Hip hop is one of the music genres popular across different cultures and ages. Hip hop has been around for decades and during this time, has experienced several changes. Despite these changes, old school hip hop and modern hip hop share one thing in common, high energy. Simply put, hip hop ranks among high energy music genres.

The biggest change in Hip Hop in recent times is the way that the music is created. Computers connected to instruments have been able to create beats that were not possible in the past. It is much easier to create auxiliary sounds and other sound effects that can make your beats unique A professional will be able to use all of the tools and techniques that they can to make a beat that gets people on their feet and listening to what they have to offer. While the technology that is used to create the sounds may have changed, there is one thing that has remained consistent. The use of bass is something that is vital to a good hip hop track. If you want to sound like a professional, you need to know how to use the bass sounds in the right way.

The bass is responsible for the structure of the song. It gives the music the harmonic balance that it needs to make sense. Without the bass, the music is not as easy to listen to. If there is nothing providing that type of harmonic structure, the listener will try to add it on their own. That will not make for a popular beat.

There are two main ways of adding bass to your beats. First is the rhythmic bass. This method can be used to incorporate the bass element throughout the track. The second is the sustained beat. This is usually incorporated in parts of the beat to keep it going.

Although there are only two techniques of adding bass to the sound, variations of each exist to enable you to change the way the bass sounds within the beat. Variations such as changing the note, layering, and stretching can be easily used to create different bass sounds throughout the song.

The best way to add the bass to your music is one step at a time. Begin with a basic bass sound and start to change it one piece at a time. The changes will help turn your music into something really special.
