Splice has some of the worst beat tutorials, literally step 1 Get drum loop from splice, step 2 Get melody sample from splice, Step 3 Put medley through Melodine use lowest notes for bass track, step 4 use some random EQ plugin, beat Finished, such tallent lol.
@@buckycore Splice is largely responsible for the cut and paste producers, who dont create anything them selfs or get other people in the studio to do it with them. Its very lazy and why so much music sounds generic and boring. Im doing a vid on it but I use samples but it has to be creative, I got to add My own stuff all around it or chop it up and be creative or whats the point.
Definitely disagree with this one. You could say what you're saying about something like FL Studio. Splice is absolutely a net positive, it's very easy to be creative with it.@@HOLLASOUNDS
There's two kinds of tutorials: - this knob will roll off the top frequencies. Tune this down to taste - set low pass to 74 First one works. Second one is trash
this just not true at all. Nick mira is an amazing example. Servida is another good example. Just because they aren't producing for drake or future doesn't mean they aren't making a good living off of working with other artists. Tons of smaller youtubers I find that create tutorials for indie/alternative music are actually just studio musicians making youtube videos in their spare time. Making a living off of music is really hard work and stardom isnt the only avenue
I actually paid 5 bucks a month to join bwb's production school when i first got fl studio and just began making tunes. It was a waste of time and money as his tutorials always drifted off topic and didn't teach any musical foundation. This easy way is a pipe dream full of broken dreams and shattered hearts. TH-cam is a grift remember that
navie d fell off so bad(he wasn't shit to begin with but lets give him the illusion that he was once great). It's always the dude that contributing to the problem "speaking out". Isn't that funny?
The thing I hate about most "tutorials" is they're basically just guides on how to copy someone's settings. Despite the REALLY awful shit that happened with Boyinaband, his tutorials were actually really good because he would explain what the knobs and settings were actually doing to the sound. That kind of tutorial is what actually helps you to experiment and fine tune those types of sounds so you can add your own flavour to it, while understanding how far you can push things. MUCH MUCH more valuable than just memorising what value to set the resonance and etc to
This is exactly why I started doing tutorials, back then there was a lack of tutorials to begin with and the majority would go like "set this knob to 12 o clock" and not explain anything. Things have gotten better, but there still are plenty tutorials where people really don't explain anything but just give instructions instead. See, not everybody is cut out to teach, just because you know how to do something doesn't make you a good teacher.
Damn I should've filmed myself wearing my "dude that snare is garbage" shirt, so when you pulled my tutorial up after that bad one we could've had a laugh 😅 what a missed opportunity, ah well the fight against garbage snares continues!
7:16 - "In The Mix" - is actually one of the best tutorial channels on TH-cam 'though. Especially, for beginners, he's almost like the "Dan Worrall" of FL Studio tutorials. Definitely "Top 3" tutorial channels on YT.
I will say that your tutorial on how to master was very straitforward and down to earth. It really demystified the whole process for me a few years ago when I was lost in tips and buzzwords.
nothing specific. it was more about how he explained it. he layed out a good and simple workflow that takes out all the guesswork on what needs to be done and when with good demonstrations and he doesn't ramble. @@py_a_thon
I can confidently say that Chee’s course on io academy left a huuuuuuuge impact on me. The mentality for gate keeping info has opened up quite a bit the last five years. Especially since covid
The problem with youtube producers? We are now at the point where youtubers have learned from other youtubers who learned from youtubers. They are just passing along misinterpreted misinformation while getting positive reinforcement from people who either lack standards or can't tell the difference between a good and bad decision in beatmaking yet.
