[@aitormoya6623]

Hey bro, I am trying to link you for the "collab with me" but it is redirecting me to the main Beatstars website. :/ If you could answer me to that (sending me a PM, mail... would be the top hahaha but I understand if you dont) ;) Thanks for the videos! amazing stuff! 🔥🔥

[@jennrodrigu]

Thnx for making this, so many ppl try to be stingy w/ this process

[@LDreTheGiant]

Jen no problem and yeah I wish this video was out when I first started 😂

[@allencedano3532]

In final cut you can also use the “synchronize audio” feature it helps so you don’t have to line up the audio of both clips manually. Thanks for this video L Dre you’re the man 🥳🙌🏽

[@beatsmithaudio9245]

The exact type of video I’ve been trying to find for like a month now. Appreciate you L.Dre!

[@WEUWE100]

Thank you for sharing! I found you yesterday through my algorithm. I watched some of yours and all of them are helpful and so genuine. Thanks again!!

[@chaitanyashahare2734]

You are the best man!!! Found you after searching for this exact video for a while!! You are very talented and kind, keep up the good work! Thanks!

[@yungstoic]

Thank you for this. You nailed it by calling it a performance. It's the best way to showcase your art in any art form.

[@LDreTheGiant]

No problem G and definitely 💯

[@XDosShane]

Just what I needed and perfect timing too, thank you for this!

[@LDreTheGiant]

No problem G !

[@TunzAmazin]

Thank You! I always wondered how it was done! Excellent video man!

[@RaulSupreme]

Yoooo bro you're videos are a saving grace! I've honestly not known how to grow my socials for the longest but now I actually feel hopeful!!!

[@TheHouseofJukebox]

This helped out alot broski. Thank you for this my man.

[@im432hz9]

Love the content man!!! keep it up I fw your videos

[@LDreTheGiant]

Thanks bro will do 🙏🏾

[@iamjonchau]

Thanks for making this man, I like your viewpoint on programming the layers live vs. recreating the visual, always struggled with that concept a bit. Good stuff.

[@LDreTheGiant]

No problem man thanks for tuning in 💯

[@kingkadir2932]

Man, I can't even explain to you what this video means to me. Thank you for this!!!

[@crusincinema]

Pro-tip for final cut x: When working on videos like this it is always a great practice (once audio and visuals are synced, of course) to detach the audio file from the video so that it goes down to the audio track where you can delete the clip entirely, use as scratch track, etc. You can do this by simply right-clicking the video and a drop-down menu will appear, where you will see an option "detach audio". I hope this can help others like me who are trying to learn music production during this quarantine, I'm more of a video guy myself and use this workflow hack when I edit music videos. You continue to inspire L.Dre. Just wanna spread that positive vibe and knowledge! Great work and keep droppin that fire :)

[@trevorcraker6570]

this was mad helpful bro i was already making beat vids on ig like this but this cleared even more stuff up. would be dope if you could show how you make these vids too like how you record your voice and edit it with the screen recordings etc

[@Protcenta]

Hey, What is your rendering settings to get that right sound for Instagram or KZbin? Jazzy Bubblez

[@rewxbeatz4990]

thaanks man

[@mitchellnagy6570]

Do you know how to use slicex to do the 1/4 tapping for the sample?

[@BASHAMKOfficialChannel]

Great info bruh..but what did you do for promoting your videos before you had so many subscribers?

[@evefifine7291]

I like this one too ;)

[@LDreTheGiant]

Thank you ! 🙌🏾

[@ryanreach3710]

hey L. Dre, great video. I have a music marketing question for you. On my channel I upload my own music only (music videos, lyric videos, etc. ) , but I also make beats and am really into the mixing side. Would you recommend creating a separate channel for tutorials regarding that, or combine everything on the same (my current) channel? Thanks in advance.

