3 Reasons Why Your Drums Might Suck

[@NavieD]

How do you like the new set up?

[@vitthalgaur3382]

do you have have old school drums pack I have made my own but I want more sounds

[@thisiskingmac09]

Keep it I like it a lot bette

I like the shirt. It's tropical looking

[@thekattemax]

[@prodbylouisg2323]

That's nice mate !

[@radiobe4179]

I love the parallel processing tip. I've sometimes made it instinctively, then stopped doing thinking that that was probably a wrong decision. Didnt know bout transient shapers tho. Awesome that you share your hard earned knowledge, man.

[@NavieD]

Interesting that you stopped doing it. Did it help your beats?

[@radiobe4179]

@@NavieD It was a confidence thing. My mix process was very misguided, in some aspects, at the time I started doing it. So I blamed the idea of having parallel processing on the drums and stopped doing it. I will definitely be trying this out today. I always feel this way about the vids, by the way :P I make, like, 3 beats everytime I learn something from your channel, just to "make your techniques mine".

[@THRSHR]

These analogies get me every time 😂 Thanks for the tips Navie!

[@staticlord1]

Every time i watch one of your videos i learn something mind blowing that actually makes a solid difference in how i think about my production. Love it man keep it up!

[@Fr3ud]

Thanks for the tips man, it’s like you knew what I needed to improve on rn lol

[@piowave4076]

I also found that using the sampler in FL to mess with the attack, release etc is a great way to fill intricate pockets.

[@radiobe4179]

I always find it humorous when "literary" words like feeble and conundrum are said in an environment of speech in which casualty is highly expected 😂 I like words that have highly specific meanings, and they give a nice effect to speech when used properly

Your tutorials have helped so much. You always speak in a clear and understandable way, and give great advice and tips. Keep it up man, I love your content.

[@prodbylouisg2323]

Never known about this man, just learn something big, haven't seen that " approach " of this problem. If I had to give two advices for drums from my experience, I would say first of all don't overthink it, sometimes less is better. And 2nd don't forget to play with the velocity 🥁

[@NavieD]

👌 I hope these new tips help out young Louis

[@red0ctane19]

Yeah this man is always dropping knowledge! I know Navie has helped me tremendously, so hope the same goes for you.

[@Pawl4k]

playing with panning of some percs can help too

[@Gorguruga]

Another brilliant video man, I just watched a few of them back to back. Thanks for this brilliant channel, it's one of the best ever imo!

Well thank you Gorguruga!

[@kennettajackson767]

Nice set up! and great video as well very informative..I need to start putting some focus towards my mixing now I usually shy away from it and just worry about my arrangements and composition lol I haven’t even watched your mixing section yet on the better beatmaker just keep rewatching the arrangement and loop parts lol but it’s time to face my fears now lol 😂

[@ll.khunou]

I've been meaning to ask if the intro song was made by you? (The Joey BadA$$ song)

[@MvnStn]

I'm believe every intro beat is the beat he uses for the video, so they're different every time.

[@NavieD]

Yeah I produced a few songs for him

[@simcard940]

Yeah I also wanted you in 1999

[@SFFireSoul]

Hey Navie, love your videos, I've learned a lot from them and I feel that your videos have helped me to improve my music and sounds. I'm having an issue right now though where when I listen to my songs on my computer either through FL or in a media player, they sound fine; but when I play the same files in my car the hats come out sounding like lasers. If it was intentional I wouldn't mind, it does kind of sound cool. I don't want them to sound like lasers though. Do you have any thoughts on why this might be happening?

[@tbrizOfficial]

Mixes sound different on different speaker systems. Try doing a mix then listen on laptop speakers, studio monitors, headphones, and your car. They will all sound a bit different because of the system. In your case, unless your car sound system is completely wrecked, you may have exposed an issue in your mix. It could be the level, EQ, or something else on your hats. Play around and figure out what it is and then going forward you'll have that learning experience to take with you going forward. Good luck 👍

[@SFFireSoul]

@@tbrizOfficial Thanks for the advice. I play it through bluetooth to FM, and I'm pretty sure that's the main reason. If I turn the volume down from the phone it sounds normal. Anything in the orange though it starts chirping. I'll try playing with the EQ or something. Thanks again.

[@Aywusgod]

@@SFFireSoul Make sure you check how your mix sounds in Mono before you finish your project.

[@SFFireSoul]

@@Aywusgod Thank you! I'll try that
