@@NavieD Oh no. I never worked with him but im speaking of the range of various artists hes worked with. From Jay Z to Missy to Aaliyah to Timberlake to J Cole and the list goes on
With your channel, there is no excuse for not getting better at making beats. I can see you teaching Music Production at a University. I'm super thankful that you're working at CZcams University tho. Good work Navie D!
My personal favourite Timbaland technique is using multiple hihats: usually one very straight forward one in the middle in 1/4 or 1/8 notes providing a steady pattern, and then panned hats creatiny interesting accents around the steady beat in a polyrhytmic manner. Especially prominent in the earlier Timbo stuff! But also easily applicable to many different styles, consider for example Scott Storch type beats.
Totally different sounds; premiers beats go from 88 bpm to like 95 for an example but Tim is more 115 to 125 bpm; different tempos for different sounds ya know
@@treyvonnerobinson different tempos for sure. I was referring to the “sample chopping technique” specifically. I personally believe that Preemo masterminded that technique in the early to mid 90’s using short clips and space in his beats. That almost exclusively was an approach for majority of his beats. Timbo’s style isn’t built around chopping samples though he does it in the mix with live instrumentation, synth and the stop & go + bounce programming. Definitely different styles obviously…! But it’s the production technique of chopping short sample clips that came from Preemo originally, prior to Timbo’s appearance on the scene.
I appreciate each of your videos. They're informative, down to earth and (that's special) are not 'hip-hop tutorial corny', if that makes sense. Thank you. Even when I know a concept, you're stilll able to make me think of it in a different way.
@@NavieD That would be interesting, and might I add that you may want to include the differences between drift and regular Phonk. Highly misunderstood, I believe. lol Cheers.
I've been making beats 20 years, so I'm jaded and find most neat producer channels silly and useless. You'd channel is one of the few where I truly feel i learn something new , every time. So shout out fir that!
Oooo! A nice early drop on the video. Nothing like clocking in to work to immediately see a Navie D vid pop up! I know there are going to be gems in this one. Thank you my friend!
@@NavieD My pleasure! That first tip for not always needing to create a perfectly cohesive sample chop was a full on epiphany! Lol. You're right, it massively goes against my initial instinct, but have to learn to be comfortable with it. I think that'll be the breakthrough I need for this challenge. You know I suck at sampling. 😅🤣 Let's hope this helps.
Timbaland was just talking about this a week ago, when he went live.. Master your craft, and if you dont feel it; than you in the wrong profession. Thank you for posting this sir, from profession to profession.
I wanted to do the same with the samples where there's space in between a couple weeks ago, but I'm not advanced enough to make it sound good, so I didn't proceed with it. Now I will.
A very analytical approach to music. Not everyone's brain works that way, but clearly some people are finding this style of instruction useful. I would recommend listening to Timbo, Madlib, Preimo, or Pete Rock, to find your inspiration...but whatever works for you. I will say that a hole doesn't always need filling and a rest, or space, in music is not 'nothing'. it's actually more something than the sound bc it's noticed and sound of the beat sound lulls you. A rest pulls you out of the hypnosis bc it's unusual...
100% badman. So glad I found this channel! Now hitting the subscribe button - this is an incredible video man! Off topic, are you using actual weights 🏋🏽♂️ or bodyweight for training 💪🏽
😬😬😁😁🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Timbaland hands down is one of my favorites it was actually listening to his productions that inspired me to start creating music. I love his percussion work, weird sounds, and crazy rhythms he wasn’t afraid to be creative and his sound was so different. Great video!
Probably the different rhythms all going on at once and weird sounds I would sometimes use in my productions. I haven’t tried the one shot sample technique yet as I am still learning to sample..but it’s good to know these techniques to apply to my own music great series
