CJ Beatz making a Bay Area type beat?

how to use alchemy in another daw lol

[@Christ-qd4dn]

cool edits and effects you would do on vocals already mixed and ready (with automation, pitch etc. ,or any free plugin)

[@King31395]

Binaural panning?? Unbelievable. Had no idea my basses and kicks were being spread apart like that! That adjustment alone has suddenly made such a gigantic difference - thanks very much! The difference is night and day!

[@planej6315]

But what is the advantage over just making your kick mono?

[@rockyblaq510]

Use the side-only EQ option without using binaural pan and you'll get the same effect and result without clipping because you still have to use compression as well...... believe me, side-EQ on the 808 or bass alone will give you more stereo space while keeping it clean and still hitting hard. It works. For the kick, do the same thing because the samples that come in packs and kits are already processed to sound a specific way. Main thing is to clean up the low sub sonic freqs under 100 Hz and keep the mids to save stereo space once you layer in other instruments, you'll be amazed how clean and hard your mixes will come out, don't forget to use your ears.

[@sphaxomania6786]

Finally a Tutorial that shows how to mix the 808. I haven't heard my 808`s on little speakers and nobody could help until now.

[@CJBeatzProductions]

glad to hear it!

[@tidanje2630]

Sphaxomania what I always did was use trap bass and turn the volume of everything else except for the bass or 808

[@greghillmusic]

Also look into mid/side EQ

[@kamaliza_music]

Wow! Have been producing for a decade and this is one of the most informative videos I've watched. The binatural panning is a game changer - big thanks!

[@Equilibrium36936]

This is one of the best tutorials on youtube so clear and solved so many problems I was having

[@millyeon5082]

This has helped my mix so much thanks a million

[@Rio-uv1gs]

Yep that's a fact..cj has videos for Eq - ing snares , kicks, hihats...I applied what was in those videos right away along with knowledge I already had and it was very noticeable.

[@stevenwhite8812]

Sir, watching your video tonight (just now) taught me about "Binaural Pan" and how it is used to make a sound mono so it can be placed where you want it to sit in the mix. That tip is unbelievably POWERFUL. C.J. Sir, you are a goldmine of Audio Intelligence and a major blessing to anyone with a brain in their head and is paying attention. Please don't ever change. You are making a BIG BIG DIFFRERNCE.

[@LishGrooves]

just had the same experience!

[@mesactjulhu9323]

As a 20+ year Logic User I have to say this is the best tutorial for me when it comes to mixing 808’s and Kicks. Thanks.

[@CJBeatzProductions]

[@babyweegz]

Hands down the Best video on the internet for how to mix the kick to the 808. Thank you this helped my mix tremendously! 🎉

[@teamjoffery]

The binaural thing was a game-changer! I've only ever used Logic, and never knew about that. Clearly I need to explore the program more haha, but anyways: thanks for that!

[@youngorangee]

Trying this right now

[@emmanuelakwe5901]

This is the best tutorial I found there’s no respect for people who use logic on KZbin... can never find good videos that actually help... you showed me stuff that I didn’t even Logic had

[@KingArthur72076]

I’m glad you used the stock plugins , I’ll try it on my next beat and thanks for the info.

[@CJBeatzProductions]

of course, wanna make sure you guys all have the same stuff I use!

[@saucemoneybeatz1977]

[@CJBeatzProductions]

Much appreciated!! Thx for sticking by me

[@bhaskarville]

Hey CJ, could you put up a tutorial on how to make kicks punchier, and how to make the choruses on a song more impactful as a result? At present I can put together a song and use a lot of automation as well, but I still fail to make my choruses sound 'larger' than the verses (if that makes any sense). Hope you'll do one on this.

[@billionairefocusgroupllc4930]

Thank you CJ. I love your tutorials. You always take your time while you're explaining. 👍🏾

[@Rio-uv1gs]

[@yourstarlight8051]

Hey CJ just discovered your channel and i love it. learned some good tips. Thank you very much ! I was wondering if you could do a video on Roll snares techniques. The way how you do them easily and quickly like on this video above. If you don't mind of course. Thank you very much and im gonna carry on checking your videos. Actually im watching them many times to try to understand proprely. Thank you. Cheers

[@nikkuthomasabraham3784]

Hi cj.... Nice and simple..... pretty much liked. I learned something new. Can u upload some tutorial about how to create realistic tones(stock) from logic x

[@512Chrislima]

thank you cj !!!

