Damn ! So easily you time stretched those reverse open hats. Mind boggling !!

[@gtothewall]

Wow man, your videos really help me understand what I'm doing and not doing, and how to better navigate thru Logic (since I'm still most comfortable in Maschine). Love the content bro!

[@prodbyocean]

Glad you finding it useful man

[@LilFolksMK]

bro you a genius I bought my first laptop yesterday. and made my first ever beat doesn't sound good but im working on it. thanks for the amazing tutorials :)

U still making beats???

[@PreachGriffin]

Thanks Ocean, you are a blessing to the beat maker community!

[@faux36]

Watched a bunch of your videos tonight and learned a bunch. Something you said on one of them “you can’t progress if you keep doing the same thing. you have to switch it up.” Amazing. Got a subscribe.

[@SofoniBeats]

Wow...so that is how they do it by pitching down the melody! 2021 I am making a goal of getting more professional sounding software. I think FL studio sounds good but I tend to like more stuff from logic. Many of my beats went viral from garage band but when I go to professional producers they tell me I should still learn logic or FL studio

[@AngelRay2191]

Never thought to use reverse high hats i think i will try that 🔥🔥🔥

[@prodbyocean]

[@davidbyourplanb]

Thanks for sharing your entire process! I hadn't thought of building it backwards by repeating then adjusting 😀

[@floretfauna]

Hi Ocean, are your drills packages (even the free one) copyright FREE?

[@thedisappointed2530]

[@prodbyocean]

Appreciate that bro

[@samerkadih8534]

Dude you are such a god. If I may ask, have you made a video on how you can convert a musical idea into Logic Pro X? For example, the initial beat you had. Like if you have any tips for adding complexity to a simple idea. Thanks again!

[@prodbyocean]

Yep I got a video on that - how to turn ideas in your head into actual beats

[@moyonkontchou9142]

Please do more of these tutorial vids they’re sooo helpful I’ve learnt so much in just 10 min and mad beat too btw🔥👌🏿

[@prodbyocean]

For sure 🙏🏿

[@prodbyocean]

Cheers bro

[@Skatelifesanti]

Thank you maaaaan, that halfspeed trick really enlightened me hahaha, keep killing it 🙏

[@ShavosBlackJacket]

Great video Ocean! It only takes a few subtle changes to take a beat to the next level.

[@prod.jakekarno1765]

Best video on structuring beats that I've seen.

[@rhythmneverdies]

I do that sometimes. Have you ever stutter the hats or claps for a transition effect?

[@sudeep9388]

Thanks man Ocean for the tutorial. I keep watchin' your videos bro. Peace.

[@prodbyocean]

[@nag6410]

[@accentontheoff]

Hi thanks for this. How did you input all the individual drum parts in the first place. Keyboard? Are they all part of the same drum sound. Thanks again.

[@James-xm1gv]

I switched to FL Studio but your tutorials are just overall helpful as always

[@prodbyocean]

🙏🏿

[@EMADKHAN479]

That was helpful ocean keep it up man

[@ryancoulburn]

Do you have any videos on working with midi bass lines ? I watch your videos on 808 bass lines, which have been really useful, but when it comes to making tracks that use midi bass guitar or like DX7 sound FM bass type sounds, i struggle to get these to sound good and full in my mix. Thanks :)

[@2010Dilys]

Just stumbled across your channel its wicked ...any possibility of going a tad bit slower on the explanations. I couldn't keep up and theres so many great tips you have. Cheers

[@jonathankachel9788]

This is a quality video! Keep up the good work Ocean❤️🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@prodbyocean]

Always bro 🙏🏿

[@saintg1121]

nice job Ocean! fan from Taiwan. just a technical problem: is that akai mpk only directly connect to Mac thru usb cable? does it have midi in and out? since my mac's usb ports are occupied with harddrive, etc. Would be nice if it have amidi in and out that run into audio interface

[@prodbyocean]

I think it connects only through usb (probably best to check their website) - maybe get a usb extension bank

[@mookiemorningstar]

OCEAN MADE THIS BEAT YEAH :D

[@HollywoodFLOSS1]

thanks for all the tips

[@rakatai.i.i8739]

Been waiting for this! Thank you man!

[@AC-kv9qs]

Structuring can be extremely overwhelming for me but this video really helped Ocean.. tysm😭🔥

[@prodbyocean]

Glad it helped man

[@bushemilvas8830]

Thanks for share such tips to transform a loop into a real song.

[@aureliendunot4939]

hey ocean.. i m desperately trying to understand how to make rhythmiser work with logic and it is so confusing. that would be great if you show us how you use the presets with. thank you.

[@sackboy3621]

keep up the good work your fan mike

[@ThreeAirFilms]

I need help with kicks and bass using stock plugins. My beats sound nice but not like others in the way the mixing sounds

[@CMvney]

Same

[@fosterchild1793]

Go online downlod various drum packs. After grouping all the drums together. Go thru and find only the best soundingones, hardest cleanest kicks etc. then find a video on how to put these chosen samples into logic exs24 sampler for playing them. Then just use some compression and even layer 2-3 kicks together of different pitch and type of kick. U can get creative with it but ideally just a round bumping kick with a hard knocking tight kick. The 2 will give u a nice hard result. U can add compressors on both with slughtly opposite attack and release times according to which type fits either. The fast attack for the knocking kick and the longer attack for the bumping kick.. then u can bump some eq and carve space out so their not hitting in the same place but fit togeter on the eq spectrum, and def not interfering with the 808s sweet spot frequency. Finally with these compressed and layered kicks...bounce them to audio files when the individual kicks soumd nice together.... before adding them to the bass, assign them both to a bus(both to the same bus.) and put a compressor on the aux of this bus. Make this compressor have about 4db of compression and bump the make up volume about 4db u, make it have a fast attack and pretty quick release. Lastly on your 808 channel, add another compressor, and set this compressors “sidechain”(in the top right corner of the compressor) to the bus you sent the kicks to. The attack and release on this 808 compressor u can experiment with. But now you’ll be closer than ever to having hard hitting kicks that fit with and around the 808 bass as good as u can get it almost. Also on bass make sure u not only compress, but use overdrive plugin with low amount of drive and the frequency set around 100-200. And add some “distortion II” plugin. Bump the tone, set the pre gain about 2/3 up. And adjust the drive accordingly. U can use subbass plugin to add some weight too. And if u wanted u can even duplicate ur kicks and bass lines into 2 more tracks beliw the main track of them.... and on each kf the duplcated tracks lower the volume a bit and layer them all. Panning the bottom two tracks of each one to the left, one to the right, and leave the main one in the middle... will give a nice wide full sound.

[@prodbyocean]

I got 2-3 videos on that, check em out 👌🏿

[@Nour.Lectures]

Splice is great for drum sounds too.

[@KellyDante]

Omg I had no idea ctrl + R existed!! I was suffering with alt + dragging for the past 3 years that made me find the process draining. Thank you for making this man! 😭

[@tahjmilne1943]

ocean i really need help!!!!! How do i set my buses to no send as default?? please help

[@bryanvillanueva8125]

Hey ocean, I was wondering if you knew how to setup a midi keyboard on logic

[@prodbyocean]

Just plug it in via usb and you should be good to go

[@bryanvillanueva8125]

Ocean does that work with the m-audio 49 mk3. It’s my first time buying and using one

Hey ocean i got a quick question for you: Whats the name of the tool used to extract lyrics from other songs? And if so: is there a way to avoid copyright? (For cool remixes)

[@prodbyocean]

I’m not sure - I didn’t know a tool existed like that?
