    A good tip to fill low mid that i use is: 1.duplicate a synth or a pad
    2. Add half time and play with the ‘release’ and ‘speed’ setting to give it a fitting rhythm
    3. Eq everything but from 250hz -550hz or so
    4. Adjust volume to make it sit
    5. Do some stereo imaging to give it more depth

    Great stuff, Navie! Consistently. Would you have any advice on call backs and just overall composing?
    I struggle with "telling a story", if you will. I should probably admit that most of my stuff isn't created with lyrics in mind. (Not to say it can't be.. lol) So, using bridges, key changes, and the like are difficult to formulate or conceptualize for me. I'm talking hip hop, but, (and probably more relevantly) other genres apply, obviously.
    Much respect to you, and thanks for the entire package that you deliver on YT and beyond. cheers!

    hay loved ur vid man, but i have one comment in 10:43 about the stock plug-ins isn't just more about how u pick ur sounds from these stock plugins than just every stock plugin isn't suitable for beat making ? surely if u puck the right sound with the right fx-s it will always sound right .
    I kinda get what u on with these plugins r more suitable for dance music but still u can always make any sound work with ur beat if u just pick the right one doesn't matter the plug in

    • @sideshow4463
      @sideshow4463 Před 4 dny

    Deadass, just with the thumbnail alone you can tell that the channel rack is going thru hell. 💀 not going to watch the video cause I’m lazy but for starters, the thumbnail is spot on. I stopped using the channel rack like that due to how much more flexible you can be if you split different sounds, samples, etc into different channels n stuff. They are pretty good for looping samples and tho if u mess with the time knob and cut it em through those windows. But that’s just my process or what was due to my laptop shitting the bed :P definitely helped me organize with mixing a lot better that shit used to be all over the place

    Not an expert on music, just a fan. The second beat I think should feel bigger somehow. I feel like it could knock harder if different elements were added one at a time, so as you're listening the beat gets filled in to its final form if that makes sense.

    There is another problem with the last beat. It has the same main sample as a famous Busta Rhymes song. People who know that song automatically compare those productions and as one is a famous producer with decades of experience making beats for Tupac, Snoop, Method Man and Redman amongst others, it is obviously difficult or even almost impossible to be on the same level.
