How to make a lo-fi beat in Beatloom
The starter beat above already follows these moves — pull it apart pad by pad, or clear the grid and build your own from the recipe.
01 / 03
Slow it down, loosen the kick
Lo-fi lives between 70 and 90 BPM. Keep the kick off the strict grid feel — the starter's kick lands on 1 with late answers, which is where the head-nod comes from.
02 / 03
Dusty hats, soft backbeat
Eighth-note closed hats with the volume pulled down read as tape haze on the Velvet Lo-Fi kit. Snare on 2 and 4, mixed soft — nothing in lo-fi should snap.
03 / 03
Warm chords in a minor key
Flip the Keys track's VOICE chip to Soft Grand and comp two or three chord tones per bar in G minor. Sparse is the sound; export it on the Output tier ($3.99 once) when it feels like rain on a window.
Free to build & hear. $3.99 to own the master.

Lo-Fi beat questions
Is this lo-fi beat maker free?
Yes — the Velvet Lo-Fi kit is one of Beatloom's two free kits, so the whole preloaded groove is editable without paying. Free includes the sequencer, mixing, and key/scale control. Creative is $1 once for all twelve kits; Output is $3.99 once for the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, save slots and shareable links (standard-quality export is free).
What tempo are lo-fi beats?
Usually 70–90 BPM. The starter beat runs at 82 BPM; drag the tempo readout to slow it into full study-beats territory.
How do I get that dusty lo-fi sound without samples?
The Velvet Lo-Fi kit synthesizes tape-worn hats and a soft kick by default, and the Keys track's Soft Grand voice gives you the warm piano. Low hat volume + a little swing does the rest — no vinyl crackle samples needed.
Can I use my lo-fi beats in videos or streams?
Yes — everything is synthesized in your browser, so your exports are entirely yours. Use them under videos, streams, or a full release.
Cost, licence & export
How much does Beatloom cost?
Building and hearing a beat is free, with no account. Creative is $1 once and unlocks all twelve kits, seven more instrument rows, sample and loop upload, 32 steps, swing and panning. Output is $3.99 once and adds the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, three save slots and shareable beat links — a standard-quality WAV export is free on every tier. Nothing is a subscription and nothing renews.
Are the beats royalty-free? Can I use them commercially?
Yes. Everything you make in Beatloom is royalty-free and yours on every tier, including free. Release it, sell it, monetise it, and use it in paid client work — video, ads, podcasts, social — with no per-project licence, no attribution and no extra fee. The one thing you cannot do is resell the raw Beatloom sounds as a sample pack.
Can I export my beat as a WAV file?
Yes. Standard-quality export is free. The one-time $3.99 Output unlock adds clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV masters, three pattern save slots and shareable beat links. Exports download straight to your device.
Does Beatloom work on a Chromebook, or on a phone?
Yes. Any modern browser works — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop or mobile, including Chromebooks. On phones the step grid scrolls sideways; headphones are recommended for the sub-bass.
