This video is so neat. Fantastic overview! The part about tuning the kicks and 808 is much needed. I'm sending people over to this video whenever they ask about tuning drums.
the In The Mix Channel is also soooo important to the producer community , good to see the guys i watch bigging each other out......GUYs i recommend you Subscribe ^^^^^^^
Weak. All of you paint by numbers "producers" suck balls. If you are using presets, sample packs, drums created by someone else, you are not an artist. You are a consumer. What you are doing is one step above playing video games. Sucks that there are so many of you goons out there these days. In the 90s, it meant something to be a producer, and it required dedication, because you had to spend a few thousand dollars just to get a decent sampler. Now you clowns download cracked FL Studio and a bunch of drum packs, plugins, etc and drag and drop every component of your "music." If this is what you are doing, your beats are garbage and you're a fraud. I don't care how many suckers jock it.
@@NachtSchreck13 If you use a DAW you are not a real musician. DAWs just give all the layering and audio tracks to you. If you use an instrument you are not a musician. They make all the sounds for you. i can go on
You know what i really like about Decap is that he's one of the only producers that realizes that there are no rules to this music shit. If you're going for a particular sound then feel free to follow where the music takes you no matter how weird
Bro I been preaching this shit on Facebook for years. That percieved loudness part is that gem right there. The whole video is a gem. Thanks for sharing bro.
i love how you tell us to have fun... im train parkour and thats my number one rule i tell people that wanna start it! i always forget this when making music so thank u for being so kind
I honestly thought you are one of those chaddy youtubers who will "change my life as a producer" with one video but this actually very solid knowledge presented in an orderly manner. Thank you!
Crazy. All i had to do was add the Saturator and it made a crazy difference! I noticed when i even side chained it wasn't doing shit. I added the saturator and dialed it up a little bit and its punches so hard now!
Good tips have been applying some of this to my drums in FL Studio. Sidechaining the melody to the kick is golden and I know this applies to a track with only a 808. I'm trying to get better with sound design thanks again.
I used to have Illmind blapkits for drums, but now i replaced them with yours! 'Pop kick' from 6 is just perfect for me.. i usually dont mix it besides sidechain. Cool to see the actual mixxing behind it, but for kicks i like em ready!
My man Decap! Your drum kits are one of the best for modern hip hop production for sure! I just can't get enough of those kicks that stomp your chest and snares that slap the shit outta you haha.
I just started out using Ableton Live and man, thanx for the advice. No Rules, it really is very inspiring. Definitely subscribing and getting that plugin soon.
I heard from a puppet that if you manually side chain your kicks and snares come out louder because it’s pre-active rather than re-active like side chain compressor does after the fact.
Many thanks for the content! I haven't worked on a beat in some months, but I'm starting to get that lil tingling feeling in my stomach again. That inspiration kicking in!
Yo your the goat, quick question Idk if you’ve been asked before but can you make video about how to make melodies like the one playing in the background or for “Issa bounce”
just discovered this: put a drum sample into a sampler device, throw a lowpass filter and put it on "OSR" mode, put the drive up a lil bit and play with the cutoff, and then add the "sine" shaper and play with it until your transient sounds right. k n o c k
Decap is honestly my most favorite hip hop producers right now, even being a house producer mainly using his drums help my percussion and when i do make hip hop these vids really help me
bro. since when have you been doing tutorials? you're one of my favorite producers. caught me SLIPPIN. going to watch all of these, keep up the amazing work dude, love your shit.
@Decap would you mind doing an in-depth tutorial on how to properly use swing on instruments and drums in order to create a “nasty” bounce so to speak?
Dope! Dude, what I would LOVEEEE is if you could walk us through snare design from scratch. I LOVE sound design, but coming up with original drums is probably the toughest part of it. I definitely dont want you to share too many of your secrets, but any tips would be amazing :) Thanks man!
Experiment. You have access to the tools. Instead of trying to bite someone else's technique, why not come up with your own way of doing things? Be unique. That's what art is all about. It's not about copying what this guy or that guy is doing and sounding as close to them as possible. It's about finding your own expression, and that means developing your own techniques.
Decap man really dig the videos and the FK movement! I can see the hours you spent to get here, and you always motivate me to produce ever since meeting you at an SF Ableton beat sesh. Keep it up!
Im still getting to grips with tuning my kickdrums to the rest of my track. Sometimes when I tune them correctly, they will be in key but sounding weaker depending on the dominant frequencies shifting up or down. Pain in the back side but il get there!
bro thanks other the 59 second intro I found the video more than helpful. Well explain and to the point. I really appreciate that there were no mmmmm or doubts in your speech. well edit video. thanks for the info. Please keep up the good work just the music on the background throws your voice off
Download my new plugin KNOCK - the only plugin you need to make your drums knock: pluginsthatknock.com
TRULY tho.
This works so well.
Used it for very short clean DnB drums today, not just useful for HipHop/Trap (but especially)
This video is so neat. Fantastic overview! The part about tuning the kicks and 808 is much needed. I'm sending people over to this video whenever they ask about tuning drums.
Thanks bro 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Is there a more in depth video he dropped the knowledge but not the technique
Bro i was lookin for a tutorial on how "make my drums knock like decaps" and boom i get a tutorial from the man himself I love you brooo 😭😭
0:58 soft clipping
2:09 saturation
3:07 strategic eq
3:37 tune your sounds
4:18 transient shaping
4:44 rms metering
5:52 sidechain compression
So am guessing this is also in order of operation?
FINALLY somebody who's giving Ableton Live tips about Hip Hop and not EDM
What do people usually use to make hip hop then?
Danny Aghdam FL Studio
Danny Aghdam Native Instruments
berzerk0912 that’s not a daw tho that’s a vst company
EightOhEight really? When I first got into production everyone always told me FL was trash and to stay away from it
Another trick is to just use Decap sounds and skip all this steps directly into Knock paradise haha
🤣
LMAO FACTS

