About that chord where you raised a note to one that isn't in the scale, it's called a dominant chord (or 7 chord). And it's not the only time you can use those non-diatonic notes. You can make any minor third into a major third and vice versa, which will effectively turn any chord into a dominant chord. Dominants lead to a major or minor chord that is 4 scale degrees up. So you have these chords here Ebm, B, Bbm, Bb7 (dominant) (no root note) But because of that dominant, you can actually move it to something starting on an Eb major because of that dominant chord. Here's an example Eb, Ab, Eb, Bb7 You can make any chord you want into a dominant chord. And that will act as a pivot point to a major or minor chord that is a fourth above your dominant. So that second chord progression could be something like this Eb, Ab7, Dbm, Db Mixing and matching these dominant chord pivots at different times is how you come up with unique progressions that sound good and nobody is doing.

time to pop open fl studio use maybe 1 tip about chords and nothing else bc i got bored and create the most mid type beat known to man all it needs is my booty ass producer tag at -7 db and its ready to go up on discord thank you jmizza

For not so experienced producers I don't think structure should be the main focus as you don't really even have an understanding of how it will sound structured yet. It's still good to keep in the back of the mind. If you're new, I believe it's better to focus on getting an understanding of good sounds and getting good ears.

anybody can make good music digitally but if you already have any sort of background with music by playing an instrument and understanding how music works in that regard youll have a much easier and funner experience creating digital music.

One little trick I use for arrangement is acapellas, if you have a rapper in mind, and a tempo set, make your beat then fit an acapella on it and arrange it around said acapella, it doesn’t work ALL the time but it definitely allows to you get a feel for what you’re going for.

This is the first video i was able to watch thru despite my adhd to learn how to make beats. Thank you bruh

Great video. I want to add to the 6:22 tip: If you don't have side buttons on your mouse, just hold ctrl + left click on the sounds from drum kits. It will do same thing.

That's the thing. industry beats are so basic. Make what sounds good to you and be different 🙏🏾🙏🏾

jmizzy boutta throw a hissy if ur beats ain't got the rizzy no kizzy

Thank you JMizzy!! I have found my new sensei!! I appreciate all that you do. I appreciate your attention to detail during the video. I had to watch it once just to get ready for the heap of information that you gave in this video. Work first, work again, and ask questions later. We can learn all day but when we dont apply what we learn its nothing. Make a beat, send it to someone you know. ASK WHAT THEY HONESTLY THINK. Find some producer friends online that dont know you so well. They are willing to provide honest feedback. Get in the game, make those beats, and keep learning a few new pieces everyday. GLHF

Great video! I want to quickly mention, the root note of a chord isn't necessarily the lowest note. Say you were to move the bass note up an octave, it would still be the same chord, but now having a different lowest note

You see, it's about time someone did a start to finish video.💯😁. Thank you.

4:02 a note on that, take a look at the default state of most plugin presets. they usually include some sort of reverb, esp. on keys & synths. so imagine now taking 6 or 7 sounds , and now 6 or 7 reverbs, and trying to make them fit. cluster fuck!

great video man!!!

Thank bro💯

As a beginner I thanks you for some great tips 👍

Omg Frfr thank you for sharing 😊

Hope you’re doing good in LA bro 💕

Goat fvr 🐐💯🔥

The scale image you put up is a different scale than what you used, that's the harmonic minor instead of the natural minor

This is helpful, thank you!

Bro plz make a video on basses like synth bass pluck bass sub bass where to place them (I am always confused which octave to use) It will help a lot bro to the sample makers

7:34 I want to add another trick to making hi hats rolls You can also make hi hat rolls before or after the snares 😎✌

Notificationgang 💪🏾

thank you for the tips! Could I ask what kind of headphones you’re using in the video? ATH-M50x?

Ay nice vid dude.

GOAT

Thank you. Your tutorials are a great help.

luh yo vids...

Hard bro 🙌🏼

You earned my sub

Bro so I started making music and nothing ever sounded right because it just didn't feel like my own stuff cuz I was using other people's beats and other producers. so I put in the time and effort to learn how to structure a beat and learn good drum patterns and good melodies and honestly I seen a lot of comments on this saying why people should just stop producing and stop taking the time to learn, which I completely disagree with. people just expect you to be a professional when s*** takes time you just got to spend the time and effort and realize that this kind of thing takes sacrifices. I'm in the studio 24/7 working on beats and sometimes I might not come out with something but most the time I put something together that I'm happy with and something that sounds like me and I even teach people how to make their own beats. so everybody who's saying just stop and don't take the time and that you're wasting your time, the one thing I got to say to you is let them be as beginners and watch them grow and watch your ass fail.

thank you man, really nice video for a beginner!

