"If you mess up your drums, you're gonna burn your dog."
That escalated quickly.
he right tho mane
u might as well just kick your dog if you F*ck the drums up
@@johnathantidwell7299 He has a point, but that point is lost in the world of Aphex Twin.
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Major Dexter Instablaster =)
what the hell the table-dog metaphore was so funny to see animated! LOL
lol
LMFAO !
You’ll never forgot that analogy 😅
Hahahahahahaa
That made me sub hun right away 😎
If you see your beat in this video, you're legendary. You helped your peers grow by sharing your creations with Navie
Great perspective!
I should reverb my life, I’m feeling dry
I dunno what this means, but I agree
Lol most definitely get what you’re saying 🤣
...
Man....
...
If I had this when I was maybe 20, I’d probably be a billionaire by now
ok hitboy
ololo glad to have you on my channel Hitboy
@@NavieD i enjoys your tutorials alot and its supreme not hitboy
😂😂😂
@@NavieD For sure Navie. I'm a musician so I know how to find what key it's in.
Lmao his face when playing the bad beats had me weak
That's how my face always is
@@NavieD dude no offense, you looked so disappointed while those were playing
@@parentedivino5466 hahahahaha the first beat was just some random clicks tbh
3:47 💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm pretty experienced now as a producer, BUT I still come and listen and learn to be consistent but more importantly efficient. These tips aren't only just for beginners, but important to keep the foundation strong
For sure, I often make dumb beginner mistakes in my beats to this day. We all need that reminder
If you can be anything you should be efficient
"you wanna be a fancy boy" took me out 😂
Don't be a fancy boy Zinzan!
Some things I think of when beatmaking (by no means right, amateur hour here)
. I make mistakes too because I'm lazy. In my experience, don't get too attached to your beats, create an idea, arrange it. If it sucks, fine, move on and you'll be better in the next one.
- Drums - attack magazine is great for tutorials on basic structure for different genres. usually after 4 bars I change it up but that's not strict of course. percussion/sfx may help reduce the repetition
- repetitive rhythm - learn some basic music theory and pick a key/scale so you know what notes you can play. helps creating melodies etc. you can learn a lot in a half hour which will vastly improve you
- Bass - yeh don't play as chords but you can layer them sometimes if they take up diff frequencies ranges
- looping - maybe record the loop and treat it as a sample - chop it, reverse it. effect plugins help too (half time, reverb)
No idea why I comment so much, I'm supposed to be working haha
"No idea why I comment so much, I'm supposed to be working haha"
Hahah tell your boss you're doing very important work here. I whole-heartedly agree with what you pointed out, don't get too attached and fall in love with your idea. It should be treated as dispensable.
For D&B I usually write 16 bar loops, but that’s just me, I mostly based it off tutorials for that genre though. Might be interesting to try for a rap beat though, especially with free form. But yeah, 1-2 measure loops are a good starting point.
No 4: Excessive looping
Me: Sweating rhythmically
Kanye west: Loop di poop! Scoopidy poop!
Kanye could pass any beat right now he’s already in the spotlight
😓
Kanye's everywhere haha
3 years later and Kanye is certifiably insane now 😂😂
This video both gave me confidence in the knowledge I have now, but also humbled me as a reminder of where I started. By no means at I pro, we all have so much to learn and we in it together
Where you are at this time next year will always be better than where you are now as long as you keep working boss
"so this is what happens when you play around with your drums - you end up burning your dog" Haha, I love this analogy - sweet...
I hope we can all learn from this beautiful short story
@@NavieD lmao
The table dog metaphor must be the most intimidating thing I’ve heard today.... 😂 very effective
Hahah it's a cautionary tale for 2021
I think a good example for drum patterns is the Dilla produced, Pharcyde beat for “Runnin”. The pattern is never the same. They constantly change but always sounding like it makes sense.
