Feedback on your beat before you sell it

Updated

Before you upload a beat to BeatStars or send it to artists, check four things: the drums bounce, the 808 is in key and clean, the melody leaves room for a vocal, and the arrangement has switch-ups. A review from a working hip hop producer catches what you cannot hear after 50 loops.

What makes a beat ready to sell?

  • Drums that bounce. Groove and hi-hat movement that makes an artist want to write.
  • Clean 808s. In key, controlled, and audible on phone speakers.
  • Room for the vocal. Melody and chords that support, not compete.
  • Arrangement. An intro tag, switch-ups and a clear structure for verses and hooks.
  • A mix that is loud enough, not crushed.

Why get feedback before uploading?

Listeners decide in seconds, and artists scroll through hundreds of beats. A fresh, experienced ear tells you what to fix before those first seconds count.
