I was (and I am) into programmed trapish drums. But i got myself a decent drumpad and software to get into real time fingerdrumming in the next few years. Maybe I gain enough skill to play along to my melodies and record some sweet unquantized acoustic drums if I like to. 🙏
@@NavieD True. I used the keyboard before to see if I like "drumming" at all.. But there are some limitations, at least for me. I like a kind of "piano weighted" keybed on my keyboard, what makes it even harder to play fast drum fills etc. on it. (Tbh for my low level the keyboared was sufficient.) ;-) But it was way harder to get my head around playing hi-hats, kick an snaredrum at variable speeds with my keyboard. Could be just me. With years of pad training, crazy stuff is possible. Example: Basket Case (@170 BPM) - insane... -> th-cam.com/video/8rzd99SCxVc/w-d-xo.html
It was just really good to see your understanding of music theory. Really cool to see the process of you creating a drum loop by dissecting it form other samples .
Thank you. Clear, understandable information plus some creative ideas, that makes me wanna try something completely different or new - each time. True quality as usual. I bet: This channel will be a big player in the YT tutorial and creativity game in the not so distant future. 👌 🙏
It depends a lot on what melodies you are used to making. If you make chordal trap in a specific scale, you'll want to keep adding notes in the scale after the 3rd note in the chord. That's how you get rich sounding 7th and 11th chords. Just shift the octaves of the notes after to change the vibe of each chord. That's the best advice I can give you other than music theory/jazz theory stuff. After that it's just humanizing, strumming, and randomize the velocity.
Sorry if you don‘t see me on the streams but I‘ll just get into 11th class here in Germany and I‘m preparing as much as I can. Will be back soon my brother and nice vid like always between!👌🏻👍🏻
after a few years of watching videos on beat making and not learning anything this was the worst 😂😅😂😜 just Kidding this was great Navie awesome work you showed me a few new techniques thank you so much!!!
Have you considered doing a breakdown of the sweet dreams beat you made for Joey Badass? That beat has mesmerized me since i heard it and easily one of my favorite joey songs ever
Dope stuff as usual mate. 👌 a non-related question: which synth/vst would you recommend for spacey/airy/vibey sounds like chimes, bells, cool pads and stuff? Apart from sakura i struggle a bit with the stock plugins in that department 🤔
@@NavieD Nav u are such an inspiration to me. I really like ur style and try to make my own by adding some textures to my beats. Its a little bit boring to get the hithats off the gritt, but at the end, the beat has more bounce. :) im really happy that i find u on yt 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved the guides but it seems that you are going for the trap music content heavily. Can you actually make a video about how you made the My Friend Pedro's musics ? I am pretty sure there are some others like me that don't listen trap that much and found you from the game. I would love to learn how you made that Gifgang or Cave Crawl basses and such!
Hey thanks for reaching out man. Yeah it's tough, I know there is a smaller group of people that are here cuz of MFP. But honestly, hip hop is more wheelhouse; that was actually my first time making electronic/dance music when I did the MFP stuff. I am not sure whether I feel comfortable giving advice about a genre I know so little about.
I really want to make stuff in the style of dj Clark nova. he did the toonami beats back in the day. black hole megamix. everything about his style inspires me but I don't know how
Learning how to use loops correctly can really help you understand sound design and the power of reshaping sounds using your tools. In my opinion, its a separate skill set, but still very valuable.
so.. if i resume... without the mentioned plugins or helpers... which only in this videos are like worth 600 euro.. i cant really get into serious producing ...
@@NavieD the right way how to mix and master trap beat, to knock the kick and snare and not to overclip. i need to know are my beats quality enough or not
Always great stuff, man! Question...when you brought up the slices on the piano roll to find where the kicks were, how did you do that? Just starting out and pretty much clueless.
So that was after I dragged the drum loop inside of Fruity Slicer. Fruity Slicer basically chopped up the drum sounds and put them on separate piano roll notes for me. Then I went slice by slice to hear which ones were kicks, and once I found them, I held Ctrl+Shift on the piano roll notes to select all of them one by one.
Navie D. Dude! When I left the comment I honestly thought the chances of a reply were slim or if I got one that it would take some time. Can’t thank you enough! Been watching your videos for a few weeks now and they’ve been a great help. Keep doing everything the way you are. You’re a true professional!
your videos are the best bro! I've been really working on making my drums sound human recently with like ghost notes and stuff and trying to copy famous drum breaks. random question though: do you organize your samples and delete all the shitty ones? and if you organize how do you do so? when i first got fl studio in December I started buying drum kits and downloading any free stuff i can find but now i have like 17 million oneshots, loops, and random ass sounds. sorry for the long comment question
In the pursuit of loud mixes I have come to realize that the db meter does not always correlate to loudness, kick could be well below hihats in db but still sound loud. Also I have started to use limiters but I don't know what those knobs do. If you could make a video on loudness, limiters, dbs I would learn a lot from it. Good video btw

Which style of drums do you find you use most? Trap? Chopped? Lemme know!
I was (and I am) into programmed trapish drums. But i got myself a decent drumpad and software to get into real time fingerdrumming in the next few years. Maybe I gain enough skill to play along to my melodies and record some sweet unquantized acoustic drums if I like to. 🙏
I like the idea. Although you don't need a drumpad to do finger drumming. If you have a MIDI keyboard, you can let it rip now
@@NavieD True. I used the keyboard before to see if I like "drumming" at all.. But there are some limitations, at least for me.

