Right off the bat, I have never related with a "That's Dope" episode as much as this one. As soon as you said "Lets do something dark" I was hooked. That 4 bar piano loop is so simple yet so nasty. I love what you did with the synth bass because that single note adds texture to the beat. I've been struggling with adding something different to the beat so its not too repetitive while still holding the integrity of the melody, that switch up at the second half of the verse did a job well done. Changing up the high hat pattern so it sounds different every 16 bars definitely helps with the beat not being to repetitive. THIS is the "That's Dope" episode I needed to prove to me that you are THE man. I'd love to see more crisp sounding piano beats. I'm looking forward to testing out that new piano.

[@amirperrymusic]

Man I really appreciate you. That’s a good break down that you did! 🙏🏾 You’ll get to where you need to be though. It’s all about putting in the work to constantly improve.

Hey bro, any chance you could make a video on how to edit the drum patterns off screen? I notice a lot of chops in the clips and the drums sound really tight. I love all your content man!!

[@tantrumsoundstudio2117]

Hi Amir! Great great stuff! I was wondering: which sampler are you using to trigger the drums? And how did you made the 808? Thanks a lot!

[@amirperrymusic]

Battery 4. It’s just a regular 808 sample with some distortion added to make it cut thru the mix.

[@wb3ds390]

You make it look easy, that beat is fire 🔥 dope bro 🔥🔥🔥

[@amirperrymusic]

Thanks bro. It is easy. 😎

I load all my drums in Battery 4

[@brittneyclay5021]

I’m new to using Pro Tools. I’ve been using GarageBand for awhile and switching to Pro Tools seems like a lot.

[@amirperrymusic]

It’s a slight learning curve coming from garage band but it’s worth it.

I like how you kept hitting them 808s like iron mike. overall I like the beat

@@ninoblack3772 I don't have expansions I use. All the sounds are just the presets that come standard with it but I do make sounds by combining different patches at times.

Hey Amir. Great video! Do you know how to Tune a 808? Maybe you could do a tutorial showing how to Tune a 808 in pro tools?

[@amirperrymusic]

Thanks man. It’s pretty easy to tune a 808. What instrument are you playing the 808 from?

[@alfrednrlv7325]

@@amirperrymusic I’m playing the 808 as a sample from the structere free

[@amirperrymusic]

Oh ok. What I would do is make sure the 808 lines up with the C note on a piano. Load up a piano, hit the Middle C note and then play with the tuning on the 808 until it matches. Now whatever key you hit with the 808 will follow everything else.

How do you know what tempo to use when making a beat? I’ll start making a melody but when I put the tempo on it kind of throws me off. Need help on that!

[@amirperrymusic]

Try some at 130, 140, 150. Those are all pretty popular tempos.

Bruh... I don't know how you have Xpand2 sounding that dope! Every time I try to use it, it just sounds lifeless to me.

[@amirperrymusic]

Preciate you. Try making some of your own sounds with it. Xpand has some dope presets but you can do some dope stuff combining patches.

Send me the link to the beat

[@kokidchaz4790]

Do you think it will help going to community college for associates in music so I can be my own musuc engineer it's cheap?

[@amirperrymusic]

You don’t need school for that. Use that money for something else like promoting yourself after you learn from KZbin university lol Consume as much information as you can and practice. Hands on experience is going to be the best teacher when it comes to audio.
