So You Wanna Make Beats - One

  • Thread starter Thread starter biggrome
  • Start date Start date
It's just that too much of that is opinion. You should call it Big Romes guide to starting out making beats.
Plus you don't say or state any reasons that anyone should follow you or take your ideas seriously.
usually you would have some kind of preface- like the author is who with what kind of experience and Why you are worthy of writing ANY kind of guide.

Also, you broke the ultimate rule of being an authority.
You created a rule and then said ....not really.
Use the cleanest drum sounds you can find unless your goal is to have dusty drums.

I can back pedal on every piece of advice you give.
And so right as you say: Don't be afraid to use bizarre sounds, they make your songs unique...
"Unless you want to fit in with the current landscape then you need to use similar sounds to what's already popular..."

Some stuff I just totally disagree with.
I want to make music, but I have to read forums first?! WTF
And I also can't post?
Like a forum is the best place to get information on production?
Wrong, it's not. Blogs aint either.
Don't spend any money, but when you do: get the most expensive flagship DAW with tons of features you wont use for years????

When upgrading is so cheap?

And most of the advicee won't make sens to a newb. Untrained ears don't hear what experienced ears do. Do you think ANYONE who makes cluttered tracks hears them as cluttered? or any other taste or technical flaw? Dudes will do and follow what they read.

I say you pick an angle and go 100%. Either be technical and NAME every DAW and production option, technique and tendency or go opinion and give your advice based on your personal story. This is what I shoulda done because...

I like the IDEA behind this, but the execution is, in my opinion, poor.

You give a lot of questionable advice with very little explanation as to why you're giving it.

And yes, you state that this stuff is your opinion, yet you never say who you are and why your opinion should matter to anyone.

Also it seems very amateurish, which would be a huge turnoff for someone just starting. You use the F-word and very colloquial language throughout - as someone just starting out, I would be looking for professional (or at least professional-appearing) advice, not advice from some random dude.


And on a basic level, im not a fan of the format. All bullet point lists and very little in-depth information. Its like a PowerPoint presentation without picture and without an actual presenter... which needless to say is probably not what you want to be going for.


No hate... again, a good idea i think, just needs some tweaking in the execution. Best of luck.
 
Sounds good, try not to remix songs, be all original, make a sound for yourself.

Holy cow! I didn't peep that fully till you said that.
It does look like the presenter's notes.

Like if he said "Buy the most expensive version" and then went on to say that he used the Limited Edition and couldn't finish off a track because it didn't have XYZ feature...

Sounds good, try not to remix songs, be all original, make a sound for yourself.

With the counter opinion that it's good to remix songs for practice (I believe this is Big Rome's main focus as far as beats go, I mean, everything he posts on this forum is followed up with another remix link :). Or by copying other producers, you can learn yourself. I see that advice dispensed all the time.

Thanks for the feedback guys but you actually drove home the point I was getting at, it actually IS biggrome's guide to starting out making beats - but I thought the title I chose was better because I didn't want to heave importance on myself. I'm not the authority on anything. 95% percent of the people here aren't they're just people that learned to do things and share information. That was the entire purpose of this site, it's to learn from people that have learned by trial and error and people that don't believe there is a stupid question and if other people ask questions that they know the answer to... they tell them the answer. The don't have to Berkelee graduates.

I can't say that what you guys suggested falls into - "what's wrong with it".

I did this once before and it's gotten 64000 views and almost all positive responses... read the responses of people that thought it gave them an uncluttered down to earth starting point...

Read the first responses and then skip to the last two pages and read the last responses... and then read what you wrote.

https://www.futureproducers.com/for...s/hip-hop-prod-101-bangin-beat-pt-1-a-229133/

No one complained about the format or who I was, I'm a guy that makes beats and my "selling point" is my music. I don't need credentials from schools or anything.... I'm telling people what I've learned from TRIAL AND ERROR, it even says so in the beginning.

