After three days I made a west coast beat, layed snoop over for the vocals, played to a few people and they thought it was an actual released song. Felt amazing, some have been shocking though, and I wouldn’t even show them but that’s how you learn right 😁 enjoying, enjoy people, have fun 👍🏻👌🏻

@@jonathanritchey2440 haha that’s a compliment right there buddy 👍🏻 people have been very quick to, try and say to me you didn’t make it all yourself though, you have used a sample or a midi, I’ve used both sometimes and then added ‘my own spin on the melody, as I’ve only been making beats for a few weeks and have no clue about music theory, I knew what a bar was and that was about it, people will always talk down things they either can’t do or are too lazy to do, I find it a compliment, as if they got annoyed by, it or jealous or whatever, then that means it’s good 😂 funny thing is these people claim to love rap music not realising that most of the tracks they listen to from the 90’s and early 2000’s by some of there favourite producers had samples in 😂 doesn’t matter how you make the beat, it matters how good it is after right ? 😉

I set "side-quest" goal practically every beat I make and I've been producing for 28 years. You never cease to learn if you're open to learning. Be humble. That's my advice for beginners. I'm not even using FL or making the same kind of beats but that's why I like this channel. That and the weird metaphors. I really like those. Those steps are true but they are never done if you want to learn, do them again and again. Anyway, nice vid bro.

Step 0 - get a computer/laptop w atleast 16g ram minimum or higher though 8g ram can still get you started making beats if it comes down to it On a side note your systems ram plays a big part on buffer size, sample rate, latency, etc. which I came to find out as a key thing of understanding when starting out

Thanks for the reminder Navie. Definitely needed this. My weakness right now is finishing my beats and watching way too many tutorials. I gotta pull back and act like this is my first time again.

Here was my process 5 years ago: 1: Binge watch busy works beats 2: Make a ton of repetitive non mixed boring beats 3: Release all of my beats on youtube/instagram 4:Realize I suck and deleted all my beats 5:Discover Channels like Navie and started over and took things much slower. Wish I started watching you earlier. Best of luck to everyone just starting out.

Great advice, and it's nice to see u-he's Podolski as one of the 2 free synths you include in the comments. I rarely see creators mention it in more than a passing breath about free plugins, but it just sounds so incredible it deserves recognition!

THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN FOR LIFTING ME UP FOR 2022, LOVE & RESPECT TO YOU G 🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥

You always throw a video that is perfectly align with my thoughts about making music at the time ;D Ok, maybe not ALWAYS, but almost always. Thank you for easy and transparent knowledge sharing.

Great video, I just started and this is what I needed! I think perseverance is important in that you can't get down on yourself for making a bad beat, like you said, everyone does - even professionals, just gotta learn and grow from that. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Navie, big thanks for this video!! For sure I'll continue to watch your course!!

Hi Navie. I've subscribed and watched a few videos now. I have to say that you come across as such a nice, genuine guy. There's no ego, you're just putting out great content. Keep up the good work 👏

Great stuff. Nice share and advice.

Maaaan... Navie is buff as fuck.... Thank you for another great video. I've been on this journey for a year and 3 months. I've really been throught the mindset of hell where you just think everything goes wrong with no improvement, until I saw a video with you were you said something about, remembering to also take a few step downs, because if you keep on pushing through making beats wanting to improve you will eventually walk backwards. That really helped me go forward much more, and focusing on resting up my mind to be able to be creative. When you talk I always listen . Thank you.

Yhhhhhhh I hope so thanks for the encouragement

Always love your honesty and compassion

You are so honest and straight forward, Its clear your number 1 focus is helping your viewers and not just making a good video. Keep making videos m8

Thank you for this Video! The advice was exactly what I needed to hear. It inspired me to make another beat today

Hey Navie, thank you for this video, so much knowledge and wisdom shared. You FL beginners vid was also great and super helpful. Quote I once heard - Talent always trumps equipment. Thank you.