Gang Starr - Mass appeal , is one of the greatest short loop sounds in my opinion...can listen to it over and over and not get bored of it 🤙
Really depends how good and how catchy is the melody..👍
I think what's going on there is that
A. If you listen closely, it's not a one bar loop, it's a four bar loop, if you include the drums
B. There's enough distinction between the sampled vocals on the chorus and Keith's voice to make the song un-monotonous.
C. The simplicity of the beat allows Guru to play with where is bars start and end, giving him space to be more slippery, like a saxophone solo over a consistent rhythm section.
another premier beat, Jeru the Damaja - Come Clean, short loop but such a unique sound that I cant stop listening to
Gang star bys is a 1 bar loop beat
Man I really appreciate how in depth your videos are and also how straight to the point they are as well great content I appreciate it so much bro 💯💯💯
Layering the sounds like a cake works, reverb helps too. I don't use effects b/c I learned to add other sounds to create an effect manually. Each beat and the method used is unique. Good tutorial as usual.
I found that starting with drums and making sure that makes me want to dance all by itself improved my beats a lot.
I just purchased FL studio and started making beats from scratch. This video gave me some good ideas.
Music is a journey not a competition. A bad beat to you might be a great one for someone else
Thanks for all your advice to this point, what you share with us has enabled me to get calls from my friends at 11 PM hyped saying they want to rap after listening to my beats - and really, the type of beats that make them hype are the ones that follow your fundamentals.
That made me very happy to read. Thank you for sharing this young Sedar
I spilled coffee on my 🐩. Now he is a 🌭.
Hahah Wes your emoji game is 💪
This is advanced
I spilled coffee on my poodle now he's a sausage?
Edit: Im retarded dont mind me
You beauty!!! lol
So nobody is talking about this being the best dad joke of 2021?
3:04 the dog really do be dripping with those moves ngl
Those were Pixar level animations by me
@@NavieD it runs smoother and has better graphics compared to cyberpunk at least...
@@NavieD I’m crying right now! 🤣🤣🤣 you nailed the dog and the analogy 🔥🔥🔥🎹🎹🎹👌🏼💯
your tutorials and beats are fantastic. i think you've just given me the motivation to keep going, thank you
czcams.com/video/n5HjkqxwuV4/video.html
I always thought my dog was burning because my beats were fire. Hmm you learn something everyday. 🤔
huehuehue
Joining my first remix contest for the fun of it, but realized I honestly have no idea how to make a beat at all. 😅 Only 5 days left to figure it out. I have noticed it doesn't quite sound like a consistent beat when isolated. So this helps a lot. Thank you.
czcams.com/video/n5HjkqxwuV4/video.html
Awesome Tut video as usual Navie. Appreciate you 💪🏾💯🙏🏾
I have been subscribed to your channel for about a year, and just realized you are the composer of the music for My Friend Pedro. Im now an even bigger fan. Thanks for your contributions.
Thank you Neon! Hahah yeah, I show that in every intro my friend
i liked the uniqueness of the first beat. i hate when people try to change things like that to make them more "normal" and palatable for listeners. its the same for prog rock and metal. the odd beats and time signatures are what make those genres. maybe if all you aspire to be is a type beat beatmaker for rappers, these are great tips. but i just hate advice that tells people to just do things one way
True, but doing things differently just for the sake of being different, and doing things differently with intention is what really separates the two. At the end of the day, if the artist is happy with how it sounds then that’s all that matters BUT advice and pointers can help them build on what they’re doing 💪🏾🙏🏽
Great channel man, awesome topics, a lot of useful things to learn, you are one of the few people on youtube whose videos never disappoint 👍 One thing I would like to add and what helps me with adding depth and pushing things to the front and to the back (except reverb) is gently playing with a wide mid EQ band. If it feels like its too much in your face, just pull a couple dbs down with a wide mid EQ. This also helps with carving space for a vocal that's going to go on top of it. A vocalist listening to the beat will feel more invited and less intimidated by the beat if there is actually room for his vocal. This is especially valid for the verses. So having the foreground mostly free helps with "selling" the beat. Pun intended. Just my 2 cents on the subject.
