The Making of Rogue Planet and it's Future Plans
In this episode I show you how I made "Rogue Planet" a beat  for a fellow artist named RJ Trujillo. Each sound can be given a meaning or a greater purpose in relation to the MC's lyrics. Enjoy a beat breakdown and the full reveal at the end and hopefully it might spark a creative idea within yourself. Here are a couple of things that I think are important to remember when creating (beats specifically) and will be found mentioned in the breakdown of Rogue Planet:

* Don't give up on a sound too quickly. It can be used as your stepping stone for the next better sound.
* When recording natural instruments such as hand drums and guitars, make sure to try your best to capture the moments of natural inspiration by allowing yourself the time to experiment and connect with the song.
* Sometimes a scratch track can stem the final idea.
* Try to be aware of how a listener might perceive your song at any given point. If you have a feeling they might get tired of hearing the chorus in the same fashion, switch it up. In my case, I switched up the whole beat!
