How to get better at making beats FAST!

[@mudimstrmind]

Honestly I don’t care for easy tips But you’re videos just remind me how fun making beats are and remind me they aren’t hard I’m just psyching myself out Never stop being you my man ❤️

[@BedroomLofiMusic]

Starting the week off with Ldre motivation is just what I need!

[@jarrbones]

Each time I feel like I'm headed nowhere with what I'm doing, I watch your videos and you fuel my drive to keep on keeping on. You have no idea how important these tips are to me. Thank you as always for what you do for me and the community of beat makers. Hope to share with you my beats someday (when I'm good and confident enough) and to have you see (and hear) how you helped make it all possible. It's a tough journey, but it gets better and easier when there are pros like you around to help encourage and give the most awesome advice and methods. Thanks L.Dre. Much love.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Thank you for sharing this message I wish you nothing but success 🙏🏾❤️

People don't care how a beat/song is made so yeah using samples/drumloops isn't something you should be ashamed of, true

[@mudimstrmind]

Def built in loops but alot of songs are still beaitiful when the vocals are the changing melody in my opinion With good enough melody you sometimes don’t even notice the loops unless u have that ear for it

[@damousx6860]

As long as you’re improving and learning from loops and samples, go ahead and use them. Don’t use them as a crutch. If it sounds good then good, however if the artist doesn’t like the loop for whatever reason then it’ll be more difficult to slot something new in that doesn’t sound half assed.

[@miserycodebeats1722]

Fuck no. We all know it’s weak and hopefully there is some legal stuff that happens soon . Yeah though while it’s legal, fuck it !

[@Kintential]

As far as music theory, I feel that getting a grasp of the most basic concepts can take music production a long way. It doesn't have to take too long to learn the basics, and if your desire to learn is strong enough, the intimidation factor quickly fades away.

[@04foreverinvincible69]

i agree music theory is a weapon u should have in your arsenal...when u understand the theory you can try new ideas instead of just clicking notes and hope dey work

[@naiamp3]

thank you for this!! i'm just getting started producing and i get hella imposter syndrome from using samples to compensate for my lack of theory knowledge. this reminded me that at the end of the day all that matters is using what you have to make good music

[@alexzehnmusik]

Thank you L.Dre

[@CourtneyProduces]

I absolutely LOVE mixing! L Dre, this stuff is so good! Thanks for being real and being honest about making beats faster!

[@ernestm8884]

I agree with everything you stated in this video. I grew up DJing house music in Chicago back in the day and I always want to play some keys and do the drum programing of the tunes I was spinning. A year ago I purchased my Maschine Mk2 and the komplete Kontrol S61mk2, thanks to you and a few other youtubers I can drop some House, electronica and DnB with ease. Now I'm also picking up some of that GUNNA and Kaytranada

[@milk_defender6671]

Man this man L.dre really got me into making music. I thank you L.dre and your videos always make my day!

[@LDreTheGiant]

I wish you nothing but success 🤞🏾

[@milk_defender6671]

@@LDreTheGiant Thanks a lot man 🙏

[@dotkiiy]

Beats don’t make themselves (AI don’t read this). Whether it’s a loop, original play, or a combination it takes skill. Appreciate you L.Dre!

[@alxnworld]

THANK YOUU L DRE

[@shakez003]

Mixing is definitely my biggest weak point and what I hate about producing the most. I always feel like something is too loud or not loud enough, and I spend way too much time turning stuff up or down. Using other songs as a reference is a good idea though, and I will try using that method. Also, I love your content..Just came across your channel a month or so ago, and appreciate your honesty in all of your vids.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Much love you got this!!

[@thehousedevelopermusic3084]

Slate digital templates really help buddy

[@virtascendgmbh5322]

One thing got me interested in your video: the concept of a unique signature sound! As I went through my songs, I found out, that I already have one, but not consciously applied: a short sequence of bells, playling a countermelody or support the main theme. In the future, I'll use this definitely with a purpose. Thanks for the idea!

[@iamkonabe]

This video just hit me right. I started 4 weeks ago and today I wanted to give up. Lack of inspiration and motivation after I couldn’t make what I imagined. Maybe I watched too much tutorials and ‘how to’s that got me to the wrong directon. This video gave me another hope 🙂

[@LDreTheGiant]

You got this !!

[@followthewaytaylor5872]

Have fun don’t worry! Put stuff out then you’ll learn what to do on your journey.

