I genuinely only make music in the night. It doesnt matter how alone I am, in the night im just able to think more clearly and be less distracted and more motivated.

I came into hiphop production from a technical death metal and concert piano background. My beats were complex and progressive when I first started but had tons of clashing elements with rapidly evolving melodies that were impossible to wrap your brain around. It took years to slow down and simplify, get an ear for sound selection and learn to mix and master at least moderately well. Eleven years in and I'm still learning. Never give up.

The exact same thing happened to me, it was a real struggle learning to simplify my beats because my brains were so used to the musical technicality. I still make more complex and progressive beats from time to time but very differently now that ive learned to slow down.

I've been making beats for years and I just found out that I already know all these tips from my own experience. When I started, I obviously didn't know anything (I knew music theory but that's it), and I felt completely lost, so I didn't even know where to start, how to close "the gap" or which program should I use. Now that I'm watching this video, I have realised that I already know everything I need to get better, and I didn't expect to learn it all by myself when I started making beats. So for those of y'all who are starting in the beatmaking world, listen to this dude, he knows his shit lol

From first-hand experience, making everything yourself doesn't come from shame and guilt, making everything yourself comes from *broke.*

Naive D, i just wanted to say that you are a big inspiration for me to make beats. I usually make future bass/trap metal beats but your unique sampling intrigued me. Thank you. Keep improving on your videos and keep being positive it brings so much to us the viewers.

Great tutorial Bro 🤝

I recently started to overcome the wall. No more feeling shame about my music being "too simple" or "not sounding unique". Just keep it mostly idiomatic, and do what works. I've learned that this drive that pushes us to make our art "unique" or "complex" is actually an egotistical need. We put our own needs above the needs of our art.

This Video comes to a perfect Timing. Last days the Beat Block Hits hard (love the mistakes to avoid section) and the Wall explaination. Again high qualitati Content 👌🏽

If you don’t feel like making music. You could Just work on your drum kits or find samples to put away for later. Often you’ll become inspired and start working on something.

The part about DAWs also goes for plugins. I think it is wise to choose some go-to-plugins

You are a legend, sir. A lot of what you mention here is why I quit making beats many moons ago. I love how self-aware you are, because as Bruce Lee said, all knowledge is ultimately self-knowledge, and vice versa. Meaning, the more you know yourself the more others can relate to you, because we're not as different as society wants us to think we are. Quick question, I'm currently LITERALLY at rock bottom, and have a pretty shitty laptop my job centre gave me 😂. Do you think I should hold out for a better cpu, or do you think there is a program my cpu can handle, which at the same time is comprehensive enough to accommodate my needs (I'm the boombap guy)? Quick note, i love plugins that lend a gritty hip hop feel. I used to use fl studio which is pretty plugin friendly.

Imo Ableton would be the best option for people who like to be more experimental and want to make unique arrangements and sound design. FL would the best option for the people who really care about the step sequencer and the piano roll. There's also Reaper and it's practically completely free, it's better for mixing than for producing but it's still a daw that you could work with.

I say that my music sounds like hot garbage without headphones or decentish speakers. really makes a big difference for some music.

@matthewthemartian

27 күн бұрын

I would think that allowing people to listen and give you constructive criticism or their opinion would be very helpful BUT also consider the people you are showing the beats to and their musical background. For instance one friend may really enjoy country songs while the other one enjoys only rock or rap, in which case each friend may be slightly biased to the perspective on genres they listen to, such as one person may appreciate the "bells and whistles" and one may believe they make the beat sound harsh. So basically what I'm saying is that it's a great idea to show people your beats but also keep a strong focus on what YOU like and never forget that these are YOUR beats from YOUR mind. If it sounds good to you then it will sound good to a thousand more people.
