Metro Boomin's Producer Teaches Me How To Make Loops

On my quest to producer superstardom, I have stumbled upon a master of this craft: Elkan, a young but already successful producer who has agreed to share some of his tips and tricks with me.
I hope you take away as much knowledge as I have!
I'm very new to this, so if you have any constructive criticism, don't hesitate to leave it in the comments, much love!

fck I want that bit, fire

[@dvnatello]

if u make beats, hit my dms, maybe we can collab

[@Mateusz7821]

i like the sample, it feels unique and nice to listen to and it's really fire. The beat is cool too that you picked but all together it might be a little busy for fast rap vocals though, it's hard to make out if drake's vocals are the main instrument that I should be listening to or not

[@brieuccolard9850]

🔥🔥

[@thomasmathieu5483]

Deutsche qualitat your video ! 🥵

[@SAVANTI711]

The song was Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue you were using close to.

[@dvnatello]

yh a bunch of comments said that too, I just listened, I completely agree

Cool video! Share out from Russia.

Thank you very much!

[@manuelf.magana7227]

How funny it is when you come up with an original sound and after giving it details it ends up sounding like songs that already exist, Gilbert Sullivan is what it sounds like.

[@illmedik]

This is fire bro, both the beat and the video.. 🔥🔥, I'm still struggling to make my first video, got any tips for me.. also could you say how long it took u to create this..

[@dvnatello]

Hey man, it took me a long time because I didn't have a well defined script. My advice would be, plan the entire video very well before you start shooting it: what you want to talk about, what you want to achieve, etc. I'm still very new to all of this. This is the first one I've made so... still a lot to learn as well. But just do it, just try and see where you end up, that's the only thing I can really say

[@illmedik]

@@dvnatello Thank you so very much

[@persona8991]

What effects were used on vocals?

Why does the beat actually slap to the vocals tho ?! 🔥😎

[@dvnatello]

because I made it😎 haha jk

[@LYON-cf1wn]

this on soundcloud? I need this asap

[@dvnatello]

haven't uploaded yet

[@iamteao]

Dope video bro! What's your mic setup when recording your vocals?

[@dvnatello]

for these simple ones while making loops, I just use a rode nt1a powered by rme preamps (rme fireface ucx 2, which has great ad/da converters in my opinion), but in the studio recently my chain is: lauten audio atlantis->neve 1073->tubetech cl1b (I also might use a distressor from time to time) and all of that goes into a fireface ufx 3. don't hesitate to dm me on IG if u have some questions about it

[@iamteao]

lowkey don't know if this is a diss or a compliment haha, either way, thanks!

@@dvnatello its definitely a compliment. To sound like Frank Oceans producer places you amongst the gods 😂

the sample sounds like something tyle the creator would make

[@themadlooper3272]

Reminds me of Motley Crue..not sure if they made it or if they covered it

[@dvnatello]

this is the second comment about motley crue, might have to find the song in question

[@futuremisa]

name of the song ? the one being sang on ur sample

[@dvnatello]

privileged rappers, drake and 21 savage

[@spanprod]

its the secret bro

[@madd2377]

Could you go more in depth on how to harmonize the raw vocal note please ? (or if you could recommend a tutorial you think is good to learn)

[@dvnatello]

sure man, actually one of the coming videos will talk about harmonies

wtf i thought metro boomin was the only producer

Look at the credits, for example Allen Ritter works on almost every single song with Metro. Check genius.com for the songs you're interested in.

[@prestonweltz9636]

isnt metro boomin his own producer or am i trippin

he collaborates on a lot of records

did u conduct the interview or take snips from someone else's interview lol. either way nice video or nice finesse

[@DeadliestEvil]

The industry got too many people shook about sounding the same, all music sounds similar theres only so many notes and scales. Ngl I liked it at the end but I think this would work way better for a pop song over a rap song.

[@TheTacticalMess]

I think it works fine

[@Dbwj-so6mu]

Gatekeeping in 2023 kinda wild

[@dvnatello]

true

[@papipapichulo]

isn't metro the producer?

he collaborates a lot, he talked about it on the nelk podcast I believe
