[@Ivannbeats]

Should do a video on basslines because thats what i have the most lacking, and im pretty sure more people, staying on the root note and having very interesting basslines are very different so please consider making one video with this theme Edit: I think my basslines are the best part of my production now lol

[@jonritchey8653]

Hopefully we can like this enough that navie sees it.

[@Dubbudha]

I always blame the shitty speakers and headphones in my youth for my difficulties creating good bass lines..

[@Ivannbeats]

@@Dubbudha basslines are hard man, for me its the hardest part in beatmaking so most of the times i just add the root notes, i wanna make them jump up and downn but they are always offkey, also drill slides hard when you want them subtle

[@jonritchey8653]

Making real bass is super difficult for me… I’ll kill some 808 trap bass though. Realistic bass guitar bass though… nope

[@Ivannbeats]

@@jonritchey8653 trap 808s are pretty easy tho, realistic bass and drill is where its at

THE best tutorial channel, especially for Boom Bap - Old School, New School, Future School, Pre-Historic School - you name it, Navie knows how to produce it! Thnx for the great video! 🙏

[@nlmbdrek]

Navie always giving free sauce. He the best on KZbin forsure

[@tutuletters6664]

I still have all of my old 90s beat tapes. Watching this makes me want to post them to my channel! "Jamma* Wun" That bassline made this beat a banger! Awesome work!

[@user-lt2rw5nr9s]

8:12 Some samples in Tracklib have "multi-tracks" which would have stems for the sounds. When there's a specific sound you like and you have this option, definitely utilize it. Much cleaner than EQ isolation.

[@tracklib]

Now this is a pro tip

This is why you're my favorite producer 🔥🔥🔥😩. Can't wait to finish exams so I can cook up again 😃

[@peekfor3144]

Your explain is soo good . Every producer who want to make an old school style can take every idea from the tips . That is like masterclass for “choose” of every stuff you need in your beat You could make a video where you explain how to arrange an old school beat . Transients, how to mix it to lower freq as a transition for the next hook or something else 🙏🏼

[@benceramay1997]

true

[@madhadda_rotla]

This sounds awesome. I gotta admit, I wasn't 100% on board with the sample progression, but that bass really pulled it together. Never doubt Navie. Lesson learned. 👏🏿

[@solonbeatz]

this texture detail 🤯🤯🤯 great video man! really appreciate

[@BeatMessiah1]

Navie D you are the man!!! My beats sound so much better now thanks to you talking about the EQ, i never made space for other instruments in the track and never really EQd so it was a just in the same frequency range sounding whack, but with you advice i now made the grimiest mobb deep type beat imaginable, it got everything: Bells, Sax, Bass, Rhodes, Some Strings everything but thanks to the EQ advice it sound amazing.

[@memorimusic420]

Honestly, boombap is the most fun to produce of any genre

[@luakspudaus8016]

[@verbone]

You're a dope producer, Navie. Your love and study of music shows, and your shit is consistently dope. But, I'd like to hear a little more swing in the drums for old school boombap. It also helps to get a sample of vinyl static and add it to the mix. Just enough to dirty the clean samples up and give it that old sampled-vinyl sound. (Especially for those using VST's or stuff like Landr samples.)

[@E-1K]

Krush is really great. The automation features are neat, and it's sound can get real nice. Decimort 2 is a joy to use. ❤️

[@lturner7159]

What's up Navie D I have a question. When layering a Kick with another kick, In addition to adding an EQ on your secondary kick would you recommend decreasing some of the secondary kick's attack a smidge to make way for the snap of the main kick's attack?

[@BK-oi1nd]

Biggest thing with layering instruments that are the same is phase, especially with low end frequencies like 808s and kicks. If you layer a kick and it doesn’t hit hard, try flipping the polarity of one of the kicks, in addition to carving it out with EQ.

[@RXKDon]

Amazing
