[@ProdByFresh]

this man is the reason i am able to make hard trap beats, i havent uploaded in a while cuz i was busy working on my beats to make them better. i used to use looperman samples since i was shit at making beats, now i can create my own melodies. i hated watching hundreds of videos that said you need "music theory" to make melodies and drums. honestly, i trust the people who taught themselves how to produce more than i trust industry level producers. WE LOVE YOU DIRKEY

[@jonahartl8997]

That melody is clean🔥🔥 Your videos are so inspiring like literally you are my favourite youtuber atm i really learn a lot. One question: Could you explain how to keep the low end so clean with the kick and the 808 complimenting each other?(i know about sidechaining but just doesnt sit right properly)

[@Dirkey]

i made sure the 808 was noticeably lower than the kick & side chained it a lil bit

[@jonahartl8997]

Oh okay Thank you!

Love this video. This is genuinely so helpful for me, since I'm starting out new. Could you make a video where you use some plugins that are free. I wanna do stuff like this but I dont have the materials yet.

[@Dirkey]

bet!

[@BillGlutesMusic]

I like your content bro 💪

[@lynxbeatzz]

First step:buy omnisphere 😢

[@producerBeezy]

I mean if u limit yourself you're not gonna do any shit anyway what i'm tryna say is you don't have to buy omnisphere to make beats that's some BULLSHIT look for free plugins i will prefer you to use SynthMaster2 Player i think it's on fl so u don't have to download or buy

[@teoz8109]

*proceed to crack omnisphere*

Nah i aint crying, i just have a beat in my eye

[@livenactivbeatz341]

I wanted to if you would drop more information about cutting the frequencies out so your 808 punch harder in automaton, and do you render your clips to audio before or after you put your effects on them? Thank you for dropping these 💎💎📈💯

[@Dirkey]

preferably before adding effects. watch my recent mixing class for more info on mixing!

[@GlizzyGladiatorOfficial]

Hey dirkey, i have in issue with my 808 where it sounds fine without a melody, but after i layer the 808 and the melody, it seems that the melody drowns out the 808. i tried adding distortion, eqing the low fq's from the melody out so it dosent clash with the 808s, and even after i mix my beats i still cant hear anything. when i started making beats, i could hear the 808 perfectly fine over the melody, but randomly one day, i couldnt hear it that well, idk why. ive tried everything, i reset fl studio, i installed fl on a bunch of other computers in my house and none of them had the same problem. do you think you know the answer to why fl is doing this? is so it would really help me out, this has been happening for 2 months and i havent produced since then cuz this issue is pissing me off. thank you in advance

[@colewolfzmusic]

fire as always I started making beats not long time ago but one fundamental thing is making my own melodies one question what shortcut you used at 1:20

[@Dirkey]

ctrl/cmd + L

[@colewolfzmusic]

@@Dirkey thanks 🌟

[@ECPCOFFICIAL]

W Dirkey

[@prodbymyth]

Dirkey, i have a question. I saw you match the 808 with the chord progression but you left the kick on C. Why didnt you match the 808? I will be really happy if you answer me. Fire beat as always🔥

[@Dirkey]

i always want my kicks to have the same pitch, so i leave em on the same note

[@D-flow_Demp]

[@ProdByAV_YT]

What’s your grid size when making hi hat rolls like that. I always try to lengthen them out to that size to make it easier for me to do my rolls but I can never get it right. I’m wondering is it a specific length or snap to grid 😭🙏🏾.