Thanks for the tips Navie, You are a star

True. Many of the placements that I got were on beats that I thought were mid

Excellent tutorial. My first beats were just okay then eventually they got better. Better drum patterns, better melodies and chord progressions. The key is locking in on "that sound". I love bass and drums so this is what I focus on first, chords and melody.

Very helpful vid. Especially steps 3 and 4. Started creating libraries and recreating beats as a part of my process. Thanks.

Hi Navie ☺️👋 thanks for this encouraging video. I think a lot of producers who start, including me, feel that way. And you share your knowledge so that they can move forward. Thank you. Thank you very much.

This is sucha good video Navie, you touched on pretty much the whole process. What you think it's gonna be like vs. what it's really like, I wish I saw this video when I started out in 2020. I really did learn more and get better by just doing, you really do get caught in time wasting loops on the journey to get better, when that time could be spend on getting better by doing. Love how you said that 'nothing is above you, or below you, even the best producers use the simplest tools, like loops or their keyboard as a piano'. Music is music and there are "NO RULES, you do whatever the fuck you want", when it comes down to the creative process, you have to experiment and just press buttons, move stuff around, until you hear something you like; alright beats come out most of the time, and so do "bad beats", but that's part of making music, "good beats" won't always come out. Whoever reads this and is starting out, really listen to this advice it'll save you a lot of time, Experiment, don't be ashamed of anything be disciplined on making music, have fun, and GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY, my fellow producers.

Super Stoked for Your Channel Bro.

Navie, I really appreciate this video as someone who's wanted to produce for a couple years, but hasn't due to just the overwhelming nature of it, my own ego getting in the way, and the fear of failure surrounding doing new things. The advice here feels invaluable off rip, in terms of coming to an understanding that yes, everyone starts frustrated and overwhelmed, and it's about setting those micro goals to help learn the whole process. Also the resources here are super sick, some awesome sources for samples and new instruments!

Thank you Navie. I love music but I'm coming into this with zero knowledge and not much more skill, so all of your advice and guidance has been very helpful. Also practicing just for the sake of developing awareness and skill has quickly turned into a fun process within FL Studio. As a digital artist it's something I've done for a long time so it's both funny and validating to hear it suggested from some one I view as a skilled professional in this field.

Great advice. I hope new producers catch this. One of the common pitfalls of a tutorial is the fact that they would only do 2 minutes of research and then rush into the process. This is especially a thing in some beatmaking tutorials where they try to aim for a specific. I feel like some would fail at capturing the spirit of the sound (including phonk and UK drill). However, I do get that people wouldn't want to watch a 45 minute video on how phonk came to be, but I do know that phonk is more than just the 808 cowbell and fast trap beats, that's just one side of phonk called "drift phonk". Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Great advice, Navie. Seriously, it's not always the tool, it's the person behind the tool. Thanks.

Thank you Chase! Yeah, I know being in that spot myself, it is difficult to give advice and know that it doesn't apply 100% of the time because there are always examples and instances when certain beats break those same rules. That's why I try my best to cover principles rather than prescriptions

Ohhh I did watch the video. I am working on starting small.

Something I'm giving a go around myself is what I call my FL studio Cheat Code book which is just a print of out of all the keyboard commands in FL studios. So when I'm in my zone I trying to work my muscle memory by referencing the print out rather then manually clicking icons. I believe everyone should have one of these print outs they're free and probably half the battle frfr

Im seeing fl studio like an instrument. This helps alot not to get frustrated.

Quite lovely. lol Nice man. Good video. Finding I need better sounds that what FL Studio comes with. Finding those "Extra" sounds to plug in through my bars is something that will help polish them up a bit. Step #3 is where I'm at right now. (Besides just making beats and getting better.) At what point would you start putting beats up on BeatStars?? Unsure if mine are mastered well enough just yet.

Nice video
