How to Defeat Beat Block

[@Spasciz]

The intro to this is one of the funniest things I’ve seen and heard in music this year 😂😂😂

[@BoloDaProducer]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥

[@DAWARNIN]

This beat sounds like a kindergarten daycare center lol

[@darrylwilliams6888]

I was like "bru, dead ass?" and started laughing . Caught me clean off guard lol.

[@darrylwilliams6888]

I went thru beat block earlier this year. What i used to do to combat it was a few things. 1 I'd get with my boys and just do somethingbof a group session..only 2 of us made beats but the input from our other boys who have a genuine live for music would kind of break that. If i couldnt get up with my boys id would do 15min beat drills where I'd pick 7 sounds and getbit in. This year i had to switch it up because i moved to a new city and the 15min drills werent giving me what i need so i switched my process. Instead of starting with my melody i started with my drums. At first my rhythm was basic af but it got better with time..because i was literally doing this for my first beatbof the day.

Bruh in tears 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Sumurachi317]

Probably a crazy take, but when there’s been times where I’ve experienced beat block and once I listen to you cook up or the beat reviews I instantly get inspired and usually bang out till I hit that wall again .. preciate your work brotha💯

[@BoloDaProducer]

Thanks! Glad I could help!

[@TYBO-xl1xz]

[@BoloDaProducer]

Duet!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ladyduet]

@@BoloDaProducer Bolooooo‼️🤩😍🤩

[@Will313J]

The intro is hilarious and I may not ever be able to shake that out of my head.

[@dpmusic21]

I try a few things whenever i have beat block.... 1. Buy new sounds/new instruments or VSTs - i find that often times we need a new sound that we haven't heard before to get some creative juices flowing. You might hear a new sound you didn't have that sparks an idea 2. Collaborate with somebody. - i think people gotta not be afraid to collaborate sometimes. See if you can get somebody to play something over your tracks or try out new ideas that you wouldn't usually do on your own. 💯💯

[@cryptogod601]

Ur soo righht that explains me alot🎉

[@bestkoreanjesus]

First

[@BoloDaProducer]

🔥

[@thomson01]

When I’m going through a beat block I either try to inspire myself by listening to other people’s music, or I try to get out of my comfort zone by experimenting with different music genres. And if this doesn’t work I just simply take a break from beat making to clear my mind.

[@buttoncreationz]

Good info Sir!!

[@celmbeats]

Us producers are always in our heads. We have to remember we make these beats for artists. That example of the artist liking a beat you didn't like can help with confidence and get things flowing again. Because when you raise the bar, it can lower your confidence, until your confidence catches up to your new bar.

[@kingcheflos602]

Hilarious!!! 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but so true 💯✊🏾

[@BoloDaProducer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@A1MadeTheBeat]

Been going thru beat block for a minute, nothing is working. I think it might be time to go back to DJing exclusively for a little bit.

[@highheatbeats2091]

I'm hollerin at that beat!

[@BoloDaProducer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@60beatsCrimeFamilyEnt]

if sounds got expansion packs for the mpc Ima run it uuuuuuup OR NOT

[@iamernieg]

I was SOO READY to hear the “Bolo! Drop” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@christophersteward3753]

Bro you wild for that beat.but real producers know exactly what you are saying😅😅😅

[@EHall-yx9xy]

Bolo…..That new intro is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

[@carlosjaimes4141]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 KISS method works too

[@swanebrokendeep]

Hi Bolo Thank you for your channel! Can I ask you where you have purchase your stand for the MPC on the picture announcement of this video! Thanks in advance Bro! Swane from France!😉

[@maysonstorm4956]

Hey Bolo, what kind of stand are you using for your keyboard and MPC? Might hit up ZZounds to cop one.

[@BoloDaProducer]

Here ya go it’s on Amazon: amzn.to/3Vtkoew

[@maysonstorm4956]

@@BoloDaProducer Thanks bro

[@wutsupg]

Been there too.... my struggle is the post production element. It don't hit right after mix down.