[@LucidDreamsBeats]

Back on a Old vids ..Hey Yo .... L fam your beat are dope you helped us many many time but im not sure about something on one of your video you showed us how to make cover art etc for instagram... quick question : can i use artist picture for my type beat on instagram or i better leave that blank . yo fan Lucid :P

[@exustorch8813]

thanks alot

[@LDreTheGiant]

No problem !

[@Jo3PO]

how do you make the little graphic at the end?

[@DDiltzProductions]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@LesleySnipes87]

do you film your screen on screen record?

[@BenCaesar]

🤣🤣5:50 is all finessing 👏🏾👏🏾

[@crakbeats3966]

Are you recording your voice audio with the cameras built in mic?

[@TreDeezyMusik]

Subbed and now following on IG. Thanks bro!

[@Lyriq2Go]

What program are you using to screen record

[@KaiWenFranklin]

Hi L.Dre I enjoyed the video you shared with us man. I am putting up videos on Instagram and KZbin. I am not a tiktok user but after watching this video I am going to start putting my music videos on tiktok now. Would love to have a conversation with you about getting your music out to the world. Best Regards Kai

[@emberclad8679]

1/4 allows so much editing

[@KennyCalypso]

Can you explain why you don’t use midi for your drums and just drag the one shot to the arrangement, you mentioned it in one of your video but can you explain it a lil more

[@LDreTheGiant]

2 Simple reasons. 1 I think it just hits harder like its a very slight difference but I can hear it but the only way to know for sure is if you try it for yourself. 2: It makes it way easier to mix and export stems. Hope that helps G !

[@enriqueonetime]

is it possible to use iMovie for editing the video?

[@gold_mine_beats]

How'd you create that IG tag banner with your name?

[@waydbloom]

Yo Dre how is the audio recorded since you’re not using the iPhone to record in hand. Is that internal recording? I’m trying to get the best audio without recording the room.

[@LDreTheGiant]

I just bounce the beat and sync it up

[@fullViewJay]

I can also use this for tik tok right?

[@jamesrobinson529]

I'm gonna have to cop all these tips! But since I don't have a drum machine, I'm gonna film myself making a beat on a French's mustard bottle. I'm gonna title the video DJ Yellow Mustard. Mind if I @ you in it? jk

[@LDreTheGiant]

That would be a hit 😂😂😂😂

[@marvindavies8973]

What’s the name of the beat in the background??

[@agnikai6481]

Does he record his audio in this just straight from the camera mic?

[@essloe]

Wondering the same thing.

[@The5ivekay]

Mute mic put exported Wav file. use the camera mic just to line things up

[@isaiahgonzales4389]

How do you record the audio? Do you use a screen recorder or do you export it?

[@LDreTheGiant]

For sure he instagram videos? That’s just the export from the daw

[@gamobeats.]

@@LDreTheGiant Okay thanks so much! I appreciate the help big time!

[@essloe]

@@LDreTheGiant Got any videos explaining this? Not sure how exporting the beat records what you're doing in the video.

[@navidasadi34]

When that pitch was different☠️☠️☠️😂

[@LDreTheGiant]

Nearly killed me lmao

[@junerye]

Delete this!!! Youre making my competition stronger!😂

[@LDreTheGiant]

Haha time to level up 😂😂😂

[@yungstoic]

Beautiful thing is most won't take the effort to even watch a video this long let alone learn this process. You still going to out work em fam!

[@CyrilJewels]

🙏🏼 Best editing phone app is Kinemaster if anyone would like to know 💯

[@edeci7235]

👊🏾 is it weird editing a video of you editing? 😆

[@LDreTheGiant]

100% 😂

[@Emotionz223]

Or you can hide the 8 bar loop somewhere along the grid say like 128 bar or so and just replay every instrument when recording 😌…it’s really not cheating if you actually made the beat lol

[@FoxIsUseless]

Who else got an ad with fake music producers lol

[@cristianperez770]

Step 1 : Have a good camera and not being ugly af

[@imlskr]

you can replace this step completely by "have good lighting"

[@ninachanelle1214]

L DRE, u read comments All my beats are on my website you got some ideas 💡 for me for a following
