I am a music producer, I rap sing and dance too. My sister's Ouija board spelled out the name of someone and it she actually is the mother of my first child. Then I asked who will be my first permanent and faithful wife it spelled out Jhene Aiko Effuru Chilombo. I looked the name up, a famous singer has it... Then I said I am going to have multiple wives then it started spelling those girl's names. A Ouija board is like a board game you ask questions tells you the truth. I am going to become a king, the top king. And create the most advanced technology and use it to keep me, my 1000 wives, and our offpring alive for ever from now on. Always being alive from now on. These things are happening as you read in the beginning of this comment. :-) I am going to be number 1 in music, technology, and running a kingdom being the king of it. A whole continent.

When you are high,( for me this works)I think a lot more, especially sounds I be like what's that noise, but a lot of things come in rhythm when you're high. And i get ideas that I will never thought I will find or think of
@@K.Y.Z I know😆 every time when im high. I See a diferent World innmy eyes. My life feel fast like a shinkanzen in Japan. I cant feel my body anymore. All feels like flying. My emotions Hit different. Then the drop of the beat. Smoothness and sickness became hard. That's a feeling. After that the next time smoke. I smell the taste of calli. It's fantastic. A different world. I'm not a Junky but it's fantastic. Every time
Learn the punch in layout for the mixer and playlist and just name them + color them before you put the mixer channels in the playlist. Then all you gotta do is select where you want to start according to the instrumental and tap the space bar to record while your Rec Track is armed.
@Jordan Leonard I'm not really sure what you're saying, but would this method help me with the fact that I take hours and hours to comp all my takes into 1 solid take?
Coming up with a sick 8 bar loop, listening to it over and over again because you love it, then it loses its magic and you question if it’s actually good, then you lose faith in it and shelf the project. Made this mistake too many times lol. Only listen to your track if you’re actively working on it or checking the mix on other speakers!! Also don’t show friends a track until it’s 100% done. It’ll motivate you more to finish.
The song isn’t complete and finalized until you personally hate it and never want to hear it again Edit: I came back to see this comment blow up lol I pretty much wrote this comment right when I was recording my current release. You can check out the music video we just dropped to find the song I absolutely hate now!
@@fearpacex6000 i relate so much. i’ve been cooking up a massive 3d/2d animated project for my channel for over a year now but i’ve held off posting because of toxic perfectionism. honestly now that you make that point, i should just do it
It's even more funnier because you get a snare but you keep going down and find a potential snare and spend more time to think between the snares; "Which one am I gonna use?"
the hardest part is finding / making your instrument, real shit. i can hear it in my head and throw the notes down but sit there for hours on an instrument
It depends a lot on what your trying to make but learning more about how synthesis works helped me. Now instead of taking 2 hours to find a nice lead preset I spend 3 making my own.
because of 10 years of listening to edm, and stuff specifically like porter robinson and that, i can now make whole ass dnb tracks, edm tracks, all that in my head, as a real song and continue it forever, i just have no clue of how to make the sounds
Hours I’ve spent trying to find the right packs/sounds 😭 just for a 30-45 second ad instrumental. I swear music production is worst part of my job but very rewarding hence I enjoy it
Bro if you are doing freelance work, you gotta learn to get away with the least amount of work possible. Don't spend hours if you can get away with using samples you find in 15 minutes. I don't work professionally as a producer, but i worked in graphic design and it's the same general idea.
And then you start cutting corners using samples that don't fit what you have in mind, and end up with something completely different or half what you intended.
exactly, then i just use like a stock snare or the same snare ive been using on other beats but the snare depends more on the type of music I'm trying to make lol
A little method I’ve tried to start using is to stop looping the track while still figuring out sounds and placement that you want for everything, or just not keeping it on repeat in general, and pausing and playing in the spots you’re adjusting and adding into Helps with the “hearing it so much you go from head bobbing to hating it” problem
And then when you find the one that fits the vibe, you'll run across three more that you think will fit even better so now you're in the fight again to see which one sounds the best out of those three versus the one that you already using. Day 3....
Instead of looking for the perfect snare, what I do is I'll take a snare that gets close to what I want and start EQing it and put effects on it untill I like it. I think that's easier instead of wasting time finding the right snare in your library.
Aight so i just started producing im learning all the basics rn and i was feeling discouraged because i would just be staring at my laptop for 2 hours trying to find the perfect snare. Now i know im not alone 😂
Yeah bro it gets like that sometimes, gotta tough it through the hard parts tho, because trust me the first part of this video is still true, i have a lot of sessions where its just pure vibes and everything seems to be going my way, don’t give up bro I believe in u🙌🏽
How'd you get started, what genre you produce, and did you learn music theory prior? I write and been thinking I should produce my own to cut out a middle man also because I love the boom bap and think I should try to hone my own sound.
I’ve had days where it’s nothing but alternating sounds with effects for hours and hours and out of nowhere BOOM. A loud screech and speakers breaking with crackling and feedback.
