going on 13 years producing, with the emulation, I would actually advise to remake songs from producers you like as a learning tool on off days or when you don't have inspiration to create something. Because it's the most in depth way of learning how a certain sound was achieved and in recreating it, those techniques become a part of your skill quite easily. Especially within the edm space it really teaches you how to utilize your vst to create a certain say lead or pad rather than just using a preset. You'll also find yourself mixing differently or processing a sound differently to achieve what you're trying to create. You'll learn different patterns, rhythms and a lot of things that will be in your arsenal when you create your own stuff. More often than not when I've done this, I've found a lot of sounds or energies were much easier to achieve than I realized and that has only made it much easier to find my sound. Also, if you're not someone who produces everyday, it's a nice way to just practice.
Thx so much bro I’ve just started making beats and I was thinking is finding free loops off somewhere and adding my own drums and chords to it is a good idea to start out?
6 month old producer here. I want to share some of the things i've realized too. Making beats is making music and making music doesn't necessarily have a formula. There is no formula for how to make a good beat, there are techniques and formulas for certain styles of music but there isn't any criteria your music needs to follow for it to be good. How does that help you? well it means that if you're just going in to your DAW and doing whatever, without any ideas you cant expect a magical beat to be made for you. Expectations in a huge thing that i feel we get stuck on, we think that after a certain ammount of practice we should be able to make bangers day in day out. But it really isnt like that at all. The reality is, you win some and you lose some, same thing with music, some tracks will be more favourable and others not so much. Keep that in mind :)
13 years into producing & what you say rings true! Being eclectic in taste & absorbing everything will be a foundation for synthesizing a signature sound. Persistence pays off I have a whole album, a studio & making a career out if it takes time & dedication
I just did jazz standard remake!!! And by the time I got ready to track vocals I stripped a lot of parts out so she won’t be drowned and after her vocals was laid I added the ear candy!!!
Definitely an advantage to know the DAW inside out and music theory. I won’t start serious beat making until I complete that task. That way if my beats suck, it’s all me 😢 lol Another key point I believe is..if you don’t schedule that shit in or have a solid music study plan. It’ll slow the learning process. I’ve still a long way to go, and have far from producing serious beats. Good luck yallz!
It would be dope to hear Ocean in some tv shows and movies or maybe even animation one day! Imagine an Ocean beat to a fight sequence in your favorite anime. 🔥
hi ocean, a make beats for a long time and I release them on platforms instead of selling them, I think having someone to at least listen to it makes me happy that someone might like it, but I don't know if I'm okay with my beats, or if they're not at the "necessary level" To be something good to hear, I spend hours watching you and others making beats to improve my ideas, I thank you so much for your content here on TH-cam. stay safe
One observation, I realize that a lot of mainstream music doesn't have the same vibe as a lot of producers here on TH-cam, it saddens me to know that people don't have a sense of art, you know? just because "the 808 is distorted " or " why are there no lyrics in the song?", the old songs were basically orchestra, and even today it conveys a lot of feeling, I want that vibe for my music
Love your channel Ocean! I've been a classical musician since I was young, and studied classical music performance in college, but a few years ago I burnt out of the orchestra lifestyle, and in 2023 I discovered how passionate I am about music production. I love fusing elements from different genres together, like cinematic music and hiphop/trap music together, but really a hybrid of any multiple genres together. I wish TH-cam didn't have their loudness normalization threshold set to -14 LUFS. Wish it was louder around -8 LUFS like SoundCloud.
Hey bro love your vids I've been producing for about 8 years aswell, you should try waves Clarity Vx De-reverb on your vocals in this vid I think it'd make a huge difference
Forgive me if this is a silly question. I already own a full sized Yamaha Clavinova that has midi in and out ports. Can I use this as a Midi Controller?
You have to sell out to get to the top. There were a lot more better producers than timbo so why was he at the top? Just like tekashi 69 said the industry is rigged. He openly said there are rappers way better than him. But they will never have the money or position 69 got because the industry is rigged bro. You have to sell out to get there no matter how good you are...

That's how most musicians do. Cover songs they know first.

DAMN you producing at 6 months old? the grind starts too young nowadays smh
👼
@@xCrxmzx im dying 😂
There's def a formula my guy 💀💀
my brother, the big pimpin' sample is not bollywood. It's the Egyptian singer Abdelhalim Hafez, It's a song called Khosara Khosara.
Ok 🤷♂️
I find making music therapeutic. It's like an itch that needs scratching. Great advice 👍

I agree 👍

Issa journey, takes time and effort 💬
Big ups Ocean! Agree with all the points here frfr! Been following you since 2018. Amazing to watch your progress. 🙏💜🙌
Well said Ocean! You are the reason I started producing 5 years ago

Man said Bollywood don’t disrespect us Egyptians 😭😭😭
😂
Thanks ocean
great video brother!!
Hey bro love your vids I've been producing for about 8 years aswell, you should try waves Clarity Vx De-reverb on your vocals in this vid I think it'd make a huge difference
Do it for the love of the music, not the money… treat the music right and it’ll treat you right back
I’ve got logic but that thing crashes all the time on me, uses a lot of cpu as well. Have you tried other daws, not fl 😅
Forgive me if this is a silly question. I already own a full sized Yamaha Clavinova that has midi in and out ports. Can I use this as a Midi Controller?
Love these videos keep them coming, but just to clarify one little thing, that sample in the beginning wasn't indian, it's actually an Egyptian song.
Bro, how can I get my Chanel working for people to hear the music and my teachings with clear audio and to view the daw. Newby here lol
I might be the only one that does everything in pro tools and reaper
😂😂😂😂i feel lonely for not having the standard daws
coool
Professional yapper
Like EdTalenti has once said, "Stay positive, and positive things will happen"
I would not say in any way that people who kept producing on hardware were left behind
Bro! you still DJing?
One thing about ocean he’s gonna advertise his products one way or the other #marketing101 🙂✅✅

Or you could use suno. It’s over for musicians, artists, producers and songwriters. AI is going to make them redundant.
