One invariable lesson I've learnt from Navie is simplicity & intentionality 👌.. Navie's use of textures to create these super distinctive melodies is unmatched 🔥🔥💯.. Simplicity really is the ultimate sophistication. Thank you Navie! 🙌

[@NavieD]

"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak."

[@KRISTIJAN63]

using halftime with turned down mixlevel can really be a gamechanger. it also creates a more complicated melody and gives the melody more movement

[@NavieD]

It's definitely a quick and great way of adding more into your beat without having to do much

[@jokmenen_]

How is halftime different from grossbeat exactly?

[@PRODBYS1LENT]

@@jokmenen_ halftime is just a more in-depth version of a single gross beat preset. Gross beat only has a 1/2 speed preset but halftime has multiple settings such as 4x and 1.5x and you can adjust it more to fit your melody. Halftime also sounds a bit better in my opinion but gross beat works fine

[@PRODBYS1LENT]

@@jokmenen_ halftime has a free demo so u can see for yourself

[@freeeze2646]

It's unbelievable for me how your channel hasn't hit 100k yet. You're one of, if not the best beatmaking channels out there! Much love from Germany! ✌🏼

[@CraigsCuts]

Navie has become one of my top 3 to watch on KZbin . Simon servida is also a great person to watch to learn

[@thefinstasis]

Your trap beats still sound like the boombap producer’s take on trap beats, your musical roots are apparent

[@thefinstasis]

Just something about the way your drums are

[@NavieD]

ok

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

Isn't that a good thing? His beats still fit the genre, but have a personal touch unlike the thousands of generic type beat channels on KZbin Also, it's harder to replicate someone's sound when they have diverse roots

[@thefinstasis]

@@Sergio-nb4hj it is not a bad thing, it just has something to do with tastes. Even though Navie D is a great teacher and I like the way his beats sound, I highly doubt that those beats land placements with trap artists. It's fine to have a niche and stay true to your roots, whether you are a boombap producer or a trap producer, that's all I am saying

[@Phosphor_Sco]

@@thefinstasis trap is such a vast sub genre thats stretched over decades that there's no typical way, TI to Playboi Carti to three six mafia... all predominantly trap

[@kidchronicbeats]

Last beat is the tuffest

I super appreciate you giving this knowledge out for anyone wanting to learn this. I also really connect with your teaching style. I'm still using LMMS and Audacity to make beats, so all the plugins don't apply to me, but I still learn a lot of music theory from your vids. Thank you 🔥🔥👊 PS. Have you ever tried making a beat on free software like LMMS and Audacity? I'd love to see a video of you comparing things you miss having/are more difficult or restricting about this software vs your typical software

[@weirdochainz927]

I know a website where there is fl studio for free and bunch of other saws and plug-ins if you want to

[@rc6101]

bro you can literally get cracked fl20 if you search a bit

[@MvnStn]

You know you're a beast when you have drum sounds that don't need a mixer track. Ughhhhh! 💥🔥💥 Get it, Navie!!

[@MvnStn]

Also, not sure what to call it, but that last style is soooo in my lane. Best beat out of the 3, imo!

[@NavieD]

I do love that beat too. Do you find yourself processing your drums a lot?

[@MvnStn]

@@NavieD snares, hats, and other percs usually have specific effects such as reverb and compression. I find it far and few between coming across a perfectly good as is snare or hat, for example. I dread to say this, but I even put effects on sounds from your kit! 😬😬 oh lawd! Absolutely love what you do for this community ❤ 👏

[@manfreddawg]

You're A1 since day 1

[@onryo4142]

Your sound selection is always so on point Can you write in the video description which sounds you used for the beats in your videos?

[@NavieD]

Hahah c'mon now. Once you start getting placements, it will be you that has earned it

[@benjaminmangum]

I'd categorize the last beat as DLE trap or shadow trap. A lot of the underground scene in my city makes a combo of the three styles presented here, I always thought that they were not all that unique. I guess Night Lovell, Kellbender, BONES, Fifty Grand, etc. were part of the collective rap consciousness by now. If anyone is interested, take the drums from beat number two, the melodic rhythms of one, and the sound selection of three and you'll get what a lot of producers from Minnesota are exploring currently.

[@NavieD]

Thank you for sharing Bennie! I love Minnesota music, shout out to Psymun and Corbin

[@808wrldwide2]

Do you know any producers from Minnesota? I’m from there and am interested in workin w their sound

[@studboy711]

Why do u use the trip six in ur logo just curious?

[@ShannonParkes]

Style 2!!!!!!!!!!

[@Weisior]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="540">9:00</a> How this style should be called? Maybe deep trap (like a well), dark trap - yeah kinda fits naturally, nocturnal trap? (since its so lowfeq), death trap? (I imagine it being more dubsteppy lol), lowfreq trap? (self explanatory too), nu-trap? (need to throw some metal guitar in), new trap? (meh, it somehow doesnt sound too "fresh")

[@nathanbryers]

What is a ‘beat?’ In terms of selling beats… what would be in the package? Would it be a 4bar loop? Or would you put verse chorus verse structure? What is expected?

[@timothymaxheaux]

That last beat type should be called "the best kind of trap beat one can make."

[@williamsbasil9454]

Side chaining is your friend . Use parametric eq 2 + fruity peak controller to only duck a certain range of frequencies in the target sound.