chopped layered with trap drums sometimes but all these techs i use
True, true. The way pads are laid out ergonomically would lend itself to better finger drumming
Your drums are legit insane dude, I love how you make em sound gritty but still clean af
Thank you BANE! Hopefully you can use these new powers in your beats too now
I used to think, using loops is like cheating. Not any more. This is helpful. 👍
Yeah, lots of people seem to have this idea. In my opinion, sampling/using loops in creative ways is a skillset in its own
It was just really good to see your understanding of music theory. Really cool to see the process of you creating a drum loop by dissecting it form other samples .
Thank you Ralph!
This just opened up my eyes to a different style of layering drums
I have a video coming out on Tuesday that might help explain this concept a bit more deeply
you're literally best man ❤️ thanks for this 💯

👌👌👌 you kept it real. And for that, I thank you
We need a guru like you for Reason. Still very helpful man. Learning something new in every video. Thanks!
Haha thank you Eddy! I hope these principles translate to Reason too
@@NavieD Absolutely! I think it helps a lot of people, when its not super software related, like other channels. Great stuff.
Hey Thanks Teacher.... I also downloaded your Drum Crates... Great job as always
Thank you for watching man! Make some sweet tunes with those drums my friend
These video is sooooo much helpfull maaaannnn thanks sirf and yeah TRAP 😍
Joel, even though your avatar says Fake, you're a Real one in my book

Ayyyy happy birthday Eskomo. I shall eat some cake in celebration of your birthday
Navie D. Thank you and do it up what kind of cake bro
A birthday cake of course
dope content‼️very informative.. 💎 🔥
Thank you Jayno, I am glad you dug the video. Use those gems to make some heaters
Omg I love when you upload it makes me smile!! You are soo handsome and wise!! 😍😍😍
Kellmiester, I was wondering where you went. Glad to see you're back
I’m always around haha!!! Great video btw😀
And you called me Kellmiester! I like that... Navie gave me a nick name 🥰🙃😊 yyyaaahhh!!! I’m such a fan girl haha
Kelly Kell i legit thought ur a bot by the way you comment 😭😭😭
Really needed this!
Hahah interesting username. I like it
Big Like for You! your triphop vibe is sick 🔥🔥
I accept your Big Like Sclim. Thank you very much, and hopefully I see you Sunday during the livestream my friend
Are you a fax machine Navie? Cause you be spittin' faxxxxxxxxxx
ollolo that was awful and enjoyable at the same time, well done
I'm late today 😂😃 very nice, can u please make a video on R&B melodies
That's alright my friend, as long as you showed up eventually

Thnx man you are great!! Learned much from your vids
Glad to hear it buddy! Hopefully there is more learning to come
You really good bro! Interesting to watch
Thank you Andei! Hopefully you find some other videos that are helpful as well
I sometimes struggle to get the right groove. Never thought of chopping a loop and replacing the samples with my own. That might change the game 👍🏾
best vid on drums ever! i learn a lot from this, specially the ambient drums, i'm gonna use those in my next beats for sure
thank’s!!
Damn... those ambient drums were fire af my dude
Wow so so informative, thank you so much
This intro is nastyyy 🔥🔥
Hahah I was pretty pleased with myself after making that one
man, i love acoustic drums because i like the rock esque aesthetic, but they are very hard to do!!
Definitely, they require so much attention to detail
real life drums are milliseconds off the beat , for the live feel....digital is always exactly on time
eyvallah moruq
good
Yoh Navie nice vid bro. Can you make a vid on how to use the FPC. If you already have a vid like that please link me. Thanks for the help as always.
Thank you Jinn. I plan on doing an FPC eventually. Patience my young friend, it will happen sooner or later
With newtime, drum loops gonna be the vibe in fl.
Sorry if you don‘t see me on the streams but I‘ll just get into 11th class here in Germany and I‘m preparing as much as I can. Will be back soon my brother and nice vid like always between!👌🏻👍🏻

For that type of sound, I think Absynth is great. It is built for really airy, ethereal sounds
@@NavieD Cool, never heard of that before. Thanks!
No prob
Sir please make tutorial on how to mix nd mastering whole song...vocals + beat ...in parts 😇🙏🙌🙌

- Germany
Shout out to Germany

Can you do a tutorial on how to use Morphine In FL studio Because it’s very confusing to me
Yessir, I plan on doing videos on everything in FL eventually
awesome video as always. appreciate you
Also what are you using for your melody on the ambient drums one?
What Programm is he using ?
so.. if i resume... without the mentioned plugins or helpers... which only in this videos are like worth 600 euro.. i cant really get into serious producing ...
navie can u make a mix and master tutorial

R u into some edm trap?
Would like to see some tutorial for that genre
Hmm I sorta did a hybrid of that when I did the soundtrack for My Friend Pedro. Some songs were sort of like EDM/Trap
your videos are the best bro!

Yeah I don't buy/download new sounds or plugins often for that reason. I try to keep it somewhat minimal so I don't get lost in a sea of options
Navie D. thank you sir
Just outta curiosity, Don't you upload every tuesday though?
Yessir. Today is Tuesday
3:03 u can use ALT+K bruh
Right right, I just learned about this little trick a few weeks back. Thanks for passing it on though man!

Bro please go more in depth will the ambient drums..Like a whole video
What do you feel needed more explaining?
@@NavieD How you layered it, how the pattern was created.
I tried to mimic this pattern to practice it and it doesn’t sound much like it
Woaahhhh! Seems like a no brainer to link on the music side. Check out my music and if you dig it reach out on IG @_benfly
your voice is so much lower than the beats and that's very hard to deal with