Big W

The beat is fire man

Amazing video 🔥

This is actually really nice, very helpful :)

PRO TIP load your parametric eq of choice in slot 10 and avoid the limited abilities of the eq suggested in the video while still taking into account the gems he dropped about the importance of the order of your plugin chain

bro i swear these titles reminds me of kbeazy

Thank you so much this was so helpful. 😇💯✨

proceeds to make a 2018 kbreazy type beat

How do you put your video in the top corner of your main video?

Man this🔥

Yo bro do you have a solution to make variation to each beat. I feel like a lot of my beats sound the same

1:31 YeAh ThAt AlReAdY sOuNdS gReAt

Ok so how do you get multiple patterns. I always get one huge patter and don’t know how to separate them to be able to structure my beat

does rolling hihats to the snare sound good cuz I do that alot like ttttk

The last beat I uploaded I used like nine instruments for the Melody….but it sounds like I used four u gotta know frequency and where to place each instrument in the mix…basically put some shit under the mix to where you can feel it more so than hear it if makes sense to u…but still less is more listen to bro 😅

Good video, but I'm too lazy to improve my (yet inexistant) skills

Ableton/Logic user here. The pattern block structure stuff went way over my head. What is a 2 pattern block- is that 8 bars? Is a pattern block in FL Studio roughly 4 bars in length? So 4 pattern block for chorus = 16 bars?

Does the root note/808 trick work if the 808 is in a different key etc?

you were clipping when you added the 808 and kick, is it normal to clip while making your song? i normally mix with my limiter on to gauge dynamics.

What will we call that original chord which you have replaced with (D F G#)? If we used D# F G which is basically using Major 2nd and Perfect 4th with root note, so what will be the name of such chord? Will it be 1st inversion of A#sus4?

I'll send a donation for that beat

🥶🥶🥶

"How to make a 2018 Nick Mira beat"

Why does mine sound faster than yours when played at the same BPM?

When I listened to Lil Baby's new album and compared it to my newer beats, I can confidentally say my beats and mixes are better than industry level in a lot of songs, the beats you hear on RapCaviar are often not even that great. The real good and top tier beats are the ones you find from lesser known artists. A lot of the industry productions that I've heard in Rap Caviar to my surprise often had really bad mixes, really mid beats and it's simply cause they have lost the soul in their music. Lots of the producers in there don't take time to make an interesting, somewhat unique beat, have a great balance, the perfect mix, etc. It's all just about quantity rather than quality and lots of people I asked on discord told me the same and they confirmed my mixes / beats sound better than most shit on there and I'm not even a super great producers. We just really don't give enough love and appreciation for the smaller producers who are often WAY better but simply don't got the marketing / networking skills and therefore stay unseen. Listen to people like Stxrm808, itwasashy, theskybeats, Slushex, Lionaire, Skypierr, Kedalos if you really wanna hear some of the most talented trap / hip hop producers out there who just don't really have a name. I feel like people are way too focused and have tunnel vision on the same generic boring shit we've had for the past years and forgot that there are lots of lesser known artists/producers whose songs/beats have much more work put into them and often sound much better and they're just too lazy too look for them

How did you make your fl studio look like that?

Do you have an older version of FL or is it just a template?

don’t boost 250hz, it’s a terrible muddy area, you should actually be doing a slight 1-3db cut in that range and boosting the root note instead

Dum kits ?

Question; why do you prefer older versions of FL over any of the newer versions like 20 or 21?

Fl 11?

💯💯😇

Good video. Two questions tho: how come his bpm is 163 but my 163 sounds much faster? Is he using halftime somehow? And how did he divided his piano grid into 8 mini boxes per bar, I can only get 4 boxes per bar

Need good 808s help me br0ther

they don't tho, i'm up

You look like Harry Maguire

Imagine making beats hoping to sell them to some rapper or dj......Make music because u love it, not because the internet has sold u a dream that there's a place for u on a stage or plaque

Homie is on FL 3.2

other producers beats sound better than urs cuz u didnt make it. its kinda like a mind trick lol like i didnt have to process every part of the beat myself over time and just heard their finished product so it sounds newer. plus comparing ur beats at all outside of a beat battle is kinda unnecessary, its music lol its not supposed to sound the same so sometimes the beat isnt better its just different.