This was my dad always taught me just read the manual you can look up videos people ask this person or that person but anytime I get a a new anything the first thing I do is read the instructions that come with it and then if I don't understand something then I might hit the tutorial but usually when you read the manual you will understand anything
Before watching/judging any tutorial I check of a few boxes and remind myself of a few things + Some general advice: 1. Is someone speaking in ultimatums/very tight boundaries? Seldom is a specific setting the "right one". Your song is individual and it always will be. For Example ducking the delay or reverb can work wonderfully for a porpuse but sometimes you want stuff to be washed out. So no, I won't always do that. Experienced people suggestthings , remind you of using your taste and references and basically point out that it comes down to it sounding right for YOU and what your trying to achieve. You can orient yourself to people in the same genre, especially for references but even then, it is your music, not theirs. 2. Does the person make music you are somewhat shooting for and/or makes music that sounds good to you? You don't need tutorials of only your genre, but having someone making music you dig is at least another point of orientation. You could call it "quality control". This can relate to mixing, arrangement, melodies etc. Beware: there is some people who purposefully leave out information too (:C) - My other suggestions will address this specific problem a bit further. You also might be surprised how information that seems like it relates to only one genre translates to many others or music in general. 3. Do you follow multiple people? The problem sometimes is people limit themselves to very few or only one source of information. On the other hand as a beginner it can seem overwhelming what to look for and you end up following and watching a million people. Focus on a couple of people fitting the description in the video aswell as all the points in this list. This can and maybe even should shift a little. For me it was and will be a journey. 4. You don't need to pay shit - before paying anything you should really remember that the information is out there for free. It's difficult for sure but it's there for you to access it. 5. Do I have to take the tutorial as a whole? No, you don't. There are many tutorials that have more than you need or add on something that goes beyond what you need. Others are a little too short and skip over stuff. Put the things in practice and see for yourself. Again: are you able to achieve what you are looking for? If not you might want to get more into detail or rather zoom out a little. 6. Don't watch a million tutorials a day. Focus on some things. Maybe even for a couple of days. Things take time to stick and ironically less information sometimes keeps us progressing better because we zero in and eliminate being overwhelmed. 7. Beware of fancy plugins. Most things can be achieved via very cheap means. Alot of people of course will praise a plugin by a company that sponsors them. Doesn't automatically mean it's bad either. Again: Your aim/taste and the individual nature of your song matter. I have a million plugins and use a very small number of them in my rotation now. 8. Breathe man! It takes time. Have fun and some self-irony. It's art. Art is not straight forward sometimes. Sometimes even comparing your music to much with professional stuff will get you demotivated. That sometimes means taking a little time off from making music, referencing things and so forth. It should be motivating to make music although it can be empowering enduring some harsh times too (who's gonna carry the boat!?!?). This stuff's a journey and sometimes it's more important to be happy about nailing one new thing a bit better even when the song ends up being not the one that get's you the skrillex feature. A Delay sounds cool, that distortion sound nice, I nailed the low-end in this one [...]. You can learn alot by stumbling forward. And I laughed my ass off how I thought last ngiht's beat was fire and then I realised I created something rather unpleasent. You'd be surprised how many very successfull people have loads of shit music on their hard drive. So: Tutorials only help to stumble less sometimes and get there a bit quicker. 9. People will listen to stuff they like, even without the perfect "professional" sound. I listen to amateur, quiet mixes all the time and as long as I like the song I don't mind having to turn it up a little or noticing that it doesn't sound a 100% there. Good music's good music for me (and many other people). 10. There is mixing and there's producing. Sometimes knowing to seperate the two helps. Anyway...Some people I like to get advice from (mixing and production) in the TH-cam space: White Sea Studio InTheMix (like in the video, mostly for starters) MixbusTV Dave Pensado synthet Help Me Devvon CableGuys Produce Like A Pro SonicScoop Eliana D'Angelo Music Baphometrix (quite in depth) Dylan Tallchief Tim Cant mymixlab Vulf (Vulfpeck slaps hard ;D) Puremix I hope all this helps a little bit especially when starting out. Keep creating!
If you want to learn some mixing or mastering there is Luca Pretolesi. Dude engineered a whole Drake's album, Bad Bunny, J Balvin and many others and he gives A LOT for free on TH-cam. Not everybody is gatekeeping knowledge. There are few sucessful people sharing what they learned throught the years and for FREE. There is also the channel "All Up In The Mix" that now is streamming mix sessions daily and my guy covered a lot of people on this industry like Ariana Grande, Nas, Big Sean, Post Malone and many more. Just do you research and you will find people with valuable content. TH-cam is a great place, brother.
What I dont like about beat tutorials is the fake process. Its literally only showing the cook up but not the build up until the idea, u know im saying ? They should do some videos about the struggle to come up with ideas sometimes and whats involved in that process. Its all pre made shit most of the times.
