Making a Beat from Start to Finish [in detail]

This is me going through my process of making music from start to finish

Reply to this with any questions you have! I'll make a Q&A video soon enough

[@prodheartache5371]

why did you choose ableton as your DAW of choice? have you tried FL? love your shit homie

[@thedawgg7207]

What artist would you want to work with in the future

[@OzgunGG]

what is your best music production tutorial channels on youtube? could you do some any recommendation for us?

[@thomasmitchell3260]

Do you ever do collabs?

[@Geeee34lfe]

How long have you been producing and where do you find your packs?

[@ryanwogget]

"...over the top multiband compression" Oh my god I finally found out what OTT stands for. You've changed my life.

[@edwincollazos1609]

Memblem is soooooo underrated, but he is growing tho

[@sounce9154]

You put just enough elements that fit perfectly together....and that’s talent !!

[@jackhammer8061]

Why does that sound like passive saltiness? Haha That’s almost the least of it, what you do with the soundest you pick out is ultimately where all the magic is.

[@iasyama1999]

your explanations are on point. Love the vids, subbed!

[@adrian_ajv]

my left ear thanks u

[@philipalexander8715]

Great video my dude, I like that you make fun of yourself..Keep it up!

[@bolermanii]

deadass biggest inspiration for my new shit im working on rn, been at a massive writers block this whole year. your wisdom has made me make the best shit i've ever made. i will be forever grateful master memblem

[@kanavgupta2816]

please make more of these in depth beat making vids

[@loneswandon651]

[@parkbreezy]

ahhh good ol haas effect. very nice 👍

[@Backmobe]

Excellent tutorial brother. Loved the "Where to put something comes with time and practice, I personally feel like im not there yet especially because..." Thank you and keep those videos coming

[@TheExciteProductions]

your dead humour is right up my alley well done bro

[@KnightMirkoYo]

Thanks for the tip about ears dulling after listening to the beat for too long. I experienced it, but kinda disregarded the problem

[@kosmo_komputer]

it's super cool you're giving away this much sauce, thx dude, we'll all support you when you're next ep comes

[@jaysamuelwright]

The detune tip was perfect! I had been using tuner to tune drums but was just transposing. Nice one mate

[@nickjohnson398]

Don't think I've ever learned as many creative techniques in a video than this one... ty so much memblem one of my biggest problems isn't that I can't be creative, it's just that I don't know what tools are at my disposal, so this was a huge help!

[@EddieLovesYou]

Your short videos are great and this longer form is just as good if not better. You're making some of the hippest shit out there right now and getting to see your thought process behind it is awesome. Presentation is excellent and entertaining, just enough little funny stuff without being as OTT as a lot of other KZbinrs.

[@skinnyrigid]

You're a GOAT for this one Memblem, hope you gain more traction soon enough I totally fw what you're doing man 💯

[@yardmanAD]

Dope groove man, watching you do your thing is sick

[@zeetstweets]

Great video this is what's lacking on KZbin. In depth videos like this

[@SweepsBeats]

Super helpful man. Would love to see one that focuses more on arrangement in the future

[@juliustucker1766]

Always with the fire. A basic mixing/mastering tutorial would be dope too!

[@josephworkman1913]

great video, you explain everything very clearly

[@kaysolobeats960]

Love your approach bro, keeping us inspired

[@zanelemzinyati6752]

I just found your channel. I'm shook at how wholesome your beats are, and you're such a great teacher, you explain with so much patience. Never loose that. You're about to 🚀 I'm so inspired, thank you :)

[@WhoKuh]

My dude didnt say good bye 😢...this was fire. Love seeing other people’s process.

[@DjPrimeberry]

Excellent video!