Great tip!
The depth tip is a gem... Great video.
Thank you JM! Yeah that framework really helps approach depth in a more simplistic, understandable way
Great tips! It’s always a challenge in my opinion to keep the crazy drums to a minimum to avoid a chaotic mess as a result
Yeah, in my opinion when you start out, being very straight forward and typical with the drums is going to be a better idea than trying to be a fancyboy with your drums
@@NavieD as Picasso said “you must learn the rules before you break them.”
This video is nothing but awesome! Navie D. is a beautiful and talented teacher!
Navie dropping the wisdom as usual. Thank you man!
😘 Sorrie u r da best
Man thank you so much im new and was curious to how you make your audio clips unique witbout it changing all your other tracks. Great video
Thank you for your amazing tutorial. Helped me a lot during my learning process
Lol , that table example killed me but was worth understanding 🔥 S/O Navie D
Happy New Year!!! Tip 4 is sooo true... I hear people doing this all the time... after 30 secs I’m bored!
Welcome 2021
Yep, it can be difficult but necessary to push your loops and figure out ways to keep them interesting for a whole beat
Subscribed cause i liked how everything explained was broken down using those 🔥 visuals for a deeper explanation
Glad to have you on board Isaiah
i can fully agree...getting the repitition out is probably one of the hardest things, not to mention overcoming the urge to "overload" a beat with instruments :)
Yep, it's a fine line to walk
Am glad how your channel made it. You really worked hard🙌🏽
We're still chuggin' along my friend
Love the way you make things simple and understandable! Keep going like that💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks man, I try my best to be direct and present the info in the best way possible
czcams.com/video/n5HjkqxwuV4/video.html
Your explaining stuff I just do automatically, its interesting to hear it broken down, something I probably can't do well.
When the dog came into the drum metaphor I lost it 😂. Props though, great video as usual.
awesome video... Im surprised you didnt mention velocities and the power that can bring into your rhythm by adjusting them. I know when i first started out i never changed the velocities. I sub'd keep up the awesome work man!
True, true. Velocities can be a great way to create a better rhythm
I mean im by no means a pro. im still learning daily but its just fun doing it. I love makind something out of nothing but an idea/rhythm thats playing in my head! lol
My favorite videos are when Navie pulls out photoshop
That's actually a secret $1million dollar animation software, it takes top of the line software to generate such beautiful work
This is good information eventhough I don't have this issue but really great info for templating if that's a word 😀
Super clear as always, and there are helpful advise in this video, great! and the table and dog scene was completely unexpected but too funny!
I put my heart and soul into that beautiful animation
@@NavieD really effective!
I needed this 🙏♣ thank you bro
There's nothing wrong with reverb on your bassline if it sounds the way you want it to. Just be mindful of how easily you can use up all of your headroom by doing that and EQ/filter out the lower freqs on your bass so that only the mids and higher freqs (the parts you hear, not the parts you feel) have any audible reverb.
I concur. The producer originally had reverb on the bass and that's it
Agree if the baseline is a guitar bass. Never put reverb on an 808 or a sub bass of any kind.
@@vigilantestylezidk man 808 with reverb can sound dope on the right track
@@emptysentiment7932 you can experiment with anything, but I wouldn't just slap reverb on all 808s all the time. In the context of the right song, then yeah, why not? If it sounds good, then its good.
As a guitarist now doing a one-man gig these are some great tips.
Will be exploring your Channel hope there's more get you up and drumming tutorials.
Really dig how you explain in basic terms why to do certain things to make beats and things to avoid.
This style of teaching is very helpful when we're not in front of a DAW and just able to listen.
And those are some very respectable arms and pecs 💪
Peace..
