These synth sounds provide a contemporary touch while filling out the background of your beat. Make the chords more rhythmic by playing the chords on the off-beats for a syncopated and energetic feel. The skank rhythm, famously used in reggae and ska music, also finds common ground in reggaeton. This rhythm perfectly mirrors the four-on-the ...

We’ll start by creating a virtual instrument track, then setting its category to Drum Pads and instrument to Techno Throwback. This kit has a clean kick with a solid low end that will allow us to create the insistent driving feel we’re after. We set the project tempo to 96BPM, and add kicks on every beat of the bar.
We need a full but natural-sounding snare, so let’s add another virtual instrument track, and this time set it to Drum Pads and the Boom Bap Classic Kit. We’ll add snares on the fourth and seventh 16th notes, and duplicate this sequence so it plays over the third and fourth beat too. This kick-snare rhythm is a reggaeton fundamental, and now we’ve ...
Reggaeton tracks don’t tend to have too much going on in the way of hi-hats, and avoid the rigid 8th notes closed-hat patterns that are found in hip-hop, trap and many electronic genres. Many reggaeton tracks have barely perceptible hats, and just use them to brighten up the snares. Let’s give that a try. We’ll add another virtual instrument track,...
Currently our reggaeton beat is rather generic, so let’s add another percussion element to give it a more flavour. We add another virtual instrument rack, setting it to Drum Pads and Neptunian Kit. The sound we’re interested in here is the shaker, which we’ll play on the sixth 8th note of the bar. Before, beats 1 and 2 of the bar were identical to ...
Let’s set the track’s pan position to -20 to move it into the left speaker, giving our beat a bit of the stereo feel. Let’s put something into the right speaker too: duplicate the beat out so it plays for two bars, then duplicate the shaker track and pan the new version to +20, putting it into the right speaker. Delete the second shaker on the left...
Now we’ve fleshed out our beat a little, let’s try adding some musical elements to hear how it works in context. To find some appropriate material we open the Loop browser, click the loop tab and enter ‘reggaeton’ into the search bar. Reggaeton Bass 02makes for a pleasing musical base so we drag that onto a new track. Reggaeton Inst 03has a complim...

Aug 17, 2022 · The core components of reggaeton are the KICK and SNARE. Much like house music, the kick falls on all four quarter notes of the bar. However, reggaeton is typically slower than house and this leaves plenty of space for the snare to fill the gaps, creating more movement. Here the key snares are on 4/16, 7/16, 12/16 and 15/16.