[@vanhalwrapping]

those stereo sounding bass samples man, I'd kill for them. maybe you should make a pack or a more in-depth tutorial on how to get those clean 808 sounds

[@jackhammer8061]

Just parallel process them with a stereo layer, it’s totally straight as long as you low cut that layer to cut out all the sub frequencies. < Add that low cut at the very end of the chain so all the processing, distortion/saturation ect gets added to the entire freq range of the sample and when you low cut at the end it’s like having your cake & eating it too cuz even tho the sub range is cut out you still preserve everything else. You can add stereo width with the HAAS effect in Live’s delay, filter delay or echo plugins. Infected Mushroom has a really dope free plugin called Widener for that too that doesn’t mess up the phase no matter how hard you push it. I’d recommend just making a audio effect rack, creating a extra chain, leave one of them empty(thus making it parallel), throwing use Overdrive and/or Saturation or even Echo’s analog style saturation(if you bring the wetness all the way down, & click the “d” button right next to the feedback knob the plugin becomes just a saturation. Super dope one at that) and saving the stereo width at the end of the chain right before the EQ low cut.

Can someone tell me what the alternative to the beat warping thing is on FL?

Love your videos man keep it up

[@avalanche768]

you are really talented

[@ritik_ghanshani]

*zooms into the plant for reason* 5 seconds later *Talks about adding randomness to make the beat better* I see you 😂

[@MoRiceMusic]

This is dope af! I only have one question; When you say "in front of the beat", do you actually mean "behind the beat" since the sample is coming in after the beat? or are you thinking in terms of the grid being in front of the beat you are creating?

[@gelailoh]

24:12 masterpiece

[@toasty_mm6721]

Amazing work dude. You are so talented.

[@HiBye-kt4ct]

Love your channel, could you please tell me how to get the zikomo bass you use? thank you

[@DanielCoo]

Dude thank you so much for this

[@bifel4116]

Where does he get his melodic samples?

[@timmiller516]

“Eventually hate the whole song..” very accurate 😂

[@qimonda]

Loved the video, theres a strange thing happening to the sound everytime you play the track, it just moves to the left side speaker, but when you stop everything goes back to normal. Eitherway just wanted to let you know about that. Dope video, you and oksami have been one of my main inspirations in music rn, thank you for everything. Much love

[@monsterj9975]

Can you say on you’re next video what sample packs you use packs for disco funk?

[@markbergsound]

Dig, love using chopped loops for rhythm. Audio over midi for me as well, so much more tangible

Crzy

[@elaRRman]

fire bro i just got one question. Y do u prefer perc loops or drum loops in general instead of creating them from scratch ? Am not trynna say that everyone can do it ofcourse , but its a bit of a sort cut imo . Like i dont get why taking someone elses drum loop instead of creating ur own

[@lukassweetwood802]

love the tutorial! also: you say "and so" so often 😂

[@patrykpryce]

I don't personally make these kinda beats but maybe I'll start and switch things up a bit. I really like how you mesh it all together, it always reminds me of Timbaland's groove (can't find any better way to explain it since I hate comparing artists to other artists if that makes sense, lol). I like these kinda videos. Keep it up!

[@GageAulik]

Fuck with this

[@jacobjuarez9950]

🔥 this is groovy af. Could you post how you approach mastering or how you mastered this track?

[@memblem-music]

I just have a limiter on the master, I don't consider my tracks the cleanest since I don't master much but focusing on the mix really helps

[@blubre]

this is how we get the cave episode with kenny in the booth

[@KnightMirkoYo]

no no no please god no

[@zig8925]

very unique way of starting off imo

[@cassettepat]

Favourite tutorial channel at the moment! Inspiring productions and techniques, very interesting and refreshing to see all this use of audio and chopping, subbed and eager for more! Question I would have is how much do you mix and master your beats or do you just focus on getting too quality samples and give them a bit of a levelling? Thanks

[@fabianberg7340]

Hey, love this. do you recommend any sample packs? for drums or chords. I usually find most on splice but I find myself often just downloading random individual samples so a good sample pack could be necessary. thanks!
