You NEED To Make 3 Dimensional Beats (And Here’s How...)

[@qtippz]

1. Drums - In your face/Up close. Usually keep these sounds dry to have that "close mic" sound. 2. Main sound/Counter Melody - This depends on the beat but try and keep these sounds "in the middle". Might add some light EQ/Reverb/Delay to keep that "Mid Mic" sound. Again this depends on the beat. 3. Secondary/Little sounds/Ear candy - These sounds can have that "Far Mic" sound. Keep these in the back. Adding Reverb and Delay will help these sounds sound like they're in the distance. This will help out with keeping the beat sounding 3D. This is how I would break things down. But Every beat is different. This might not apply to everything.

Best FL teacher on KZbin and I've seen sooooo many. Navie is next level with his techniques, industry knowledge and obviously... The metaphors 😂

[@DSWL_]

fact ☝️

[@dakehami]

YB better

[@JusDion]

🤫 shhhh

[@djdeathcore5731]

I've been struggling with depth for over a year. You're an amazing teacher! Thank you Navie!!

[@NavieD]

You're welcome my friend!

[@internetfase]

excellent tips as always, my man. you're like a real professor of beat-making. looking forward to the madlib vid. 👀

[@andrewkigen]

I've never thought of depth the way you explained it with the echo logic. This is gonna go a long way in taking my beats to the next level. I knew I needed this, I just didn't know how to articulate it so thanks again for the free education.

[@andrewkigen]

The major key at 5:17 is also gold!

[@luisito2997]

Your examples/references are the best!!

[@theworldstage7712]

One of the most practical and clear producers on youtube, Appreciate you dude

[@jovinbeatz8783]

This video, and the way you aproach to the subject, it is so rich. It brings a new perspective to the whole creative process of making a beat, from sound selection to mixing. Great man, thank you for your content!

[@beatsfromyhwh]

thank you! this video really helped me! 💜💜🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@NavieD]

Glad I can help!

[@lucaha7359]

especially the point you made about context is amazing! so obvious if you think about it but so important you highlighted that. great video

[@NavieD]

Thank you Luca!

[@reklawk]

A wealth of information nicely articulated & Grover. What a great channel.

[@Aywusgod]

You always coincidentally explain things I recently wondered about. Literally just today the question of differences between Delay/Reverb came up and boom you answered it here while I wasn't even looking.

[@NavieD]

🧠 I am reading your brain

[@robertsmall1657]

Originally I was goin to say “ok so basically... low pass some sounds to add depth. Why’s the video so long...” But listening to your in depth explanation really adds more to it. Actually helped give me some insight for new ideas and perspective. Thanks man!

[@mauriciorojasclaros2112]

Thanks for speaking english and not all complicated theory. Your examples are truly amazing and accurate. This says you know a lot more than those who replicate book science

[@NavieD]

Thank you Mauricio! I try my best to explain things in the most essential form

[@pankajbeatz]

This video is a much needed one for all the up and coming Music Producers including me as well.

[@mitch761]

I do enjoy you explaining the why, where and when instead of just showing. Keep up the good work

[@111official4]

one of the best channels on KZbin without doubt

[@stateboliracku1]

Reverb and delay sends are very powerfull tool and very easy to setup in FL. Great way to keep that dry signal on each channel

[@houston1293]

Another thing i learned from listening to NIN is how you can make more complex just by having it panned to the left/right on top of using depth. It almost sounds like the sound is coming from a corner of the room.

[@KingSeilok]

Haha i love the example man, this is what i need. Tnx!

[@NavieD]

You're welcome!

[@boombapsword7907]

Very helpful Thanks for sharing Navie Beats fire btw

[@OmpaLWR]

Your tutorials are clean, on point and very useful. I applaude you for what you are doing👏🏾

[@NavieD]

Thank you Omar!

[@idesel]

Always some new gems to learn. It never occurred to me that cutting the highs increases the perceived depth of a sound (normally I would drop the volume of a sound I don't want to necessarily apply reverb on). Undoing depth with plugins is some next-level stuff.

[@alexunder_ground]

Awesome, mister 👍

[@juliknlmn598]

i love your videos !! so far the best explained and structured I found. Thank you so much xxx

[@sahanfernando1974]

these are awesome tips, thanks Navie!

