Music Production Process & Beat Making EXPLAINED (Uncut With Commentary)

[@StudioBleenk]

I really appreciate you putting up the uncut and raw process. I love watching other producers ideation stage.

[@BradwrMedia]

Legit just bought myself that exact mpk mini 3, not done music production since college about 7 years ago due to monetary constraints but finally got myself a mac book for garage band and logic, so excited to get back on it. Love the videos my man!

[@Taetro]

stoked your able to start making some music again. Thanks for watching!

[@vidismax]

just searched that type of video, thank You very much!!! (Uncut With Commentary) - this is the best, full real process.

[@bogdanconstantinbudai2910]

Taetro, I have recently discovered you while researching the Akai MK3 Mini controller and stumbled upon your video. Since then I started watching more of your videos (yes, yes - I have liked them and subscribed already :P )and I have to tell you that I am really grateful for the content you're creating. I find your videos very easy to follow and rich in information; also the way you make the into is so warm and nice!

[@BodieMoto]

I think you have convinced me to finally learn ableton and get a mk3, ive been dawless since starting my music production journey and I just feel like I NEED more options now that I know exactly what I do and dont want to do. Before I learned to make beats on the sp404 and po33 I was so intimated by DAWs. Now that I understand how I want to build a beat, you making videos like this that show the entire process of making is basically the stand bridge between me being timid about getting into ableton and now being very excited to build with the freedom it brings. I am sure you hear this alot but these videos are worth way more than the statistics show!

[@nazathestampede1118]

bro i just found your page yesterday and im already learning so much from you. i used to be an FL guy like 10 years ago, but lately i only been playing drums. im gonna buy ableton and a launchkey mini on friday and try to follow along with you on these types of videos. youre a beast.

[@claudiog7480]

Love that format as it feels like sitting next to you, watching and learning from your experience. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@gutterchildaz]

This type of video is awesome! I found your channel because I just bought the akai pro mpk mini mk3 and I'm trying to learn with the fee mpc beats program. I'd love to have a video where you do this same process only using what came with the mpk mini mk3 to show how beginners like me might work in that environment before we make the jump to something more pricey like Ableton or FL studio. Also maybe a video showing how to work with MPC beats like you do in Ableton that would be helpful I think for a lot of people with how popular the mpk mini is. Also your videos are so easy to follow and I don't think there is anything like I've described above yet at least that I've been able to find so far. No worries if this is a weird ask do what you like just wanted to give a thought.

[@Taetro]

Sounds like a good idea! Thank you for watching 😁

@@Taetro sweet keep up the great work with the videos!

[@bluch251]

[@coloursandcloudsmusic]

Loved this video. Its great to see the way other producers work. Helps inspire fresh ways of working to stop my music making process becoming static.

[@crookedrain771]

Your definitely my guy for learning daw. I have a little tiny interface for my iPhone and a old casino keyboard that I do lo-fi beats and instrumental string music to. I use a bunch of ambient guitar pedals also BUT I’m getting my new place and I want to start using Daw. Can’t wait.

[@CraigMcNutt]

Working my way through the video bit by bit.. Very informative stuff. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to see how it ends, as for me the challenge is to take the short idea and make it into a full product, and not get stuck making 8 bar loops over and over.

[@calllistotechMCFN]

THANK YOU man, really appreciate this. Makes learning all the basics so much easier! It's the software tricks and shortcuts that make all the difference

[@lincelukose4683]

appreciate the effort brother, put in on this video, there is one question if you can help me out on this, as you know we have eight knobs in our akai mini mpk3 mini midi keyboard, is it possible that some how we could use more than eight knobs using prog change/prog select buttons on our midi controller, for more parameter control, looking forward to your kind help , my seven month ago comment was also not answered, hope this will get your kind consideration brother, need your help

[@robinlewisart_1997]

Thank you this was amazing .

[@tafkans]

like always - this is so nice to watch - I'm a beginner with a launchkey Mini - never got music lessons nor experience in creating music, but your movies are motivating me to learn Ableton (and I also got a Melodic subscription to learn playing keys). This type af movies show how a song is born (I real .. ). The lockdown in Belgium (caused by COVID 19), is giving me some free time (otherwise I always ahave a very busy schedule - but now plenty of free time to learn something new :-) )

thanks Matt!

[@benjtheo414]

I hope you stil look at older videos, I really enjoy these type of commentary and beat making videos, I hope you have more I will look for it. I have a question. At around 4:28 you stop the recording by pressing some button? How did you do it such that I stopped perfectly at the end of the bar. I haven't managed to fined it and I always manually adjust the loop duration which is kind of a pain to be honest.

[@Tyra.White55]

Awesome work!!! 🙌🎼 & I love what you do!!! 💪💙🎧🎹

[@joep1780]

Video on your Mastering Chain! You have an older vid on your basic processing chain, but what are you using on your master? I usually don't have issues with beats or ideas, but get stuck at the mastering end of a track. Many unreleased projects have died trying to get across the finish line. Your process seems to be streamlined for fast production because of the nature of your channel. I think many musicians can benefit from the "Get it out there" mentality but also has to sound good.

[@adityaverma8474]

Loved it!!

[@chuecoxx]

Nicely done. Question: at what point do you feel like you are getting the beat too saturated, in the sense that you can't distinguish some of the instruments? for example, the harp sound was interesting, but it got lost in the middle of the way.

[@Bruxedo]

Hi! Im very curious about one thing... Can you tell why do you use the JBL speaker? I always heard its not good for music production... Is there any particular reason you use it? Thank you so much ! :)

[@vanshrathore4289]

Kindly make a video on how to use cc button in akai mpk mini mk3 plz?

[@soguy]

Great video. When you shoot the final version, do you quantize during recording?

[@playmakersmusic]

This video is so inspiring! I just want to ask, how do you tap everything in time? I struggle with writing music in time, so I would usually use a drum rack to program my drums rather than just tapping them. Is there a way to practice this? Thank you.

[@Taetro]

Practice practice practice. There’s a cool app called Melodics you can try for learning finger drumming

[@playmakersmusic]

@@Taetro Thank you so much Taetro! I honestly didn't know you would reply, but you comment gives me hope!

[@sinnvois]

@@Taetro Agreed, melodics improved my finger drumming a lot. After a month of training I'm doing things I never thought I could

[@ryanashing7139]

How do you come with up ideas? I seen to get a beat block like everyday.

[@Taetro]

No such thing as beat block. Just means your putting pressure on yourself to come up with the ‘RIGHT’ idea. There are no right ideas. start working on instinct and care less about coming up with a good/right idea

"I'm so fast with the undo button" ... is there a way to midi map undo? Or are you just pressing command/control + z on your laptop?

Aaaannndddd then you explain it 2 seconds later. 😆 I'm quick with the 1 handed ctrl + z too, but I could be even more efficient if I could just press a single key on the midi, so I'm still curious on this. 🤔
