what the funk! woo. reminds me of afro kung fu old school shit. love it!


@somar, I'm going to try to mix the sample and beat a little better. maybe i should eq those rides out of the sample itself? damn, i love me my rides though! post some shit up bro, i been creeping on you and quincy banks sound cloud.
regarding the sample, check the inbox.

You guys got any tips? Noob on FL studio and i'm finding it hard to get a tune i want on Piano Roll, it's like i know what i want it to sound like but getting that sound into Piano Roll seems impossible, any tips?

Nice beats by everyone as well

Never draw anything in, just play it in, it sounds more organic and its easier than putting together random notes

You have to continue to mess with pitch/chords/etc. until you get what you want.Even your Reverb sometimes.Once you get the hang of it you wont struggle too much anymore.

Cheers man

And i don't draw them in, maybe using my laptop keyboard makes it harder?

Ah i see Gilly, ive Warbeats' newer tutorials and a couple of his older ones, i guess i gotta learn more music theory if i wanna get serious with this beat making

But it begs the question, do all producers know music theory? Just makes me wonder if they just make what they think sounds right, ignoring the theory altogether

Thanks btw lads

Most producers don't but you might want learn the basics if you want to build and progress in the variety of beats you make.Learn your Major/Minor chords first. They're easy to work with in my opinion. Scales are good to learn too.

Funny thing is it is really split between who knows theory and who doesn't. I find there is a group of people who don't "know" theory but are great learning/playing by ear. But there is a big population of people who only sample because they don't have any real knowledge of music theory. Usually though through fcukin around with samples and trying to mix a few different samples from different songs together you learn a bit of music theory. Don't ever feel constrained by the rules of music theory. Also using your laptop keyboard makes it harder imo. When I first got a laptop and Ableton I attempted that which made me get a few midi controllers. Also by knowing music theory you can add little riffs to a sample making it more of your own. I like this technique as I usually loop sample but loop sampling is lazy and uncreative imo so by adding riffs and lines it adds more of me in the sample.

I dont know Music Theory, most bedroom producers dont, and a lot of producers who strictly sample dont, but all the greats do, I'm trying to learn theory myself, so its definitely something you should look into, but you dont really have too

@ Brun on Midi Controllers

Well it is all an investment if you feel you will need it sure why not. I have found I use it for playing simple chord riffs when I need them to be more interesting and when I am playing chopped up samples but again I don't sample much that way more of a loop based sampler when I do. Otherwise I need little more than my mouse, software, and my mind. I am an avid Reason/Ableton user who makes use of the Redrum, Groove Extraction, ReGroove, and re-quantization so I was able to not have to use my MPD anymore. Still use my midi keyboard time to time for what I listed before. I am actually gonna upgrade mine soon to a better 49 key as I wanna get better at playing piano and will prob just use modules found in Reason to learn sheet music. I also have a Launchpad which gets use when I am producing in Ableton quite frequently. The point of this is to say figure out what you are gonna use them for. If it doesn't fit your workflow or another motive don't get one. IMO costs of studios should go as such DAW > Education > Audio Interface >Headphones/Monitors > Midi controllers. Break it down what is manageable to you. You can skip some money costs by illegally downloading DAWs or self-teaching music theory and learning the ins and outs of your DAW. Every producer can tell you the little tricks and tips of their Power DAW and what does whatever you need do.

Yeah if you dont really wanna spend money on a DAW, I suggest torrenting it
