Making A Beat In Pro Tools Using ALL STOCK Sounds

[@Bashanvibe]

You can make any DAW sound great using stock plugins when you know how to play for real. No shade to those who are just starting

[@amirperrymusic]

I feel what you’re saying but with midi files and loops, you really don’t even need to know how to play these days. There’s never been an easier time to be a producer.

[@furiousstiles]

The brother on here preaching the gospel. USE WHAT CHA GOT! Mane yeah! That’s my mantra for everything. Make due with what you got until you can do more. As tough as it seems, it’s really that simple 🤷🏾‍♂️ Especially when it comes to being creative 💪🏾 All of the best art I’ve ever seen or heard came from people just using whatever they can get their hands. You a almost at 15k subscribers brother. A lot of people are watching and learning!

[@amirperrymusic]

🙏🏾💯 All it takes is some creativity and know how. Hopefully hit that 15k soon.

[@amirperrymusic]

Dope!!! Let me know what you think.

[@andresvela9249]

I loved the video. I now know about those 808 kicks inXpand!2. I've been using the Poly Electro Drum "808" that you made in that one video. I tweaked the envelope and made it into a real punchy, calm release 808. (with some distortion ofc) The repetition of the piano gave the beat a sense of continuity. I remember there was one song you mentioned before that had a record scratch all throughout the entire song. That record scratch on that song was like the piano in this beat. I really like the counter-melody you created with the bells. I as well have been experimenting with bells; I like mixing the FM stack bells with other bells and creating some big crisp bells. Finally, I'd like to thank you for showing us the full beat because now I've learned more about song arrangement. I really enjoyed the video, and thats not the food talking LOL.

[@indicapalacios]

I always use protools in my instrumentals and I always fight with my friends who are users of FL studios 😂 anyway both daws are amazing

[@amirperrymusic]

I like them both. Personally I think FL studio has a certain sound that I like. They're both good DAWs. I just think working and knowing Pro Tools has some added benefits.

[@bezzleskyhirecords5088]

Question how do you keep your recording loops from falling off tempo as the beat goes along. I be forced to record it to a separate audio tack but it gets annoying. but just building on the beat like that for a long period of time it will eventually start missing beats even if I quanatize and set temp etc.

[@ProfessorFust]

You can use Input quantize. It's listed under the Event menu.

[@gabrielbeckett5240]

try duplicating command d, when you've just selected the midi notes and not the clip

[@lainicsstudios1111]

I'm telling these beats that you make amir are better than the ones people be making on FL studio pro tools is the stuff so is logic

Thanks man. Yes you can make beats without the keyboard. You would just use the piano roll and draw in your notes.

@@amirperrymusic wow you’re fast! Thank you! I believe we can draw notes using the Pencil tool… Also, is this workflow in PT a good alternative to make beats instead of using Live/FL studio?

Nice!!!!! Learned another thing. Amir is there a video or can you make a video on setting the piano with knobs which are called D1,D2,etc. Reason is that sometimes I'm making a different song and I tweaked the knobs or accidentally moved them. Then when I go back to my other song its completely off on the settings.

Solid video fam!👏🏿 Question for you. When I go to the next track and add the next plugin/ insert, it still continues to play the instrument from track 1.

The first thing that comes to mind is to make sure you actually click on the new track and have that one record enabled.

WHAT KIND OF KEYBOARD WAS HE USING

[@brookeadinolfi3993]

Hi Amir, this has really been helping me out and giving me further insight on making beats, not to mention in Pro Tools. I would like to know; when you used the Endless 808 Kick, it seems like it was pitched/harmonic. However, when I plug in my 808 Kick there's no pitching (No matter what note I play on my MIDI keyboard, it's the same pitchless sound). Might I know how you did that and how I could achieve it? I have an audio recording final due tomorrow and this would really help me ;w;

[@amirperrymusic]

Hmm.. that’s odd that it’s not pitched for you. Are you using Xpand ?

[@brookeadinolfi3993]

@@amirperrymusic Yeah, I was, but I think I figured it out. There must have been some reason beyond that of my understanding, because I deleted the whole track, made a new one, and plugged in Xpand 2, and now I can play different notes just fine- as if there was a problem with the track itself. I have no idea why...

Ok cool. Might’ve just been a glitch.