[@TechnoShamanism]

man, love your stuff! Your videos are amongst the best I have seen anywhere, thank you!!!

[@NavieD]

That's very nice, thank you my Shaman friend!

[@sundxwnrap]

best tutorial channel on the whole website ily bro

[@JaelAitch]

Literally my favorite teacher. Keep being you

[@recordedbybrandon]

Dude fr fr you have the best explanation! I'll be sending this to every producer I know!

[@NavieD]

Dag thank you Brandon

[@kmudorgan]

GREAT advice! Thanks!

[@victorfernandes2111]

Brother thank you so much for your tutorials it’s amazing how much my beats sound cleaner , I can’t wait to start your course hopefully will stay opened till the end of the month Corona it’s killing my bank account, one luv and thanks again.

[@NavieD]

Yep it's open forever at this point, so no rush! Glad I can help man

[@Diceicecharliebeats]

Awesome content bro u are the man!!!

[@henryijeoma]

At 6:15, my take: I think the average listener will struggle to hear that whistle. Cuz it's in the same freq range as the bells. I think you should pan it slightly to the side to give it it's own space, OR use Stereo Enhancer to carve out more space for it OR you pitch the whistle down to it'll be more audible. This is just what I feel, but then again what do I know, you're the teacher lol Great video man

[@Gedagnors]

Thank you!!! Really great tutorial! Sometimes it is so hard to hear different layers and what you showed is so importand!!!

[@ronaldsims9905]

You are a very, very good teacher!! Thanks

[@aeternalbeats4751]

Pretty simple, but so useful! Thank you so much for such detailed and high quality content! Just found you and already your fan! :)

[@omaro8240]

Thank you, great job

[@apurvhellstinger]

Extremely useful info

[@erickalvarez4507]

Amazing video! I learned a lot!

[@red0ctane19]

My goodness! You are truly a mind reader. 🧠📚 I was going through my new omni patches yesterday that I bought over the weekend and taking notes on potentially amazing transition noises and soundscapes to give my beat more dimension, but didn't fully know how to go about it without it growing into a monstrosity! 😅

[@kumlebsi]

First of all: Thank you for the great videos. And the first point of your Video (get's in the way with the Artist) is the reason why I love mixing the Artist as well. I have often times problems to see where I clash with the voice in my beat, without the voice. And for the reverb stuff: If I want something to be in the background (dimensional) than I often use three reverbs, a short room reverb for the presence, a large room or small hall reverb and a really wide and big reverb. Afterwards I take out the original so that just the reverbs are left over.

[@barrywilliams8289]

always a giving gr8 advice thanks

[@HazyJ28]

As always, thank you for your time and expertise.

[@LogicLoomCC]

Hey Navie! Thanks so much for your wonderful informative videos! Keep up the great work! Also do you think you could point me in the direction of some good 808s? I can’t find any 😕

[@prod.13]

your best video so far 🔌

[@NavieD]

Well dag, thank you man

[@peace_made_that_music]

This is gem 💎

[@slaxxer113]

Really helpful, thank you

[@GoReallaBeatz]

Wow this is some good stuff. Big like on this.

[@agthaog1986]

Good shyt bro. Love the beat by the way too. thats really kool u composed a video game. it be nice if you did a video on the subject. Honestly, game music is something i've always been heavily intrigued by but seems like a difficult industry to get into

[@jayemakebeats]

Pro tips. Salute!

[@juliosoares4880]

great video as always bro

[@jasonsimmons671]

Good stuff brother 💪🏿! I'm going to use this!!

[@NavieD]

Glad to hear it Jason!

[@illbeyourmoon2049]

Navie D should've been my school teacher ✨

[@red0ctane19]

I would have learned everything so well! Lol.

[@DoloRomeG]

Facts ✔️

[@rumble9712]

The best day of the week ❤️

[@andrewprofaci6730]

Thanks, Navie. Awesome videos. Thanks for sharing the concept of hi/lo frequencies in regards to depth. Ever consider doing a beat review? Like maybe once a week or once a month, let a follower submit a beat and you constructively critique it? I just think it would provide a lot of learning potential for some of us still trying to figure it all out.

[@inzeinbeats8527]

Good video as always man! thanks

[@UncleWintersDisdain.]

This popped up while I was making a beat this morning. Very helpful.