It's not supposed to be professional. It's like a manual that's written by that mechanic down the street that fixes peoples cars and they keep running.

This isn't a college writing assignment. I'm not going to try to write it in APA style format.

So instead of me slinging around credentials or keep shit and bytch out of the lingo... I treat it like the music I intend on teaching people how to make Hip Hop. Hip Hop is unpolished, uncut, raw... so should my little "newsletter". I wouldn't do a lot of what was suggested because that seems kind of boring to me.

So if people want to listen to some wack azz Berkelee scholar with the most colorful newletter with the best fonts around... my little rag isn't for them...

BUT! if they want to know how I got to what "I THOUGHT" were mistakes along the way... they should read it. I had LIVE 8 and upgraded to LIVE 8 SUITE... so after a few years I found myself learning the instruments in LIVE 8 SUITE when I could've just gotten the entire deal right off the bat and be familiar with the whole product. BUT! nobody is going to follow my words word for word so what's in it is pretty much "take it or leave it" it really can't be picked apart.

At the end of the day, the newletter is about making music and some things you can avoid. Like jumping from DAW to DAW and finding out that you wasted money on one. Web forums arent the authority on anything but they are places where you can get advice from current users and damn near EVERYBODY! goes to webforums for advice no matter what their needs are. I wouldn't take any of those "college music" courses or buy any of those "Tutorial DVD's" that only teach you what a volume knob is. I got duped by a few of the nicely packed DVD's and have been bored to phuggin' death by some of the Computer Music tutorial vids.

I'm teaching how to make beats and get to making them with the least amount of headache / heartache... and people will still do what they feel is best for them.

With that said... here are my credentials... I'm teaching people how to make beats... if they want to see pretty stationary and learn what panning means... they won't hear it from me. They'll hear a guy who's advice has the NUMBER ONE STICKY in the tutorials section... giving a little more PERSONAL advice, everyone is super welcome to "take it or leave it"

Now who wants to make beats ... and who wants to read stationary and be lectured to in college terms... I make Hip Hop music Ghat Damn it... get ready to learn how to make Hip Hop. I'm writing about stuff "I" have tried, experienced and learned... can't say it'll please people that "disagree" with what I write but they can do them if they like... reading it is optional. Not trying to be all Flim Flam Flim but I guess I should've just said thanks but no thanks to the suggestions. I'm doing the next one tomorrow and only the reader knows if they want to read more of it. I suggest that people that got nothing out of the first one, throw in the towel on it because it's going to be more of the same.

I'm excited about writing it now!

People when you're done with my little newletter, you'll be glad you read it. Here are all of the credentials I have - just trying to share what I know wit cha' - peace. Take a listen before you bounce.

... and yes, remixing will be covered in the future, plugins to use if you don't know music theory, best effects to use if you don't know how to mix... all o dat... from my experiences. Can't hate on attempting to help.

BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR VOLUME TWO!







Next one was scrapped mid way through...

And so...all of that follows this opening statement?

"This is something I did today and might continue, let me know what's wrong with it."

Right. Good luck with this.
 
^^^^ Exactly hahahaha. This guy asked for opinions and then when he got them he was mad. "LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVE ME!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SO WRONG!!!!!!"

If all you were looking for was praise you should have said that in the first place.

Nah, what I was trying to point out that my "style of writing" has been done before and it was kind of well received. Since it was called amateurish and all that. Write some scholarly ish and you will lose the Hip Hop reader - I didn't want to bore people to death or impress them with my vast vocabulary. I pointed you to that thread to show you how many other people found nothing wrong with the style of writing and I didn't even have to use grammar correction or spell check to get the info to people - and they still found "some" usefulness in that impulsive post. When I asked "What's wrong with it?" I was going more for trying to find out if it's too vague, too general, needs more of this, more of that...