Hahah thank you man! I try my best to teach from first principals rather than showing people what to do and say "just do it".
I just use GarageBand on my phone and this is still str8 up gold, giving lots a great game I’ve already applied and made a big difference over the past few days
Awesome man, always happy when people are able to make a tangible difference
Here’s a tip for y’all: use the claw machine and set it relatively low. Really helps a lot giving it more energy. Though don’t set it too high or the pulse will be basically non existent, unless you wanna requantize a certain part later to keep the pulse exact.
Claw machine?
@@stlae It's an FL plugin/setting that let's you mess with the quantization
Just add a transient shaper after the reverb to bring the transients back but let the body have space in background
This is actually a pretty good piece of advice im gonna use this
Thx
Great knowledge drop! I find myself pondering upon the short loop/repetitive subject. I ask myself. What do beat makers feel about "A Milli"? I think its fire.
The burning dog analogy was harsh but... memorable. It'll be sticking in my head lmfao
Every time you said “don’t do that” you were talking to me LOL thanks for the knowledge. Can’t wait until Spring 😉😁
Hahah you're putting reverb on your bass? Mz G, c'mon now
@@NavieD ummm 😥🤦🏾♀️ okay I’ll stop LOL
Do whatever you want this guy ain't no top 25 beatmaker ever...he will change his opinion each year per fad
@@rustymixer2886 believe me I do what I want with my beats. I have to admit tho Navie D’s advice has been very helpful for me. Give the man a break he never said he was top 25 he’s just helping people become better Beatmakers 😁✌🏾
@@cashmoney0910 I know but he ain't an expert to me he dont use hardware he just uses FL a real person can use all 3 types real drums beat machines and software
Lol , everytime Navie D. Says "Don't do that " 😆👍🏾🙏🏽
lmao I follow your videos since days u bring a lot of good advice but damn I wasn't ready for the table example its gold
Yessss very needed!!!! Make more compilations of this bro!
Glad you liked the video Rylee!
Hey Navie, I just want to say you are the best CZcamsr I have come across. I’ve been producing for 6 years and have seen a lot of videos. You have earned a genuine subscriber and if you have a course I’d love to purchase it
Dag, glad to have you on board my friend!
big up yourself from jamaica the best talk i ever ear you music love that nuff that navie d from ricardo
I haven't just started but my only piece of extra advice to anyone is be creative think outside the box use good sound selections most important have fun and make sure it feels right, keep it simple but an addictive to the ear simple
Well articulated, new subscriber today, now it's time to binge watch lol
3:15 Mannn, you could've just let the dog out of the metaphore and it'd still explain it well enough, why you gotta do the dog like that lmao
ollol I am sorry for hurting the little pup
as per usual, great tips everyone needs to hear
Thank you my man 💪
Real helpful thnk you
Although I've never made these mistakes but now I'll know what to avoid
Where do you livestream? Love the videos man, thanks for all the tips!
Love these videos, going through the whole catalogue and learning so much! Can I ask please what video editing software you use? I love the split screen/mask effect you use and trying to find something similar
Thanks man, glad you're enjoying the catalogue! I use DaVinci Resolve. I assume you can do that effect with all editors though no?
@@NavieD thanks for replying. Look forward to more content
1. no rhythm consistency (drums)
2. flatness (sonic depth - foreground, midground, background)
3. uniform rhythm (no rhythmic variation between elements)
4. excessive looping (repetitive)
5. i missed one lol
Good summary right here
He really added nine super versatile plugins on top of each out for a single sound lmao FabFilter Pro and Valhalla were all you needed bro
Found this extremely useful. Being that i can't play the piano i would usually use as much drums as possible to fill the track lol this session has definitely opened my eyes. I wish you had similar session with MPC software. You are very good at what you do. Your explanations are very good. Wishing you more success in life. Have a good day
I've been contemplating on finding someone to evaluate my beats. Not to mention I've only been beat making since August of last year. However I currently use MPC Beats since FL Studio seems overly complicated, imo
Hey man I’ll check them out if you want! Been producing for three years
I'm self learned. It was hard at first for me too. I didn't know how to do anything but eventually I kept at it and now I find FL Studio to be the easiest DAW. I can't see myself using anything else
You are such a genius🔥
😘 You are too kind my love
Idk these videos are so straight forward, who cares about the vibe of the videos, that’s comes last
bruh it's crazy how such a small change drastically makes these beats so much better
No one with any musician background would be doing this lol. It helps a lot to learn an instrument
We all gotta start somewhere hombre
My dog disliked your analogy lol
He's also looking at me.
