making sad lofi beat in fl studio | Wednesday Beatmaking Session

hi!
It's my first edit/video like this so I'm aware it's not perfect by any means so don't hate me for my editing pls haha (especially that my cpu was dying while making this beat and editing lol), however, I thought making something like this would be a cool way to improve my editing skills:)
Don't treat this as a tutorial or anything like that, treat it rather as 'inspiration' (maybe?) if you have a hard time coming up with beats or just as a video of someone making a beat. Also, this beat was made pretty fast, so I know the mixing could be a bit better. I just wanted to make a beat without overthinking about it too much and who knows, maybe I'll polish it later on. Anyway, it was really fun to make this one and I'll probably drop more sessions like this in the future!
Hopefully with better editing.

This one video is a thousand times better and clearer than 99% of other videos on this topic. More with vibe

[@macjbeats]

thank you so much! it means a lot!

[@xeonsparadise]

The kick is so loud, but other than that, I would never think this type of video would serve as a tutorial, but it did weirdly. Mixing, adjusting, adding plugins, and arranging all the different elements to a beat was simple but an excellent way to explain digital music.

[@macjbeats]

thank you!

[@tnyvchr]

the most lucid explanation of the bit without words.. love you, author

[@macjbeats]

[@nightcrawler8297]

[@macjbeats]

[@fernandos5048]

What did you add to your tea?

[@macjbeats]

it was a raspberry juice as far as i remember, the one you add to water hahah

[@Wren_The_Ten]

You have to be uploading consistently to make it, do t be like me. Couple of my songs done ok but without consistency nothing will happen

[@nightcrawler8297]

Prosimy o cameo sausage fattenera next time

[@Bob10143]

Its nice but I think the melody is kind of repetitive. Other than that noice 👍

[@Fakehistoryvids]

I agree. It's literally just looping and bringing in drums.

[@carpediemb]

блин круто. сначала не понял а потом как понял. только не понятно зачем автоматизацию на удар кика делать

[@emperor_putenskiy]

Это сайдчейн, обычно его делают, чтобы кик на фоне других звуков выделить и самое главное не давать ему конфликтовать с басом. Правда делать его через автоматизацию для простого лоу фай бита как-то запарно, но это дело вкуса и привычки. Возможно ты как раз об этом, или вообще не фанат сайдчейна в лоу фае, в принципе его можно было и не делать, не драменбейс же и не дабстеп

[@carpediemb]

а понял спасибо. ну до такого уровня что бы разные жанры выходили мне еще далеко)

[@AleoBeats]

What kind of tea were you drinking in this video?

[@macjbeats]

idrk i guess it was fruit tea with some juice it was real fire

[@AleoBeats]

@@macjbeats I see. lit track man. the keys are so lush.

[@macjbeats]

@@AleoBeats thank u

[@justamusicianonyt]

what is that tea?

[@macjbeats]

good tea, fruit one if im correct:)

[@justamusicianonyt]

@@macjbeats thanks😊im going to try it

[@justamusicianonyt]

@@macjbeats is good tea the name of the tea?

[@macjbeats]

@@justamusicianonyt hmm im not sure. I think it wasn't that tea (I bought it a typical Polish shop hah), but yk most of them taste the same so any fruit tea (like raspberry tea or strawberry tea (my favourites i guess hah) or any fruit tea) will taste the same no matter the name of the producent hah:)

[@justamusicianonyt]

@@macjbeats oky

[@Bullrunnerrr]

Wtf you put in your cup of tea tho bro

[@macjbeats]

juice

[@Fakehistoryvids]

It's easy to make loops. It's hard to make a full song.

[@macjbeats]

True! You can check my recent videos, where I make some songs from scratch!

[@Prodkibis]

I find it hard to make loops and easy to make full songs 💀

[@macjbeats]

@@Prodkibis you can check out my videos, where I make loops as well! :)

[@XxxxXSHADOWMAN]

And there is no variety in the track or switch ups which makes it very boring to the listener. I would recommend turning down the vintage EQ plug in I would suggest making it quieter it interrupts the mix

[@XxxxXSHADOWMAN]

I’m gonna be honest this beat is terrible I’m an honest person if people are telling you that this is good they are doing you a disservice. I’m not hating on you or anything however you have a long way to go I wanna see you get better. Consider this tough love. Happy producing.

[@macjbeats]

Hey! Thank you for the feedback I appreciate it:) This video was my first video in style of 'tutorial' and it was mostly for the sake of practicing my video editing skills. I didn't spent much time on the beat, so that's why it is boring and the mix could prolly be fixed. You can consider checking out my other music tutorials or my releases:)

[@jujubeefan3059]

hate the drums, love the piano. but the quality of the drums almost makes it feel like a racial stereotype on lofi bruh. lofi drums is so much deeper

[@Wowisawow]

this is an interesting beat bro definitely needs some work and spicing up but good foundation you've layed, do you have discord or any socials we can chat on cause i'd love to be friends wit you and see what other fl projects you're workin on and show u what i got going on, i could definitely see myself helpin you on furthering your production. for example i saw you trying to side chain your kick to the beat which is a good idea for this style of lofi however u were doin it the wrong way, i could teach you how to do it more efficiently if u'd like!

[@macjbeats]

Hey! thank you for the kind words! This beat is something I made quickly and mostly for 'making a video' purposes only haha. I didn't expect it to become kinda popular (10k views for me is a lot haha). If you want you can check out some other videos I made or even check out my music I release:) You could dm on instagram @macjbeats. I could also send you my discord:)
