I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos! Even though I make different music the way you teach it can be applied to all and I greatly appreciate it!
Elongated notes come from within FL Studio's faux sustain option...Using the actual Midi CC64 controls within any plugin uses the real sustain abilities in which you no longer have those pesky elongated notes. Plus, the real benefit of using the cc64 is that any piano software like say, Addictive Keys or Wave's Grand Rhapsody, with the damper resonances or pedal noises, you'll get to activate those like in a real piano because otherwise all you are doing is making long notes and not real sustained notes like on an acoustic piano. This is just a comment for any fellow FL producers and not so much for the content creator.
game, love your videos and thank you for all the help. I had one question though. What midi controller would you recommend to use for producing metro boomin/ future type beats, I'm looking for kind of the sad melody type, thanks.
Something you might find useful, the Keyboard Grimoire. It is an unbelievably useful and deep resource, especially given that it's one book. If you know a little music theory, I would go so far as to say its indispensable.
It's not too hard, but you need good knowledge of how to use various plugins. 808's and kicks are probably the easiest to make since they're just a sine wave played at a very low octave with a pitch and volume envelope. Any synth which allows you to automate either envelope will allow you to make an 808 or kick -- Massive, FM8, and Serum are a few I can think of off of the top of my head. There are many videos on youtube about making 808s with various programs, I'm sure you can find them with a quick search. Snares are a little different. You can make a synthetic snare like an 808 snare yourself using pitch envelopes and noise, but those always leave a lot to be desired. Your best option is getting a decent microphone and recording your own samples to use as snares. I've found that almost any kind of percussive sound around the mid or high range can be manipulated with re-pitching and EQing in order to create a snare-like sound. Creative layering of these sounds can make really nice and unique snares. In one case I used the cap of a water bottle hitting my desk to create a snare, you just need to be creative. Another option is to record your own claps. Layering the claps with slight delays and very minor chorusing gives a nice base clap sound that can be modified further with EQ and light auxillary reverb. Open hi-hats are generally just noise with volume envelopes, but sometimes they might have some tonal characteristics. Try using a noise generator or recording your own breathy or airy sound and highpassing it to get a hat-like sound. Lightly saturating or distorting your sound can also add some nice upper harmonics which can sound good in hi-hats. Closed hi-hats are pretty simple. Find or create a sound with a loud and quick transient which occupies a higher frequency range. I used the aforementioned bottle cap to get such a sound and simply transposed the pitch upward a couple of octaves, cut the sound very short, added a quick fade at the end,, highpassed it, and added some resonance around the 10k range. If you need a reference, look at the spectrum graph of an 808 hi-hat. That shape is what you're aiming for.
Anthony Foote laptops are essential but i would buy a desktop if i were you..i have a desktop and it does better than a laptop technically. most people use laptops if their going on tour a desktop top would be a better workflow and it has a bigger screen for more accurate workflow
dj doovan Oh. If you can't think of lyrics that you hear in your mind from Dr. Dre, it's OK. What are the lyrics can you imagine from his imaginary verse?
10:25 he KNOWS it's 🔥🔥🔥
it does seem like a general hospital show like at tha end when some body die
I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos! Even though I make different music the way you teach it can be applied to all and I greatly appreciate it!

Woyland

You are the best men! 🙌🙏👏👏👏
yess
I never understood what the swing did
It sounds like Who's Crying Now by Journey.
Thought you was going to drop a quick 16 on the track at the end, I was waiting for it 😂