[@tmgtrapmobgodz]

Ludicrous can rap over that and make it a hit....he did it before on the "the basement " on BET. Remember

[@bally2203]

Awesome video! 💫💥💯 I can imagine that being around like-minded people will give you inspiration to create. Even a little gem from one of them can get the ball rolling for you to try something new. Also, if you like a particular vst/sound bank, switch to something else. The different sound will also serve as inspiration to do something new.

[@hectorheckler6327]

I sometimes get beat block if I don't make a beat in more than a week or spend too much time playing video games. But, brainstorming with splice, arcade, and the maschine or an MPC with no particular goal usually ease me out of beat blocks.

[@leogolive]

I’m the exact opposite. When I have beat block I stop messing with the beats. I just start playing guitar instead and I’ll do that for however long it takes. I’m still being musically creative. And vice versa. When I start to get stuck when I’m playing guitar I put it down and go mess with the MPC. Even after 23 years things can get stagnant when playing guitar. And whenever I take this approach it never fails that whenever I go back to these things I get far better results. But of course everyone is different.

[@Ra3dar]

FLIP MIDI!! I sometimes use samples but now days I try to stay away from samples unless its producers i know or if i can own it and know exactly who all made it but flipping midi when u get beat block works wonders. you can take one of your more complicated progressions you made in the past and flip it a million ways by just rearranging notes and using transpose and different effects.

[@Mill-on-da-track]

Something i do when im in a beat block is ill work in a different daw. If im falling flat on the mpc ill open up fl studio, studio one, or even.... ableton 😅 but trying different workflows help out for me when im having beat block

[@user99641]

that intro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jaymac8421]

That beat at the start sounded like you were playing Tetris!! 🤣

[@gainzwillbemade9890]

I flip everything over then walk out the room when I get beat block 😂😂😂😂 Then a fire beat comes in my head but everything is broken now. 😢😂

[@MrDrakeulah]

Usually I try a different genre that I like besides trap or whatever. Pick a popular song from a different genre and try to recreate it by ear. Basically how you get good at any instrument.

[@thomasmatthews8873]

No doubt about it. I get hit with it. I'll go in then have to start a new project ( I don't erase nothing) cause the previous lost zest along the way. But I'll come back and revise that file on a later date with new perspective and a fresh ear.

[@ideedit]

Beat block ain't real unless you believe it! Even That trash beat can be made to sound good with the right editing.

[@11dremoss]

that first beat sound like when you got to fight a boss on a nintendo game 😂

[@Mercilessstudio]

I hope some acoustic panels ain’t drop in the making of that beat 😂😂

[@rdubbs01]

Sometimes Guys when you feel this way go back and listen to your own beats that you haven't heard in a while and try to you will hear dang I good make that better or listen to the way you mixed it and sometimes that give inspiration for a new beat

[@DojoOfCool]

People have to learn they will never be another person even if they want to be everyone time and groove is unique. So don't be afraid of listening to other to get new ideas. Miles Davis, Art Blakey, even today Herbie Hancock were always getting young up and coming musicians in their bands, to get fresh ideas and energy into their music. You feel creative block, listen to some new artist, listen different type of music, go hear some live music, one of those is going to give you new ideas.

[@mikevenus4117]

I also go back and read the manual because it can give me a different perspective on my device.

[@wutsupg]

😂😂😂😂 he changed the intro with the catchy awful beat

[@mikevenus4117]

I learn how to get over beat block by learning a new genre and see how I could add it into what I’m doing.

[@DJKobeOnTheBeat]

nah that beat was kinda fire 😂🔥 like a club Mario song lol

[@ceb-onit-music]

Man that first beat had me like huh?!🤣🤣

[@Ibantar]

You tend to get fed up with folks saying “Yeah… we need to hook up and work!” Then later “EMPTY WIND AND TUMBLEWEEDS😒” I’m at the physical point in my life where I have good equipment, loads of higher end plugins and MAINLY… TIME! Cause I’m now retired and I’d love nothing more than to allow younger artists to come through and work! But since my lab is at the home front… I have to be cautious of who all I allow to come through.🤷🏾‍♂️ (Caught in that proverbial CATCH-22!)

[@PluggedInWith3]
