It’s all about the feel, it doesn’t matter how you start it. JUST GOOO💣🎧🎼💥
This dude is on some genius level shit. Like I don’t think he realizes how smart he is. Mind is completely blown.
man much love bro , i appreciate you tuning in
@@JaeFreshmen real talk you make it look so easy I wanna go buy an MPC right now. But I know better, your intellect is way above average and it would take me years to do what you do lol
Word.
I agree 💯👍
He really is helping me a whole lot it's like going to school over again
Found my go to channel for music making. SUBSCRIBED!
much love for tuning in
Start with drums if you want to be a beatmaker. Just start if you want to make music
I’ve been making music for 3 years and from my experience I’ve always started with chords/melodies/samples then the drums it just makes it so much easier to find the groove and fit the drums in idk what it is but the melody sounds speak to me more than the drums
@@elijahcooper7407same
I used to start with drums for my whole music production career. Now I start with sound designing a lead for melody and foundation. I felt limited with doing drums since the pattern would be similar and the fact that the melody would be a groove in the pocket of the rhythm by the drums.
thats an interesting take, i think for those that do one more than the other should experiment with the other side to be more well rounded
@@JaeFreshmendefinitely, also the deciding factor of why I start with drums is because I actually zone out and don’t hear the internal clock or metronome after a while when punching in a take. So I always either step-sequenced drums or finger-drummed.
Sometimes i start with drums, sometimes a melody. Sometimes i start with a bass line if one pops in my head. Gotta switch it up and keep it interesting/fresh
I usually start with a melody or a vocal foundation I know I’m weird but it makes bangers
@LaFamiliasEmpire thats not weird most people start with a melody but good to switch it up sometimes
9/10 times I start with the drums. It brings most of the vibe to life early and then you can fill in the blanks.
you are one of the best mpc tutorial channel at this point
thanks alot bro much love for watching
I checked them all, he is the best. trust me
I definitely agree
I use to start with drums. But now I find I like to get my sample or main idea down so I can match my drums sounds against the melody and texture.
First, although I don't really listen to or(obviously, I hope) produce hip-hop, I have learned a TON of great knowledge from your videos. I really appreciate it.
Second... last I watched you, you were sitting on the floor at a coffee table, or something. This is a HUGE step up in video production and environment. Looks awesome
man thanks alot bro and yea when i watch those video back i thought how did this slanted view work for so long lol
Wow Bro. I literally was about to let my melodics subscription expire this month since I haven't been using it... Now I'm gonna be back at ir.. I've felt more in the Grove using MPCs verses DAWs thanks
The pad idea with the samples is really dope, kind of a slice on the fly in real time idea. Top notch!
thanks for watching 💯
Bought my 1st MPC last year. I switched from Maschine and your videos have been instrumental (no pun intended) in helping me progress on my MPC journey.
Me too
much love bro im grateful to hear that
Starting out with drums is usually the best. And I say that as a producer who is more of a keyboardist. Tracking a melody and then adding drums can more times than not kill the vibe I had going. But if I have drums tracked first, I can track countless melodies/chords and the go with my favorite takes. But I always say there is no wrong way to create music, as long as it gets finished.
Although sometimes I also statt off with keyboard/synth and create a wild intro and then work section by section until the song is finished. I also mix while Im creating. Lol. So it takes me a day or two to complete some instrumentals.
I dont believe in making a bunch of beats everyday. I may go a few days without creating.
yea starting with drums definitely can lock in the groove right away, as someone that plays the piano it would help for sure to make a melody more simple thats still fire because you already have the pocket but yea producer should experiment more like a drill, and with finger drumming it can get crazy
Picked up my MPC about 4 months ago, still learning it. Always get stuck on the drums especially with no music background. This video helps a lot, thanks!