I gives a damn about the fonts, stationary and it's not to sell myself as a music guru... so what you guys posted really wasn't "what's wrong with it" in my opinion. I was actually looking for feedback from people that are just beginning... they probably would've had questions / comments that align with what I was going after... not font and bullet comments.

I was supposed to say who I am? why does that matter? can people use the info is what matters.

It was supposed to be prettier? would that change the usefulness of the content? can people use the info is what matters.

I'm pretty sure you both would've went about it differently but at the end of the day... it doesn't matter who you are if you're not giving out an info people can use or if it's on a .pdf that you can fold into an origami MPC when you're done.

I wasn't really looking for praise, the original post is one sentence long and hardly anybody in this section knows who I am because I don't post in it... and I didn't start off with "Well, I'm so and so" as was suggested. A .pdf was posted - in an ugly format with cussing in it and still nobody said what was wrong with it, lol. Somebody didn't like cussing and the bullets... and that's what's wrong with it?

Maybe the question was too high level. Griffin Avid hit on some differences in opinion with the DAW references but I can't write what Griffin Avid thinks... because I'm not him. I'm not going through it with a fine toothed comb and explaining why web forums aren't the authority because it's free... just something I did instead of making a beat.

If you want to learn how to make beats! keep checking out So You Wanna Make Beats ? it's simple and straight to the point. As you advance musically and technically, you'll find out that you may have saved some dough and won't have useless equipment laying around or wouldn't have been bumping your head against the wall as much.

Take it easy. Gonna write the second one now.

Why would I want praise, lol. Makes no damn sense. I'm going to write all of it just as a brain dump and then compile all of it when I'm done and I'm sure I'll get some "useful" feedback along the way and I "might" pretty it up after I get down to the final stages and have nothing else to tell.

It's going to make the best sellers list when I'm done.

Come on son. Lets call a spade a spade. The fact of the matter is you asked for peoples' opinions, you got them, and then you got super defensive about it.

The bottom line is this:
You asked for opinions. You got them. If you didn't agree with them, that's fine, but you didn't have to come back with the "I'M SUPER AWESOME AND YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT" attitude. All you had to say was "thanks for the feedback" (you know... the feedback YOU ASKED FOR) and kept it moving.


And honestly, I knew in advance this is exactly what was gonna happen, which is why I put that "no hate..." line at the end of my post. I'm around these forums, and while you have contributed/do contribute a lot of good stuff here, which I appreciate, in my opinion you are a little bit of an e-diva and don't take criticism very well.

It might seem counter intuitive but sometimes the way to save money is to actually buy hardware first in order to take advantage of any bundled software's upgrade path.
 
^^ Well said. Also, the DEMOS will do you just fine. NI (last time I checked) had fully functional demos that run for 30 Minutes before timing out. Man, I must have made 100 tracks using Battery 3 before finally buying it. IK Multimedia has demos that work fully for 30 days. If you can't tell after a month...

Well anyway. Rome, you put forward a false argument of it being ONLY one way or the other. Either you talk like a homie or an stuff Brit professor from Oxford. C'mon dude.

Here's 10 (arbitrary number, I could write 20) simple ideas that get the point across in better ways and WHY you would use them.

1) For the boring tech stuff, you could link to OUTSIDE SOURCES. Don't know the basic, basics? Here, go to *this site** and read all the boring stuff. You don't have to reinvent the wheel AND instead of just saying yeah the internet is a good place to learn shizz, you actually show WHERE. Makes you seem smarter already.

2) You could give examples. Embedded Video: If youtube is a great place to look for info, your own video has more focus and it puts YOU out there. Makes it more personal that an anonymous PDF floating about.

3) You embed links to your youtube channel/homepage/twitter/whatever and it brings them home. You are now getting hits and numbers and driving traffic.

4) Embed audio. Hearing and seeing (Hello sites like soundcloud) makes a HUGE difference.
Post an example of a cluttered track. Explain what's wrong sonically. Show how you cleaned up the arrangement, using tools like PANNING (it aint so boring when it's placed in context) and simple good ear-taste. You have them listening to your music for a reason and you are showcasing your skills. Way more credibility than a bunch of mediocre remixes.

