@@NavieD Oh no. I never worked with him but im speaking of the range of various artists hes worked with. From Jay Z to Missy to Aaliyah to Timberlake to J Cole and the list goes on
My personal favourite Timbaland technique is using multiple hihats: usually one very straight forward one in the middle in 1/4 or 1/8 notes providing a steady pattern, and then panned hats creatiny interesting accents around the steady beat in a polyrhytmic manner. Especially prominent in the earlier Timbo stuff! But also easily applicable to many different styles, consider for example Scott Storch type beats.
With your channel, there is no excuse for not getting better at making beats. I can see you teaching Music Production at a University. I'm super thankful that you're working at RU-vid University tho. Good work Navie D!
I've been making beats 20 years, so I'm jaded and find most neat producer channels silly and useless. You'd channel is one of the few where I truly feel i learn something new , every time. So shout out fir that!
I appreciate each of your videos. They're informative, down to earth and (that's special) are not 'hip-hop tutorial corny', if that makes sense. Thank you. Even when I know a concept, you're stilll able to make me think of it in a different way.
Oooo! A nice early drop on the video. Nothing like clocking in to work to immediately see a Navie D vid pop up! I know there are going to be gems in this one. Thank you my friend!
@@NavieD My pleasure! That first tip for not always needing to create a perfectly cohesive sample chop was a full on epiphany! Lol. You're right, it massively goes against my initial instinct, but have to learn to be comfortable with it. I think that'll be the breakthrough I need for this challenge. You know I suck at sampling. 😅🤣 Let's hope this helps.
@@NavieD That would be interesting, and might I add that you may want to include the differences between drift and regular Phonk. Highly misunderstood, I believe. lol Cheers.
Timbaland was just talking about this a week ago, when he went live.. Master your craft, and if you dont feel it; than you in the wrong profession. Thank you for posting this sir, from profession to profession.
A very analytical approach to music. Not everyone's brain works that way, but clearly some people are finding this style of instruction useful. I would recommend listening to Timbo, Madlib, Preimo, or Pete Rock, to find your inspiration...but whatever works for you. I will say that a hole doesn't always need filling and a rest, or space, in music is not 'nothing'. it's actually more something than the sound bc it's noticed and sound of the beat sound lulls you. A rest pulls you out of the hypnosis bc it's unusual...
100% badman. So glad I found this channel! Now hitting the subscribe button - this is an incredible video man! Off topic, are you using actual weights 🏋🏽♂️ or bodyweight for training 💪🏽
Totally different sounds; premiers beats go from 88 bpm to like 95 for an example but Tim is more 115 to 125 bpm; different tempos for different sounds ya know
@@treyvonnerobinson different tempos for sure. I was referring to the “sample chopping technique” specifically. I personally believe that Preemo masterminded that technique in the early to mid 90’s using short clips and space in his beats. That almost exclusively was an approach for majority of his beats. Timbo’s style isn’t built around chopping samples though he does it in the mix with live instrumentation, synth and the stop & go + bounce programming. Definitely different styles obviously…! But it’s the production technique of chopping short sample clips that came from Preemo originally, prior to Timbo’s appearance on the scene.
Ah, Serato. That was the other one I had my eye on. I gotta start spending money on my music software/hardware. haha Makes sense now why Timbo had all those percussive elements in his beats. To hide the ugly silent gaps you create when one shot sampling.. Genius! Man, Navie, you know how to inspire every Tuesday! Cheers!
😬😬😁😁🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Timbaland hands down is one of my favorites it was actually listening to his productions that inspired me to start creating music. I love his percussion work, weird sounds, and crazy rhythms he wasn’t afraid to be creative and his sound was so different. Great video!
Probably the different rhythms all going on at once and weird sounds I would sometimes use in my productions. I haven’t tried the one shot sample technique yet as I am still learning to sample..but it’s good to know these techniques to apply to my own music great series
I wanted to do the same with the samples where there's space in between a couple weeks ago, but I'm not advanced enough to make it sound good, so I didn't proceed with it. Now I will.
Hey Navie, can you reveal the second sample, the classical with the ludacris acapella? can't get it out of my head, nice flip. (i respect if you wanna keep the secret of course)
I’m new to production, I love these vids but it’s hard to understand some of the things because I’m on Logic Pro x. This is not a diss on you because I enjoys all your vids!!
Shout-Out to Apollo Brown, 1 of the talented individuals to ever dig-in in the crates. Most definately useful clip, I love all the techniques, I'm not going to struggle anymore, I've always used the automation clip to manipulate a sample envelope, of which I now find a hassle since I revised the first technique you've just taught, what stood out for me from that was how you "unsent" the side-chaining mixer track to the master channel, ahhhh! Amazing D! Thank you for keeping the wonderful tricks coming in, I'm really learning a lot from this channel. Navie D , please hook us up with how does Apollo Brown create thick abundant Bass-lines. #Navie_D
Is it just me or does Timbaland's style of sample use kinda feel like flowing down from how DJ Premier used samples sometimes? Even tho their styles of beats are pretty different overall
oh, is that not how people normally sample? ...i usually use chops as rythmic elements. good vid, everything i wanted to hear again. Can you make a tutorial on drum bus compression please.
@@NavieD Yeah the way he creates his own loops and chop them up is unreal!! like this one for Nas: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z1pxY6NhhVk.html Now? It's like he's not as active as before. More 'trap' sounding track, still this Khalil touch but not really my cup of tea ... His Native Instrument expansion is pretty cool! some demo songs here, if you want to listen... www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/expansions/artist-expansion-dj-khalil/ But I'm really waiting for you to include Kahlil in this series, it's gonna be a really tough one..! ;)
I wish more producer's would make their own bollywood strings and indian type sounds though, instead of sampling them from someone else. It's more than possible with strings and other sounds from synthesizers. More people should start creating their own sounds, I'm telling you it makes you so much more skilled and know a shit ton about synthesis...SBN RESONATE
Timbaland hasn't ever been my favorite producer, but I agree he is the best producer and def the top dog in the producer world now a days, not even close... Others make better beats and others promote better but nobody rides that line like Timbo!
