This is The K Beats, a beatmaker.
Hallo I'm 'The K Beats', a beatmaker active on YouTube. Currently, he also sells beats on YouTube and continues his musical activities through record work with various underground artists.
It's easy for beginners to get started
For sustainable beatmaking
The goal of my class is to finish songs quickly and easily and not lose interest along the way. Because this is a class for people who are just getting interested in beatmaking and have just started I've designed a curriculum so that even people with no background can easily create their own beats.
Of course, the theoretical part of music is really important. However, if it takes too long to complete a song for perfection, it's easy to get tired and lose interest. Based on DAW 'Ableton Live', which has been consistently loved by many artists Experience a sense of accomplishment as you complete the beat one by one under limited conditions. This fun may be a more important value for all of you than the content of this lesson.
Together with the beginning of hip-hop
Step by step, starting with sampling techniques
In this class Let's start with the sampling technique, which is the origin and most representative method of hip-hop. We will learn how to choose a good sample, and how to use the sample to recreate it with your own color, and how to create something new by drawing ideas from that sample.
Even if you don't have great creativity, I'll help you fully complete your own song with my tips and skills. If you experience hip-hop beats with the most original sampling techniques, you can get closer to the hip-hop genre and beat-making concept a little easier and faster.
From classic to trendy
From Boom Bap to Trap
Once you're familiar with basic beatmaking, we'll cover the ever-popular genres of hip-hop beats, such as boom and trap, and discuss the characteristics of the genre, starting with understanding the songs representing each genre. Furthermore, feel the joy of building up a sweaty track while making your own beats.
That beat selected by Gist x Vincen!
Experience it firsthand with project files
Now that I've finished understanding hip-hop beats, I'm going to break down the project file of the beat I created and used by GistxVinchen and talk about how this beat was structured and how it is possible to create a different kind of beat through variations.. (The project files used in the song work will be provided as lesson materials.)
Beatmakers in the Gutnook
To be able to dream of a billboard
No matter how good the beat is, if it doesn't come out of the world, it doesn't mean anything after all, right? I'll tell you all the know-how that I and many beatmakers actually use about how I can promote and sell my own beats to artists and the public.
From start to finish
So that you can continue to enjoy
There is a saying that those who make an effort cannot beat those who enjoy it. However, I think those who enjoy it are those who make an effort. If you don't enjoy it, you'll finish it before you try. We'll help you enjoy every moment of finishing a song as you begin beatmaking, so that you can continue playing music even after you've finished the lesson. We'll meet you in class.

The K Beats
Hallo It's called 'The K Beats', a beatmaker active on YouTube.
I think there are many people who want to try beatmaking or songwriting, but it seems difficult and doesn't know where to start. I think the most important thing when starting something is “fun” rather than “theory” and “knowledge,” and “pleasure” when doing even small things.
Therefore, I want to conduct classes in a way that is very practical and easy to complete the beat. Furthermore, I would like to tell you about the process of selling finished bits. Let us help you start your small steps.