5) Use graphics and screen captures. Use as many different tools as possible. Shows that you are well rounded and not some guy who ONLY knows FL or Reason or Logic or...or...You can now get endorsements/support from these companies and have them donate software and gear.
You actually get stuff for free/discount.

6) You can get sponsorship from other production-related companies. If you appear serious, other people take your seriously. Now you can get quotes and interviews in there. Adds to your credibility. If you approached anyone and showed them a high level project, they would help. Including Producer's Edge Magazine. I think their name might have more weight in the production world than Big Rome.Might be a good look to have you and this project featured in more established entities along with everywhere else.
PE has over 30 thousand dedicated production-interested readers. My youtube channel has over 7 million views. Unless of course, being stickied at the the top of a forum section is a bigger help to your cause.

7) Make an e-book and have the PDF exist ONLY as a snippet/demo. You can make whole chapters free. Do I need to explain the benefits of existing in different mediums and the popularity of e-books? Sell the PDF AFTER you make it worth selling.

8) Build a blog about this and encourage feedback (not criticism and requests for help, but reader praise) and make it a log. Shows evidence of popularity and allows readers to actively be engaged.

9) Change your attitude. Take advantage of the beginners energy instead of trying to hold it back. A new beatmaker is enthusiastic. Instead of always saying you don't know Jack, slow down, you say: harness that interest and learn as much as you can. Think about yourself and what you want to do and follow your heart. If a guy wants to make beats using software, let him buy Fruity Loops for $100 bucks and switch to Logic three years later. Who cares- it wasn't a waste. Let him buy Pro Tools (cause he read that everybody uses it) and let him buy an MPC 2 years later. So what? He uses hardware and software. All of that is better than saying for someone with a passion to wait they turn and sit down in the corner until you're done schooling them. If someone says "I want to make music/beats" I'd have them making their first beat that night. We can all learn on the fly. That energy keeps you young and fresh. Ask any teacher, the slowest student gets the most attention. People want to learn from someone who is as excited as they are. If your whole viewpoint is the cynical old-man who could been a contenda, it'll show.

10) Similar to above, it's all positive energy. Instead of saying DON'T, say DO.
Don't spend money = spend money wisely.
Don't make cluttered tracks = Do have a reason for placing every sound and element in a track.

As far as Griffin Avid is concerned...
In the end it's very easy to point out flaws or be critical. It's much harder to provide concrete fixes and improvements. I don't think anything I've suggested is outside of your reach or impossible. I don't even think there is a DOWNSIDE to anything I've suggested.

I have only two thoughts about you and this.
a) You may choose to use the excuse about not being so serious or this was meant to be just a "little old thing" I was gonna do on the side...and here goes preacher Avid going too far...or you have SOOOOOO much success elsewhere in your life, that you don't REALLY CARE about production ....yeah, okay.

b) You have the attitude of a burnt out old-man. Like the best days are behind you, thus your penchant for always derailing threads (truly entertaining, I do say) with personal side stories.
You annoy the hell out of me. When I see how much potential energy and time you're ALREADY wasting- instead of being a true leader. --makes me wanna holler.

This production thing is a lifelong quest/journey without an end. You can make everything you've done before (in your glorious past) relevant by doing stuff today that builds upon your history. You have accomplishements (as you're always reminding us) THAT should be part of this. Name names and even post some of the old stuff- after all that's you too.

The choice is really yours.
Take the Blue Pill and keep posting as a regular forum member and linking to foolish remixes.
Or take the Red Pill and do the hard thing of actually caring about the new people diving in and help them along by first helping yourself.

The choice is really yours.

