Great video. I want to add to the 6:22 tip: If you don't have side buttons on your mouse, just hold ctrl + left click on the sounds from drum kits. It will do same thing.
i think the biggest thing for beginners of music production is to experiment with everything and get use to all the effects tools sounds plugins and etc that you have at your disposal understand what does what and finding out why and when to use those tools and stuff. its all about practice and boosting that learning curve so that when youre ready to really discover your sound and make some legit music youll have all the tools and knowledge necessary for a solid foundation of music production.
About that chord where you raised a note to one that isn't in the scale, it's called a dominant chord (or 7 chord). And it's not the only time you can use those non-diatonic notes. You can make any minor third into a major third and vice versa, which will effectively turn any chord into a dominant chord. Dominants lead to a major or minor chord that is 4 scale degrees up. So you have these chords here Ebm, B, Bbm, Bb7 (dominant) (no root note) But because of that dominant, you can actually move it to something starting on an Eb major because of that dominant chord. Here's an example Eb, Ab, Eb, Bb7 You can make any chord you want into a dominant chord. And that will act as a pivot point to a major or minor chord that is a fourth above your dominant. So that second chord progression could be something like this Eb, Ab7, Dbm, Db Mixing and matching these dominant chord pivots at different times is how you come up with unique progressions that sound good and nobody is doing.
@@cl9826 Distinction without a difference. It makes more sense to think of it as a dominant chord with no root in the bass. It would only be unambiguously a diminished chord if the dim7 degree was there and/or it was pivoting to another key.
anybody can make good music digitally but if you already have any sort of background with music by playing an instrument and understanding how music works in that regard youll have a much easier and funner experience creating digital music.
For not so experienced producers I don't think structure should be the main focus as you don't really even have an understanding of how it will sound structured yet. It's still good to keep in the back of the mind. If you're new, I believe it's better to focus on getting an understanding of good sounds and getting good ears.
he mentioned that but the thing is that you’ll never sound perfect if you arrange wrong. Using the wrong sounds is less problematic considering that you can sometimes get away with using “bad” sounds and have people not notice
i would say yes and no. i think the biggest thing for beginners of music production is to experiment with everything and get use to all the effects tools sounds plugins and etc that you have at your disposal understand what does what and finding out why and when to use those tools and stuff. its all about practice and boosting that learning curve so that when youre ready to really discover your sound and make some legit music youll have all the tools and knowledge necessary for a solid foundation of music production.
If you want to "use more sounds" you should look into orchestration. It's a "classical" technique like arranging, but the point of it is what kind of timbres work together, and which ones doesn't. Also, you might not be able to continuously layer 2 sounds, but you can change between them. Have them respond to each others melodies (as heard in DubStep a lot) will give you tons of extra detail and movement to your track. Also also, a quick and dirty way to introduce more colour to your track is to use the 7ths and sometimes 9ths. But, that requires a bit of music theory to work. So, for an interesting switch-up with minimal theory required; putting the 3rd or 5th of the chord (the middle one or the top one) in the bass will do the trick more often than not.
Yeah but sometimes there are nice sounds that you can’t just recreate. I’ve had a sound in my head that is like a wahpph sound and it continues and lowers in pitch and kind of makes it sound trippy to me but literally no plugin I have has it. 😂
@@visionsstudios8042 Sounds to me like a low-pass+pitch shift automation on a distorted reese bass. Also. A lot of times, don't look for a "preset" that got what you want. Look for the one that is closest, and then sound design it so it matches whats in your head :)
As someone just getting started trying to use fl studios, I say this video isn't for me yet. I'm just shocked at his mastery of the software and the selection and editing skills happening so fast.
One little trick I use for arrangement is acapellas, if you have a rapper in mind, and a tempo set, make your beat then fit an acapella on it and arrange it around said acapella, it doesn’t work ALL the time but it definitely allows to you get a feel for what you’re going for.
