Word at the drums, thanks

uhh how do i add more bass? @uh-oh

aint that just how the drum hit sounds

[Malachi]

So I was tryna figure out a simple way to add more bass and i went on the mixer and used this shit called Soundgoodizer and bass booster.

not sure if that what i shouldve done. but doesnt sound that bad to me

its tight how much shit / features in fl tho

[uh-oh]

word malachi, my bad i had to work yesterday kind of fucked up my weekend

but yea when i do get around to making my next vid i'll try and focus on the piano roll drum programming

and the mixer

so i'll show you how to bring the bass up in the sample itself.

i use the soundgoodiser too, i use it at the end tho, and only on the master channel, and i don't use alot of it. like i turn the knob so its only like 1/4 highlighted.

also you can play basslines as well, im terrible at it, so i kind of chop for basslines as well and filter/sample them but that gets complicated

i don't want to throw too much at you at once

[uh-oh]

but you chopped that sample right, and the drums were fine

[Certain]

The drums were on point, just not loud enough.

basslines, yes they can be from bass guitar, hip hop also uses synth basses

and yea you can move onto the next ones, just keep chopping samples and arranging patterns and doing drums etc

im going to want to teach you more complicated chops eventually but before that i can teach you other ins and outs


piano roll programming, be it drums or virtual instruments like bass.

mixing, and how to use the mixer

mixing is like a whole area in an of itself, there is the "theory" i guess you would call it. like the basic set of rules for hip hop. kicks and snares in the forefront being loud, bass centered/mono etc. shit like that

but then you also have like effects and shit. how to use filters, eq's, compression stuff like that

ill get more into those things once i teach that i'll go to 2 beat and 1 beat chops

and remember you can take 2 bar, and 4 bar chops as well

its all about what you hear when you listen to a sample. there might be a dope 2 bar loop, and you play it 3 times, and then a 1 bar loop twice for a change up

the possibillities are endless

word at basses, how do i get em

and u gon make the video out of piano roll/mixing? word word
what the point of those other like mixing channels anyway besides the main one.

2-4 bar chops? wont that sound sped up?

speakin of the change up is there like a map of a beat? like you know what i mean


Like the parts of it, thats why i feel like it aint done.

Like u got your main part and then u get yo chorus right?

but ight ill look for another song to sample

[Malachi]

soul music is just dope tbh

[uh-oh]

its my favorite music

i listen to it more than anything else

@uh-oh

[uh-oh]

16 BAR VERSE

8 BAR HOOK.

intros/outros can be whatever.

most of the time my beats are structured like this, but keep in mind choruses and verses can be switched up. don't gotta start with the hook every time, you can drop right into the verse and then switch to the chorus etc


4 bar intro
8 bar chorus/hook
16 bar verse
8 bar chorus
16 bar verse
8 bar chorus
4 bar outro


now in some genres and some hip hop you can do bridges too

it would be like

16 bar verse
8 bar chorus
8 bar bridge
16 bar verse

so basically after the hook/chorus, there might be a bridge, rappers like 50 utilise that shit, he's the best at it because its usually like a sing songy type piece "bridging" it back to the verse. usually memorable like hooks because its a change up but brings it back

but word just have a start, verses and hooks alternating and your good

you can structure it however you want tho, you can have a 32 bar verse lol or more

just try and keep it in normal bars tho that make sense, not like 33 bar verses lol

[Malachi]

@uh-oh when u said the 2-4 bars chops thoo how wouldnt that sound sped uo the step sequencer and whaterver.

and shit thats long lol

[uh-oh]

when you time stretch a chop, look at your options, its not just 1 bar

its

1 beat
2 beats
1 bar
2 bar
3 bar
4 bar

so if you take a longer chop, 4 bars in length, when you click the drop down, dont hit "1 bar" that will make it sped up, put it on the 4 bar option

you are telling the program how long it is basically.

this works with the other lengths as well

if you want a 2 beat chop (half of 1 bar is 2 beats) you only take a 2 beat chop, instead of a whole 1 bar chop.

those options are whats available

you can take any size chop you want. about as small as you will ever chop is a half of a beat.

thats like a 1 bar chop cut in 8 even pieces. there is no preset for that in the dropdown, and that lesson is for another day

but basically you can timestretch all the lengths i listed above in the timestretch drop down when you right click the time knob

i might have a 1 bar loop 12 time and then have a 4 bar loop take it into a hook/chorus section.

you can do any combination of chop lengths to arrange sample chops to make your own shit, or to vibe with the sample

[Malachi]

oh okay wordd,

[Malachi]

lol idk why but countin the beat to chop is fun

[Malachi]

@uh-oh

you know the step sequencer? u can make it longer. will ther ever be a reason to do that?

[Split]

close this garbage, PMs or Skype him you scrawny faggot