The problem with beat tutorials is that they have nothing to do with cranking your amp in your friend's garage after school and smashing out some seriously fun rocking tunes. Doing anything else is gay af.
I understand wanting a tutorial for a technical thing like how to use compressor or how to use your daw, but these "how make a fire trap beat in 5 steps" type videos piss me off. What happened to creativity?? All these "type beats" and "how make make ____ type songs" videos are not art.
The problem is that we have way too much mediocre music in the world. What is the point of making hundreds of "beats" that sound almost exactly the same? Dudes make the most boring crap on a 404 and post a video of themselves hitting the FX buttons like they're the coolest guy ever. Chill.
Music != Music Business I am sorry, yet that is how the world works. Marketing will always be a useful tool in regards to turning art into a product. Sometimes the monetization of art is congruent with a subjective consensus of "that is some good art". Yet not always. And would that art be as beloved if not for the hundreds, thousands or millions of dollars worth of marketing? Who knows. Perhaps that is where the exploit exists for unwitting consumers? "Do this and make money!" "5 Easy Tricks to Level Up Your Music", etc. The issue is some people know what they are doing technically in terms of music theory; while others just see sheep ready to be fleeced with false hope.
But if you connect Fiverr emcees with terminally online bedroom producers while collecting a small fee who's he schilling for? Oh yeah, his bank account, like the entire reason he does TH-cam. Nobodies doing this "Influencer" ish to be altruistic. Your either feeding your ego or your pocket, and if you deny that then I can't take any of your words seriously. No problems getting paid, just be upfront. Producer Tinder is a genius idea. Nefarious, sure, but there's a market for it. What will kill it for him is not marketing it boldly as a platform so he can distance his persona when the inevitable creative clashes arise. The way he's framing it is like he's gonna run A&R personally, which in theory might be fun for a handful of artists, but the blow he could take reputationally is something goes awry (and there's a thousand ways it can when you collaborate in the music industry, let alone organize random strangers online...)... Can't wait for the arc when BusyBoi appify's Navi's idea. You should beat em both Weav, you could call it "WeavR", tagline "we get busy with the beats".
My issue with most dance music tutorials is that they don't really care about the club. They seem to push you into that hyper compressed OTT on everything sound. Will sound great at open-air festivals or home listening but will sound like dogshit in the poorly treated tiny basement spaces where the majority of dance music culture actually happens.
i didn't need my guitar teacher to be in acdc i just needed him to know what the acdc dude does. Same with this, teach me tecqnique, ill figure out how to make the art, most off you aren't ever gunna make a dime off of this anyway so just enjoy
So teacher cannot teach, unless he/she has released a book of it? Sounds solid advice! Nah: Good producers rarely know or care/want to teach. It's two different professions.
Navie D just another channel I banned from my algorithm, no value provided but promised. Hot air. Only Weaver commentary makes these type of videos enjoyable
I haven't even gotten 5 seconds into the video and I will say right now the problem was beat tutorials is people take them to heart ❤️ even if somebody has a degree in it I only take the knowledge and not to take it to heart because there's always a different method the best way to learn these programs of software and equipment is to just read the instruction manual of these pieces of equipment if you buy something read the manual
@@amp4105 if you got the views you dont need cracks, that kind of brings down overall respectability, if someones gonna be cheap on software and steal it then theyre likely be to cheap elsewhere in the mix or the business too. People are gonna do people things :)
Also, if youre not smart enough in videos to hide the fact that you steal software, you cant keep a secret... demonstrating a lack of credibility, self-awareness and knowledge.
the problem is that everything is about selling selling selling selling buy my drum kits buy my stuff it will make you a better producer and dont teach you anything
everybody selling something - they just hate someone else is selling something as well - like yeah he selling you that well im selling you this and its better than how that works. smh. its all a scam - most of the on screen producers are selling themselves - so the product will suck - brobeatz really the best we got
There's an incentive to give the viewer as little information as possible and just string you along to increase viewing time and engagement. TH-cam is a horrible place to learn in general, but for individual bits of information that benefit from a 'visual + explanation + audio demo' combination to really get a concept across, it CAN be useful. Good content creators who actually want you to learn rather than keep you engaged for their benefit aren't afraid to give lots of information away. It frustrates me to see people shit on someone like Baphometrix who basically gave away the entire game for free when it comes to mixing and production of electronic music and people go, 'those vids are like 2 hours each, hurr durr'... Well yeah, but it's better than spending 10 minutes that amounts to the same information/value as reading the sentence 'a 1db high shelf boost on the master sounds nice in this exact context' because someone with a nice looking studio and flashy editing on their video told you it'd take your mixes TO THE NEXXXTTT LEVELLLLLLL
Pumping out production courses/tutorials is kinda free real. Especially in the AI age I guess. You don't have to be right, you just need to pretend you know what your doing (like me)
If you want to understand what Busy and other do in terms of selling beat production courses tutorials well look into the stock market influencers who do the exact same tactics.
