I always distort the 808s in parallel, send the original and blend the distorted to a bus channel where I EQ it. A 60Hz boost and 200-300 Hz cut with a low cut at 25Hz. This pretty much makes for a solid 808. It’s much easier though if you start out with a good 808 sample that properly balanced.

[@tryctan2399]

quick tip: if you do sounddesign you can do multiple layer for your sub and basses. i always use at least a highend, midrange, bass and sub. you can now distort any layer as much as you want without huting the other frequencies BUT BE AWARE there might be some polarity problems if you don't take care well of your mix and sounddesign

[@NavieD]

👌

[@SpyderBlackOfficial]

Can a polarity flip help with a plugin?

[@ravisa9157]

i was really having problems with the 808s thanks man

[@Dubious_Dubs]

Haha, "foibles" Great video again Navi ❣

[@MikeMulahMusic]

I use Camel Crusher, mainly the British Clean preset, my 808s always slap🔥. The 808 punches without the high end distortion sound, and the compressor if you turn it up will bring the high end distortion out.

[@JahLoveBeatsOfc]

Great bro !

[@NavieD]

Thank you Jah

[@8teenOfficial]

[@BeatsByZ3P0]

You can manipulate each frequency band individually in maximus as well but in some cases it's definitely more beneficial to do it in parallel or manually as you demonstrated

[@NavieD]

🙏🙏

[@prodtillr]

4:32 how do you make it so the low frequency and high frequency go to their respective sends?

[@st3vomusic]

Love you navie have to point out a few errors. Distortion on 808s is what makes good 808s, an 808 itself is a distorted sine wave. I think this video only applies to a very select few sub genres of trap beats so for musicians looking at all genres this is bad advice. Distortion makes everything better if you learn how to use it. Never avoid anything in beat making, even mistiming something can make a song better

[@st3vomusic]

High end in a bass sound is not a bad thing it’s all bout mixing the sound well with the other sounds

[@NavieD]

The point I was making is that distorting a sin wave, and moving it away from a perfect sin shape, has an effect on how much low end it generates. And that people should be aware of this.

[@st3vomusic]

@@NavieD Video was good overall bro, I have just been making a lot of house music recently and I have been noticing the difference in the way 808s are used. In trap sub bass is the main goal with 808s, where as trap music is more driven by moog style sub bass. Learned a lot from you over the years and I have massive respect for you, apologies if it came across snarky

[@thetylersherman]

IMO Sosig always sounds best at about 3-8% as a slightly gritty gain boost... making the sosig too angry tends to muck things up a bit. Good looking out Navie.

[@djsunnysideup23]

so just put Spaz on everything! got it!

[@NavieD]

[@campar1043]

what about a hi pass filter on the parrallel 808 if you dont have a frequency splitter and a lo pass filter on the original?

[@AR4BMoney]

PLS HELP: Are there settings that can be adjusted so that an 808 sample changes pitch according to where it is placed on the piano roll, without the length of the sample changing? In other words, so that my 808s on higher notes ring out as long as the ones that are on lower ones. (Without using the stretch Mode, the 808 sounds in stretch Mode like 🤮) When i listen to Tracks from lil baby or someone else, the 808 always has the same length, even if its played at first at c5 and then on a5

[@dj_instruments937]

Someone tell FL we need visual waveforms in the X and Y mods! Volume and pitch also. So much more they could do in upgrades to be intuitive...

[@DXTCHBEATS]

Choosing the right 808 at the first place can save you a great amount of frustration.

[@NavieD]

This is true

[@graverobshawty]

What tips do you guys use for finding good 808 samples that match your beat?

@@graverobshawty just go by ear, always trust your instincts. If it sounds good then it’s good.

[@VULCAN1135]

What if I want my 808 to be felt in the 400hz(300hz maybe) to 6000hz range? I was watching some mixing tutorials and the speaker said most audio devices output that range most significantly, not all speakers and headphones of course, but I have been trying to keep that in mind. I still have more tutorials to watch from him but recently I have been trying to make my 808s higher frequency. Any advice?

[@sknky9774]

Its your decision if you want to have your 808 distorted or clean. Just keep in mind that distorted 808 take more space in the spectrum than the clean one. For example if the beat is busy and has a lot of melodic instrumentation i would use clean 808. If the beat is minimal and you need to fill the empty spaces i would use distorted ones. At the end it depends on your taste and style:)

OKAY I NEED BEATMAKING HELP I've been trying to find out how to turn one note from a sample into an instrument for ages now, and I'm starting to think its impossible. I've watched every video under the sun on this, and I now know how to get the note onto a piano roll, but Inow I don't know how to lengthen the note to be able to play it like an instrument with longer and shorter notes all in the same piano roll. I want the note to play as long as my fingers on the key, and if not, just how to make a note longer than it originally is. CAN ANYONE HELP? If your open to helping and need more clarity just let me know. Any guidance would be helpful! Thank you!
