      If you don’t have a reason to add it, don’t.

    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.

    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.

    • @moresnqp
      @moresnqp ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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.

      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.