Only real good tutorials i've found were from Guy Michaelmore and his courses on thinkspace education. Those are more geared toward orchestral production though.
The most useful thing I've learned from watching tutorials is learning how to actually use my DAW. I watched a lot of busyworksbeats when I first started out because his tutorials were aimed towards the FL Studio demographic. Once I got comfortable in it, I could watch any tutorial regardless of what DAW they're using as a means of inspiration and techniques to try out.
I never liked the whole " this is how you sound like ( insert artist here ) tutorial " you can watch them to learn techniques but why would you want to be just an imitation of that artist?
@@aadliafiq There are many reasons to copy the music of others. The main reason is to understand music a bit more. Another reason is so you can figure out what ideas you want to steal from them. Then you combine originality with learned experience, and maybe...just maybe: create something new and interesting. If, as a guitarist, one learns how to play a perfect 12 bar blues...is that not potentially useful somehow, eventually?
People can make beat tutorials. I love listening to beat tutorials while at work. Hearing sound selection is key. That was some of the worst advice and I’ve never liked navie D.
Weaver, you have to investigate it: is there any producer who admits he learned from youtube producers/bootcamps/etc? is there any result of it, professionally? like, some lil dump sayin he had learned his trade from navi or busy twerk cheats and this lil dump has a HIT with a PROFESSIONAL ("LEGIT") RAPPER (who is it? lil dumps little nephew or kool g rap, where is the line, whats the definition of legit rapper and taught-by-youtube success?). just asking. sorry for my french, im drinking vodka rn.
Bait and switch. Diss everyone else then provide a solution. If it works then props, but now he has to actually deliver. Which I personally don't think he has the experience or skills to pull it off. Never like his thumbnails and the borderline offensive thumbnails that are always associated with Black Artists. He always comes across as disingenuous to me.
The most annoying videos are the "How to make a 303 in {{insert_any_synth_here}}". The TB-303 is such a unusual acting synth that its full capability can only be accurately replicated using specialized emulations or clones - not by sound designing some patch on a multi purpose synth. It's sad to see then the comments of viewers, who think they really learned from these videos how to make amazing 303 acid lines, below these bad videos. The reality is, that these usually don't sound anywhere close to a 303. All these guys are pumping out garbage Acid basslines, 303 Acid labels won't even touch with a pole. There is really no reason to make these tutorials, as there are really good sounding 303 emulations for any budget - including free! - out there.

We are now at the point where youtubers have learned from other youtubers who learned from youtubers. They are just passing along misinterpreted misinformation while getting positive reinforcement from people who either lack standards or can't tell the difference between a good and bad decision in beatmaking yet.

So what are some good courses on how to be objectively tolerable music wise?
You have a team?
3:12 gh reference ?
Damn, Yung Lean looks like he could use a heartbeat.
Lol, "who's he talking about maaan?" Hahahaa

Follow me for more beat making tutorials.
Navie had a chance to go in and ended up selling more bs. Rappers and producers meet up in the discords and on the socials as they always have done.
But if you connect Fiverr emcees with terminally online bedroom producers while collecting a small fee who's he schilling for? Oh yeah, his bank account, like the entire reason he does TH-cam. Nobodies doing this "Influencer" ish to be altruistic. Your either feeding your ego or your pocket, and if you deny that then I can't take any of your words seriously. No problems getting paid, just be upfront. Producer Tinder is a genius idea. Nefarious, sure, but there's a market for it. What will kill it for him is not marketing it boldly as a platform so he can distance his persona when the inevitable creative clashes arise. The way he's framing it is like he's gonna run A&R personally, which in theory might be fun for a handful of artists, but the blow he could take reputationally is something goes awry (and there's a thousand ways it can when you collaborate in the music industry, let alone organize random strangers online...)... Can't wait for the arc when BusyBoi appify's Navi's idea. You should beat em both Weav, you could call it "WeavR", tagline "we get busy with the beats".
