5 TIPS FOR MAKING A LO-FI BEAT IN BEATMAKER 3 + Tutorial

[@MusicTechnologist]

THE VIDEO IS BACK!! After several issues uploading this video to KZbin, it’s finally good to go! Enjoy! QoTD: What is the genre that you have the hardest time producing?

[@pressureflipin1992]

Believe it or not, drumless tracks I find are the hardest to make

[@EmpathiShift]

R&B, Lo-Fi. Very helpful tips, demonstration and a cool vibe. Thanks.

[@MusicTechnologist]

Thanks! Happy to help! 👍🏽

[@albertkinkujin4118]

Great video and excellent tips. I’m digging your work Jahrell!

[@MusicTechnologist]

🙏🏽 Appreciate that!

How do you dequantize on BM3?

[@MusicTechnologist]

There is a quantize button that you can turn off at the top, however if you recorded something with quantize on, you can not undo that. If you’re not sure if you’re going to like the quantized output before you record, you can always record w/o quantization and then just quantize after. Hopefully this helps! 👍🏽

Music Technologist thank

Dope

[@Markus-3030]

Hey man. Great videos, thank you for the information. Have you had a go at making synth / chill wave on BM3? Would love to see a video on that. 👌👍

[@MusicTechnologist]

Synthwave is an ocean I’ve wanted to explore for some time now. I think it’s time to explore...👀

[@bplain80]

What bass synth was that and the plugin? It was great

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

My favorite genre is RnB like that 90s Monica.

[@MusicTechnologist]

Dope!

[@nelly31091]

you've got yourself a sub! Thanks for your tips!

[@MusicTechnologist]

No problem! Welcome to the squad! ✊🏽

[@zacsewall7949]

thank you!

[@MusicTechnologist]

You're welcome!

On beat maker can you make the melody with a warped affect?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Great question! You definitely can, you just have to use a plugin to do it. Fly tape 2 does it, but I prefer using koalafx and dragging the “vibroflange” effect down just a bit.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

What’s the bass you recommend for lofi?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Great question. There’s lots of good stuff in the Moog Model D app, but Bassalicious 2 has some good options too! The goal is to get a smooth sounding bass, almost like a live bass guitar. Sometimes it’s nice to change it up though.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

@@MusicTechnologist That’s my goal for sure. I’m thinking of just buying a bass. I play guitar and I can play bass a little. I just love that authentic bass sound.

[@grandsuburbia4436]

@@bjamminsincebirth3494 if you own a bass, get an audio interface so you can plug it in and get a direct signal from your bass to your recording :)

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

@@grandsuburbia4436 Yeah I have the Motu M2. It’s pretty nice. I record my guitars through it all the time.

[@roshanatissera347]

That contrast was amazing! Something i never thought of. BTW any possibility of doing a walkthrough of how to recreate Drake's passionfruit?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Thanks! Appreciate the suggestion, but recreating other people’s songs is not really something I do. I might do some videos on how to recreate certain sounds though. 🤔

[@w____linestefanus2180]

how to assign koala sampler to akai mini knob ? if you dont mind , thanks before

[@MusicTechnologist]

This is a great question for someone in the community. Unfortunately, I don’t own an AKAI, so I’m afraid I’m not much help this time.

[@THEDARKSIDECUTHERE]

Why is there a video coming out as private?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Unfortunately, I’ve been having a lot of issues with videos having glitches in them after I release them, so I’ve been having to re-upload. Figuring out a way to keep it from happening.

[@Marcus-eu2fn]

What preset are you using for the bass in Bassalicious?

[@MusicTechnologist]

It’s called 101 Tape BASSed. It’s under the Bassalicious 2 pack, under 01 Bank A. 👍🏽

[@Marcus-eu2fn]

@@MusicTechnologist Thank you!

[@lebronsinclair8012]

Let’s see Kaytranada style house in BM3

[@MusicTechnologist]

Had never listened to Kaytranada until now, but his stuff sounds super dope! I’ll see what I can do!

[@TheTerasbetones]

Yessss please!! 👏🏾

[@huntrrams]

@@MusicTechnologist check out Peggy Gou, Jayda G. ,Toro Y Moi and Flying Lotus too!

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Can you use BM3 as a plug-in in Cubasis 3? I love BM3 for the drumming and samples but I like the workflow of Cubasis 3 more for mixing and laying tracks?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Unfortunately not

[@lebronsinclair8012]

You think an update will come soon to address crashing?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Yeah, I’ve been hearing folks say they’ve been experiencing issues. Unfortunately, I have no direct connection to Intua, so I don’t have any inside information about their plans to address bugs. I’ve had a few crashes myself, but as someone that worked previously in FL Studio, a few crashes is nothing new to me. Most of the time BM3 does a better job of backing up my unsaved session than FL ever did. Still wish the issues were ironed out though.

[@lebronsinclair8012]

@@MusicTechnologist reached out to them a few days ago. They definitely said update is coming but no firm date.

[@jjbing3]

I was wondering what happened to it. It was up yesterday 🤷🏾‍♂️
