KingCobraJFS I agree with you that Navie is something else. He has this literary quality about him, you see structure all around in his work and discourse. Most people that can do stuff can't teach for shit. You can learn from them in a monkey see, monkey do way. Navie can do it, and he also messages his info like a baseball player would throw a ball into the glove. I've learned from a lot of people, but if someone asks me for some producing related content, it's Navie that I'll recommend to them for sure.

😘 how kind. Thank you so much for the lovely compliments my friend

Use kick start to get that exact pump Side chaining is a long route when there's a plug for it

@Techniquebytheway Great when using 4 on the floor, but lack on others :)

That's true engineering right there, usually routing audio into a dead end would be objectively wrong but now it's being used as an effect.

🙏 Welcome aboard my friend!

Yeah I primarily watch this channel and Simon Servida. Check him out too if you haven't.

Awesome! We have a good bunch of lads and gals in the discord

DISCORD??!

@CHRS MRVL yup. I believe the link is in the description of either this vid or the previous one. Come and hang out and give some feedback on beats and get feedback on yours!

@MVN STN is it good for learning new things as well? I just started getting serious about making beats but there’s sum things I wanna learn so I can do more.

@YVNG KING yup, I believe there is a room for sharing ideas and thoughts, and you can ask just about anyone for a hand. Respectable!

Hopefully it results in some good music for you!

No problem man! There are plenty of ways to skin a cat as they say

👌 May this tip serve you well Griffin

Thank you Nij!

Ayyyyy awesome dude, I am happy they help!

Thanks Chris!

but it costs money

@edv . gotta spend money to make money

Thank you! And your display pic is excellent

You're welcome!

Long read but if you're still having this issue or if someone who sees this is then this should hopefully help you out (basically a few tips/tricks/general rules I've learned and still use or used to use until I improved my ear). What I recommend is turning your volume to 25-30% putting a limiter on your master channel with thr ceiling set to -3 to -6 yo help give an artist room to put there vocals on and then putting each sound you want to use on the mixing rack and open up an eq on each channel you have a sound assigned to. As a general rule you don't want sounds taking up the same sound frequencies and you'll want each sound to take up it's own frequency range in the mix so that nothing clashes with each other. So if you have a kick that's hitting around 80hz you'd want to avoid an 808 that hits in this frequency and hits either lower or higher. Also if you notice the decibel level for your sound is in the red on the mixer it's best to lower the volume in your channel rack instead of the mixer to make sure it's not clipping and causing the audio distortion since lowering the volume on the mixing channel is just going to quite down the already clipping sound. I also recommend having a track with a similar sound to yours to use as a reference point for how loud all your sounds should be in comparison together. It's much better to use your ears then say that in each track your 808 has to hit at -3db your kick at -1 and hihats around -12 to -24 since some sounds will have a lot more body to them and will sound more prominent or less than they should be even if you have them set to specific levels however that doesn't mean you can't have a certain level you like to use for each sound when you start the mixing process that you can use as a starting point to see what needs adjusting. BIG TIP if you are mixing each sound individually you're limiting yourself to what it's going to sound like in the big picture and I highIy recommend looping the busiest section of your track and get your levels and eq where the need to be while everything's playing together so you can see how one change is going to effect your end product. I personally also like to mix my beats the next day with a fresh ear in case somethings not as fire as I thought it was in the moment and needs swapped out which happens often it'll be easy to catch with that fresh ear then I'll wait a few hours after I'm done to give it a final listen.

Thanks Jeswil! Music theory isn't really my forte unfortunately

Thanks boss! Apollo is a legend

@Navie D can you make Apollo Brown tutorial ?

@TheWhtt Dzbany TV Sido PLeease :o

Thank you Ismael!

That's a fair point! I should have been a bit more particular with my wording, reversed drums can sound a bit disorienting if it's all throughout your sample like it was in this video.

Awesome, thank you for watching!

Good luck if the sample is riddled with drums like the sample I showed!

@Navie D Lol That's why you time stretch. It's just a matter of putting in the work. IF you really want the sample, you'll do what's needed. You work on a particular way of editing until chopping the example you showed isn't as daunting as you're seeing it to be (not to mention the happy accidents that come up that can have you work the sample in a different way that you didn't originally hear in your head instead of just abandoning it). Just like what you've taught in this video may be difficult to some in the beginning, but eventually they'll get it, and they may even come up with their own technique in the process. There's difficult, and then there's difficult for you until it isn't (not you, but generally speaking lol)...

Welcome aboard MYI!

Even if I start making fortnite videos?

You wouldn't lol 🤣🤣 Until that day I'm here

Ohh any reason for the switchup?

@Navie D thanks for asking. i have been thinking more about your video you made about it being okay to use samples. Also, i just got serato sampler recently along with collabing with a live drummer. Making more bboy breaks.

This is true! Sidechaining has a lot of great utility uses

Thank you man! I love making sampling videos

@Navie D cool

Thanks for watching boss!

Thank you for watching Aryaaaaaa

Thanks Derick! Hopefully the video does well cuz I really enjoyed making this video

I didn't know teal existed, thanks for sharing!

😬

Reverse drums sound fire imo

Whenever someone makes a rule in music there’s always going to be an exception.

@John Doe there shouldn’t be any rules 🤷🏽‍♂️

@DAS DaBeatJunkie Rules aren’t there to be rigid frameworks they’re there to be stylistic boundaries that you can work inside or out of. The moment you understand that you’ll be able to make progress. Unless you regularly enjoy stuff like 12-tone serialism, harsh noise wall and free jazz, you don’t really mean it when you say “there shouldn’t be rules”.

Oooh thank you, I enjoyed that one too

Hahaha time to get jiggy with that sample

@Navie D yess sirrr :D

The second one I want to use so bad

I like the third beat because it starts with a little moment of flute that made me go, oh, this lofi shit. But then the vibe quickly turn into somewhat industrial, yeezus like

3rd bear for sure the hardest 1st tip is real sauce

Pump technique’s beat, it’s kind of like j dilla

The reversed samples one! So dope with the sounds. I even think I caught you bobbing your head a little! haha I know I was..

Ahh, thanks for sharing!

Ricky Romerio bro?😭😭 Don’t disrespect my man like that

@Sverre nicky Romero* my fault

Happy to have you on board Okada!

Now you're thinkin

🐐

Papa is here, don't worry bebe

Jonny boy, glad it helped!

Way underrated

Is Dikke a good thing?

@Navie D Yes it's a good thing. It means 'fat tips' 😂 But seriously good advice,you are my beat mentor

Pump it up!

🤐

@Navie D ooo you one of those producers..ok I respect it

@Alizar just you Shazam or soundhound

did you find this one?

It is all a process you must learn with time. Like training a muscle, you must work many many times before it is strong and efficient. To get that skill will take a long time. I have been producing for 6 years, and only recently have I reached a skill level that I would consider "average" or "acceptable". You will get it in time
