Good luck everyone in your journeys, you'll be surprised how quickly you start loving your beats❤
That feeling of actually making a good beat that you're happy with
After three days I made a west coast beat, layed snoop over for the vocals, played to a few people and they thought it was an actual released song. Felt amazing, some have been shocking though, and I wouldn’t even show them but that’s how you learn right 😁 enjoying, enjoy people, have fun 👍🏻👌🏻
Thank you g
@@BRINGINGtheBANTER my favorite compliment ever is when people call me a liar and swear on things they love that there is no way I'm talented enough to make what I've just showed them. lol
@@jonathanritchey2440 haha that’s a compliment right there buddy 👍🏻 people have been very quick to, try and say to me you didn’t make it all yourself though, you have used a sample or a midi, I’ve used both sometimes and then added ‘my own spin on the melody, as I’ve only been making beats for a few weeks and have no clue about music theory, I knew what a bar was and that was about it, people will always talk down things they either can’t do or are too lazy to do, I find it a compliment, as if they got annoyed by, it or jealous or whatever, then that means it’s good 😂 funny thing is these people claim to love rap music not realising that most of the tracks they listen to from the 90’s and early 2000’s by some of there favourite producers had samples in 😂 doesn’t matter how you make the beat, it matters how good it is after right ? 😉
I set "side-quest" goal practically every beat I make and I've been producing for 28 years. You never cease to learn if you're open to learning. Be humble. That's my advice for beginners. I'm not even using FL or making the same kind of beats but that's why I like this channel. That and the weird metaphors. I really like those. Those steps are true but they are never done if you want to learn, do them again and again.
Anyway, nice vid bro.
Thank you Maxime. I like the way you coined that phrase, side quest goal
@@NavieD I’m a geek what can I say!
You are brutally honest. Thank you for giving us realistic expectations.
Here was my process 5 years ago:
1: Binge watch busy works beats
2: Make a ton of repetitive non mixed boring beats
3: Release all of my beats on youtube/instagram
4:Realize I suck and deleted all my beats
5:Discover Channels like Navie and started over and took things much slower.
Wish I started watching you earlier. Best of luck to everyone just starting out.
BWB makes some of the corniest videos outside of anything interface and software related. 😭😭
Thanks for the reminder Navie. Definitely needed this. My weakness right now is finishing my beats and watching way too many tutorials. I gotta pull back and act like this is my first time again.
I really dig the straightforward presentation, the way you explain things is always so inviting. This can be motivating even to people already in the process.
Yeah sometimes I feel like we know these things, but we need a reminder every now and again
@@NavieD I find it can be easy to take things too seriously while forgetting to have some fun throughout the process
I wish I would have had someone like you when I started 10+ years ago. Bless you bro, you're doing God's work out here 🙏🏾
If I would have had this when I was 20 or something, I'd be a millionaire now
do u earn money??? from making beats?
Thank you! I'm just trying to be the change that I want to see I suppose
@@NavieD That's some inspiration quote right there
What do you think? Did I miss any important steps? Disagree with any? Let me know, call 1-800-NAVIE-D
P.S. Yes, that crooked looking painting in the background upset me too
Which is better to join BMI or Ascap?
Step 0 - get a computer/laptop w atleast 16g ram minimum or higher though 8g ram can still get you started making beats if it comes down to it
On a side note your systems ram plays a big part on buffer size, sample rate, latency, etc. which I came to find out as a key thing of understanding when starting out
Every DAW download should have a link to this video right here !!! Best advice in one video. Good Shit !!
🙏
Excellent tutorial. My first beats were just okay then eventually they got better. Better drum patterns, better melodies and chord progressions. The key is locking in on "that sound". I love bass and drums so this is what I focus on first, chords and melody.
Interesting interesting. How long until you felt like they got better?
"The biggest difference maker is always the artist "
That's the truth 100%
You're fire man, thanks
Thanks for the tips Navie, You are a star
Yhhhhhhh I hope so thanks for the encouragement
Great stuff. Nice share and advice.
Always love your honesty and compassion
Awesome Video. Really appreciate you going out of your way to put these guides together to help all of us out.
Also, it can be somewhat normal to NOT like the music you make, but others think its 🔥🔥
True. Many of the placements that I got were on beats that I thought were mid
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN FOR LIFTING ME UP FOR 2022, LOVE & RESPECT TO YOU G 🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥
Thank you for this Video! The advice was exactly what I needed to hear. It inspired me to make another beat today
Super Stoked for Your Channel Bro.
Great advice, and it's nice to see u-he's Podolski as one of the 2 free synths you include in the comments. I rarely see creators mention it in more than a passing breath about free plugins, but it just sounds so incredible it deserves recognition!
Thanking people like you who care for others by sharing your knowledge. If I ever pop off imma reach out to you bro
Thank you, great content and edits
Omar O, lovely to see you again
Gotta say, he speaks nothing but truth!
