The other day I took one 808, made four copies, tuned each one to the note I wanted and put them on the pads in a row 😂 it's a lil tedious but I did it so I could play the drums and sample on same program for finger drumming.
right on Bishop Bolo literally was puzzled this morning trying to get a bass to sit in with a kick & 808... I ended up reverse polarizing the kick and eq'd the bass off at 65 hz to leave bottom for the kick & 808
I usually EQ an 808 to fit into the track. If I really like one but it needs a certain range to standout….I cut the offending frequency and boost the one I need. I also have trouble hearing the tune of 808’s….so I make sure to use speakers to hear them and use a tuner to make sure they aren’t slightly detuned………..Or I tune my 808 up an octave or two….so that I can hear it in context with the song and then correct the pitch from there.
That’s really the bottom line. Sound selections. Knowing which 808 fits in the song. Parralell compression can help warm up the 808 as well. But of course that is using a plugin
My goodness., I have not figure out the sound of 808s. Sometimes it throws my beat off or it just doesn't fit. I make it fit. lol. I need more practice on mixing. Gee.
why use cheap studio monitors for high end studio gear it makes no sense if you have the money to buy expensive gear why cheap out on studio monitors please explain ?
Do you Have any idea why I can get my 808 sounding good and hitting right on headphones and monitors, but when I listen In my car it sounds distorted and muddy? But than if I lower the 808 volume to fix than it doesn’t hit on headphones??? This is hindering me
I’m by no means an expert.. but maybe some other parts of the beat fight in the same frequencies as the 808.. things like reverbs and delays can mud things up on the low end.. 🤷🏾 I usually cut out all the unneeded low frequencies out of every instruments or samples.. but again.. I ain’t no expert..
This is so ironic!... I'm in the Book of 2 Live Crew(Their Catalog),R.I.P. Brother Marquis 🙏🏽.... I'm going back to jus 808's & Snares....if you listen to them...they no Keys,Synths,plugs!!!...Luke & Mr.Mixx had it knocking🎛️🔊

Ahhh yes!! The old school way 🔥🔥
I've done it several times
@@BoloDaProducer what does that mean play in note? So if I play f major do I only play keys that are f a c?
That's better than using 16 levels because all you 808s will play for the same length.
With mute groups

A good transient shaper will make your 808 knock a little bit of saturation in the mid-range we'll make it knock

Investing in the right drum kit helps a whole lot as well.
bolo droppin that knowledge
do u ever think about getting another montage/modx? whats your favorite board of that type that you own right now?
I might… not to sure yet
Evey now and then some 808s (or kicks) can be out of phase you can try to invert the phase on them and see if it helps.
True!
Bolo can you do a video on this topic to show people and it will help us out for the ones having problems with that please thank you

Correct!

Another dope joint!!
Appreciate that
Also but I think you might have said this but adding an correct kick to support the 808 so it can hit nice
What it do fam i see you Rewinding it like Dj Khaled ✊👑
I use Eq , and cut off filters at times
When it comes to 808 tuning, are we pretty safe with Logics Q Sampler "Optimized"?
“Pretty safe” most of the time 👍🏾
Sidechain your 808 and kick so the kick will duck when the 808 hits!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey bolo, I have to get a new account because my original one was hacked.. do I need to repay for my membership?
Might have to. Not sure how RUclips will handle it
On the Mpc turn on mono from poly
Bishop, where can we get GittFai kits?
I’ll get link for ya
@BoloDaProducer Much appreciated. I have all your kits and am looking forward to the new one.
Attenuate your sounds
This is great-oh-eight advice! 😂 I usually go to the perfect match 808&kick pack for most projects!
why use cheap studio monitors for high end studio gear it makes no sense

THANKS BOLO
👍🏾
Is it cool if I post this in a sub redit.
That's what I'm tryna learn, When to use an 808 or Synth Bass.

4:40 sometimes you dont even need an 808 you just need a sine wave n a kick lmao bolo you do know an 808 is a sine wave dont you?
Yes I do… to is a digital kick drum, snare, hi hat etc ….. I’m just saying it into modern terms
I bake my 808s directly in Serum's harmonics view.
Facts
I would use the EQ first then turn it up
Dope
Let’s get it Bolo 💯💯💪🏾
💯💯💯💯🔥
3 great tips....simple to follow AND this could apply to other instruments (frequencies) in the song. Thanks for sharing the gems.
Very insightful video 🔥🔥🔥
Maschine plus needs a tuner
True
Mess with the distortion
With analog its about adjusting the decible frequency. And it doesnt hurt to just get a pro to do your final mixdown.🙄
🫡💯💯
My method is not using the 808, that thing is overused.
So sick of 808’s…..
Exactly... 808's are overused.