Sounds like Eminem about to hop in and just murder this beat.
My man said General Hospital episodes, XD Had me dyin. Man, these young kids dont know nothin bout Luke & Laura!
Can you please enable your books as e-books?
So I know the video is from forever ago but did you delete the Fabolous beat session or is that just gone forever
i made this for my dramatic minecraft vs roblox video because it's so emotional like my love life that doesn't exist.
Thank you ... I really like your explanation. Much appreciated!
Oh damn seventh comment
Your site isn't working, would like to get started with the tutorials.
If u speed up the melody..it would be miami vice
You mean BPM?
8:42 oh my god... That's banging. Busyworksbeats is Guru
hello
I got a question
what do you think is the best microphone for studio shure sm7b or the mice you use
Trust him. He has those eyes, you know, when you don't know, if it has been a few hours or a few days
game i ever wonder do you use another program like pro tools? or are you only an fl guy??
elisaul manieri FL Gang
Can anyone give a link for good piano extensions for nexus
Game can we get a purpleposse type beat? Specifically BACKWHEN he's got a dope phonk style that just bumps
game, love your videos and thank you for all the help. I had one question though. What midi controller would you recommend to use for producing metro boomin/ future type beats, I'm looking for kind of the sad melody type, thanks.

Thank Game I have a project to due in a minor key. I will be applying this method.
Is 90 bpm like the go to bpm when your creating emotional tracks? If not then what is the range you want to stay in?
Yeah that's what i heard. 75-95 also lets you add more bass because you give the sound more time to do it's thing
Dre Raphael alright cool thanks
This is like watching Bob Ross but with music
Can we import your kits to FL mobile?
Eeeeh i never thought about breaking down a cord into different parts to make a melody thats genius .sick video and channel too btw man!
How to you do a setup like this? Using a keyboard would really help me make beats faster and easier.
I have only been involved with digital music for a few years. I was wondering what do you feel is the defining line between genres?
What's the name of this desktop application that he's using to make these
Alex Benales FL studio
crazy i now dont wanna learn chords anymore...
Reminds me of a Memphis Bleek beat. I can hear Jada Kiss and Styles P on it too.
Finally!!! A vid about melodies that makes sense. Thank you so much!
2:21 sounds like something out of the 80s lol
Great video! We subbed ;) visit us, too! Good luck in your work!?
In other words: stagger individual chord notes similar to arpeggios.
Omg I need to use these chords. May I please use them. I such a good song idea.
quantizer @5:16
general hospital lmfao
Thank you very much for making these tutorials, it really helps me to start creating beats. You do a great job!
what rhodes did you use?
Dude the last two vids I watched of you, just straight genius.
This joint is like that. You need to turn this into a song. I really like this.
Ever think about selling some of the beats you make??
Probably my favorite video you've ever made, thanks!
You need to make a tutorial based on the Control beat and New God Flow.
Where did you buy your bookshop
this would be a sick collab
@busyworksbeats what keyboard are you using?
Hey uses a Komplete Kontrol s61
omg i love you so much this technique helped me out so much
Do you have a link for the Nexus plugin....?.....
How do you make drum kits? Sounds like a dumb question, but that's something that I think would be fun to do and easy to sell.
Synthesize drums, or record samples. Then process them to make them sound real good, make a demo track for the pack and start selling it.

Darg Very interesting do u mind telling me where did u find this information..
I'd say he's speaking from years of experience, learning and experimentation.
Bme Productions The internet. Never stop studying. You need to study as much as you create.
You really are a FL Savior mang :) Peace ~Spice T

What software is this
MINILLIONAIRE Lee Fl Studios 12

Beat is cold blooded!
Appreciate all the vids bro. I'm really interested in this. Spending tax money on fl studios 12. Any advice on laptops?
Limited to 1500 on everything
Anthony Foote laptops are essential but i would buy a desktop if i were you..i have a desktop and it does better than a laptop technically. most people use laptops if their going on tour a desktop top would be a better workflow and it has a bigger screen for more accurate workflow
razer blade or macbook pro, depending on whether you prefer windows or osx
Pandy Productions nobody wants to spend all that time building something when u can go buy a 8gb desktop for 600$
Solo Menace thank you
really helpful thanks
Second
Busy work queefs
Nice
Nice video bro

Swag. com57 i can hear Dr Dre on this
dj doovan Wow, never knew that.
dj doovan When you heard Dr. Dre on this track, what kind of lyrics did you hear from him in your mind?
Swag. com57 feels like a beat he'd rap over to honor eazy or to thank nwa
dj doovan Oh. If you can't think of lyrics that you hear in your mind from Dr. Dre, it's OK. What are the lyrics can you imagine from his imaginary verse?