You always throw a video that is perfectly align with my thoughts about making music at the time ;D Ok, maybe not ALWAYS, but almost always. Thank you for easy and transparent knowledge sharing.
Thank You very much Navie.Best regards :-)
Man you always make our lives better as the amateur beats Maker thanks 🙏🔥
Very helpful vid. Especially steps 3 and 4. Started creating libraries and recreating beats as a part of my process. Thanks.
Hi Navie, big thanks for this video!! For sure I'll continue to watch your course!!
Great video, I just started and this is what I needed! I think perseverance is important in that you can't get down on yourself for making a bad beat, like you said, everyone does - even professionals, just gotta learn and grow from that. Thanks for the inspiration.
you the goat man
Great video
Hi Navie. I've subscribed and watched a few videos now. I have to say that you come across as such a nice, genuine guy. There's no ego, you're just putting out great content. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you Navie. I love music but I'm coming into this with zero knowledge and not much more skill, so all of your advice and guidance has been very helpful. Also practicing just for the sake of developing awareness and skill has quickly turned into a fun process within FL Studio. As a digital artist it's something I've done for a long time so it's both funny and validating to hear it suggested from some one I view as a skilled professional in this field.
I am happy that I can help Temi! Welcome to the world of beatmaking. Things are hard at the very beginning, but they become very fulfilling once you get over that initial hump
solid advice
You are so honest and straight forward, Its clear your number 1 focus is helping your viewers and not just making a good video. Keep making videos m8
Hi Navie ☺️👋 thanks for this encouraging video. I think a lot of producers who start, including me, feel that way. And you share your knowledge so that they can move forward. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Great video, good tips!👍🏽
Great comment, good dude!👍🏽
Thanks Navie I been making beats on and off for 3 years now I work a full time job as a chef so I have little time for myself but would still like to get better at producing and perhaps sell some beats in the future or work with specific artists that like my beats. This really puts things into perspective. I had been looking at it wrong. Thanks for helping me see it better.
Glad I can help my young bee
Ayo Navie I've been rewatching some of your tutorials today. Thanks a bunch man
Thank you for watching my stuff man!
Very lovely, witty and charming! great tutorials too :)
appreciate ur tutorials very helpful ty my g
Glad I can help my friend
really good advice, thanks Navie D 😁
Jakoooooooo good to see you
your a good man Navie
I like your vids man, very well done!
Good Luck !
Thank you Shadow mannnn
I've watched TONS of videos on getting started, i'm talking 60+ videos but THIS one is by FAR the definitive best one on getting started!!! My guy gets straight to the point and makes you feel comfortable about getting started... mad respect to you!
Shout-out to all new aspiring producers! The journey is long but we can make it enjoyable if we work together!
Absolutelyyyy, it's pretty cool knowing that today, someone will try to make beats for the first time in their life
Maaaan... Navie is buff as fuck....
Thank you for another great video. I've been on this journey for a year and 3 months. I've really been throught the mindset of hell where you just think everything goes wrong with no improvement, until I saw a video with you were you said something about, remembering to also take a few step downs, because if you keep on pushing through making beats wanting to improve you will eventually walk backwards. That really helped me go forward much more, and focusing on resting up my mind to be able to be creative. When you talk I always listen .
Thank you.
Legend is back 🔥🔥🔥
I hath returned!
Needed that
Hey Navie, thank you for this video, so much knowledge and wisdom shared. You FL beginners vid was also great and super helpful.
Quote I once heard - Talent always trumps equipment.
Thank you.
Thanks naveed
Ty navid
I’ve been making beats for 8 years and I’m still leveling up every day. Thank you bro, from the bottom of my heart
nice content, very useful!
Thank you Qbi!
Ong I just watched the bbm video. It’s amazing. I hope it opens soon. You’re a godsend
I did make a beat yesterday and it’s the first time I’ve positively reacted. Growing and progression is what keeps me going. Thank you for your tips and pointers because without Navie D lots of us wouldn’t be making beats
Much love bro
Thanks Navie D this was really helpful.
One thing I still struggle with though is mastering cause my beats are either too soft or distorted I need to still develop that skill
Thanks for for this video. Even though I bought and absolutely love your course, these videos on the side are so delicious lol..
Hahah thank you for joining Anthony. Yeah, I wanted to keep the course concise and focused, whereas I explore random ideas and thoughts more in my TH-cam
I just started, I've been seeing you pop up more and more
Great video idea i might steal it
Thanks Brother.. this is actually essential video for me because i'm trying to become a PHONK Producer and i'm practicing fl studio everyday... your videos are really simple to understand.. LOVE U MAN
Navie, I really appreciate this video as someone who's wanted to produce for a couple years, but hasn't due to just the overwhelming nature of it, my own ego getting in the way, and the fear of failure surrounding doing new things. The advice here feels invaluable off rip, in terms of coming to an understanding that yes, everyone starts frustrated and overwhelmed, and it's about setting those micro goals to help learn the whole process. Also the resources here are super sick, some awesome sources for samples and new instruments!
