Three producers walk through beat-making fundamentals in a DAW. Learn how to isolate kick drums on separate tracks, extend loops to four bars with hi-hat variations, and program 808-style kicks using low-frequency operators.
Sa. Is send the kick, only the kick over here and leave everything else here. And he'll talk to you about why he does that. But let me just walk you through how you would do that. What we're going to do is in this audio track we're going to say audio from. See everybody that sounds cool doing it and everybody that doesn't sound cool not doing it. I'm like totally serious. That sounds harsh, but it's kind of true. So check it out. So here's my groove that I just made.
So now when I add an open hi hat normally I'm gonna extend my loop out to like maybe four bars and I'm just gonna select all
duplicate command E and command A, command D, move it over.
And then on the last one, on the last quarter note of the clip itself, I'm going to put pretty much
as low as I could go. And another one is an operator that's programmed to kind of be like an 808 kick that is tunable. And then the third one is sort of a growly mid bass thing that might remind you of dubstep or something. See, I really like this. And a lot of what I was doing in the last video, same concept applies.
Hello. Hello everyone. Welcome to this Making Beats class. This is going to be quite the class. I just finished putting it all together and now I'm making the first video. What I've done in this class is I've invited some friends because making beats and making music at all, but especially making beats right now is an art. And to put together a class where I just show you how I do something is a little one sided. I really wanted to show you how other people do it and give you a sense of different styles, different techniques, mostly techniques and different tricks you can do to make the coolest sounds. So this class is going to be taught by three people, kind of four. There's three and then there's a guest appearance of one person. I'm going to be walking you through this whole thing. I'm going to be kind of guiding you through. I'll be sort of the Yoda of the class. And then we'll have all these video segments from a couple of really fantastic producers that I've asked to contribute to this class where they're going to walk through making a complete track from beginning to end. And they're also going to walk through one of their finished tracks that's out and mastered and available and they'll just walk you through it and show how they made it using all these different techniques. Along the way, I'm going to show you how I do stuff and point out some of the technical aspects of what they're doing. So they're going to say, I do this technique and I'm going to show you how to do it. So it's going to be a lot of fun. I think you'll enjoy it. Please join me on the inside. Right away, we'll be introducing our collaborators, and then we'll get started. See you inside, Sam.
