@JewelzFin4 ай бұрын
Starting out with drums is usually the best. And I say that as a producer who is more of a keyboardist. Tracking a melody and then adding drums can more times than not kill the vibe I had going. But if I have drums tracked first, I can track countless melodies/chords and the go with my favorite takes. But I always say there is no wrong way to create music, as long as it gets finished. Although sometimes I also statt off with keyboard/synth and create a wild intro and then work section by section until the song is finished. I also mix while Im creating. Lol. So it takes me a day or two to complete some instrumentals. I dont believe in making a bunch of beats everyday. I may go a few days without creating.
@JaeFreshmen4 ай бұрын
yea starting with drums definitely can lock in the groove right away, as someone that plays the piano it would help for sure to make a melody more simple thats still fire because you already have the pocket but yea producer should experiment more like a drill, and with finger drumming it can get crazy

I used to start with drums for my whole music production career. Now I start with sound designing a lead for melody and foundation. I felt limited with doing drums since the pattern would be similar and the fact that the melody would be a groove in the pocket of the rhythm by the drums.

thats an interesting take, i think for those that do one more than the other should experiment with the other side to be more well rounded
@nekotiq4 ай бұрын
@@JaeFreshmendefinitely, also the deciding factor of why I start with drums is because I actually zone out and don’t hear the internal clock or metronome after a while when punching in a take. So I always either step-sequenced drums or finger-drummed.

There is no secret sauce. Inspiration comes from everything. Could be a baseline, could be a string sample, drums, guitar keys, etc. Limiting yourself to starting with drums won't help you progress either. Say you find a really dope melody, being able to read it and program drums accordingly is vital.

@ricardomanzo4 ай бұрын
I have to disagree here. The beat is the heartbeat of the song, but the sample/instruments* are the body and the mind. A heart has to adapt to the body of the individual as the beat has to adapt to the feel of the sample. The sample will dictate what type of beat you need, that is why you should start with the sample. You could start with the beat, and spend time with a sample/instruments* that will work *Instruments: melody and harmony, in case that the producer is not a sample-based producer.
@ezskreet4 ай бұрын
I somewhat agree….. but u can manipulate a sample to incorporate into the beat. However if you start with a sample then you have to build the beat around the sample.

I usually add drums last, so the main sound dictates everything, each main sound is journey in and of itself. But, I will say that you can come up with more drum patterns than you can get a perfect match when going drums last.

Always been my formula because starting with the sample forces you to makes drums to the samples. But a drum groove before finding a sample makes you chop different. Following a sample is why everyone’s sampled music sounds so similar to each other

Bro u the best hands down ! I have question. Can u do a tutorial on how to use the sampler with creating your own sounds using it and making your own beat tags using the sampler?

@skizzraw30342 ай бұрын
I start with the melody because, when you hear a song normally, the melody starts, then drops the beat. So I usually start with my melody. Sometimes though, I hear something in the beat I make with percussion, and it just hits hard. So, I do both.
