Chill lofi beat tutorials for new beat makers?
September 1, 2021 5:09 AM Subscribe
I'm very new to beatmaking (but not new to GarageBand or Soundtrap) and would like to learn how to make beats--just beats!--in a DAW. Details below the fold.
Over the past few months I've been recording ukulele and vocals into GarageBand and recording covers. I'd like to add some beats to fill out the low end and give the songs more of a momentum, and I'm really drawn to the warmth and fullness of lofi beats. Whenever I've looked up tutorials YouTube about how to make lofi/aesthetic beats, they start with melodies--which I already have--and assume some knowledge of how to make beats, which I don't have.
My question is this: What are some resources for new beatmakers who just want to make aesthetic/lofi beats and have the melodies under control? If this helps, I want to make something that sounds a little like a glitchy, warped version of Casio presets (like this or this), but more bass-heavy.

Here is an example YouTube video. There are hundreds if not thousands of these types of tutorials.
