Composing eurobeat

Hi! It's another Finn here, but this time with a bit different subject ;)

I've been trying to compose eurobeat songs for a while now, but with no success. It's not that the songs sound bad, they just don't sound eurobeatish; they don't have that little something that makes a song eurobeat.

Anyone got any tips on this subject?

Well It might not be a terrible help, but Sony puts out some great music making software. Vegas Video 5.0 is great for looping, transitions, and tons of other little things. They also make a program called "Acid Pro" which is perfect for music creation. Along with the programs themselves, they have what they call "Loop Libraries" which have hundreds of royalty free loops, sounds, beats, and SFX's. Check out their website for details:

They also offer free loops online if you sign up with them so you can start creating right away.

Hope this is helpful, and I'll try to research the subject more!

Also don't forget the words "Dance" and "Satisfaction"... Those are pretty popular.

"Take me to the top" also sems to be a popular phrase.

That's a good one. Also try "Crazy"...

If you're looking to write a song in the HI-NRG style, use phrases like "Stop and Go" or "Up and down" and have some "Ehy - ei - ei's" in there. Words like "Bazooka" and "Boom" are good to include.

:wink:
