4 Tips For Choosing The RIGHT 808 (Beatmaking Tutorial)

[@dksdmusic]

I always distort the 808s in parallel, send the original and blend the distorted to a bus channel where I EQ it. A 60Hz boost and 200-300 Hz cut with a low cut at 25Hz. This pretty much makes for a solid 808. It’s much easier though if you start out with a good 808 sample that properly balanced.

That frequency splitter is a game changer. Looking forward to utilizing this in my workflow with 808 distortion, and playing around with melodies. Excellent tutorial as always. Keep up the good work!

[@NavieD]

Thank you Darryl!

[@atkat_makabre]

For my fellow beginners something very small to add that I only just learned today, the "initial hit" Navie talks about in the last 1/4 of the video, like the first peak of a waveform, the formal term for that is a 'transient'. I'd heard the word a few times before so I looked it up and look! It was immediately relevant! Im a big advocate for learning every little thing you can, because you never know when it might help you.

[@MrEfinel]

You and Kenny Beats are teaching us so much. On your way to being a legend in the producer community

[@tryctan2399]

quick tip: if you do sounddesign you can do multiple layer for your sub and basses. i always use at least a highend, midrange, bass and sub. you can now distort any layer as much as you want without huting the other frequencies BUT BE AWARE there might be some polarity problems if you don't take care well of your mix and sounddesign

[@NavieD]

👌

[@SpyderBlackOfficial]

Can a polarity flip help with a plugin?

[@BeatsByZ3P0]

You can manipulate each frequency band individually in maximus as well but in some cases it's definitely more beneficial to do it in parallel or manually as you demonstrated

[@NavieD]

I use Camel Crusher, mainly the British Clean preset, my 808s always slap🔥. The 808 punches without the high end distortion sound, and the compressor if you turn it up will bring the high end distortion out.

[@sadpug8580]

Damn the editing just keeps getting better! 🎉

[@st3vomusic]

Love you navie have to point out a few errors. Distortion on 808s is what makes good 808s, an 808 itself is a distorted sine wave. I think this video only applies to a very select few sub genres of trap beats so for musicians looking at all genres this is bad advice. Distortion makes everything better if you learn how to use it. Never avoid anything in beat making, even mistiming something can make a song better

[@st3vomusic]

High end in a bass sound is not a bad thing it’s all bout mixing the sound well with the other sounds

[@NavieD]

The point I was making is that distorting a sin wave, and moving it away from a perfect sin shape, has an effect on how much low end it generates. And that people should be aware of this.

[@st3vomusic]

@@NavieD Video was good overall bro, I have just been making a lot of house music recently and I have been noticing the difference in the way 808s are used. In trap sub bass is the main goal with 808s, where as trap music is more driven by moog style sub bass. Learned a lot from you over the years and I have massive respect for you, apologies if it came across snarky

I know this is a wild idea, but have you tried not using an 808? Edit: 11:52 see, 808 isn’t always the answer, in fact outside of modern trap it’s rarely the answer.

if you bring in a seperate kick and stick to one pitch wouldnt that introduce some phase issues or conflicting pitches? if not what do you tune the kick to?

How did you know

[@AR4BMoney]

PLS HELP: Are there settings that can be adjusted so that an 808 sample changes pitch according to where it is placed on the piano roll, without the length of the sample changing? In other words, so that my 808s on higher notes ring out as long as the ones that are on lower ones. (Without using the stretch Mode, the 808 sounds in stretch Mode like 🤮) When i listen to Tracks from lil baby or someone else, the 808 always has the same length, even if its played at first at c5 and then on a5