Instructions unclear: I accidentally made a lofi/chillhop beat

Less is more. Listen to cold play and then go make some beats. They use like 8 sounds max

RIP Takeoff !

next video: why pvlace has more placements then you

As someone just getting started trying to use fl studios, I say this video isn't for me yet. I'm just shocked at his mastery of the software and the selection and editing skills happening so fast.

They also have the best engineers in the world mixing there songs and beats soo yeaa they’re gonna sound better😂

Man dead ass said e flat minor is the easiest scale to remember like a minor doesn't exist.

Tbh all them industry producers beats don’t be all that

Goated for real bro , you give good detailed tips and advice man inspiring every time you drop bro ❤

dude you should do shorts, theres a guy with 3k subs getting 200k views just posting 30 sec chop ups of these long forms. imagine what you would get, youtube shorts is still super early for producers

If you want to "use more sounds" you should look into orchestration. It's a "classical" technique like arranging, but the point of it is what kind of timbres work together, and which ones doesn't. Also, you might not be able to continuously layer 2 sounds, but you can change between them. Have them respond to each others melodies (as heard in DubStep a lot) will give you tons of extra detail and movement to your track. Also also, a quick and dirty way to introduce more colour to your track is to use the 7ths and sometimes 9ths. But, that requires a bit of music theory to work. So, for an interesting switch-up with minimal theory required; putting the 3rd or 5th of the chord (the middle one or the top one) in the bass will do the trick more often than not.

i think the biggest thing for beginners of music production is to experiment with everything and get use to all the effects tools sounds plugins and etc that you have at your disposal understand what does what and finding out why and when to use those tools and stuff. its all about practice and boosting that learning curve so that when youre ready to really discover your sound and make some legit music youll have all the tools and knowledge necessary for a solid foundation of music production.

What i learned from this... forget about all 7 mistakes and throw effectrix on everything to get the industry sound, ching ching, pshew.

the sheer amount of yknawhaimee in this video is throwing me off 😆. Anyhow great video man. These tips are great for beginners and novices but for your existing audience you've already given out this information before already. It'd be great help if you could make a video entirely on improving the creative process and workflow

thanks for your tutorial.

Thanks for helping me a lot dawg. Ur really underrated. U have helped even tho I'm a complete noob still lol

Not gonna hold you, and I think I'm gonna be that guy: Industry producers, at least most of them, SUCK!!!! There is no passion, there is no variation or nothing. Just listen to 4x by Stunna 4 Vegas., that simple ass beat. I hear more talent and passion from RU-vid producers like Raisi K, JacksonBeatz, Attic Stein, Tha J Sqaud, K Track Beats, ect. Like there is more flavor and passion and quality in their production than that in the industry.

bruh its clippin toooooooooooooooooo much

thanks for the 💎’s my g

I think a lot of the reasons some beats arent hitting is because they are trap beats. Once you get into other genres it gets a lot less "cookie cutter".

Do another Pierre tutorial

I few times or at least once I heard him say “A HUGE THING YOU GOTTA DO” like you have to listen to him and do exactly as he says OR ELSE! Like no bro like let’s be honest here, he’s right and wrong at different times a bit, but both at the same time too bcuz well one thing I’ll say and this is ofc imo is that people didn’t make rules for them to be followed every and all the time… THEYRE MEANT TO BROKEN HERE AND THERE!.. but just not for all of em like here’s an example of him sharing his opinion on something he claimed “YOU HAVE TO DO” (it’s at 3:14), like no that’s a personal preference thing but at the end of the day it’s on your part and totally up to you if u want to follow other peoples “rules” or do something different, go your own route / way with things…. Does anyone feel me on that or nahh??.. 🤨🧐🤷🏻

I've found your format of "why(insert specific subject) are better than yours" very helpful. Tons of information, but only useful information

No fckng way most of all the industry producers dont make their own melodies (🗑) Producers out here hustling making their beats from skratch 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

ngl starting drums first always makes it easier to make your beat hit

what a joke.