Those promo videos where the artist comes into the studio to sing a song and the producer cooks up a whole beat like it's playing an instrument are the most infuriating thing to me as a composer/producer. So I'm glad videos like this exist.
GOD me too. As a lyricist it enrages me as well, but from the other side. The same way producers need time to cook up and mix and master, lyricists need time to craft something that's actually good. Almost nobody actually just goes in the booth with nothing and starts randomly spitting on a beat they're just hearing for the first time.
I remember going to my buddys house to watch him make beats for an artist he partnered up with and literally 2 hours were spent looking for the right snare, 808 and hat. The end result was f🎉cking glorious, hats off to all the producers out there keep your heads up 🥴
I had a crush who was teaching me some basics of fl studio. There's a song we picked to remix and I asked when we were going to work on it. They're like....uh, that's gonna be boring af 😬 Now I get it lmao 😂
mixing is underrated, everybody loves getting new sounds but the satisfaction of manipulating a raw sound into something that blends into the mix is unmatched - mixing is an art in itself y’all, it doesn’t just have to be boring ass eq and limiter
I rap and sing and do some of my own production and THIS SHIT REAL, there's a reason I write more than I produce😂Big ups to the producer community❤❤❤❤❤🙏💜💙💚🧡💛🙏❤❤❤❤❤
That’s why it’s best to set up a template with go to sounds and change the sonics as you go, saves a huge amount of time, plus organizing beats into monthly folders is a major gem
@@KhalifBeats 1. Click on file explorer (where all your files are located) 2. Click your usb/ hard drive 3. Click on the tab that says “New Folder” 4. Congratulations you now have created your folder Extra organization: 📁(Make sure to put the MP3, Wavs, & Stems in a beat folder so when you sell your beats it’s organized, include key and bpm) 📁(Track out your Melodie’s for collab opportunities in a folder with your tag) Best of luck!🤞
I think that is half of my problem. While I'm making one beat I'm thinking of about five other beats that I can make out of that same track and It remix for the beat that I'm working on at that moment. While the idea is burning in my head, I would save the track that I'm working on to start on two other tracks at the same time by pulling up two different FL Studios to start two new tracks at the same time and then halfway through those I think about three more other songs and and that cycle just continue most of the time. I had to fix that problem but I just recording myself sounding it out and saving it. I will just work on one be at a time and listen to the recording to put it together the best way that I can remember
@@pk1mp well then go on yt n search up how to make melodies or whatever you are struggling with.. Don't think u know it all uk try to get in touch with other producer's
@@zombi3on394 hell yea bro I know what u mean by all these ideas flowing in then u don't know where to take them. just remember you are making beats for artists so try to freestyle or smt think like the artist n if u can't that means you need to create space. This is why I prefer to work in person with the artist
As a producer, just like my fellow producers (because I know all of you can strongly relate to this), this is the most stressful, and time consuming part of the Beat making process. Finding the right sound, is a struggle, but we get through it in the end.
A good tip to help push past this would be to just grab a sound that fits the "idea" of what you're going for, make the beat, level it, arrange it, then just don't touch it. Then come back with a few songs piled up on a day when you're not feeling super creative and just dive deep into getting the right sounds. This always helps me especially since im not feeling creative at the start but if I find a combo of sounds that inspires me to start WANTING to add more music and it starts to flow, I know I've got the sounds im looking for. Separate the analytical from the creative and let them fuel each other.
Tysm brv I want to make music like sewerslvt and shit becuase I love breakcore but when I try to make a song after some time I don't know what to do and get demotivational thoughts
So when is this piece getting released 👀 sounds like the fruits of your labor paid off!! At least I’m not the only one clicking through multiple sounds to find the right one, ultimately to just delete it and start over haha( or just have a project sitting in a file for months)
@@sleekelegancesuave Great point. Best way to do well is set parameters then make the best of what you got. Don't know how good you have it until you go for it.
@@jowildcat40 i had to tell my self this as a composer and beat producer, im african american as you see and my love is hip hop and RnB but i dont just stick to that type genre, I advance myself to country, pop, and gospel, and so much more. Im not mediocre in my gift, i love to take advanced routes
My admiration for Bang Chan even goes up to the higher level after watching this vid. How does he even produce music and being an idol at the same time. Hands up for my man👏
it’s fucking vital, once I was looking for a sound for a melody for 3 hours, I got fucked up and just wound it myself in half an hour, then the next day I tuned this sound for 4 hours
The exact reason I write lyrics and don’t produce. It takes a mastermind to make the impossible happen! Shout out to all the engineers, and producers! Your the reason our talent stands out even more! ❤️ 🎼 Edit: It’s also why I keep my Producers Signature mark on the songs and they get 50% after exclusive.
*and the instrumental getting to your nerves cus you've heard it a gazillion times on loop and you start thinking "damn maybe this ain't that good acc"*
