I'm a year into this and I feel like I'm not growing. I'm fluent with my hardware(Machine Mike)& still researching DAWs. What makes a beat exciting and or emotionally moving? What element am I lacking?
what i found out brings your beats to life is adding some sort of structure and progression to the track. i used to try to emulate what i hear on the radio and whats mainstream but those beats are the same 1 bar loops repeated over and over and over and it sounded really boring by itself. also try coming up with cool transitions
Total noob question but musical phrasing?Adding some musical phrasing to accentuate any vocals that will possibly be recorded over it in future is what really keeps it interesting.

OK. I think I get it. Like giving the beat a voice or personality of its own, which compliments but not over power the laid vocals. Yes?. Lol.
Listen to music with a critical ear though it is increasingly difficult to do in today's microwave music era.
