UJAM Beatmaker Hustle

Full Description

It's a trap

Flex your style and harness the signature sounds of underground Grime, Trap and Dirty South. Heavily reliant on the beat, Hustle lets you inject the booming basses, frantic hi-hats and gritty snares that have become a staple in these genres. Continuing where classic drum machines left off, Beatmaker Hustle encompasses instantly recognisable sounds and turns the heat up to 10, taking them further than anyone else dares to go.

The easiest way to get low

Traditional methods of creating beats through static loops, samples and classic drum machines can be laborious, uninspiring and challenging for new producers and musicians. UJAM Beatmaker Hustle evolves beyond these traditional norms and offers a new way to quickly and easily create booming beats for modern Trap and Dirty South-style genres. Hustle is a dynamic instrument that follows your musical lead and works with you, just as if you had access to professional musicians in your own studio. Finding the right groove for your track is afforded through the 690 pre-made phrases in 60 unique performance styles. Whether you're looking for aggressive, frantic hi-hat grooves, powerful snare rolls or bumping bass drums, Hustle has it all. From start to finish, dedicated song structure patterns help you to craft an entire song in minutes with sections from intros, verses, choruses, breakdowns and outros. For any necessary tweaks to your MIDI patterns, you can drag and drop your phrase into your DAW for fine-tune editing to get the perfect groove for your track, every time.

Accessing the myriad of phrases and styles onboard is made easy through the streamlined and innovative interface. Eliminating the need for deep menu diving and the constant tweaking of knobs and dials, UJAM Hustle keeps you in the creative workflow to ensure you never lose your creative spark in the moment.

Production-ready tones

Flexible enough to fit the context of any project, regardless of mix style, Beatmaker Hustle features a plethora of onboard mixing tools and customisation to find the right sound, every time! Pick and choose between 10 different drum kits, each with 16 unique drum instruments, to create a customised drum kit, without the headache of setting each drum up in the real world. From crisp hi-hats, gritty snares and booming 808-style kicks, Hustle harnesses the quintessential Dirty South, Trap and Grime tones. No more searching through banks and banks of samples as every drum in Hustle has been hand-selected to encapsulate the modern era of underground sounds. Crunching, booming and full of swagger, Hustle can stand on its own within a modern production, carrying the groove on its shoulders.

Alongside the wide selection of different drum instruments, Beatmaker Hustle features a suite of mixing tools to enhance and customise your sound depending on the requirements of your mix. A global mixing section offers simple one-knob control for saturation, maximising, ambience and analog-style filter sweeps. Perfect for quickly adding crunching harmonics, loudness, space and cinematic swells to your drum kit sound without diving into complicated mixing parameters. For more inexperienced mixing engineers, Beatmaker Hustle comes included with 12 professionally-made mixing presets to enhance and transform your drum kit sound. Add some Lofi character and vibe with the Tuff preset or cover your beat in polished sheen with the Poppin preset. Each mix preset can be dialled in using the Beat Intensity control to tailor the brightness of each preset to fit virtually any mix style. Going beyond what was ever possible with traditional drum machines, you can tune your 808-style kick to the key of the song for a more musical sound.

For more experienced producers and engineers, UJAM Beatmaker Hustle includes multi-output routing. This enables you to process individual tracks outside of the plug-in and in your DAW using third-party plug-ins, perfect for helping to optimise your workflow and maximise your sonic potential!
