Although one of the most misused effects in making beats and instrumentals, reverb can be without question, a great friend to a beat maker or producer as well! There's something to be said about having a nice reverb flowing through your mix. It brings out a nice ambience to your beats, and gives it a nice wider feel at the same time.

What's goin' on?
Just wanted to share a remake I had done awhile back in FL Studio for Ciara's "Like A Boy". I know some of you may have seen the video, and others may not have, so I thought that for those that haven't, or even for those that have and wanted to see it again, I'm sharing the video on my blog on SoundsForBeats.com. I'll be creating more FL Studio videos of working on beats that I'll share with you all on the blog, for those that are looking for different thoughts or tips on beat making. Of course, sounds I create for SoundsForBeats.com, I actually use in my hip hop beats as well. Some sites may sell sounds but don't believe in them firmly enough to not use them. I stand behind my musical instrument sounds, and use them quite frequently on my beats.
