What's the biggest bonehead beat mistake you made when you first started?

TRAGIC! 6 aylar önce

Put an eq on my master track boosting the entire low-end as much as possible. Idk what I was thinking every time I open those old projects my ears hurt

jjbing3 6 aylar önce

Not putting the loop in time😑

Turning knobs in plugins I knew nothing about till it sounded "good enough" lol

I gotta be honest, with some of these, the problem is these people just don’t understand music or how to make things sound in-tune or rhythmically accurate😂

timo_ott 6 aylar önce

I disagree bro, i used to make beats like that when i started, it takes time to figure out everything, from sound selection, concept to making the beat sound in tune

@timo_ott Sometimes you'll even feel like you've hit your head when you learn something new.

I'm so used to using the channel rack and piano roll to make patterns that I have never used the playlist, I love how FL has many ways to do the same thing

Facts. I just started using the playlist this year out of the decade I been using FL.

The 3rd beat is my problem. Have to always remind myself to keep things simple and I usually don't use many elements when I revisit the beat later.

Didn't know Benzima switched careers and started teaching beat making. Love your videos bro!

That SAB beat was actually pretty fucking dope (not that I disliked your version by any means, Navie!), I would actually use that!🔥🔥🔥 If somebody's got SAB's info send it to me

OkOkay Okayy 5 aylar önce

real inquiry navie, is it super wrong to use the bass frequencies from samples if the low end sounds super cool? idk if im explaining this right, but there are times when i sample songs and i dont cut out the low end too heavy, some times i use the samples low end as an anchor for my beat.

more snqp 4 aylar önce

its good as long as you're careful with your bass! if u add another bass sound, you can layer it playing the exact notes of the sample (or less notes). problem is it might become muddy, so you need to be careful with your bass sound, and your mixing a trick if you want some low end unless your bass is playing, is to use an autofilter, or sidechain multiband, to make the samples low end duck down when the bass plays hope this helps lol, sry for the paragraphs

OkOkay Okayy 4 aylar önce

@more snqp nah i appreciate this! all makes sense, really appreciate the help forreal!

Hi Navi D I don't speak English and sometimes it's hard for me to understand what you're talking about. I watch your videos in this way: I turn on the captions for the video and use the translator and then I understand you. I want to buy a course, but I don't know if it will be on TRshow and if there are subtitles so I can use a translator?

Over Technical Thinking in this Era actually makes most beats sound the same or wack.

André 2 aylar önce

Lets be honest, the problem with number 4 (and 3) is not mistaking "technique A with technique B", that comes pretty naturally. You don´t need to learn the "patterns" just need to have ears. Everything is messed up out of sync. Nice sample though.

Number was good! But they added too much to it. Also, I may would have taken it up an octave.

I miss the times where Navie wasn't correcting weak beats from his beatmaker course 😔

BishipGoodbar 5 aylar önce

Don't make your drums as stiff as he does, they are way to mechanical on the grid. FL studio in 2003. Bounce, swing, humanize

Airport Security Austria 5 aylar önce

I think he was just quickly showing us an example of drums that would fit the beat better.

CAMRNLVE 4 aylar önce

First beat “lacking” low/mid range isn’t bad because that’s where a lot of your vocal will be. But I did love the hit sound you put in there!

Hogboy 3 aylar önce

Nope, vocals should sit in the highs/high mids mostly.

CAMRNLVE 3 aylar önce

@Hogboy depends on the voice

reliction 3 aylar önce

@CAMRNLVE even the deepest of voices are EQ'd in a way that makes the low-mid end quieter

I have tons of course members who use Ableton dawgy. They say it's still super helpful

@Navie D aiigh ima sign up soon, do I need to know music theory?

DiOLE 5 aylar önce

As long as you know your DAW well there is visually nothing you won't able to replicate. I took a course where the intructor was using Ableton right when I started making music, I had zero problems following along because I took a Udemy course on producing with FL Studio before.

Airport Security Austria 5 aylar önce

@DiOLE it's not the brush, it's the artist.

HXTXMANE 5 aylar önce

At the First Beat maybe He let space for a vocal? You say, He has a lot of high freq but the low mids not there.. So a Rapper with a deeper voice (low mid area) workin better than a Rapper with a high freq voice on this beat

Space Boy Productions 5 aylar önce

Yeah that was pretty obvious. Was a very professional and clean record

Is better beat maker a monthly subscription or yearly. Or is it a one time purchase?

Second Circus 6 aylar önce

one time. highly recommend

Second Circus 6 aylar önce

or you could do a monthly payment plan instead of a lump sum payout

Navie D 6 aylar önce

One time purchase, or split into 3 payments. Then you have lifetime access :)

@Second Circus thank you for the kind word my man!

Sounds like theses producers or beat makers are doing way to much and not making sounds complement the main idea, some of these beats are all over the place and sound like total newbies who are on there 5th beat made ever.