YEAH WHO.. Me!!!!
I made it halfway through the video without realizing he was saying "course", and not "chorus".
My issue with most dance music tutorials is that they don't really care about the club. They seem to push you into that hyper compressed OTT on everything sound. Will sound great at open-air festivals or home listening but will sound like dogshit in the poorly treated tiny basement spaces where the majority of dance music culture actually happens.
I think I know the person Weaver issssssss talking about
the tip of my tongue edit took me out
9th caught Shade til the Duck Down albums he worked on. I think a lot of people were actually hating on him for getting that Black Album placement.
i didn't need my guitar teacher to be in acdc i just needed him to know what the acdc dude does. Same with this, teach me tecqnique, ill figure out how to make the art, most off you aren't ever gunna make a dime off of this anyway so just enjoy
Alotta the TH-camr Producers without placements doing way better financially compared to placement chasers
I hear his room.
Is CG Beats, BWB in hiding? The voice sounds the same.
So teacher cannot teach, unless he/she has released a book of it? Sounds solid advice! Nah: Good producers rarely know or care/want to teach. It's two different professions.
Navie D just another channel I banned from my algorithm, no value provided but promised. Hot air. Only Weaver commentary makes these type of videos enjoyable
I haven't even gotten 5 seconds into the video and I will say right now the problem was beat tutorials is people take them to heart ❤️ even if somebody has a degree in it I only take the knowledge and not to take it to heart because there's always a different method the best way to learn these programs of software and equipment is to just read the instruction manual of these pieces of equipment if you buy something read the manual
2:32 yung lean mentioned🥹🥹
how does busy work beats have a 1mill subs, but have 1k views and 20 likes?? is he buying subs?
They all are inactive and gave up
The only thing he's good at is the music theory aspect. After they gain what they want they all leave.
KXVI & My best friend Jacob have solid courses and have both had major placements Kxvi has two 21 savage placements JACOB got a Metro & Bryson Tiller.
Hate when beat tutorials give up a keygen on the desktop
Why
@@amp4105 if you got the views you dont need cracks, that kind of brings down overall respectability, if someones gonna be cheap on software and steal it then theyre likely be to cheap elsewhere in the mix or the business too. People are gonna do people things :)
Also, if youre not smart enough in videos to hide the fact that you steal software, you cant keep a secret...
demonstrating a lack of credibility, self-awareness and knowledge.
if I had to guess he's talkin about Alex Rome
the problem is that everything is about selling selling selling selling buy my drum kits buy my stuff it will make you a better producer and dont teach you anything
Weaver i think your videos are weirder than usally cause u never look in the camera. I never feel like u talking to the audiance
everybody selling something - they just hate someone else is selling something as well - like yeah he selling you that well im selling you this and its better than how that works. smh. its all a scam - most of the on screen producers are selling themselves - so the product will suck - brobeatz really the best we got
There's an incentive to give the viewer as little information as possible and just string you along to increase viewing time and engagement. TH-cam is a horrible place to learn in general, but for individual bits of information that benefit from a 'visual + explanation + audio demo' combination to really get a concept across, it CAN be useful.
Good content creators who actually want you to learn rather than keep you engaged for their benefit aren't afraid to give lots of information away. It frustrates me to see people shit on someone like Baphometrix who basically gave away the entire game for free when it comes to mixing and production of electronic music and people go, 'those vids are like 2 hours each, hurr durr'... Well yeah, but it's better than spending 10 minutes that amounts to the same information/value as reading the sentence 'a 1db high shelf boost on the master sounds nice in this exact context' because someone with a nice looking studio and flashy editing on their video told you it'd take your mixes TO THE NEXXXTTT LEVELLLLLLL
Bro does this guy use synthol on his biceps 😅
I don't like production as a separate "culture." I know it's inevitable, I just think it's usually corny.
Pumping out production courses/tutorials is kinda free real. Especially in the AI age I guess. You don't have to be right, you just need to pretend you know what your doing (like me)
If you want to understand what Busy and other do in terms of selling beat production courses tutorials well look into the stock market influencers who do the exact same tactics.
