[@beatsbyd]

Timestamps 📝 1: swing & feel 0:30 2 simplicity 3:10 3: textures and sound selection 4:59 Thank you Andre 🙏🏽

[@Keepjamn]

Simple. Concise. We love that about L.Dre. When we ask a question we get an answer. 🔥 Great way to start off the new year

[@davidtunestrom9646]

Great stuff!! Fire fire fire!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jubeijackson6602]

Yup, simple and concise instructions leave a lot of room for the student/producer to bring their own individuality to each track.

[@dajolo1969]

So I used to produce r&b back in the 90’s and 2000’s. Now I’m trying to make beats my side hustle. Way too many sources for info. But I keep coming back to your videos! I’ve learned a ton and have determined that you are a table and a template. Keep educating me bro!

[@beatsbymicho]

Video is short but full of gems! Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brycemillerbryce]

Lofi Guys OG beat 👌🔥 Great tips L.Dre

[@tjdeuph]

I can't believe I've spent this much time on Ableton and didn't know about the little Delay button. Lots of good tips in here 🔥🔥

[@LDreTheGiant]

Gem

[@__cal29]

Decap is the man! Probably gonna pick up your new kit one of these days after work. 🔥 as always

[@beatsbysammyjoe]

The part about textures!! 🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@XPRESSOMUSIC]

Def gonna try this on my next remix 🔥🔥🔥

[@AhmetWinchester]

Of all the "how to lofi drums" this is the real deal. It's not about "oh look here are 10 loops try them out" - this video ACTUALLY explains fundamental differences and aspects between lofi and other /general genres. ESPECIALLY that swing aspect is an eye opener since I'm just a filthy casual guitarist and singer :D. Creating drums for my lofi stuff has always felt like a battle. This video is really helpful af! 10/10 would recommend :D

[@vibreezy436]

I love listening to your beats when drawing in art class 🔥🔥🔥

[@harasisgill]

Definitely trying delay on hi-hats from now 🔥🔥

[@AlexMM98]

Perfect timing. I’ve been trying to improve my drums lately. I’ve relied on loops too much in the past

[@SamFocused]

Perfect explanation for the swing. Upcoming producers bring back the feeling to the music to not sound so robotic 🔥🔥🔥

[@drinkinslim]

TBH, his explanation of swing was inaccurate. Swing isn't about playing off the grid. And simply shifting hihats and snares makes it sound more like the drums were badly played than the live feel of a really good drummer. I find that 50% or more of lo-fi drums sounds like it was played by a 5 year old. And I'm not trolling. This is fr how it sounds, lol.

[@ThomAdams]

Thanks for your first video of the 2022 givin' up the Lo-Fi knowledge!!!🔥🔥🔥 loveandpeace.

[@drbrebeats]

It’s actually 🔥 🔥🔥but it’s also so chill, so it’s 🧯

[@noyerad]

Super short and to the point. Nice, some helpful tips!

[@JAYFLOPROBEATS]

That "L. Dreminem" flow was clutch at the end 🤣😂💪🏾🔥

[@neyoungmusic]

I've been watching you for years, L. Dre, and I've gotta say, your style is unlike any other lofi producer. Super unique, chill, and groovy. Here's to a great 2022 man!🔥🔥

[@OriginsX]

Another dope beat as usual. Thx for the tips. 🔥🔥beat btw

[@Malibuva]

Thanks, this is a great help. I'm going to try using these tips on my lofi beats. Thanks again for dropping these 🔥 gems.

[@Jah_Babylon]

a cool trick i have found is the slice to new midi feature in ableton.. i basically slice a drum loop to it transients, and then it turns it into midi.. then i add a lofi drum kit onto the midi pattern , i get some really interesting kick and snare patterns , this helps me when im in beat block..

[@hughthreetjr.1814]

Watching one if your vids always makes me want to make more lofi, here's to a great year 🔥🔥🔥

[@doronergas8078]

Loving the swing sauce 🔥

[@drinkinslim]

I don't understand why some people like the "swing sauce" (as you put it, lol). To me it sounds like bad playing. 🤷‍♂️

[@matteohamesse1988]

L.Dre on fire as always 🔥

[@RickyDesktop]

fire bro

[@bianco8411]

U are very appreciated L.Dre!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@kitrano1343]

This is dope man - can't wait to see where your music journey goes in 2022! 🔥

[@KingHanma]

🔥That was very good instruction. I definitely learned something about the "Layers" in Lofi. Very Dope.

[@cableman4260]

this vid is gem thanks master L.Dreeeeeee! 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥

[@chuckmakesbeats7426]

Too many kicks is definitely my Achilles heel. Great tips 💎.🔥

[@AkposbeatzMusic]

This is really really an amazing video to start this great year off with! So many gems to make our beats hitting this year 💪 I listen to Ldre almost every day on Spotify, and I really also listen to other Lofi beat artists but I always fall back to Ldre because his beats are always just really unique and satisfying! No matter how much I listen to them. Ldre for real is the GOAT 🔥 I wish I could buy all your sample packs🔥

[@kyan115]

You’ve motivated me to take my music more serious. Since I’ve subscribed I’ve been working on music all day, keep up the good work🔥

[@fmajor_music]

This was the video I was looking for 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@KosieRosie]

a bit more about swing from a theory perspective - move anything that hits on an 8th note to the right by an 8th note triplet, this is bcs swing basically just means the first 8th note is longer than the second and usually its by 66%, which is known as triplet swing

[@Keanu.smith.]

L.Dre for president 🔥🔥

[@Ambison]

Perfect timing, I really needed this 🔥🔥

[@badatmath.]

Straight up - it is so helpful just to go back to the basics like this, even if you have been making music for years. I also really needed to hear the part at 7:06. I'm so guilty of wanting to do everything from foley, to piano, to drums from scratch. Even a tiny snippet of a loop can help launch the creative process. ✌

[@kingyonkobeats411]

After listening to Steven Universe, I started using Hybrid 3 as my default Sub Bass. They should sponsor you! 🔥🔥

[@Elias-tp3xh]

I was looking for a video like this thank you bro 🔥🔥🔥

[@commonbeats]

Yes lad! Love this and thank you 🧡🙏🔥

[@chisomo-r3m]

I've been looking for something like this all day! Thank you!🙏

[@kylembagley]

yooooo 🔥 great advice man, I always do my hihats first without quantization, it sets the feel for the whole beat

[@dasnohvit]

Super useful video as always, and the most important thing is that you show tips using very simple things (like moving the one-shots by hand) and not with complicated DAW features. Great work. 🔥

[@01slimjim29]

8:44 fsholy the best bars i been heard 😤😮🔥🔥

[@jakehettinger1087]

great tips as always! Loved the tip about not overdoing the kicks. I always look at it as the less often the kicks are there, the more of an impact they will have when they do hit 🔥

[@adityanegi1490]

[@rxbertmusics]

The best answer to all the music production is: "SIMPLICITY". After many years doing beats and recording people I've realized that this is the key to everything 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great video🔥🔥🔥 I’ve been producing pop, Afro and new age genres for a while now but I just caught the vibe for Lofi music recently. I feel left out already from this Lofi. I’m start up with a Lofi instrumental Ep.

[@sbiasso386]

Great video! Simplicity is by far the best tip for me, I tend to add too much stuff in my drum beats. Take care 🔥

[@Beatsbyequation]

You are Great Motivator 🔥🔥
