Put an eq on my master track boosting the entire low-end as much as possible. Idk what I was thinking every time I open those old projects my ears hurt
Best advice for anyone (especially with these shit “sauce 🤫” videos flying about) is if you are going to add something, think why first. If you don’t have a reason to add it, don’t.
@@JimboCruntz Exactly what i needed to hear brother, all these youtubers going around making complicated trap beats that made me forget other genres exist hahaha. Thank you
I think beat 4 is the hardest concept to get for beginners. I found myself struggling with this as a new producer. I would sum this problem up as a lack of understanding structure. When I say it is a hard concept to get.... Structure is important but learning how to break rules and break structure can be very innovative. Although, I found you have to understand structure first in order to so properly. I really discovered that some of my first productions after listening again. I realized I accidentally broke rules and structure in cool ways which, lead to cool ideas but the execution of these ideas was lacking.
That SAB beat was actually pretty fucking dope (not that I disliked your version by any means, Navie!), I would actually use that!🔥🔥🔥 If somebody's got SAB's info send it to me
I've been enjoying your insights these videos, but I think #4 (Corrupt Footage) is going for a syncopated feel. At least the 20 or so seconds I was able to hear. I was digging it.
Hi Navi D I don't speak English and sometimes it's hard for me to understand what you're talking about. I watch your videos in this way: I turn on the captions for the video and use the translator and then I understand you. I want to buy a course, but I don't know if it will be on TH-cam and if there are subtitles so I can use a translator?
I gotta be honest, with some of these, the problem is these people just don’t understand music or how to make things sound in-tune or rhythmically accurate😂
I disagree bro, i used to make beats like that when i started, it takes time to figure out everything, from sound selection, concept to making the beat sound in tune
real inquiry navie, is it super wrong to use the bass frequencies from samples if the low end sounds super cool? idk if im explaining this right, but there are times when i sample songs and i dont cut out the low end too heavy, some times i use the samples low end as an anchor for my beat.
its good as long as you're careful with your bass! if u add another bass sound, you can layer it playing the exact notes of the sample (or less notes). problem is it might become muddy, so you need to be careful with your bass sound, and your mixing a trick if you want some low end unless your bass is playing, is to use an autofilter, or sidechain multiband, to make the samples low end duck down when the bass plays hope this helps lol, sry for the paragraphs
Lets be honest, the problem with number 4 (and 3) is not mistaking "technique A with technique B", that comes pretty naturally. You don´t need to learn the "patterns" just need to have ears. Everything is messed up out of sync. Nice sample though.
i jus learned fl slicer i have sample i played with some off drums because i want a real human feel i got something i no it sounds like crap im havin hard Time with baseline
At the First Beat maybe He let space for a vocal? You say, He has a lot of high freq but the low mids not there.. So a Rapper with a deeper voice (low mid area) workin better than a Rapper with a high freq voice on this beat
Honestly I was just thinking how beat 3 was pretty dope until he added his own shit, then it just made it sound like a youtube royalty free exerpt... Giving these pigeon held standards are only gunna keep people from being creative because oh! Not everybody else is doing that. I love Navie D. for the basic advice he can give beginners, but not so much when it comes to making them sound "better". If you find your beat seem kinda different but not unlistenable it might be kinda repulsive and confusing but that just means something that no else has put out has just been birthed.
As long as you know your DAW well there is visually nothing you won't able to replicate. I took a course where the intructor was using Ableton right when I started making music, I had zero problems following along because I took a Udemy course on producing with FL Studio before.
Sounds like theses producers or beat makers are doing way to much and not making sounds complement the main idea, some of these beats are all over the place and sound like total newbies who are on there 5th beat made ever.
What's the biggest bonehead beat mistake you made when you first started?
Put an eq on my master track boosting the entire low-end as much as possible. Idk what I was thinking every time I open those old projects my ears hurt
Not putting the loop in time😑
Turning knobs in plugins I knew nothing about till it sounded "good enough" lol
I went my whole first year without watching any Navie D tutorials. That was stupid
Couldn't find packs or plugins for first two weeks lmao
Didn't know Benzima switched careers and started teaching beat making. Love your videos bro!
since he was injured for france and had free time he started uploading more on youtube💀
Man where did you come up with Benzema? What strikes you as similar?
@@TheGrainhas is this sarcasm?
The 3rd beat is my problem. Have to always remind myself to keep things simple and I usually don't use many elements when I revisit the beat later.
Facts. Overthinking is a mf

And yes, your channel is the best on youtube as you reveal a lot about beatmaking. Thank you!
Let's Go!! Another banger tip from the goat himself!!
This was dope. Keep up the good work
I salute you, Navie. Great content
these videos are crazy helpful
That halftime layer was a good one
bruh no disrespect but that third one sounded better before
100% his new bassline was 🤮
lowkey true
Your Joey Badass track is literally the only reason i started to fw you and you aint ever disappointed since !
Helped a lot! thanks
Thank you for watching!
Like the new intro 👌🏼
GREAT VIDEO. THANKS FOR THE INFO.
Thank you Brigssssssssss
super useful!
BRAVO, Navie!
Thank you Bazard!
I actually think 7:07 made it worse tbh..
Same
Yup off key drums he added sound awful and that bass line is terrible
yeah that was crazy ☠☠
That SAB beat was actually pretty fucking dope (not that I disliked your version by any means, Navie!), I would actually use that!🔥🔥🔥 If somebody's got SAB's info send it to me
I liked it b4 he messed with it tbh 😂
Very useful, buddy, thumbs up
Thank you Jessie!

