I always distort the 808s in parallel, send the original and blend the distorted to a bus channel where I EQ it. A 60Hz boost and 200-300 Hz cut with a low cut at 25Hz. This pretty much makes for a solid 808. It’s much easier though if you start out with a good 808 sample that properly balanced.
That frequency splitter is a game changer. Looking forward to utilizing this in my workflow with 808 distortion, and playing around with melodies. Excellent tutorial as always. Keep up the good work!
Really appreciate the editing/meme efforts on this one ! Made it really entertaining and informative at the same time. Keep up the good work of explaining in detail, it helps making people smarter (I hope).
You can manipulate each frequency band individually in maximus as well but in some cases it's definitely more beneficial to do it in parallel or manually as you demonstrated
quick tip: if you do sounddesign you can do multiple layer for your sub and basses. i always use at least a highend, midrange, bass and sub. you can now distort any layer as much as you want without huting the other frequencies BUT BE AWARE there might be some polarity problems if you don't take care well of your mix and sounddesign
I use Camel Crusher, mainly the British Clean preset, my 808s always slap🔥. The 808 punches without the high end distortion sound, and the compressor if you turn it up will bring the high end distortion out.
I have been watching this channel for like a year or two and i will say navie d is one of the best youtube producer out there with great teaching techniques and super useful videos
This was an inspiration! I spent the afternoon setting up a freq splitter and playing with different distortions and other effects separately on higher frequencies vs lower freq. Much fun!
Love you navie have to point out a few errors. Distortion on 808s is what makes good 808s, an 808 itself is a distorted sine wave. I think this video only applies to a very select few sub genres of trap beats so for musicians looking at all genres this is bad advice. Distortion makes everything better if you learn how to use it. Never avoid anything in beat making, even mistiming something can make a song better
The point I was making is that distorting a sin wave, and moving it away from a perfect sin shape, has an effect on how much low end it generates. And that people should be aware of this.
@@NavieD Video was good overall bro, I have just been making a lot of house music recently and I have been noticing the difference in the way 808s are used. In trap sub bass is the main goal with 808s, where as trap music is more driven by moog style sub bass. Learned a lot from you over the years and I have massive respect for you, apologies if it came across snarky
IMO Sosig always sounds best at about 3-8% as a slightly gritty gain boost... making the sosig too angry tends to muck things up a bit. Good looking out Navie.
Very informative as always, fav beatmaking tutorials on RUclips ! ♥️ I have watched all your videos, many of them several times, and i was wondering if you could do a sdetailed video about mixing Boom Bap Beats, newschoold or oldschool! I feel like a specific video on this topic (eqing the sample, the drums, etc) would be extremely useful! Keep it up ♥️
if you bring in a seperate kick and stick to one pitch wouldnt that introduce some phase issues or conflicting pitches? if not what do you tune the kick to?
I know this is a wild idea, but have you tried not using an 808? Edit: 11:52 see, 808 isn’t always the answer, in fact outside of modern trap it’s rarely the answer.
Navie, I would recommend someone on here rent an actually TR808 and sample the sounds You’ll notice the 808 is out of tune A cool trick is to use melodyne to fine tune them by key and use them that way

Unless you mess with me

One of your best vids so far in terms of editing. Very informative and entertaining at the same time ! Thanks
Thanks Sammy

Your content was always phenomenal but the editing etc really sets you apart even more🙌🏼 great video bro, giving away all the tips for free
Video editing is through the roof. Thanks A.I. Navie for sliding in as a holo and explaining the functionality of a healthy low end.
It's not video editing. I really did ride an 808
@@NavieD that must have been great, where can i get a ticket?

"With some real nice curves in there 😏" cracked me up.
Your video editing skills are on point!! Pulling 808s apart and flipping switches off and on! Nice tutorial!!!
Thank you Darryl!
You and Kenny Beats are teaching us so much. On your way to being a legend in the producer community

Can a polarity flip help with a plugin?
I'm hella addicted your videos Navie. They're definitely my favorite music production tutorial vids on RUclips
I been following you for a while, your videos have been more entertaining and better as you progress. Nice work

4:32 how do you make it so the low frequency and high frequency go to their respective sends?

High end in a bass sound is not a bad thing it’s all bout mixing the sound well with the other sounds

Thank You for Your work ;-) You're one of the best teachers. Great content!
New producer, just discovered you…I wanna go straight to the “nerd” producers 🤓🥂🧡
Navie D's gotta nice low end ;)
what about a hi pass filter on the parrallel 808 if you dont have a frequency splitter and a lo pass filter on the original?
Choosing the right 808 at the first place can save you a great amount of frustration.
This is true
What tips do you guys use for finding good 808 samples that match your beat?
@@graverobshawty just go by ear, always trust your instincts. If it sounds good then it’s good.
🔥🔥🔥
🚒🚒🚒
Trash 2 is the ish!!
I laughed every time you rode that 808 😂
Would not recommend. Am now nauseous
@@NavieD Damn bro you gotta take it easy on the gnar
If you dont have a frequency splitter just double the track. Roll the highs off the one, add distortion to the other and season to taste. 😙👌
I mean... the info is great.... but that editing though🤯
Thank you Davieboy
thnx fo info man ❤🔥
4:16😂
I still don't understand why raunchyness was left out betterbeatmaker.
congrats for the ballon d'or Navie
Someone tell FL we need visual waveforms in the X and Y mods! Volume and pitch also. So much more they could do in upgrades to be intuitive...
can we get that "whoa" in a kit?
Haha, "foibles"
Great video again Navi ❣
Merci beaucoup
When where and how to use the Reese bass?
hey, is there a way to hear my channel preset of 3oc with out draging them one by one in the channel rack ?
Wow! Great information and you are soo funny too!!!!!! Amazing!
The best-used green screen on the planet 😂
Crucial talk
"808 is good for riding" Navie being sus
Editing is cray ngl
Still the G.O.A.T.!!!
if you bring in a seperate kick and stick to one pitch wouldnt that introduce some phase issues or conflicting pitches? if not what do you tune the kick to?
putting a wave form in the envelope window is pretty genuis to be fair. Navie D, please contact FL Studio big wigs. Cheers.
What was number 4??
Someone hired an editor
How did you know
Yes! No more doo doo ka ka beats!!!
Those are the worst kind
Great video
8:10 damnn
I've been master bassing all my life....
I know this is a wild idea, but have you tried not using an 808?
Edit: 11:52 see, 808 isn’t always the answer, in fact outside of modern trap it’s rarely the answer.
bro that beat with the 808 at the starting was fire as fuck. can you link me to it??
Navie,
I would recommend someone on here rent an actually TR808 and sample the sounds
You’ll notice the 808 is out of tune
A cool trick is to use melodyne to fine tune them by key and use them that way