You should do a studio tour. I’m sure everyone would love to see what gear you’re using

You know what i really like about Decap is that he's one of the only producers that realizes that there are no rules to this music shit. If you're going for a particular sound then feel free to follow where the music takes you no matter how weird
Your Push performance awhile back blew my brains. Glad to see you more online!!!

Fuckin happy I found you on youtube. Been using Drums that knock 1-9 for a year without realising you make AWESOME videos!
Mad respect!
i love how you tell us to have fun... im train parkour and thats my number one rule i tell people that wanna start it! i always forget this when making music so thank u for being so kind
I honestly thought you are one of those chaddy youtubers who will "change my life as a producer" with one video but this actually very solid knowledge presented in an orderly manner. Thank you!
bro these beats throughout the background of the video go HARD
the most concise, clear, and visual video on this topic - i've been looking for this for years. thanks!
Crazy. All i had to do was add the Saturator and it made a crazy difference! I noticed when i even side chained it wasn't doing shit. I added the saturator and dialed it up a little bit and its punches so hard now!
Been waiting for this. Cant watch it cause im at work but as soon as im at home ill make my drums knock 💯💯❤️❤️
Never thought I could learn so much from a 7 minute video!
Good tips have been applying some of this to my drums in FL Studio. Sidechaining the melody to the kick is golden and I know this applies to a track with only a 808. I'm trying to get better with sound design thanks again.
Ayy man, thanks for this🙏🏻 the last tip is my favourite😂
I used to have Illmind blapkits for drums, but now i replaced them with yours! 'Pop kick' from 6 is just perfect for me.. i usually dont mix it besides sidechain. Cool to see the actual mixxing behind it, but for kicks i like em ready!
Watched your presentation and am hooked now. Started making my own drums and hope to release my first kit in the new year.
My man Decap! Your drum kits are one of the best for modern hip hop production for sure! I just can't get enough of those kicks that stomp your chest and snares that slap the shit outta you haha.
Dude wtf this guy is so straight forward. Just what we need. Thank you!
I just started out using Ableton Live and man, thanx for the advice. No Rules, it really is very inspiring. Definitely subscribing and getting that plugin soon.
Genius move playing the samples after your explanation. A subtle step above the rest 👍🏾
Real nice advice man!
Thank you for this 🙏🏾
No rules! Just have fun!!! Very good video that shouldnt be slept on these are super importannnt. Thanks!
I heard from a puppet that if you manually side chain your kicks and snares come out louder because it’s pre-active rather than re-active like side chain compressor does after the fact.
I've been tuning drums by ear now for 20 years.
Starting to doubt this method now haha. I'll check yo tip
DECAP IS 🐐
Many thanks for the content! I haven't worked on a beat in some months, but I'm starting to get that lil tingling feeling in my stomach again. That inspiration kicking in!
Nice stuff, pretty useful. I def knew my drums lacked something
Yo your the goat, quick question Idk if you’ve been asked before but can you make video about how to make melodies like the one playing in the background or for “Issa bounce”
This is what I needed! Thank You!

Thanks dude, i've been trying to figure this out for too long.
Very Helpful man. Articulated perfectly. Will be picking your brain often.
Im still getting to grips with tuning my kickdrums to the rest of my track. Sometimes when I tune them correctly, they will be in key but sounding weaker depending on the dominant frequencies shifting up or down. Pain in the back side but il get there!
thx man! very helpful!
Hey, this is AWESOME advice - can't wait to try these ideas out, thanks!!
