I always distort the 808s in parallel, send the original and blend the distorted to a bus channel where I EQ it. A 60Hz boost and 200-300 Hz cut with a low cut at 25Hz. This pretty much makes for a solid 808. It’s much easier though if you start out with a good 808 sample that properly balanced.

One of your best vids so far in terms of editing. Very informative and entertaining at the same time ! Thanks

That frequency splitter is a game changer. Looking forward to utilizing this in my workflow with 808 distortion, and playing around with melodies. Excellent tutorial as always. Keep up the good work!

Video editing is through the roof. Thanks A.I. Navie for sliding in as a holo and explaining the functionality of a healthy low end.

But we know navie won't ever ruin our beats

best video quality i ve ever seen on any tutorial video. keep it up!

Your videos are always getting better man thank you for all the info you share with us

You and Kenny Beats are teaching us so much. On your way to being a legend in the producer community

Thank you for these gems. Also i love your new style of making videos

Your content was always phenomenal but the editing etc really sets you apart even more🙌🏼 great video bro, giving away all the tips for free

Really appreciate the editing/meme efforts on this one ! Made it really entertaining and informative at the same time. Keep up the good work of explaining in detail, it helps making people smarter (I hope).

This video has everything thanks Nav 👏🔥

dope tutorial bro !!!

I'm hella addicted your videos Navie. They're definitely my favorite music production tutorial vids on KZfaq

Your video editing skills are on point!! Pulling 808s apart and flipping switches off and on! Nice tutorial!!!

Thank you so much for your vids! 🤟

Great video... Thank You!

Such a good video Thank u!

This is a pure gem !!!! Ty

great video man!

i needed this video today. thanks, navie! so good, man... 😎🙏🔥

My man this production is next level! 🔥

This was an inspiration! I spent the afternoon setting up a freq splitter and playing with different distortions and other effects separately on higher frequencies vs lower freq. Much fun!

Good stuff here. On point for sure.

Very informative as always, fav beatmaking tutorials on KZfaq ! ♥️ I have watched all your videos, many of them several times, and i was wondering if you could do a sdetailed video about mixing Boom Bap Beats, newschoold or oldschool! I feel like a specific video on this topic (eqing the sample, the drums, etc) would be extremely useful! Keep it up ♥️

That undistortion trick is super helpful! Thanks for sharing all these gems!

thnx fo info man ❤‍🔥

I have been watching this channel for like a year or two and i will say navie d is one of the best youtube producer out there with great teaching techniques and super useful videos

A lot of your Tutorials are Game Changers!! This is one for sure😎

love seeing your content evolve u were much different when i first started watching your vids

Thank you, great content 👍

Thank You for Your work ;-) You're one of the best teachers. Great content!

I got with the second one drum pattern, coz i love the snares that hit different

Bro the editing is next level

Your editing is getting way better 💯🔥

Thank you Navie D. Bro!

Appreciate you Navie! Have a great day bro!

I been following you for a while, your videos have been more entertaining and better as you progress. Nice work

Great video as usual!

Damn the editing just keeps getting better! 🎉

quick tip: if you do sounddesign you can do multiple layer for your sub and basses. i always use at least a highend, midrange, bass and sub. you can now distort any layer as much as you want without huting the other frequencies BUT BE AWARE there might be some polarity problems if you don't take care well of your mix and sounddesign

Wow! Great information and you are soo funny too!!!!!! Amazing!

Great bro !

You can manipulate each frequency band individually in maximus as well but in some cases it's definitely more beneficial to do it in parallel or manually as you demonstrated

salute brother

The quality of your latest videos are insane! Thanks you for your lessons, my guy! 🥂

12:26 amazing pun to add the final punch to this great video

i was really having problems with the 808s thanks man

Great video

love decapitator so much

I use Camel Crusher, mainly the British Clean preset, my 808s always slap🔥. The 808 punches without the high end distortion sound, and the compressor if you turn it up will bring the high end distortion out.

Good to know 💯

Sublab is perfect for this!!

I think its very nice, seeing that benzema is winning ballon dor and now explaining everything about 808s♥️

Congrats on winning the 2022 Ballon d’Or award 😂

Can’t wait to get home an go master basser 💎💎

New producer, just discovered you…I wanna go straight to the “nerd” producers 🤓🥂🧡

Navie D's gotta nice low end ;)

Merci beaucoup

Haha, "foibles" Great video again Navi ❣

navie your face is so clear in this video

Editing slaps

I mean... the info is great.... but that editing though🤯

Editing is cray ngl

Navie, first of his name, protector of the curves and rider of the waves 😹

IMO Sosig always sounds best at about 3-8% as a slightly gritty gain boost... making the sosig too angry tends to muck things up a bit. Good looking out Navie.

congrats for the ballon d'or Navie

Still the G.O.A.T.!!!

🔥🔥🔥

so just put Spaz on everything! got it!

Wow 👏👏👏

Someone tell FL we need visual waveforms in the X and Y mods! Volume and pitch also. So much more they could do in upgrades to be intuitive...

Crucial talk

if you bring in a seperate kick and stick to one pitch wouldnt that introduce some phase issues or conflicting pitches? if not what do you tune the kick to?

Love you navie have to point out a few errors. Distortion on 808s is what makes good 808s, an 808 itself is a distorted sine wave. I think this video only applies to a very select few sub genres of trap beats so for musicians looking at all genres this is bad advice. Distortion makes everything better if you learn how to use it. Never avoid anything in beat making, even mistiming something can make a song better

4:32 how do you make it so the low frequency and high frequency go to their respective sends?

I laughed every time you rode that 808 😂

what about a hi pass filter on the parrallel 808 if you dont have a frequency splitter and a lo pass filter on the original?

Congratz with the ballon d'or mate

If you dont have a frequency splitter just double the track. Roll the highs off the one, add distortion to the other and season to taste. 😙👌

When where and how to use the Reese bass?

putting a wave form in the envelope window is pretty genuis to be fair. Navie D, please contact FL Studio big wigs. Cheers.

woaaaaaaah!

can we get that "whoa" in a kit?

4:16😂 I still don't understand why raunchyness was left out betterbeatmaker.

Trash 2 is the ish!!

The best-used green screen on the planet 😂

Mid side distortion is the way

PLS HELP: Are there settings that can be adjusted so that an 808 sample changes pitch according to where it is placed on the piano roll, without the length of the sample changing? In other words, so that my 808s on higher notes ring out as long as the ones that are on lower ones. (Without using the stretch Mode, the 808 sounds in stretch Mode like 🤮) When i listen to Tracks from lil baby or someone else, the 808 always has the same length, even if its played at first at c5 and then on a5

bro that beat with the 808 at the starting was fire as fuck. can you link me to it??

these edits are killing me xD

I love master bassing

What if I want my 808 to be felt in the 400hz(300hz maybe) to 6000hz range? I was watching some mixing tutorials and the speaker said most audio devices output that range most significantly, not all speakers and headphones of course, but I have been trying to keep that in mind. I still have more tutorials to watch from him but recently I have been trying to make my 808s higher frequency. Any advice?

My benzema🤣⭐

Foreverolling!!!

I definitely preferred beat 2 lmao