I agree I could've said thanks for the feedback... but as I stated earlier, I wanted to show you how incorrect your feedback was by using an example. You might would've liked for me to let it hang out there like - they're right, that's what wrong with it but I felt a little satisfaction in showing you that a lot of people (based off of comments) think you don't know what the phugg you's talkin' bout.

I don't know if I would consider what you wrote as criticism... they sounded more like personal quirks to me. I've been around these forums long enough to know that some people only like to take shots at anything another person does out of fear that someone else may actually like what that person is doing and then their "look at me now" status is diminished. If you post something, expect a rebuttal if somebody disagrees. Don't think you typed something and are going to sit back and say "Um hmm, I tole that nucca..." and want to e-fight about it when your little disagreements get thrown under the bus. Go read that Hip Hop 101 thread again and tell everybody what's wrong with it. This lil newletter is the same thing (a continuation) in portable format.

There's nothing in what I wrote that you can knock... because that's what I experienced. Griffin asked about web forums for info, I say go to web forums rather than review sites because those people get paid or get free ish to do favorable reviews. I say get the full boat of whatever DAW you pick right off the bat because while you may not use everything available... there's a reason why it's in the upgraded version. Like in LIVE 8, you can't do things in a Simpler that you can do in Sampler... but I guess because I left those few words out and didn't explain myself... "Ohhhh, awwlll, what's wrong with the version that only let's you load 2 vsts and limits you to 8 tracks... they can learn on nat... awll hell this is bogus... psst!"

Just wrote up Issue TWO! the next steps in making beats.

Actual music making tips / tricks will be in version three on. Awl Sooky Sooky...



As I read on... they're talking about get DEMO versions... when I said to start out with the trials versions until you get the money for the FULL VERSION... I think I said don't BUY LITE or Crippled versions (keyword BUY - not DON'T USE)... I'm confused,... wait maybe I'm not the one confused...

I see you Griff, that's what you would do. The way I'm doing it is by not sending people anywhere else. Everything is coming from the person that took the journey. There will be videos, audio, links.... it's Issue ONE... the actual BEAT MAKING will come after I think people have what they need to make beats effectively - the hardware / software. The tricks, good vsts I've found, etc... will be in the future... there's no schedule on this either. Just a brain dump of what I've seen, felt, touched.

I did forget to put Twitter on there though, thanks for that.

www.twitter.com/biggrome - for anybody that wants to follow - I always follow back. I heard that you're supposed to tweet twice a day everyday and if you have nothing to say you're supposed to retweet. They said tweeting too much is bad though.

The cluttered track thing, that's a VERY HIGH LEVEL suggestion. I go overboard on my own stuff sometimes if things are clicking. I put that in there based off of current trends. Most music is stripped down... Look at me now / I'm One One / etc.

I really don't want to build a blog about this... I want it to fly around randomly... don't ask why but things travel farther that way. That's why it's a .pdf. Those blog sites become ghost towns. If people get one of these and want to read more.... they'll find the rest or find me and I'll send them the rest. This wasn't some "OH I'M GOING TO DO THIS!" thing... I just didn't feel like making a beat that day.

I'm not going to sell it, I'm attempting to help. Like volunteer work. It might all be horrible advice but it's what I know. Maybe every third issue will be a $1 or something. I never intended on trying to sell it. After I get going maybe I'll reconsider that, depends on how it turns out. If I do like how it comes out, I'll make it into an audiobook and just record myself reading it. We're all lazy now so hearing it is easier than reading it. That's probably going to be the plan. Audio book chapters... hell I can read the first one this weekend... and add everything I thought I left out. DAMN! Griffin is on FIRE. Let me finish that post. Speaking of FIRE... the FIRE 2 Field Recorder app is perfect for me to make a nice ghetto audiobook. Love that app.