[@puzzleneptune]

I use samples, and sometimes I use only stuff I made bla bla bla, but yeah, using samples is a game changer and it will be. I got 3 or 4 Lofi remixes, but I'm scared to finish them to publish. Scared of copyright. The thing with recreating beats, hmmm sounds very interesting, I should try today or tomorrow. Mixing, mixing, mixing, yes, improve your thing, also a game changer. 😎

[@n0ldin]

Awesome video I just add that you could select convert to drums on any drum sample and remake it with your sound selection or improve the groove ect.

[@sethking657]

I need the breakdown on that J Dilla inspired beat you made

[@hleet]

Love theses advices

[@SamFocused]

Great and Motivational Video L.Dre 💯💯💯 Recreating Beats I Loved was exact the Same I Started my KZbin Journey. So you dont even Realize how much your skills and ear improve every time, cause you Always have fun instead of Frustration.

[@Sonnylmi]

Thanks for the pack bro! ☝🏾🔥

[@lionelyuzeff]

big gems been dropped

[@schablam5898]

I know this is a little off topic, but I just wanted to thank you for the music you have made, all of it is beautiful, thank you ❤️

[@Soulzifed]

I really did enjoy this video Dre 🔥 the tips you gave has given me more determination to keep pursuing what I love doing best which is making music. Thank you man 💯💙

[@lukescapee1234]

Yesss the Graham Stephan reference hahaha

[@Marcustrh]

As a long time Ldre fan, this video is a repeat as he has done each step in detail in a previous video. The whole catalog got gems 🔥🔥🔥

[@LDreTheGiant]

Damn I didn’t even know hahaha

[@Marcustrh]

@@LDreTheGiant multiple videos talking about samples, remaking your favourite songs, remixing songs, dedicated videos for mixing, bro it’s like Skillshare but way better 🔥🔥🔥

[@Valeofmusic]

🙏 L. Dre please on that mixing note, can we get a video ?? 🥹your great at creating ambience and space in your music , 😭 I’ve been tryna figure out “ putting the whole track in a space”

[@The_Gingerjam]

You inspired me to make lo-fi music myself, thank you so much, it's been a blast. Quick question tho: I have ableton live lite at the moment, so I have a max of 8 tracks. Is it worth the 80 bucks to upgrade? I just made one song so maybe I should I wait a bit. Once again thank you for everything :)

[@Pio_301]

miss ya dre

❤❤❤

[@ray_maestro_]

What are panning tips? Bass kick and snare straight up the middle and hi hats panned right? How far do you pan?

[@djcuda]

🎉

[@Daschill_]

Bro what bass did you use on that J dilla track?? So smooth Ive been looking for one like that

[@LDreTheGiant]

It’s my own! It’s called “simple bass” in L.Dre drum kit vol. 2

[@Daschill_]

@@LDreTheGiant Gonna have to pick that up!

[@katana2seppuku]

Wouldchu say it’s okay to use midis to make remixes n practice

[@LDreTheGiant]

100000%

[@katana2seppuku]

@@LDreTheGiant thank u for responding dawg, I appreciate that so much

[@yohobeat]

What is the brand of your hoodie?

[@FlatWHDF]

Have you tested out the APC64

[@miserycodebeats1722]

Can you upload songs to Spotify as a remix with the songs original vocals and make the money off it ?

[@tychodevries7634]

I’m trying to begin beat making. Should I go with ableton or logic x pro?

[@ZNDRMUSICOFFICIAL]

He uses ableton but both are great!

[@LDreTheGiant]

Ableton is amazing but I will say Logic Pro X has way better built in instrument VST’s if that’s important to you.

[@WolfeBMusic]

do you have to get your samples cleared in order to put your music on streaming platforms?

[@WolfeBMusic]

also what about unauthorized remixes?

[@ernestm8884]

Please add the MIDI files in the pack if you haven't already I like the stems and seeds (compilations)

[@LDreTheGiant]

All that will be in the full pack 🙏🏾

[@rainext]

the link to preview the drum kit isn't working

[@LDreTheGiant]

It seems to be working fine in my end. Maybe check your spam folder

[@JunInami]

Yooooo! sign me up in your playlist 🧐 but I'm not good enough 😭

[@story_teller_beats]

Who edited this video? It's kinda weird personally

65th liker Thank you man!

[@ASZ8]

:D

[@dannyboycinco]

mixing as a beat maker is 90% just balance and sound selection. most of your samples and sounds are already mixed and just need to be properly balanced. don't fall for the old farts info at pensados place or mix with the masters and over cook your mix.

[@geezus6191]

Just make music
