    I use Serum, I been making 808s and bass on it for a while, its just that next step of making super saucy 808s that I need to get to. I lowkey have a lot of knowledge, but I dont apply it as efficiently as I should/could and kinda take it from there and learn, its a kind of fear of failure I guess... but im gonna make it a point to experiment with 808s tomorrow. Gonna mess with distortion, transient, chorus, EQ, compression, aaaall of it if you got any tips let me know fam🙏

    I use FL, how about you?

    yeah most of my 808's just come from f***ing around on serum, its definitely fun sometimes to mess around with how many voices there are and the different effects on serum. a big thing i use is automation so maybe try experimenting with that on different parameters. i use ableton live 11

    What do you use automation on? Good tip with the voices... but isnt the bass supposed to be mono? I hear that a lot, but then sometimes I hear wide bass that sound dope af not sure

    I don’t keep my bass in mono lol but ableton had this utility option called “bass mono” so any frequencies below a certain number will be played in mono, so for like phone speakers

    some of my favorite sample beats. Mixing prolly s*** was never good at that. Type of beats I prolly wouldn’t be able to make from scratch again. This was when I was just twisting knobs till s*** sounded ok.. and also a lot of cocaine.

    I actually really love how I flipped this lianne sample
    my favorite part is the outro when the hard digital beat I just made perfectly transitions back into the original sample in acoustic

    Learning how to use effects properly and knowing the rules helps w making music but I really feel like my beats were way more creative esp w ideas before I started learning all the rules and music theory s***

    Well dont look at them as "rules", look at them as building blocks, or a platform to work from and be creative with... a tool
