Guide To Beats And Instrumentals: Auxiliary Sounds

By Delroy Wilkins


Creating a complete hip hop track can requires a lot of time investment. Over time, you get to learn and use different techniques to give your hip hop tracks the unique sound you want. The use of layers and appropriate beats can create some groove within your sounds. However, these alone cannot help you create that perfect sound. Auxiliary sounds on the other hand, when used alongside basic sounds, can help you achieve this. While some people might seem content with a simple sound, the majority want a deep and complex sound. The use of auxiliary sounds to complete tracks is the best way to achieve a complex beat everyone wants to listen to.

Auxiliary sounds are often found in the background of the track. They aren't actually what people listen to when they hear a beat. These sounds work to add some depth to the music making it more pleasant to listen to. For easy use of auxiliary sounds, it's best to break them down first in the following ways.

Accents. These are auxiliary sounds whose main purpose is adding emphasis to specific parts within the beat. A good example is the use of a crash cymbal played at the end of a track. This is definitely a sound that listeners will remember. Most importantly, it plays a huge role in ensuring that listeners also recalls what comes before this sound. This technique is especially great when you want specific parts within the track to stand out. Other great accents in addition to sounds within the beat include piano and bass.

Transition FX Sounds. Within tracks, there are specific parts of transition such as from chorus to verse. Auxiliary sounds are a great way to mark these parts within the song. Drums are commonly used transitioning sounds. However, you can still get a great effect if you use other auxiliary sounds such as bass or keyboards.

Fun sounds. Adding specific sounds within the beat can make it more fun. The auxiliary sounds used to bring out this effect are usually specialized sounds. These specialized sounds can be samples from other songs or even, sounds listeners come across daily. A sigh can be a great example sound that falls under the category of fun addition.

If you are trying to create your special hip hop song, you need to make sure that you take the time to add in the auxiliary sounds. Without them, a song will not sound complete or will be too simple. The professionals understand this and make sure to use these sounds properly.