There's a few that chop like this 🫡 I carried it over from the ASR-10 ministered. The best way to chop
yea im glad it got that feature
I started my current beat with drums first and it came out a lot better frfr. I'ma start doing it a lot more
Sequenced noise music like this first so for trap I think it’s almost essential to get your cut, you can always layer and delete! Thanks for showing your workflow man
Wait, you don’t use fruity loops and teenage engineering hardware… hang on bro hang on shit where’s the fucking plant for your desk bro! Awnaw my birth certificate is Houston tx, but fuck bro I’m still too white!! 🤣🤣🥸 just goofing my brain goes nuts with scenarios at times🐸
That hour lesson I had with you the other day gave me so much game for being a beginner with this mpc. You goated fr ✊🏽
Fam is alway on point salute
I have been using double time and playin drums first and man you find that groove so much more easy.
Excellent video once again, small things you mentioned such as checking the volume when auditioning samples .So as to get a better idea how they work together with the other drum sounds .
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 dope for real
I appreciate this video so much. I’ve always struggled with approach and find myself juts finding synth sounds and playing with synth sounds all day and never making one beat 😂
Too dope...Appreciate you.
I luv whut u doing bruh. Str8fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 keep it up
this crazy, thanks man
amazing talent
My man.. I appreciate you.
Thank you!
That was dope AF
much love bro thanks for watching
Respect!!! You inspired me to stay in The Lab 💯💯
good job with this video bro. fr
Thanks fam 🎉 appreciate u
likewise bro thanks for watching
I’ve had my mpc two years and have made some decent beats. Just now today copied a pattern in the event screen 😆🤦🏿♂️
lol it be like that
Definitely the best mpc I’ve ever owned! I love it so much. Thanks for these great vids.
Can you please make a tutorial about the app you recommended for becoming a better finger drummer like Araab Muzik
good video man. your channel is blowing up
That little a capella./ Vox thing you were doing while working out your hats perc part was cool. It fit. To me at least.
Advanced Level Tricks.❤ this shiznet.
thanks for watching 💯
But if I happen upon a dope sample, I’ll start there. If I don’t HAVE a sample in mind, I got my drums.
I make beats everyday and recently a battle leage wanted beats and they only chose the beats i started with drums , while rappers who like to write to melodies they said those beats were generic kinda
Bro you are a Monster ✊💥💥💥
💯💯
Best video on how to do all this
much love
Bro u the best hands down ! I have question. Can u do a tutorial on how to use the sampler with creating your own sounds using it and making your own beat tags using the sampler? Thats something that alot of ppl not making tutorials on, on RUclips. Ive seen videos of ppl with salt shakers, keys shaking, ect ect but they wasnt using the mpc and there were no tutorials.
Producing from scratch making your instruments first will have you making emotional beats 😂
lol thats funny asl and probably true
True af @@JaeFreshmen
Nice💣💣💣
Akai better put on the team!
currently on my 2nd beat doin this this shit, shits kinda crazy nbs. good looks fam
Great video
thanks g
Using the kick to match the piano groove helps me make creative souds i agree starting with drums helps.
🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ll start with drums as my metronome but save adding fills and complexity for deeper into the composition/arrangement 😊
Bro between this live 2 and akai software shit is whipping my ass trying to be dope frustrated as a mug 😂 ima keep working at it Jae just don’t have enough paper to get lessons at the moment but I will soon 🫡⚜️💯
Jae is down to earth AF. Drop him a message if you need tutoring. Brilliant mind
Wen u make a beat the levels on play back especially the 808s were should the they peak levels Wise???
Anybody can learn stuff from Jae. I don’t even own an mpc right now
i appreciate you bro
Jae What's Good👊🏾
whats good bro💯
❤❤❤
What's going on? I'm using the Latest MPC Software and when I'm in controller mode when I'm making a Beat! I see a Red Line come across the bottom of the Grid! And it do it often when my beat is on and when the sounds match! Why is that? I'm surprised you never talked about it. But I'm not using a standalone I'm using a MPC Touch
GOT A NEW SUBCRIBER
much love for the support
J those hi hats are u using different high hat sounds wen u finger drumming the hi hat patterns or u using all the same hi hat sample
different samples for a better groove and feel
Jae u can play a Bass line @ 808s bass together at the same time??
yea but you gotta cut the lowend out of one of them
Been making beats on my MPC one for 4 years or so. I always start with the hi-hats for some reason
hi hats definitely would start the groove
Secret? Its a very well know thing in any genre of music.
