Beat Makers!!!
 

What do you usually do first..

Melodies/Strings

or Drums..

Personally I tihnk it's easier to go off a Melody..or a string pattern...

but it doesnt sound as clean as when you make the back bone of the drums first..

Actually..I just need help..Period.

build a strong drum section first and then everything else will fall into place

but then again it depends on what idea comes to you first
every beat's different and therefore needs to be built differently sometimes

hope that helps

btw this is the wrong section this should be in audio assistance

well i figured I'd put it here...because most people that check Assistence are really Audio heads and not beat makers.

yeh i feel you

I always make the melody first, and then build the rest of the beat around it.

i ALWAYS do my drums first
for me i need to have a solid pattern down in order for me to lay my melodies right
i fuck up the tempo a lot of times if my melodies arent playing correctly, so the drums kind of guide me...

then of course afterwards i can go in and edit a few things here and there

but yea
drums first
then everything else
