A behind the scenes view of how I make real R&B beats from scratch. Instagram: / melotheproducer Facebook: / melowriterproducer Join this channel to learn chords and R&B production: / @melotheproducer
My Lord......Sheesh! This is mean as usual! I have to learn those bass ride and vibes you be doing. Neo Soul/ R&B at its finest and that chord progression man! Blessings!
I appreciate it brother! If you don't do this already, try setting your bass to monophonic (Or set the polyphony to 1 - Same thing) so every note you play cuts the last note off. You might already be doing this, but if not, it'll go a long way. Thanks again bro. 🙏🏽✊🏽
I'm just watching the sun go down while vibing to your music... a great way to enjoy the evening after a hard working day. Thanks for keeping real R&B alive bro. Keep up the great work!! 🔥🎶🎵🫡
I really appreciate it bro. It really means a lot. 🙏🏾✊🏾 (If the notifications aren't coming to your phone, make sure you click the bell and turn on all notifications.)
Dang, bass lines are your specialty! May I ask what is your go to bass sound? Also, thinking about getting a Maschine MK3, in your opinion, is it still relevant? It’s kind of old right?
I appreciate it brother! I find myself using 808 Studio II for synth bass in most cases. There's a preset called "Tory" that's a great starting point. I think the Maschine MK3 is still very relevant - don't think you can go wrong with it. (No matter how old it gets, you can always add new sounds.) Thanks again bro. 🙏🏽✊🏽
Thank you! I'd say to start with the root note and experiment with octaves. Remember that no matter what you do, always establish and l maintain the root note because that's the foundation. Every once in a while, come out of pocket and play the bass as a lead, but always come back to the root. Thanks again and hope this helps. 🙏🏾✊🏾
I appreciate it bro. My schedule's gotten a little busy, so I've put the 1 on 1 sessions on hold for now. Are you referring to the bass patches/presets? Thanks again bro. 🙏🏾✊🏾
@@melotheproducer Thanks for answering, nice the hear things are in movement for you. Yep the patches, tried trilian presets and also one of the VST’s you used in the ”only free VST’s video” But nothing compares, seems like there’s something vital I’m missing.
HEY REALLY VIDEOS..INSPIRE.... BUT MAYBE DO A VIDEO ON THE PLUGINS AND SOUND ON WHAT YOUR USING AND WHAT THEY ARE FOR R&B ...AND WHAT HARD AUDIO HARDWARE U R USING WITH WITH THESE SOUNDS... NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DO THAT .. PEOPLE THAT NEW TO THE MUSIC JUST MIGHT DON'T KNOW.... THANKS... SORRY FOR ALL THE CAPS.. I'M JUST LAZY LOL
Thanks bro. I usually show the VST plugins and sounds in the videos, but here's a video specifically about how I select my sounds: czcams.com/video/Ik1U8gPj-U8/video.html I don't use any audio hardware to make my beats in most of these videos-Just using the VST instruments shown on the screen. (No problem bro 😂) 🙏🏽✊🏽
I started producing in 2002 and found out who he was in 2008 (maybe 2007). But he was definitely one of many influences before I even heard of him. Warryn Campbell, Tim and Bob, Rodney Jerkins, Shep Crawford, The Underdogs, Babyface, Jazzy Pha, Quincy Jones, Jermaine Dupri, Stevie Wonder, Brian McKnight - Man I could go on all day lol. A lot of newer producers don't mind being a clone of other producers, but I take a lot of pride in being unique, while still allowing my sound to be a tribute to those greats who influenced me. But thanks - That's definitely a compliment lol. 🙏🏽✊🏽

@@melotheproducer Thanks bro!
hi melo! huge fan, I love your basslines, do you have any tips on how to write catchy bass lines?

Years behind just practicing for the vibes.
You got it fam. If it feels good, that'll come across to the listeners. 🙏🏾✊🏾
Hi Melo! Huge fan, i love your bass lines. Do you have any tips for when it comes to writing bass lines?
Oh and also don't underestimate the power of "ghost notes"... Those extra notes before the main notes.
@@melotheproducer thankyou appreciate it fr 🫶
Niiice man, I've tried recreating those bass sounds but just seem to get lost.
Also, do you still offer 1 on 1 sessions? I'd love to learn from you.
