The Art of Beat Making Videos: My Techniques 

The naked truth! I wish I could just turn on the camera and make a banger, but I can’t.. it’s way more that goes on behind the scenes than the actual beatmaking part y’all see. If I’m not teaching out anything, I don’t see the purpose of showing a 15min section of sampling a record and make a few decent chops. Don’t get discouraged by the movie magic that’s goin on. If my goal was to show exactly what I’m doing it wouldn’t be a 4min video. I think you should give it a try 👊🏻

Btw.. for me making these videos are therapy, letting things go.. otherwise I would just make stuff and never show anyone.. and that’s what I did for 20 years before I stared this RU-vid channel.

@@BoombapArt Thanks for the encouragement, I've had an idea for a channel forming for a while, I'll look into it after completing my set up (light bars similar to the godox in the vid arriving today!) Then also I understand the therapeutic side of things, that's what started me playing guitar (also 20 years ago), then also never showing anyone what i've been doing over the years so you're on to something! Respect 👊

Thanks 👊🏻

Thanks 👊🏻

Thanks 👊🏻

Thanks man! Makes my life a bit easier.. depending on how many clips I need to sync instead of manually line up everything! Killer feature 🔥💪🏻

Thanks 👊🏻

Thanks 👊🏻

No problem 👊🏻

Thanks 👊🏻

No problem 👊🏻

Thanks man! The “you make it look easy” part.. that’s the only part that’s showing. The preparations, going through a bunch of records, skipping through songs, chopping.. that’s for livestreams! 😉👊🏻

Thanks 🙏🏻

Thanks 🙏🏻 No problem 👊🏻

No problem my friend 👊🏻

Thanks B! 👊🏻 I’ve tried all types of captures, straight into the cam, using my wireless lav system and tapped the audio into my phone.. but I’ve always preferred to record the audio separately in case the cam files got corrupted for some reason. Been using GuitarRig since I started with RU-vid using the MK3. How do you capture your audio? Absolutely my friend! 👊🏻

@@BoombapArt I use Loopback, a computer program, for routing in the computer. I have several different virtual interfaces set up. One is just my web browser, one is splice, one is Maschine, etc. Then I have virtual devices in Loopback that have everything I use in specific types of videos. For instance, one is Maschine, Splice, Logic, and Safari. Basically I just select whatever I want to capture. My cameras all have mics on them so I just capture the room for audio syncing. Then, my screen recording captures the pro audio. Then I just synth them up in a Multicam view inside of my video editor and cut the video accordingly. Often now, though. I record through my streaming software, ECAMM Live, and do everything in post. The software is dope because it allows me to export all of the individual audio and video layers and everything is already synced :) However, when I'm filming or recording remotely I just send all the audio into a Zoom H5 and sync it up in the edit :) It sounds complicated because of the devices, but it's just a one time setup and has been easy ever since :) Your way is WAY simpler which is awesome. I just have to have all the separate routing because I draw audio from so many different sources and don't want to unplug and replug all the time.

@@BeauTylerMakesMusic it sounds like a total nightmare to set up 😱 whatever works is the best way to do things! 😁

Thanks a lot my friend 🙏🏻👊🏻

Thanks man 🙏🏻👊🏻 I really like them, plus they’re magnetic 🧲

Thanks 👊🏻

Thanks a lot Bobo 🙏🏻 This is the naked truth! 😁

Thanks man, appreciate it 🙏🏻👊🏻

Thanks fam! 🙏🏻💚 it’s all about working smarter, not harder. I did that mistake early on, shot everything in real-time.. but quickly changed tactics.. plus I save myself the headache of going through an hour of footage. The raw and uncut are better suited for live-streaming, in my opinion!

Thanks man! Now you know some secrets 😉👊🏻

Thanks! Now you know the secrets 😉👊🏻

Thanks! I’m equally interested in the video aspect even tho it’s a new area for myself, but for the ones interested it could be somewhat helpful 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Thanks! No problem 👊🏻

When I’m not “teaching “ anything, it’s more about the experience, how can I show the process in a simple but still entertaining way. I rarely script my videos unless there’s a topic and information I wanna get across. Agree, the ahh, uh, eh.. if they don’t serve a purpose I cut them out. I really enjoy the editing process where I can sculpture the video, the rhythm and pacing and deliver a certain feeling I want the viewer to feel after watching a video.

@@BoombapArt same I only script important topics etc. i also have gained a enjoyment when editing. To see ur vision come to life in itself is gratifying 👍🏾🎥

similar workflow! For some quick iPhone jams it’s nice to just hook up the MK2 directly to the phone via usb! 👌🏻

@@BoombapArt I do that too. I use an older iPad too. Fun times!

Thanks 👊🏻

No problem! When it comes to framing I try to make some wide, medium and close.. sometimes I record multiple takes/angles of the same pattern so I can switch between!

@@BoombapArt Word, thanks for the advice yo 🙏

Thanks 👊🏻

Always 😉😂

Much love my friend 👊🏻

Give me a time stamp! 🕵🏻‍♂️

@@BoombapArt the shot at 1:51 at the top right

@@MickBenjamins oh, the GoPro footage! Maybe bring some of that back? I just need to buy a new one 😬😁

@@BoombapArt Have you tried the wideangle lens of an iPhone? That might be able to capture a similar shot?

Yes you can. No problem 👊🏻

Thanks. I record the audio inside Adobe Audition with some headroom and set the final output in DaVinci

@@BoombapArt Thanks. Keep it up!

No problem! Thanks 👊🏻

Thanks! These are the iLoud Micro

@@BoombapArt thanks

@@jesusescudero9721 no problem 👊🏻

When I’m creating I often have a cup of coffee on the desk, but never spilled anything. You could try the old rice trick.. place your device in a bag with rice and seal it, let it sit over night.

Sup man, long time no see! Thanks 👊🏻 I don’t need to decode anything, I just import the raw files and proceed like normal..

@@BoombapArt ok cool!

@@ambrushadam the raw files are enormous tho 😬.. but I edit my videos straight from the SSD drive that I record everything on.

@@BoombapArt I make proxies with my 4K stuff which can be slow on my system, takes a little while to generate but makes editing faster.

@@ambrushadam I see. I don’t need to make proxies, the 4K raw files flows like butter 🧈

Absolutely. I think I touched on that in my workflow breakdown video, the different methods, sampling.. but I could make a new one. The knobs comes from store.djtechtools.com .. I also think I mentioned these in my “Accessories video”.

Cool im going to check that video out. By the way I really enjoy your work, from the videos to the beats. Lord bless.

Thanks a lot, appreciate it! Bless 🙏🏻👊🏻

Hi Vinnie! You don’t need to excuse yourself. I had to try myself, and like you said.. getting zero signal in slice mode. I never use it so I haven’t thought about it. I looked around and I couldn’t figure it out, sorry!! I tried to add a GR to a sample group but no luck. Thanks a lot appreciate it 🙏🏻👊🏻

@@BoombapArt Thanks for your quick response! I will keep trying! You are a boss and your beats are fire!🔥🔥🔥

If I find a solution I’ll let you know 👊🏻

That’s a good question. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@BoombapArt are you planning on getting one?

@@Thisninjascared Maybe, right now I don’t need one. I make all stuff inside Maschine software, unless I’m working in standalone.

It’s a hard one.. I really like the M+, 404 & One.. 😱

Nice