Why to follow this long process with hardwares where you can do this in FL in pretty fast way with slicex and slicer.
Also you could start with melody/instrumenst first then make drums, then scrap original melody/instruments … leaving you with just drums … and from there start with the drums and they should be pretty dope already!
Dey sleeping gang wake em up do more videos on the way u sample
These mf tutorials 😮💨
i agree 100% you have to start with the drums in rap and hip hop its not like other genres in reggaton for example you always start with the melody and build up from there the drums are almost the very last thing you throw on there but hip hop and rap you wanna lay down your drums first then add a looped melody with a couple drops and breaks and you gucci
I just finished listening to Kanye's Bound 2 track - that had no drums, snares, nor hi hats, just chops and synths. If I wasn't listening closely, I wouldn't have noticed this. Do you know the secret to this phenomenon? Good video by the way
The Kid’s good 😊
Thank you for making a distinction between Hip Hop and Trap in the beginning. 🫡
lol got you
WHEN YOU CHANGED THEM TO NOTE ON.. WHY DIDNT YOU JUST SELECT ALL INSTEAD OF DOING THEM SEPERATELY?>
aint no reason bro i just did it that way
😆 "Don't be that person"
fr😂
🥶 We need Key Glock on this one
Melody First
yea same but its a nice challenge , i think producers dont challenge themselves enough
I play death metal…..guitar.
I like this guy.
Content / personality is 👑
6:09 I know a dude name Simon Taneously... bro owe me 5 dollars too!
😂
I like to start baseline then drums or melody then drums. But that's just me
Great tutorial but everyone operates differently. Me? I listen to the sample and I listen to the drum pattern and listen to melody and then I start matching the drum patterns in my head and sound it out with the sample.
Then I pick the drums and the rest is history....
Bro just called me out in the video lol...Ive been trying to be unique for so long and not use samples but it hasnt gotten me anywhere
I have to disagree here.
The beat is the heartbeat of the song, but the sample/instruments* are the body and the mind.
A heart has to adapt to the body of the individual as the beat has to adapt to the feel of the sample.
The sample will dictate what type of beat you need, that is why you should start with the sample.
You could start with the beat, and spend time with a sample/instruments* that will work
*Instruments: melody and harmony, in case that the producer is not a sample-based producer.
I somewhat agree….. but u can manipulate a sample to incorporate into the beat. However if you start with a sample then you have to build the beat around the sample.
I usually add drums last, so the main sound dictates everything, each main sound is journey in and of itself.
But, I will say that you can come up with more drum patterns than you can get a perfect match when going drums last.
You'll live longer with being brain dead than you will having no heart beat. Music is life.
ehhh i think most producers aren't drummers so that why their approach is not that solid but the video is not about which is better but more so why its important to experiment to bring back fun and creativeness in the beatmaking process
@@ezskreet no way is wrong , but the point of the video just to show how to think outside of the box from the approach you normally take
🫡👍🏾🫡
There is no secret sauce. Inspiration comes from everything. Could be a baseline, could be a string sample, drums, guitar keys, etc.
Limiting yourself to starting with drums won't help you progress either. Say you find a really dope melody, being able to read it and program drums accordingly is vital.
i’m a bedroom producer. i dont even use samples man
I can hear the thumbnail
Take off Quantize
This really you only applies to non musicians(drum sequencers). Drums are not the heart of every song not even hip-hop, although they might carry a good amount of energy. Drums can also pigeon hole a melody and a groove, considering most drums today are made of non-natural sounds and tones.
Start where ever you want ain't no rules to finding you.
It doesn’t matter how you start 😂
you don't have to start with drums..
Aaaaand?
I thought everybody started with drums. Drums give you a rhythm to play off of
Always. But f trap.
Starting with Drums should be 2 in 10 times if you want to sound different and creative.
My guy be 1000 with the tutorials 🫡
much love bro
