How To Make A Jazzy, Souful, Hip-Hop Vibe Beat | Logic Pro X Tutorial

[@ddudley26]

Dude said Average Joe doesn't listen to chords. So true

[@jordanjohnston7255]

You jamming out was too smooth.....sounded like an R&B Singer doing riffs and runs

[@stefanguy]

Haha yeah man, I love doing that, I can't sing but I can play so I stick to the playing haha.

[@anirishmoron]

I'm a piano player for 2 years now and recently have started making beats and i have to say that this video really helped me out thank you keep it up! (loved the chord progression btw)

[@huntrrams]

The way you teach is amazing! I’ll love to add some strings , a upright piano and a deeper bass.

[@stefanguy]

Hey man!! Thanks for the great feedback! There’s definitely room for those additions!

[@kevinmoreno1639]

Hey stefan. I like that your showing more of how the beat making process is going. I think by giving us an idea which sounds you use was awesome . I wanted to know if you could now go over how you set up your native instruments gear (keyboard and drum pad). I am trying to find a proper workflow. I know the new software and new hardware incorporates better now with logic which is what I will be using. Before I start up again, I would like some input . Thanks again Kevin

[@SoulsticeHiphopbeats]

Yo that beat was clean I love how you make your videos with all the chords and some information about them good shit man keep making awesome videos

I love the editing on this video

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man, it was actually some constructive criticism from a subscriber that made me switch it up a little/add more info on screen etc. Glad you like it!

[@Soundgrains]

Thats some really nice chord progressions. Great work on the video. It's really clean and precise. I really like using the autofilter in Logic Pro X to add some fatness and movement to keys and pads.

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man! I need to try that out, thanks for the share!

[@lxmusicbeats3149]

Dope man! Love the vibe of this

Stefan, would you consider making a video on your path in the music career/things you learned along the way and we beginners should know? Think it would be interesting

[@stefanguy]

That's a great vid idea, I've put it down in my list of videos, always looking for new ideas so thank you!

[@TrackFingers]

Man this is so dope

[@stefanguy]

Thank you bro!

[@micahdeanmusic]

you should do a video one native instruments. What to buy, how to navigate it most effectively, etc.

[@stefanguy]

Hey Micah, great idea, there's so many products to choose from, that would def help a lot of people. I've put it down for a video idea, thanks!

[@colinwoodall4642]

This was fire. Keep it up

[@johngachie8839]

I like your work....simple and catchy...i like it very much.

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man!

[@johngachie8839]

Will you ever show how to come up with chord progressions like 2,5,1 and the like?

[@stefanguy]

+Gachie Bryan i could do, I’m trying to add more theory to my videos little by little to see how people respond to it. There will be more in the videos to come for sure!

[@johngachie8839]

Stefan Guy that will be dope, especially since am teaching myself everything...and so far i like your work. Just bought a mac and learnt logic from you.

[@stefanguy]

+Gachie Bryan that’s dope appreciate that man. So are you coming from a musical background. Seen as you knew what a 2-5-1 progression was?

[@mihirdas9747]

chill vibes 💖 i'll add some bells

[@redsmann1]

Very inspirational.

[@JoonhwanLee]

Oh Stephen. You're still using Logic. Several weeks ago I remembered you said you switched to Reason. What happen? anyway. As a Logic user, it's good to see you're using Logic still. Keep going Please! Thanks.

[@khazamulabornwisechavalala8243]

[@rhettco52]

yes, dope my bro! good instruction, nice beat making! would add a little extra hats, maybe some nice guitar too...

[@stefanguy]

+rhettco52 thanks brother!

[@callumabouharb4594]

Thanks man

[@reven6e531]

Stefan could you do a video on organizing/loading drum kits in Battery 4?

[@Creukelen]

This video was great and helped me a lot just now. The part in particular where you said don’t settle for presets. My only issue is I don’t know what the different stuff are when tweaking. What they do. .. do you have a video explains what the different knobs in these synths do ? I hope this question made sense.

[@stefanguy]

+Patrick Morris hey Patrick thanks man! And yes i totally understand, there’s two approached, just tweak knobs and listen to their effect on the sound which is what i used to do and still do sometimes. Or learn some basic synthesis. I don’t have any vids on it at the moment but there’s loads of vids. Here’s a good on that will take you the basics with an easy synth to learn kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2iceqF-iZ2BkNk

[@Creukelen]

Stefan Guy thank you. Just what I was looking for. 👌🏾

[@Creukelen]

Stefan Guy you should make a video on it. You explain things easier.

[@HayCWarn]

thats a hit!

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man!

[@Loobitoo]

Hi Stefan - is their a possibility to set the different tracks as a preset - that they are always the same, when I open Logic? I like your organization of the different tracks!