So, how is it going?
Inspirational
Inspireeeed
This is precisely why I started following Navie D in 2021 and resolve to keep following in 2022.
Thank you handome man Dan! Your support is always welcomed
The MAN
So true. This will save people tons of time and frustration ..... IF they listen.
big IF
@@NavieD Yes Sir.....✌
This is sucha good video Navie, you touched on pretty much the whole process. What you think it's gonna be like vs. what it's really like, I wish I saw this video when I started out in 2020. I really did learn more and get better by just doing, you really do get caught in time wasting loops on the journey to get better, when that time could be spend on getting better by doing. Love how you said that 'nothing is above you, or below you, even the best producers use the simplest tools, like loops or their keyboard as a piano'. Music is music and there are "NO RULES, you do whatever the fuck you want", when it comes down to the creative process, you have to experiment and just press buttons, move stuff around, until you hear something you like; alright beats come out most of the time, and so do "bad beats", but that's part of making music, "good beats" won't always come out. Whoever reads this and is starting out, really listen to this advice it'll save you a lot of time, Experiment, don't be ashamed of anything be disciplined on making music, have fun, and GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY, my fellow producers.
Close to 100K Navie , Let's gooooo!
Hopefully I reach it in 2022
Hey Navie ... thanks again
Hey Que ... thanks for watching
positive start to 2022..
I wish you all lots of success in 2022 😁
You too Lou
@@NavieD do you have a discord community I could join? :)
Started making beats in march of 2020 back when the lockdown started, about to make almost 2 years doing it and I have to say it’s one of the greatest things I’ve learned to do
I bought your course before it closed and haven’t started today I start 💪
Ayyy thank you for joining! I am working hard on the big updates, so those will be coming out in around a month and a half
yes, more knowledge, thank you
Thank you for watching dudeeeeeeeee
@@NavieD thank YOU! here i am, stuck at work just binge watching all your vids again haha
I choose Studio 1 years ago and have stuck with it. my goal is to do the best with what I have. these type of videos are so helpful. thank you.
yup ive gotten better with my beat making over time!...its def a special art and my beats have matured like fine wine over time...my advice is learn from all sorts of producers and take valid pointers and apply them because over time your beats will become a part of you and you really start to create a signature sound that you created!!
Ohhh I did watch the video. I am working on starting small.
I find a lot of people are delusional when they first start out lol I mean we all thought our stuff was the shit than looking back, it ain't that fire...well it's good to be honest and just be patient ...Also there is always room for growth and you never really stop learning new things , that's why I love making beats 💯 you definitely have to have a genuine love for it not just to make money .. the money is secondary for me personally
Now this is my kind of video
Now this is my kind of comment
Lookin dapper wit the flamingos, my guy. Props.
you the first person on yt that i can actually understand lol everybody be movin to fast
Thank you so much for what you said about choosing a daw and the nonsense talk associated with which one is better, I like listening to people like you.......you know....the ones who actually know what they're talking about.
I wish this video was out when I first started making beats.
Every beginner should listen to this first..
Hope more of these how and why’s are in the works.
Yeah I always like doing these philosophy type videos
I love you bro!! Thanks for the supporting! Now star using ablenton 😂
Nothing but 💎's
After watching a tutorial practice what youve learned right after if possible. Best advice i can give to rookies. Good luck!!
great
Nice video
Excellent, most helpful video I have watched on getting started and I have watched a few. I'm a 66 year old Brit wanting to do this as a retirement hobby.
Great advice. I hope new producers catch this.
One of the common pitfalls of a tutorial is the fact that they would only do 2 minutes of research and then rush into the process. This is especially a thing in some beatmaking tutorials where they try to aim for a specific. I feel like some would fail at capturing the spirit of the sound (including phonk and UK drill).
However, I do get that people wouldn't want to watch a 45 minute video on how phonk came to be, but I do know that phonk is more than just the 808 cowbell and fast trap beats, that's just one side of phonk called "drift phonk".
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Great advice, Navie. Seriously, it's not always the tool, it's the person behind the tool. Thanks.
Thank you Chase! Yeah, I know being in that spot myself, it is difficult to give advice and know that it doesn't apply 100% of the time because there are always examples and instances when certain beats break those same rules. That's why I try my best to cover principles rather than prescriptions
Im seeing fl studio like an instrument. This helps alot not to get frustrated.
"Which pen would make you a better writer".... im gonna use this now onwards
3x osc is my GO-TO vst
I missed your competition 😔 and now the beat just sits there in my hard drive.
Ive been producing for 4 years, on and off, and im just now getting to the point where my stuff is coherent
How dare you leave us so long without an upload 😤
Something I'm giving a go around myself is what I call my FL studio Cheat Code book which is just a print of out of all the keyboard commands in FL studios. So when I'm in my zone I trying to work my muscle memory by referencing the print out rather then manually clicking icons. I believe everyone should have one of these print outs they're free and probably half the battle frfr