Most people have the blinders on to other industries and cannot correlate or extrapolate for ish@@HOLLASOUNDS
Why would anyone listen to Navie D's advice on how to make beats he is a TH-camr not a music producer.
Only real good tutorials i've found were from Guy Michaelmore and his courses on thinkspace education. Those are more geared toward orchestral production though.
Oh man busy works bests really gonna love your children more than you now!
the worst thing you can say about navi D is that he is corny
the problem with beat tutorials is that all the producers making them are fucking garbage
including benzema
servida, busy works, kyle, the list goes on there's a reason these guys make their living off content and not music
@@user-th6rh8zp3tthese guys don't make beat tutorials though? These r just *music producer* youtubers
He’s gonna abandon your kids…please assure them it’s NOT THEIR FAULT.
I never really learnt from tutorials it’s more of just listening to instrumentals.
The most useful thing I've learned from watching tutorials is learning how to actually use my DAW. I watched a lot of busyworksbeats when I first started out because his tutorials were aimed towards the FL Studio demographic. Once I got comfortable in it, I could watch any tutorial regardless of what DAW they're using as a means of inspiration and techniques to try out.
I never liked the whole " this is how you sound like ( insert artist here ) tutorial " you can watch them to learn techniques but why would you want to be just an imitation of that artist?
@@aadliafiqplacements
@@MikeeOnTheMoon Reading the actual manual for your DAW is also often far more useful than some people realize.
@@aadliafiq There are many reasons to copy the music of others. The main reason is to understand music a bit more. Another reason is so you can figure out what ideas you want to steal from them. Then you combine originality with learned experience, and maybe...just maybe: create something new and interesting.
If, as a guitarist, one learns how to play a perfect 12 bar blues...is that not potentially useful somehow, eventually?
3:27 bro that post from busy proves he didn't even watch the video lol esp the "most hated fl producer ever" one.
as someone who has watched those 3 (minus the drake one I think) he is NOT trashing the culture, he's not trashing anything rly
People can make beat tutorials. I love listening to beat tutorials while at work. Hearing sound selection is key. That was some of the worst advice and I’ve never liked navie D.
Weaver, you have to investigate it: is there any producer who admits he learned from youtube producers/bootcamps/etc? is there any result of it, professionally? like, some lil dump sayin he had learned his trade from navi or busy twerk cheats and this lil dump has a HIT with a PROFESSIONAL ("LEGIT") RAPPER (who is it? lil dumps little nephew or kool g rap, where is the line, whats the definition of legit rapper and taught-by-youtube success?). just asking. sorry for my french, im drinking vodka rn.
Metro Boomin gave him a shoutout for his tutorials 💀
@@juliana.2120 whom
the problem is he copie from a copie
Bro did you really just say mixing a song is objective? BRUHHHHHHHHHH I'm down voting and hitting that don't recommend channel button. peace
Navie is pr good
Bait and switch. Diss everyone else then provide a solution. If it works then props, but now he has to actually deliver. Which I personally don't think he has the experience or skills to pull it off.
Never like his thumbnails and the borderline offensive thumbnails that are always associated with Black Artists.
He always comes across as disingenuous to me.
This ain’t a good look bro, you just seem like a hater.
i am a hater
In the mix is overrated
Imagine thinking rap is music
You are correct. Rap is poetry set to music.
Okay xkidmidnightx
The most annoying videos are the "How to make a 303 in {{insert_any_synth_here}}". The TB-303 is such a unusual acting synth that its full capability can only be accurately replicated using specialized emulations or clones - not by sound designing some patch on a multi purpose synth. It's sad to see then the comments of viewers, who think they really learned from these videos how to make amazing 303 acid lines, below these bad videos. The reality is, that these usually don't sound anywhere close to a 303. All these guys are pumping out garbage Acid basslines, 303 Acid labels won't even touch with a pole. There is really no reason to make these tutorials, as there are really good sounding 303 emulations for any budget - including free! - out there.
Pff w/e man it doesn't have to be a 303 to be acid imo
Yes, you can make some kind of acid with pretty much any synth, which has a fulter. This is why I wrote about 303 Acid in particular.
Scnd snare was horrible