@@zekiel2574 plus sometimes it’s jus cool - I do this every now and again and just save it as a “remix” that I’ll just keep personally for myself - it’s cool lol
time to pop open fl studio use maybe 1 tip about chords and nothing else bc i got bored and create the most mid type beat known to man all it needs is my booty ass producer tag at -7 db and its ready to go up on discord thank you jmizza
Thank you JMizzy!! I have found my new sensei!! I appreciate all that you do. I appreciate your attention to detail during the video. I had to watch it once just to get ready for the heap of information that you gave in this video. Work first, work again, and ask questions later. We can learn all day but when we dont apply what we learn its nothing. Make a beat, send it to someone you know. ASK WHAT THEY HONESTLY THINK. Find some producer friends online that dont know you so well. They are willing to provide honest feedback. Get in the game, make those beats, and keep learning a few new pieces everyday. GLHF
the sheer amount of yknawhaimee in this video is throwing me off 😆. Anyhow great video man. These tips are great for beginners and novices but for your existing audience you've already given out this information before already. It'd be great help if you could make a video entirely on improving the creative process and workflow
I few times or at least once I heard him say “A HUGE THING YOU GOTTA DO” like you have to listen to him and do exactly as he says OR ELSE! Like no bro like let’s be honest here, he’s right and wrong at different times a bit, but both at the same time too bcuz well one thing I’ll say and this is ofc imo is that people didn’t make rules for them to be followed every and all the time… THEYRE MEANT TO BROKEN HERE AND THERE!.. but just not for all of em like here’s an example of him sharing his opinion on something he claimed “YOU HAVE TO DO” (it’s at 3:14), like no that’s a personal preference thing but at the end of the day it’s on your part and totally up to you if u want to follow other peoples “rules” or do something different, go your own route / way with things…. Does anyone feel me on that or nahh??.. 🤨🧐🤷🏻
Great video! I want to quickly mention, the root note of a chord isn't necessarily the lowest note. Say you were to move the bass note up an octave, it would still be the same chord, but now having a different lowest note
4:02 a note on that, take a look at the default state of most plugin presets. they usually include some sort of reverb, esp. on keys & synths. so imagine now taking 6 or 7 sounds , and now 6 or 7 reverbs, and trying to make them fit. cluster fuck!
Bro so I started making music and nothing ever sounded right because it just didn't feel like my own stuff cuz I was using other people's beats and other producers. so I put in the time and effort to learn how to structure a beat and learn good drum patterns and good melodies and honestly I seen a lot of comments on this saying why people should just stop producing and stop taking the time to learn, which I completely disagree with. people just expect you to be a professional when s*** takes time you just got to spend the time and effort and realize that this kind of thing takes sacrifices. I'm in the studio 24/7 working on beats and sometimes I might not come out with something but most the time I put something together that I'm happy with and something that sounds like me and I even teach people how to make their own beats. so everybody who's saying just stop and don't take the time and that you're wasting your time, the one thing I got to say to you is let them be as beginners and watch them grow and watch your ass fail.
Do you think you could help me a little? I’ve listened to all kinds of music my life but Maine has always been like j cole and older soul music, I can listen and make trap beats all day but I want to venture into sampling to make those hard ass metro and Kanye samples but that shit so confusing bro
Bro plz make a video on basses like synth bass pluck bass sub bass where to place them (I am always confused which octave to use) It will help a lot bro to the sample makers
Pretty much like he said with the 808s A4 some you could go lower if they sound good but other than low end on a piano basses will sound muddy. As for structure like where to place notes that would have to be in a video would be hard to explain over a comment.
I think a lot of the reasons some beats arent hitting is because they are trap beats. Once you get into other genres it gets a lot less "cookie cutter".
dude you should do shorts, theres a guy with 3k subs getting 200k views just posting 30 sec chop ups of these long forms. imagine what you would get, youtube shorts is still super early for producers
You highlighted the hats red and then made them stutter in about an eighth of a second and you made it do it at the exact spot you wanted it to. How did you do that part? And your use of the paintbrush tool was incredible. Explain the difference between that and the regular paste tool verses using the pencil for drawing every thing. I am only assuming you are a math major as well because you were dropping between 1/6 and 1/3 on those drop down lists like you intrinsically understood the fraction of the high hats. Any time we go outside of 1 eighth or 1/16th I'm lost 😄
PRO TIP load your parametric eq of choice in slot 10 and avoid the limited abilities of the eq suggested in the video while still taking into account the gems he dropped about the importance of the order of your plugin chain

it was actually a diminished chord

@@tomgreenleaf1918 that's true, it doesn't resolve like a diminished chord in this context