Damn, Griff is throwin' bows about his Producers Edge mag versus my random 1am post from years ago. Well damn it you done lit a fire. This thang is going to be more than I expected. I have had the gauntlet thrown down at me, I can't punk out. I'm gonna crank up the intensity in Issue three and Be All I Can Be... let's see how long this flame lasts. I'm going to finish it though. The audio book is going to cost people up the ying yang though so don't think you can skimp out on reading it. Plus if you miss one you got to buy it... after it's a month old or something - I'll figure it all out. Maybe I'll rip out all of the text and make it pretty... who knows (that part doesn't excite me though). I kind of want it to look like - nuthin' special... that's the attraction. The info is supposed to be the draw... not the flowers at the top of the page.

You got one part totally backwards... the ENTIRE purpose of this thing is to keep somebody from buying Logic and 2 MPCs or getting FL and then switching to REASON...

You guys have an entirely different idea than what I was going for. Everything isn't about money. I have money.

As for the cynical old man thing, lol. You'd have to have read a few of those 29,000 posts to know that I'm really okay and actually wouldn't want to be in the music biz as my sole source of income right now. I'll still take placement checks, beat purchases, EBT cards, Food Stamps and anything else anyone wants to funnel my way but I have kids that need medical / dental / protection at home / Fatherly advice / and all o dat... this newsletter is for people that want to start making beats... they can be 35 or 15.

... and a lot of people couldn'tna been what I've become... you'd have to see the W-2 to know what I'm talkin' bout.

anybody that want's to avoid a few pitfall's, save some money, hear some common sense... keep looking out for SO YOU WANNA MAKE BEATS ?

Homie, your ego is outrageous. You need to humble yourself.

How can my feedback be "incorrect"??? Isn't it, by definition, my own opinion??? If you didn't want my opinion, you shouldn't have asked for it.

And its funny how hypocritical you can be. You're talking about other people posting stuff just to say "I told you so" when YOU were the one who felt the need to voraciously defend yourself against the opinions of others THAT YOU ASKED FOR. You just said yourself "I agree I could've said thanks for the feedback... but as I stated earlier, I wanted to show you how incorrect your feedback was." If that aint an I-TOLD-YOU-SO moment (especially in response, again, to opinions YOU ASKED FOR), I dunno what is.

"I've been around these forums long enough to know that some people only like to take shots at anything another person does out of fear that someone else may actually like what that person is doing and then their "look at me now" status is diminished"
- So basically this sentence translates to "ANYONE WHO EVER DISAGREES WITH ME ON ANYTHING PERIOD IS DOING IT PURELY OUT OF HATE BECAUSE I COULD NEVER ACTUALLY DO OR SAY ANYTHING WRONG."

You really need to check your ego man and that's just friendly advice. Again, I give credit where credit is due, and you have contributed a lot to this forum, but just because a few screen names on the internet dickride you, that doesn't make you somebody. You act like FP is the Earth. You said "They'll hear a guy who's advice has the NUMBER ONE STICKY in the tutorials section" as though that were something to be proud of. REALLY SON??? YOU GOT A STICKY THREAD ON A INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD???? Sign an autograph for me please?

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I was never here for the arguments either. This thing I'm attempting to do is actually meant to try to help. People are telling me what I should've said to them.... I should've said exactly what I said (shrug).

Anybody that wants to talk music or about the newletter, keep posting.

I will check out your music too DueceBeatz when I get home today.

^^^^ Some dude up there is posting in CAPS, lol...

@ World Wide - Oh, I'm proud of the sticky because it helped some people... you still don't get that. You never did. Like I said, fonts and bullets and cuss words weren't what I was asking about. I dismissed your critique because you looked at it from a college professors stance instead of a beginning producers stance. Now kick rocks and don't ever read any o my shat again.

Can I hit you up for content for my newsletter and maybe we can help some people in the Getting Started section.

Shoot me any advice you have and I can work it into what I'm doing. What about a "Gavin's Advice" section? Let me know.


Thanks for checking out the thread.

How much are you asking for the samples?

I'm putting this in there. Just because it's something I didn't think of as I was typing and it's damn good advice.
