How Happy Accidents Can Inspire Your Beats

In music production, happy accidents are magical ways to inspire new ideas and help you finish tracks. Here are some examples you can try in your own beats.

Happy accident is a reward for the hard work lol

[Alex.FilipDUB]

My greatest ideas sparked from accidents and I love that

happy accident aka receving a collab from the stars

Slaping a Shaperbox or Tantra on sounds and resampling, then chopping up the audio is my go to in every track.

So crazy how this can work out, I like for example having drums and bass layed down and having a plugin with randomizer-function on a lead or melody !
Like a song starter, just gotta listen for that magic/ear candy part and go from there

Although mousing is much maligned, a lot of my best moments have been borne out dragging midi parts around while I’m arranging and during playback a transition happens with parts that I’ve just placed somewhere to use later in the track. Bloody love it when it happens! It’s like finding a tenner you left in one of your pockets when you were wasted🤣
The beauty of being slightly random and not as controlled as a grown up should be!!🤣🤣

Why the tracks that I actually finish always start from an accident 😭

I had one with the ableton note repeater plugin it was just a 4 note midi clip but it with the plugin it was the perfect trancey melody

[Nefertum_CZ]

Yeah, i was lucky like two times and i discovered something cool by mistake and I liked it so much 😁

[heinthanth]

I always try to make that happy accidents by throwing ShaperBox on a track and finding a good preset 😂 sometimes, it works!

[vinedux]

yep, the best songs probably came from accidents, my own favorite projects all accidentally came together the way they did

[MikeGraves-pdtg]

Load a sampler or drum pad with percussion and or beats and then load an arpeggiator for random end of bar shuffles… it can get quite interesting..

[raavanhitech]

Take a midi from your lead or sequences and put it in your drum rack

[zappolan]

Happened to me today while I was making a drop 😂

[Ron.Swanson.]

this happened with my last beat I created. Ended up taking over the whole song and being the chorus lol

[PIZZAdayisback]

Odd request but I'll see what i can do 🤔

[lukaskatanicpedersen]

is this FL studio? Does he use FL in general?
