Need an idea? Start from one of these
A beat is a song with the singer taken out: drums, bass and a hook that carries the groove. Making one used to mean learning a production app. Here you describe the groove in words and get an instrumental track back.
The page opens on Instrumental and hip-hop. Switch the style to electronic for lo-fi, house and dance beats. Describe the drums, the bass and the mood as specifically as you can.

“A dark, moody trap-style beat with fast hi-hats, heavy 808 bass and an eerie bell melody”

How it works
Keep Instrumental on
A beat has no vocals. If you want someone rapping on it, use the AI rap generator.
Describe the groove
Drums, bass, the melodic loop, and the tempo in words: “slow and swung”, “fast and tight”.
Choose hip-hop or electronic
Hip-hop for boom-bap and trap-style; electronic for lo-fi, house and dance.
Download and use it
Create the beat, download the MP3, and write to it, edit to it or loop it.
Words that describe a beat
Producers talk about beats in parts. Do the same in your description:
- Drums: “punchy kick”, “crisp snare”, “rolling hi-hats”, “swung groove”.
- Bass: “deep 808”, “warm bass line”, “sub-heavy”.
- Melody: “piano loop”, “dark bells”, “jazzy chords”, “synth stabs”.
- Feel: “head-nodding”, “late-night”, “aggressive”, “chill”.
What beats are used for
Writing and practising verses, backing tracks for short videos, focus music, workout playlists and intros for streams. ChatUp does not claim ownership of your beats; check the Terms for how you can use AI-generated output, and keep in mind similar output may be generated for someone else.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I make beats with AI without any production experience?
- Yes. Describe the beat in plain words and ChatUp builds the track. Production vocabulary helps, but it isn’t required.
- Can I control BPM or key?
- There are no tempo or key controls. Describing the speed and mood in words is the way to steer it.
- Can I get separate drum and bass tracks?
- No. Each beat comes as one finished MP3.
- Which styles work for beats?
- Hip-hop and electronic are the natural fit. Rock and acoustic instrumentals also work for other kinds of backing tracks.