Hey Navie, can you reveal the second sample, the classical with the ludacris acapella? can't get it out of my head, nice flip. (i respect if you wanna keep the secret of course)
Is it just me or does Timbaland's style of sample use kinda feel like flowing down from how DJ Premier used samples sometimes? Even tho their styles of beats are pretty different overall
Ah, Serato. That was the other one I had my eye on. I gotta start spending money on my music software/hardware. haha Makes sense now why Timbo had all those percussive elements in his beats. To hide the ugly silent gaps you create when one shot sampling.. Genius! Man, Navie, you know how to inspire every Tuesday! Cheers!
I’m new to production, I love these vids but it’s hard to understand some of the things because I’m on Logic Pro x. This is not a diss on you because I enjoys all your vids!!
oh, is that not how people normally sample? ...i usually use chops as rythmic elements. good vid, everything i wanted to hear again. Can you make a tutorial on drum bus compression please.
@@NavieD Yeah the way he creates his own loops and chop them up is unreal!! like this one for Nas: czcams.com/video/Z1pxY6NhhVk/video.html Now? It's like he's not as active as before. More 'trap' sounding track, still this Khalil touch but not really my cup of tea ... His Native Instrument expansion is pretty cool! some demo songs here, if you want to listen... www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/expansions/artist-expansion-dj-khalil/ But I'm really waiting for you to include Kahlil in this series, it's gonna be a really tough one..! ;)
Shout-Out to Apollo Brown, 1 of the talented individuals to ever dig-in in the crates. Most definately useful clip, I love all the techniques, I'm not going to struggle anymore, I've always used the automation clip to manipulate a sample envelope, of which I now find a hassle since I revised the first technique you've just taught, what stood out for me from that was how you "unsent" the side-chaining mixer track to the master channel, ahhhh! Amazing D! Thank you for keeping the wonderful tricks coming in, I'm really learning a lot from this channel. Navie D , please hook us up with how does Apollo Brown create thick abundant Bass-lines. #Navie_D
I wish more producer's would make their own bollywood strings and indian type sounds though, instead of sampling them from someone else. It's more than possible with strings and other sounds from synthesizers. More people should start creating their own sounds, I'm telling you it makes you so much more skilled and know a shit ton about synthesis...SBN RESONATE
Timbaland is the master of having space in his beats. Thats why he was very good to work with.
Is this from personal experience?
@@NavieD Oh no. I never worked with him but im speaking of the range of various artists hes worked with. From Jay Z to Missy to Aaliyah to Timberlake to J Cole and the list goes on
@@NavieD I was gonna ask the same thing😂😂
@@NavieD Love your videos btw bro, this producers' techniques series is dope as fuck too💯💯💯
@@NavieD 😭😂
This one took a loooooong time to make. Finding the right sample was probably the most time consuming part
Is this a new camera you used in this video? It looks awesome!
We appreciate it for sure! 🙏
Navie back with the gems
Tracklib has a playlist of timbaland type samples !
Appreciate it bro!!!💯💯💯
I copped Timbaland's masterclass and these are exactly the same techniques he use. Navie always dropping them gems like a G.O.A.T
Ohh interesting. Did he explicitly explain it similar to how I did?
@@NavieD yep.
Was it worth it? Did you learn a lot from it? I was thinking about getting it too.
@@LexaRaeG00DSKY I wouldn't say it's course a beginner should get but if you're on the intermediate level go for it.
@@hyt8997 I’m pretty new, maybe I should wait til I get more experience.
Double-respect for making this video 8:08 long.
u c wat i did
@@NavieD ya🔥🔥🔥
Could never forget the impact by pony for me. I just couldn’t believe, what I heard there was possible to compose. unimaginable
I remember listening to that song as a kid. It was a wild beat, and it still is
With your channel, there is no excuse for not getting better at making beats.
I can see you teaching Music Production at a University.
I'm super thankful that you're working at CZcams University tho. Good work Navie D!
Hahah thank you Wayne! I am very thankful for all of the people like yourself who take beatmaking seriously

