Whatsup everyone. I've been making beats for over 3 years now, and every now and then I come up with a hott full beat, but majority of the time Im stuck with a simple sounding beat. My drum patterns are full, and they have kicks, hi hats, shakes, snares, and even some bells. That aint da hard part though. I listen to the Neptunes and other producers and I see how full their beats sound. When I think of basslines in my head, and put the basslines and melodies with the drums, they dont sound full at all, and sometimes they dont even go with the drums once their recording. My beats are very bassy so I dont think bass is my problem here. Some people tell me chords make the beats sound full, but some artist dont even use chords. Ive been trying to get that Timbalandish sound; like on that one Tweet single. He didnt use really no hi hats or nunnin and it sounded full.
Really my question for all of you is, what do you guys do to make your songs sound full. Special effects? Chords? A lot of bass? Melodies?
