My favorite west coast beat is either Warren G - Gangsta Love or Kurupt - We Can Freak It What's yours?

@red0ctane19 3 жыл бұрын

I gotta go with a Warren G song as well but of course featuring my man Nate Dogg, RIP. Regulate is still in my regular rotation.

This sounds good man, you got the vibe right! I’m a Texan and we grew up jamming that west coast rap. You should do a tutorial on Southern rap beats. We call them Country Rap Tunes. I ain’t talking about trap beats either. I mean the real southern sound by producers like Pimp C, N.O. Joe, Mike Dean, John Bido, Organized Noize, T-Mix, Mannie Fresh, Beats By The Pound.

As opposed to other producers who spend the first 7 minutes of their video showing off how great their song is. Navie will show us how to make the song in the intro, rather than just show it off. This rather humble approach is what initially attracted me to his videos and it sets him apart IMO.

You also should have said that you have to throw notes off the grid (mostly a Bit to late) and let them land on weak beats! I think this plays a big role and adds a lot to the groove and you did it too :P

What you're describing I think is not just landing late but syncopation (specifically landing on weak beat often like you said). I'm not super well versed in it but I think that's what it is. And I was also thinking the same thIng- that syncopation is like a big staple of funk, and descendants like G funk- so definitely would've been worth it to cover that.

I see a pretty radical approach in mixing that can look easy but it’s really not and if not done properly can damage sounds instead of compliment them. Of course the way you do it sounds great. But me been a beginner I prefer be a bit more cautious with filters and maybe lightly multiband sidechain between sounds and a bit of pan but yeah my result Is more boomy and and details are less clear. Ok next time I try your approach

"Swing" IS key with the drums, esp the Hats and or layered snares Westcoast and Eastcoast 90s Beats. Easiest way I do this in FL: click on Instrument tab (hiHat/snare/clap etc) then click wrench tab, underneath 'time' you'll see "swing" knob, I usually adjust between 3-5 for taste but it all comes down to individuals preference 😁✌🏽