Yes one of my fav techniques by him .... Aaliyah Hot Like Fire (original) is a good example
Yeah it's a great way to get your build your beat for sure
I'm a simple guy, i see Navie D posts a video, and I click like before even watching it because I know it's going to be super resourceful.
😘 thank you Bijon
I think everyone clicks before watching they first then they watch
@@DafterHindi He said clicks like tho loll
I used to not like Timbo beats BUT I had to mature. Dude is a production mastermind and I had to admit that. Very unique. One of my favorites.
Is there a beat of his that is your fav now?
@@NavieD Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake.
Awesome video. Video production was on point and the attention to detail on breaking down Timbo's music was excellent!
Thank you Big Nick!
Timbaland is a genius... That choppy sample usage (with space) really comes from DJ Premier though.
Not the way that Tim does it lol

Hahah thanks man. That's a new phrase, hip hop tutorial corny hahah
Could you do a 4 techniques DJ Smokey uses in his beats? Idk if he’s “high level” enough for a vid but he’s one of my favorite producers
I wanna do a general phonk tutorial so hopefully that will cover some the ideas
@@NavieD That would be interesting, and might I add that you may want to include the differences between drift and regular Phonk. Highly misunderstood, I believe. lol Cheers.

GReat Tutorial - I learned so much! Thx Navie!
I swear people do not give Ludacris the props if he fully deserved,,😭 do you hear his flow 🔥
It is pretty buckwild
3:20 The reason why is. Back in the day, samplers didn't have much sampling time. So we had to make due with the time we had to make a banger.
True. SP's had like 12 seconds of sampling time or something hey?
@@NavieD sp1200 10 seconds. Before was the sp12 with just only 5 seconds 😮
This is the best youtube channel to help me with my beats.... Thank you🔥
We need more content like this 🔥🔥🔥
This Timbaland video is 8:08mins long which is awesome
I am dropping secret hints all over the place
Awesome video as always Navie. You upload so frequentely! I have so much saved for later ughh, i guess i have lot to watch when vacation starts 😎
Finally someone covers timbo technique ....
long awaited! one of my favs!! Thanks for this

Wow! You can’t mention Timbaland without the Neptunes! They are very similar and come from that VA camp. Good video!!
Neptunes/Pharrell is also on my list
Pharrell is Timbaland cousin
Keep going to upload videos like that !
Your videos are amazing bro 🙌
Thank you Lane! That's very kind of you
Respect 75k bro ! Always with dope videos !
DDB! Thank you very much. Next up is the big 100K!
@@NavieD Really soon my bro !!
Nice video!! You gotta love producers like Timbo and The Neptunes because their beats say so much with so little 💯🔥
The day timbo used a crying baby in are u that somebody is the day he was cemented as a legens
Hahah I also enjoyed his use of Godzilla in one of his songs with Genuwine
youre a life saver
thanks.
can you do a video like this specifically on the song js-love angel that he produced and wrote.. his drum bounce was crazy
Amazing video .. new subscriber in ur channel right here
This the one!!!!
☝
the one
Another great share.👍 👍
I got to admit, this had the bounce of Tim, but it was a more updated look. Sounds good 👌
The information translated #Priceless
Glad it makes sense dude!
Oh yeah this is a certified hood classic 🔥👀

Nice video ! 🔥👌
Thank you my friend

Make sure to get jiggy with the percussion to help it work!
@@NavieD Yes, that was what I missed, I suppose. Thank you, Navie. As usual, useful content.
thank you Navie :)
Thank you for watching Joaco!
Good day. Nice video. Can i ask - make video about Large Professor ?
Bless
🙏
People need to fine there own way. But you help them understand what style they can make. Plus who and what to produce. So keep up the good work
ok
everyone has being inspired from another one no matter who they are to find they own style

Thanks! It's unfortunately not released, just sitting on my hard drive
Would love to see an overview on the Justin Timberlake Cry Me a River beat. I love that song 20 years later and it never gets old.
Hey Navie, can you reveal the second sample, the classical with the ludacris acapella? can't get it out of my head, nice flip. (i respect if you wanna keep the secret of course)
Damn you produced "underground airplay"?! That song is 🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful thumbnail 👏👏
Thank you Base!
Good work keep it up .. next should be Dre
Is it just me or does Timbaland's style of sample use kinda feel like flowing down from how DJ Premier used samples sometimes? Even tho their styles of beats are pretty different overall
That's a great point! They both can have a very jarring, disassociated approach to building their loops from samples
Not really to me
hi navie thanks for the knowledge! what are your timbaland favourite beats?
Oops Oh My, We Need A Resolution, Pony off the top of my head. How about yo?
What’s the first sound you used, I use fl studio
Never heard of him before, but damn... he good
u real funny
This is dope brother
Thank you Ferris my friend

No worries! I try my best to make all of this info translate across all DAWs
Ludacris Acapella placed on wrong beat other than that, great video as always