"Don't burn me, son" lol
I hope with this video, I've saved millions of dogs from being burnt
hey man i just started producing and i wanted to say that your vids really help me
I do metal music and I know only the basics of producing. I just watched two of your vids and learned a lot. You explain stuff clearly and consistently. I subscribed. Thank you for doing these vids. This applies to any style of music I've come to find out.
czcams.com/video/n5HjkqxwuV4/video.html
Thanks I put my flute way in the background with a 300 echo delay
👌 300 echo delays, and it's perfect
@@NavieD and add Drip by Kyle Beats lol
After watching this, I feel a lot better about my production. I still get no interest from anyone, but I feeeeeeeeeel better.
Hm I noticed you don't have any beats on your CZcams? Where are you getting no interest from
@@NavieD That's some good viewer interaction right there.
You're a legend man, thsnk you for this video
I already knew all of this but my friend just started making beats too and this will be perfect for him! Thx✌
Thank you for sharing it with your friend Edi!
How can I get my arms so big too?
I put foam underneath all of my keys so my muscles have to work extra hard in order to type
Lol your catchphrase: “Don’t do that.” 😂
Hahaha that should be my new catchphrase
gr8 start for 2021 even greater to discover & recover from these red flags thanks
Thank you for commenting Barry! Glad to see you again my friend
thanks
@@NavieD what I always ask of U.S/U.K producers is to see their approach to CARIBBEAN music like SOCA/DANCEHALL{jamaica} since I am from TRINIDAD&TOBAGO LIKE HOW U WOULD DISECT &BUILD a track from scratch that would be of gr8 interest to watch HIP-HOP, BY THE WAY, is my baby I look forward to watching that video
Doing gods work as usual mane! Great tips
Nice when do you do the live streams? How do we get on themm
Join the discord muchacho, I announce them in there 4 days in advance
this video just saved me so much heart ache lmao
❤ I mend hearts back together with my videos
I love the table analogy, I think everybody understood but you really hammered it home by telling us that our dog will get hurt by our bad drum patterns
As a hobbyist I believe that as an additional step is step 6 - sequence your drums to a metronome.
The dog is literally gonna be a "hot dog"
Very well explained 🤘🔥❤️👌
U a real funnyboi Saahas
@@NavieD quit lying to him 😭😭😭
That's great, let's all do the exact same drums and songs!
Oh come on
@@superswisher Sure but don't use this "come on" sample off beat.
Damn your videos get better, and more entertaining each day. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Saif! I am trying my best to improve what I do like all of us!
@@NavieD I'm trying to learn some production because I sing/rap a little. Really your videos have been some of the best for me to learn from
Never realised these are all the things I move past and improved....great video btw
Thank you Tolam!
6months ago when I 1st started I took a whole 2 months to learn wth is going on and wth I'm doing in FL. I watched producers make beats 4 a whole year 1st so I wasn't feeling too stupid😂
Did all that waiting and watching help?
A whole year because I couldn't afford a laptop**
Don't do that LOL great video bro 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you Regooooooo Letsgoooooooo
The explanation bit with the animation is gold
My next tutorial will be "how to make sick animations with dogs in them"
Wow this was incredibly helpful! Thank you
You're welcome KC!
