[@basseldahdouh8736]

A good tip to fill low mid that i use is: 1.duplicate a synth or a pad 2. Add half time and play with the ‘release’ and ‘speed’ setting to give it a fitting rhythm 3. Eq everything but from 250hz -550hz or so 4. Adjust volume to make it sit 5. Do some stereo imaging to give it more depth

Before I watch it I’m going to assume and edit after 1)noise 2)panning 3)sound selection 4)compression 5)humanization Post watch: 1) sound selection 2) space 3) movement 4) sound selection 5) full spectrum Great advice. Dream big ❤

[@hands_media]

Dude, I really like that you've been using a wide variety of plugins like Kontakt libraries, Guitar Rig, etc....especially applying GR to samples and non-guitar instruments. I've been doing that for awhile and always have loved the results. Nice to see a pro doing it too!

[@MvnStn]

Just gonna grab that checklist real quick.. ahem. lol Great stuff, Navie! Consistently. Would you have any advice on call backs and just overall composing? I struggle with "telling a story", if you will. I should probably admit that most of my stuff isn't created with lyrics in mind. (Not to say it can't be.. lol) So, using bridges, key changes, and the like are difficult to formulate or conceptualize for me. I'm talking hip hop, but, (and probably more relevantly) other genres apply, obviously. Much respect to you, and thanks for the entire package that you deliver on YT and beyond. cheers!

[@NocturneDynamicsGroup]

good shit as always my dude

[@farhanshah5334]

If you use stock plugins and want a more processed sound add distortion, color, reverb, and decay can make a world of difference here

[@brianhlp30]

When you said some of my best friends are low energy I laughed out loud. Plus the beat fix for Stick Guy was dope. I feel like his version could still be used as the intro to segue into yours

[@ES2990]

Hi Navie! For beat #1, what sound did you use for the vocal melody you added? I really like it.

Navie is always helping producers, wether they are beginners, seasoned, or proffesionals.

[@NavieD]

Thank you for the lovely words

[@giovannymendez9587]

I knew it king beat got the answer out that I wanted I stay using fl stock plug in and my beat never sound how I want them to and that explain it all

[@lldj14]

6:38 Stickguy shouldn’t feel bad abt this beat, I like the 2013 Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, The Creator vibes from it

[@1andonlydasilent1]

I try to give 16 bar spaces (3 minimum that size) with my beat making... My issue usually is adding too much alongside my sample flips I use whether it's two different parts sampled (for example one for the chorus and the other for the verse)

[@basselmohamed6885]

hay loved ur vid man, but i have one comment in 10:43 about the stock plug-ins isn't just more about how u pick ur sounds from these stock plugins than just every stock plugin isn't suitable for beat making ? surely if u puck the right sound with the right fx-s it will always sound right . I kinda get what u on with these plugins r more suitable for dance music but still u can always make any sound work with ur beat if u just pick the right one doesn't matter the plug in

[@sideshow4463]

I agree but it's harder and more time consuming if you don't have knowledge. Some people can sound design whatever they want but for most people it's easier to use better plugins.

[@basselmohamed6885]

​@sideshow4463 yh i get that i myself use 3rd party plugin alot but my point is u don't really need them like he is say i just need to know how to make the sound u pick to work

[@gmeenew12345]

the depth part is interesting but i feel like it's kind of brushed past how to do it. Is it just volume and distortion for foreground and quieter sounds/reverb for background? ty!

[@sundialseven8296]

Yes but I would further advise to play with volume levels before adding effects to get it as deep as possible first.

[@Sham_Fl]

Tf was the 1st beat

[@lamarvfx_]

[@gregoryallen0001]

as soon as he introduced his own organ into it tho

[@Rehtoric_fix]

Deadass, just with the thumbnail alone you can tell that the channel rack is going thru hell. 💀 not going to watch the video cause I’m lazy but for starters, the thumbnail is spot on. I stopped using the channel rack like that due to how much more flexible you can be if you split different sounds, samples, etc into different channels n stuff. They are pretty good for looping samples and tho if u mess with the time knob and cut it em through those windows. But that’s just my process or what was due to my laptop shitting the bed :P definitely helped me organize with mixing a lot better that shit used to be all over the place

[@doubleaceprod]

You changed the genre of that first beat completely😂. I still love the results tho. And, your advice would still apply even if you kept it in the same genre

[@JulianWyllie]

Not an expert on music, just a fan. The second beat I think should feel bigger somehow. I feel like it could knock harder if different elements were added one at a time, so as you're listening the beat gets filled in to its final form if that makes sense.

[@NavieD]

Interesting observation. Thank you for that!

[@JulianWyllie]

The final track felt like that Busta Rhymes joint

[@NavieD]

I believe it is a remix the producer tried making

[@JeffMyers-ir3pn]

I like the swing of the original beat. *On the first track in video

[@Dubbudha]

There is another problem with the last beat. It has the same main sample as a famous Busta Rhymes song. People who know that song automatically compare those productions and as one is a famous producer with decades of experience making beats for Tupac, Snoop, Method Man and Redman amongst others, it is obviously difficult or even almost impossible to be on the same level.

[@LXNDRU]

Track N°5 got some nice vibes. Send it to Busta Rhymes, he might like it.

[@NOCTACRY]

whenever i have this issue i just find a reference track that somewhat resembles what i want my track to sound like. it's genuinely a cheat code to making good music because you're just copying what worked for someone else.

[@theunknownbaker]

Do you use other beats as a reference or fully released songs with vocals?

[@DYunginBeatz]

This is gonna sound generic, but couldn't you also use Halftime or Deja Vu to achieve tip 5? Simple mix in to taste with original sound then boom low-mid freq checked?

Sometimes the beat just isn't good unless there's vocals on it too. That first beat could've sounded great with a Peggy verse on it. Remember guys, the beat is never the end goal; it's a foundation for a full song.