[@jmd76family]

Great video!

[@ItzAyon]

can't wait to binge all these vids I've missed once I get a break from uni

[@josephmaxwell5849]

Always very grateful for content Navie. I was wondering If you could make a Video about compression, not so much about how to use It though more about when to use It.

[@mariooo88]

Think about airplanes. You only hear the lows because highs travel less distance. Cutting highes makes you feel like the signal is coming from a longer distance.

[@gxxnie]

You blessed us

[@Smartpilled]

You’re the GOAT thank you

[@willemojnr]

Useful tips!

[@MvnStn]

What about samples that you want to leave the low AND highs in and up for? For example, with the lows being piano, and highs being vocals, I'd like to keep the piano up and in front, but without the vocals being too drowned out. I usually just use Fruity Parametric EQ 2, is there perhaps a better, preferably free, EQ'r that I should use? Or is that not the problem, and it lies elsewhere? Lol. Should I try to separate the vocals from the rest of the sample? Thanks, Navie, you always seem to scratch that current itch!

[@dimitribarrow7]

Thanks ND

[@EmiCent93]

Bro, thanks for tutorials! Can you do tutorial about gainstaging and leveling? How to level and balance?

[@mufcmusic8514]

Could see Pac killing that beat 100%, makes me sad to think he's gone man Welldone Nav

[@michaelsalinas6549]

babe wake up navie posted a new video

[@2looseX]

When he turned the transient processer back down, was that similar to compressing, basically?

[@Knolox]

Thank you so much I was also thinking the same yesterday but your video made it clear 🙂

[@yeahsun2549]

I love your comparisions so much, literally used grover to explain it wtf hahaha

[@yeahsun2549]

@O Great I KNOW, right? dropping gems with every video

[@MystiKBeats]

What i need... Thanks ❤

[@hulioroberto9746]

Phenomenal

[@NavieD]

Well thank you Big Bobby!

[@illbeyourmoon2049]

Imagine if Navie D had a music school where the passionate could learn for free and make the art better. 🥶🥶🥶 WONDERFUL

[@PuertoRicanPretto]

Lmao yeah aight

[@bibekpawn6175]

why do you feel the need to use that emoji

[@ProfitMoneyBeats]

That thumbnail is genius

[@thetylersherman]

I use a lot of subtle saturation across all of my tracks / busses to help make my mixes more cohesive... but I never considered that they also have the effect of drawing distant elements more to the front by increasing their high frequency presence. I think it still USUALLY works contextually, but this is definitely an important consideration that wasn't even on my radar. Might be a low-key savior on some of my mixes. Thanks Navie.

[@SpyderBlackOfficial]

Transient shaper is under utilized by many. (including me lol)

[@JeromeKerr1]

nice and helpful! Sesame Street Type beat Tutorial next pls :)

[@deadspacedash]

So my question about reverb and delay is should you use one return track of reverb and delay or can you use multiple return tracks of reverb delay for different sounds?

[@hellamelodies]

Recently started producing And its very helpful 🙏

[@scottadams7820]

My mans brought Grover into this. Eff yeah Navie!

[@marlethiphopbeats7055]

Thx bro , helped me 🖐🏻

[@NavieD]

Awesome!

[@eetzdun9613]

You deliver the information so well makes it super easy to understand, I'm using a cracked version of FL9 someone had given me years ago would you recomend buying the actual program over using the cracked version of an outdated version of FL?

[@Artersa]

Definitely, support the company and get lifetime updates.

[@UnbelievablyBased]

The example at 3:00 would be like bringing down the cutoff on a delay

[@StevenEdward0]

Solid video

[@shameersajid5747]

Excuse me navie d i have a question related to chords and melodies Question: bro i can't make dark melodies i don't know why whenever i try to make dark melodies i always make something emotional happy or moddy not dark can you suggest me something or make a video on it i tried a lot of scales and watched a lot of videos but can't get good results please reply 😶😶😶

[@YoshTown]

Can you make a video on width?

[@NavieD]

As in stereo width?

[@YoshTown]

@@NavieD Yes, I feel like I get it somewhat but in application I feel like I'm not doing it right 😕. When, where, why to use it is what I'm trying to figure out

[@fernandohafez6064]

I'm definetely not going to comment before I watch the full video.
