The Beatmaking Secret Only SMART Producers Know

Thank god this wasn't just another Tracklib promo

[@NavieD]

Hahah almost fooled you

[@viktorvaughn8007]

"and if you want to sample great, check out our sponsor, tracklib. it has been used by j cole, *insert 20 more rappers* for the cheap price of 20 bucks!!"

[@NaderOficial]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@johnherbert9171]

Tracklib dont even need promos. They can promote themselves good

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

That's funny but I checked my tracking acct and I have about 744 credits from promoting them in one video from 2 years ago.

[@PlasJopexBeats]

Love that this channel isn't just tutorials for a DAW, but actually teaches what I would consider out of the box thinking and methods for beats. I started venturing into using samples thanks to this channel.

[@mikoshbeats]

Will there be a video about Schoolboy Q's Blue Lips?

[@NavieD]

I am not sure if there's enough people interested

[@mikoshbeats]

I think the production is amazing and that you can show us some interesting techniques used. Yeern 101 for example has a really unique drumpattern/bounce.

[@ReferredRhyme82]

@@NavieDI’m interested

[@avibecalledmess412]

There are enough! And If you make Vid people will get interested for sure :)

[@DollaSignD]

im interested (:

[@mojojojo6400]

Man I'm always amazed by how you not just get the drums so clean and punchy and snappy as the original producers in your renditions but also the live feel when it comes to Just Blaze in your renditions. Because he usually does it live with pads and keys and actual drums. And also I would love to see how you sample and chop stuff up in serato to do these renditions. Because it seems easier than what I do.

[@TMG9836]

Swizz definitely McGurked me with that last one.

[@geraldricoguevara3340]

😅😅😅😅 McGurked eh? Holy jew

[@factorydiamonds]

that flute version of Genesis was Fire!!!

[@DeaupasBeats]

I flipped superstar by Luther Vandross, near the end of the song when he pours his heart out. The live rendition has thinner drums (much easier to filter out and layer over) and more of a room presence with the occasional cheer from the crowd which added a lovely texture to my beat. The quality is a little bit diminished compared to the album version but that's a tiny price to pay for that extra seasoning😉

[@erman_]

bro live versions are can be found both on vinyl and internet.

We need a just blaze producer breakdown. Great video as always tho

[@mojojojo6400]

Yessss. My favorite producer of all time

[@Wetwallz_45OT]

5:30 why did you mislabel the kick and snare? Mistake or reason to create interaction?

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

This is an idea that I've been thinking about implementing in my beats. I was really curious when you listed vinyl and the internet before you revealed the tip. You can sample live renditions from either one of those sources but its definitely an interesting concept and it makes for a unique sound in your beats.

[@amandartworks459]

Cool! About layering a kick on top of a snare drum many producers have already done it.

[@NavieD]

I know. It's just a very unusual idea, and I don't see the Mobb Deep affiliated producers (i.e. Havoc or Alchemist) doing things like this.

[@amandartworks459]

@@NavieD Indeed. I like the way you over explain contents.

[@doyadirty3804]

I HATE kicks+drums its just awkward flow wise. Leave that to dance music lol

[@mojojojo6400]

I've done it a lot since 1999 when I first started. I have always always layered my drums ever since.

[@Prod.Xerxes]

Navie can u do more album technique breakdowns? Like for Utopia or other unique production styles

[@MvnStn]

Thanks, Navie. I'll definitely be comparing the 2 renditions when looking for samples now lol Cheers!

[@NavieD]

I hope it results in good beatssss

[@artrix218]

A great example of this is The Joy using a Curtis Mayfield live sample

[@GDcelta]

there's noway you posted this recently, I literally did that 3 days ago and I can say it made the beat 100x better with the live version

[@KLVNPRODUCER]

I love this channel , man your content is always helpful

[@hisroyalillness]

Beautiful teaching over here - great video!

[@isaacmeredith9421]

This video makes me realize why older songs will constantly get sampled. Simple instrumentals are easier to sample than overly produced ones. Vocals are simple and yet soulful

[@PushaBlade]

Thx Navie! I like this idea of taking live renditions instead of album versions. They can sound dope!

[@HWDN]

I'd love a breakdown of "ETA" by Dr. Dre and a comparison between it and "itkanbe[sonice]" by Knxwledge, both featuring Anderson .Paak

[@NavieD]

I would like that too

[@mzamogagaimzeeza9055]

An amazing one is Ab Souls - Do Better, That samples the live recording of Green Twins by Nick Hakim. The live version is just his vocal and an electric guitar with light reverb, chorus and delay pedal I think. When the album version has multiple synths and textures that are very busy

[@SecondPlaceMusic]

One of my favorite examples of live song samples is the one Kanye used in the leaked track “530”… I really hope he releases that song one day, it could be one of his best

[@capeorchard]

That Kanye quote is definetely one of the 🐐's

[@NavieD]

It made me laugh

[@mrperson9877]

5:24 just wanted to ask, are the kick and snare accidentally swapped in this? Or is the kick just really high frequency lol

[@sethstone4673]

Maybe do a vid on samples of other artists covering other artists live? Like how “hands on the wheel” samples the Lissie cover of Kid Cudis “pursuit of happiness” …it’s the same vibe as this vid but there’s a whole other layer with how the artist does their rendition

[@vedasvirtue5571]

I just so happened to have sampled a four tops live record recently. My wife actually dug for the record and brought it to me. I make a habit of trying to find something on anything she brings. It's my version of Rhythm Roulette.

I sampled part of a live jazz set and bad a few different beats from the samples there waa something about the sound i liked i could not put my finger on why it sounded so good

[@allx7912]

Imma have to spend some time with my Genesis records. I always wanted to sample stuff from Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

[@billzco6137]

I sample live versions all the time...i flipped a marvin gaye sample back in 2005...the same sample kanye used for spaceship but i used the live version but chopped it to standard instead of 1/8th and a 3rd like kanyes. When the crowd ambience occasionally comes in its dope...food for thought...kanye only did the loops he hired a drummer to live play over it because he said hes not a drummer. He then just replaced some of the drum sounds with his own he felt mixed. Im guessing the drummer hired used an electric drum set.and maybe the reason the drums on the track are a little high pitched to match the notes of the sample. With that said college drop out is a big reason i bought a mpc2000xl back in 2004. As far as the topic live versions of songs(especially modern like the lady gaga example) are easier is because they use less instruments usually soloing in piano or guitar and not amplified bass,synth and drums including vocals like like the album versions

[@LUGG824]

My favourite use of live samples is Track 12 from Dilla's 'Another Batch'! Daryl Hall and Oates

[@NavieD]

Oooh I love this beat. The stuttering kicks are so weird

[@wariusgaius]

Wow. so when musicians play a song with different instruments in a different way than on a different album it sounds so different that that different version is sample worthy while the first recording is not. Call me old fashioned but my mind is blown.

Does this samples require clearing or they counted as cover versions?

[@jamespeters4448]

Funny I have been laying snares with kicks from the 90’s other pples probably been doing this but this & what they call lazy beats now that they credit Roc Marciano for making popular is something we have been doing in LI since 89🤔 that was signatures back then for us. because we were trying to sound different to the bomb squad.