[@Benawesome100]

Hey Stefan, thank you so much you are my inspiration. I am just wondering how I can come up with melodies and such. I find it difficult to come up with rythms and flows which I think actually sound nice. Thanks in advanced.

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man. One approach is to start by making the melody in your head. What do you hear over the beat. Then reproduce it with your mouth and work it out on the keys.

[@Mrgetdoe]

Dope!👌🏾

[@stefanguy]

+HIPHOPTV thanks man 👊🏾

[@CamiiloDelgadoo]

can we just talk about the bass line? godddd and all those melodies, i can imagine myself sitting in a bar in new york in winter looking at the rain through the window lol, but im broke so nvm

[@b-gill9224]

I’d switch out that synth for a real 🎷

[@cyberkidstudios]

you just need one nice sweet guitar solo

[@ChristianArns]

Nice tutorial. Like it a lot =)

[@sindreeide90]

Amazing vibe. Love that your making jazzy rnb music and not just trap beats. But as a beatmaking newbie I´m wondering how you come up with those advanced chords. I know how to play the basics, but how do you come up with them? Just experimenting or do you have a system? Do you cover this in any of your videos?

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man, appreciate it. This is the music I prefer to make! It’s a culmination of several years playing and experimentation. To make this type of music you’ll want to start by learning Major and Minor 7th chords as well as 9th and 13th. These are big rich chords or phat cluster chords if the notes are played together. Once you know those basics and a few common progressions like the 2-5-1 (used all over Jazz and in this beat) you can begin to experiment. I hope this helps. I haven’t got any videos on it yet but hopefully one day i will.

[@jacobwilliamsonmusic9212]

thas a sick beat man, wish i could play keys as well as you

[@jojobeats8365]

very vibey!

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man

[@tictocproductions4175]

Man I use that A Train bass in so many of my beats lol

[@stefanguy]

Hahaha 👊🏾

[@Macho_Beats]

🔥🔥🔥

[@stefanguy]

Thanks Macho!

[@sebby868]

sooo dope. you make it look way too easy Stefan

[@stefanguy]

+Beats By White Lion thanks man, appreciate it. It’s just good editing 😂

[@AnteeSocial]

Smooth

[@stefanguy]

+maNia555 thanks 😃!

[@matthewrogers230]

Inspired! For someone who is relatively new to music theory, could you point me to a good place to learn how to build those groovy jazz chords and scales?

[@ablazecustom3169]

Would like to know the melody lines concept ? Where doe is come from ? What’s the music theory behind the melody lines ?

[@WilliamPoston]

Great groove. I would add something harsh or punchy like a stab because right now everything else is so smooth. Basically something contrasting with the smooth and warmth that already exist. Too much smooth can get boring very quickly. But great track nonetheless.

[@TheWingChunGuy]

hey Stefan, any way you could show me how to add live vocal effects so that they are active when your singing into the mic and so i can here them when singing into the mic not just here them added after the vocals have been recorded. made video as always btw 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@Ghost_Hardwar3]

Sick....I wish you could go more in depth on chord progressions. My chord progressions are just boring 2-4 chord progressions. I have the chords pack from you. But I wanna b able to add on to those and add variation and my own twist.

[@stefanguy]

+ANIMUS thanks man... I’ll try go into more detail in the next vid depending on the chord progression I use. It’s kind of hard knowing where to start because everybody is at such different levels. A dedicated series would serve best. Hopefully in 2018!

[@stefanguy]

+ANIMUS and thanks for the purchase by the way, the support is much appreciated

[@Ghost_Hardwar3]

Looking forward to that :) thanks stefan

You da man!!!

[@stefanguy]

Haha thanks man thought I'd try some new stuff!

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

How about an upright bass and or Rhodes.

[@stefanguy]

+Heathcliff funny you should say that, the EP i had loaded up was Rhodes

[@kwekut6448]

hey stefan , great job there . thanks . can you help me with how to intall spaceship delay on mac for logic pro x? anybody on here can assist too .. thanks

[@declanfarrell5079]

Cool sound, are you using the actualy sounds from the synths and drum machine or just ones in logic? and how do you make the sound of the synth come through logic and get that display to edit its sound? I have a korg minilouge but because thats analog I wont be able to edit my synth sounds using logic

[@stefanguy]

+Declan Farrell hey Declan, thanks man. Yeah both devices are just controllers. All the sounds are inside Logic. Didn’t the Korg Minilouge come with a sound editor software?

[@Bashanvibe]

Only thing I would add is wah guitar add that sauce. Other than that smooth

[@stefanguy]

Thanks brother, I feel you. I need to get my guitar skills up in 2018... I've wanted to add that stuff to my beats for years. I've been using samples but there's only so much you can do!

[@masmony2647]

really good...
