(Digital Audio Workstation) such as FL Studio, Pro Tools, etc. Now if you’re working on your song in a D.A.W. Instead just structure your lyrics in double time so that now every line is actually half of a bar in normal time. So counting your bars this way is going to make your bars very long thus causing you to write really small to fit all those lyrics on one line. Remember the snares are typically structured in normal time which is the slower “R&B” element of the instrumental. You may want to structure your lyrics in double time because if you’re counting your bars in normal time it’s going to be hard to fit all of your lyrics from one bar on one line. With that being said you may want to structure your lyrics in double time as well. If you’re not familiar with how to properly structure your lyrics be sure to check out my video lesson on structuring lyrics. Producers like to produce in double time because it’s much easier for them to program the faster elements of the instrumental such as the Hi-Hats. However, if you listen to the Hi-Hats they are typically really FAST!!! This is why it’s common to hear both rapping and singing over “Trap” style instrumentals.įor example, you will notice the snares are usually structured in normal time which is why when you convert your 8 count into a double-timed 4 count there is only one snare per bar falling on the 3rd beat. So you would be correct in saying that these types of instrumentals are both slow and fast. Meaning a blend of both slow, melodic elements and also fast rhythmic elements as well. Now, what makes “Trap” style instrumentals so unique is that these instrumentals are actually a hybrid or a mix of R&B and Hip-Hop. Let’s first briefly discuss why producers like to make “Trap” style instrumentals in double time. Now that you understand how to divide a bar from normal time into double time you may still be wondering why is this necessary in the first place? I’m glad you asked 🙂 Making Trap Beats In Double Time You would say this instead… one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four instead of saying… one, and, two, and, three, and four and If you want to accomplish this by ear simply take the 8 count you’ve learned how to do in normal time and replace the “ands” with the next available number. This is because in double time we’re dividing 1 bar in half which now gives us two bars, hence the name “double time”. Now double time can be tricky to wrap your head around at first but it’s quite simple to understand. In double time there are still 4 beats per bar but there’s typically only one snare per bar which lands on the 3rd beat. And you already know how to do the four and the eight count. Now as you already know, in normal time there’s 4 beats in a bar and the kicks typically land on the 1st and 3rd beat and the snares on the 2nd and 4th beat.