I was thinking, “maybe he’s not going for hip hop/trap. Maybe a hybrid genre more akin to dnb/trap/edm
I’m watching the first tip as I’m typing this and I can already tell this is a godly video. Ty bro
Beat fix at 10:15 is 🔥
i see dat flying lotus LA in the background 💯
Yurr

@@buffalocares_ exactly 😂
This dude can't even tell when somethings in key half the time, that bassline at 7:05 lol.
@@timo_ott you just said the same thing he said. In the beginning you don't know what your doin but you get better
Been watching for a year you’ve taught me so much, mark my words by this time next year I’ll be on that fucking betterbeatmaker course
By then you'll be working with all the big artists
The 3rd beat sounds so good with the "aaah" sound

@@moresnqp nah i appreciate this! all makes sense, really appreciate the help forreal!
A technique i use when sampling I will cut all Of the high end boost low and and filter for a nice smooth ass bass
10:46 Why do you have to change it to STRETCH in the settings? Is that to prevent weird artifacts or something when you go to stretch it?
4 th beat is a cymatics sample if anyone was curious
I loved all your videos but 7:10 showing what base makes it better i mean DUDE .... Arghhww :D
Beat 4 also like WTF XD
DO make good beats
DON'T make bad beats
This video could have been a lot shorter
@@NavieD Then there would be less screen time for the sex icon Navie
It takes a hundred bad beats to make 1 good beat
@@watchthedopethrone nah
@@watchthedopethrone more like 10:1 or 5:1
Yoooo 7:00 min homboy made some zcarface style beat.

Is better beat maker a monthly subscription or yearly. Or is it a one time purchase?
one time. highly recommend
or you could do a monthly payment plan instead of a lump sum payout
One time purchase, or split into 3 payments. Then you have lifetime access :)
@Second Circus thank you for the kind word my man!
i jus learned fl slicer i have sample i played with some off drums because i want a real human feel i got something i no it sounds like crap im havin hard Time with baseline
Are your drums super off grid?
What EQ are you using
As I listen to this beats and some others, I realise that I'm actually a bit good
i dont have the "stretch mode" in fl studio 21, how do i figure that out?
At the First Beat maybe He let space for a vocal? You say, He has a lot of high freq but the low mids not there.. So a Rapper with a deeper voice (low mid area) workin better than a Rapper with a high freq voice on this beat
Yeah that was pretty obvious. Was a very professional and clean record
Please Navie D tell us the Do's and Don'ts for those big biceps of yours
Do pray to the lord almighty, for that is the only way
@@NavieD 😩😔😔
How can I apply my beats to your video. I realy wanna hear what u have to say.
Submit*
that sab beat was ok I couldn't tell what was wrong until you fixed it
The first one was dope not gonna lie
Why is bro loking like Karim benzema 😂😂😂😂
Over Technical Thinking in this Era actually makes most beats sound the same or wack.
Honestly I was just thinking how beat 3 was pretty dope until he added his own shit, then it just made it sound like a youtube royalty free exerpt...

i have been meaning to ask , What is the name of the game on ur intro ? 😂
🤗
🤗🤗🤗
First beat “lacking” low/mid range isn’t bad because that’s where a lot of your vocal will be.
But I did love the hit sound you put in there!
Nope, vocals should sit in the highs/high mids mostly.
@@Hogboy345 depends on the voice
@@camrnlve even the deepest of voices are EQ'd in a way that makes the low-mid end quieter
@@relictionyeah maybe at 120hz and below
Your base is hard. Buy the time I set up gms it hard to write a base line
You made the 2nd beat worse
Number was good! But they added too much to it. Also, I may would have taken it up an octave.
🌱☀️🕊️♥️☘️
I agree
I wish your course was based on Ableton 😭
I have tons of course members who use Ableton dawgy. They say it's still super helpful
@@NavieD aiigh ima sign up soon, do I need to know music theory?

Damn it’s Benzema?
Navie D is ùy GTN
Aint no way all this sauce is for free!
Ableton's Sampler and Simpler make it hella easy
I must say, FL's samplers do stink
@TitanTony407 you know this 😎
Okay, thank you for this fantastic information
You sound a little concerning though lol
my beats sound just like corrupt footage
On the first beat he shouldnt have used sytrus
Don't make your drums as stiff as he does, they are way to mechanical on the grid. FL studio in 2003. Bounce, swing, humanize
I think he was just quickly showing us an example of drums that would fit the beat better.
I disagree with what you did to the second beat.
Benzema ...😂🤔
To me the drums are way too busy
Karim Benzema
SAB ur beat was fiyya dont listen to this guy
number 1 using a kick
Every single track had either A. something WAY off time, or B. something way off key. There's no fixin stupid...
C'mon now, don't be mean
I'm actually surprised how the guy who did beat 4 fucked up the bass so bad lol
I miss the times where Navie wasn't correcting weak beats from his beatmaker course 😔
these beats are bad
But dude you are showing only in ableton or fl studio not everyone uses those ...
That beat at 10 min in is bloody terrible
Karim Benzema