[@cal3bsbeats342]

Thanks CJ Beats!! The Binaural Pan & Side Chain tip definitely helped me out! 😀

[@sleazymansion639]

Cal3bsBeats I agree binaural pan was crucial to find out 💯 appreciate you CJ beats 💯

[@remedymusic305]

Very clearly explained. Thanks man. Instead of pulling your faders down so low though, why wouldn’t you just utilize the output gain on your compressor? I think the sound starts to lose more of its detail the lower the fader is pulled.

[@CJBeatzProductions]

Good point, I'll try that out thx

[@CJBeatzProductions]

The kicks you are using are probably processed kicks, they already been compressed. I'm not using stock drums in the tutorial...

[@normjones6916]

amazing to know thanks for sharing

[@Keonthaartist]

Dope vid bro! This one rigjht on time

[@CJBeatzProductions]

thank you!

[@Keonthaartist]

@@CJBeatzProductions Np homie, keep it up man

[@davidtrueheroakad-true8318]

This dope very helpful man! but everytime I do this my track peeks and if I turn it down the bass wont hit like I want it man 😅

[@kayarebeats2507]

I was literally thinking about how to do this!! I can't thank you enough for this amazing tutorial! A idea, can you show how to prepare your mix for mastering. A to Z. Now i need to watch all your other videos and get to work 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@mboii9062]

thanks a lot dude 🔥

[@masakazu_07]

Golden tutorial right here thank you CJ!

Props to ya big man!

[@spacecrimebeatz]

Awesome tutorial!!!

[@glorinyesudas4531]

.hello..how to change 808 from a different key to a preferred key?

[@beatsbydaku]

Is there a way to sidechain only the low frequencies of the bass with logic stock plugins? without separating the low and the mid/top of the bass on 2 tracks. cause i don't want to duck the whole bass, i just want to sidechain the frequencies that are in conflict with the kick. i usually do this with izotope neutron, but i wonder if there is a way in logic itself

[@CJBeatzProductions]

That's a very good question! I'll investigate and see if you can be more detailed with the sidechain

[@alexxkid]

This was suuuper informative, I love how you always explain everything in detail. Thank you bro 🙏🏼🔥

[@shadowrslayer]

man thank you so much

[@MrShawnee99]

fire video thanks homie

[@CJBeatzProductions]

thank you and your welcome!

[@TomKuhl]

Best Tutorial. THX

[@alexisaguirrevideos]

When I bring up the compressor for my 808 it just shows dual mono and stereo, so I just did the binaural pan instead

[@fieldnegro5620]

How did you set your window..screen to fit all your controls into one with yr tempo, play / stop buttons and clicker ...

[@hoodrich4lyf]

In the video you said the filter should be off "for now" for the 808 compressor, when are we suppose to put it back on?

[@midighostbeatz7945]

Kick boost @ 600hz, not 120ish? Very interesting.. definitely gon try that out later tday!

[@melodicgod2382]

How do u prevent it from clipping? When doing these changes boosting the bass. I always have to lower the track a ton after adding these plugins. Does that take away a lot from the bass or not that much?

[@GOJIRA561]

Melodic God just play with the output volume on the plugin and turn down just a bit

[@jesseurena5153]

gain stage everything bro

[@stargazer.98]

CJ, thanks man. I watched this and tried it on my kicks and wow does it make a difference when you try it out on your own tracks. Really "thumps" lol thanks bruh bruh

[@drejacobsfit]

good ass tutorial bro!

[@roel8688]

would you still use sausage fattner and that compressor on the kick?

[@prodsej]

Thanks for this video, it helped a lot. However, I have a question. Why does the 808 noticeably swell in after the kick hits? What should I adjust?

[@prodstarqz7010]

Hi, have you found a fix for this?

[@elijahworden219]

Tutorial with no sidechain?

[@Tkewl1]

Thank you!!!

[@Sheeninthebox]

nice work man

[@CJBeatzProductions]

much appreciated!

[@Rio-uv1gs]

In the side chain drop down I didn't have anything there accept input & inst.... is it still working if nothing is selected?

[@lovellw4596]

It doesn't give me the option for binaural panning when i click on it. Even though i've selected 'surround' on the advanced settings..can someone help me with this?

[@CedrickWalker]

Amazing thanks

[@ykdmusic]

Instead of using binaural pan for the kick can you just use a gain plug in and switch the out to mono?

[@ColombianCatastrophe]

Hey CJ could you make a tutorial on how to make a drum kit like the one you have in this tutorial?
