Nice work. With the recent death of Whitney Houston, an open beat, like this, inspires many lyrics. The primary theme that was coming from everyone was "Unbelievable."
The funny part is a person like Celine Dion or Mary J could take this track, write lyrics and move a million copies before any of the 26 disliking haters could even begin to do what williamriveramusic has done here. A hit has nothing to do with complexity. It's about the emotion a song invokes. Keep it up brotha William and you might mess around and get yourself a Grammy or two.
good man yourself. As a newbie to recording i get frustrated at the continuous amount of videos that claim to be "making a beat when it involves mix, mastering etc etc. I enjoyed the video despite the foolish remark by thar.... whatever
Ok I'm a singer,songwriter,music producer...& I must say you have talent! Forget the haters their just jealous... any way add some lyric and post it...I'd like to hear what it sounds like with lyrics... Nice! Play your own instruments, not many people can do that so keep it up!
Nice! Any real producer will let u know that it may seem simple but to get it on point and mix in the right instrument for the rhythm with the variety of instruments out there is a bit more complicated! Literally got to play it by ear no matter what software you have! Anyways good stuff man and ignore negative feedback!
I swear, hopefully one day, mother nature will create an "ASSHOLE" virus that destroys the jealous, egotistical SCUMBAGS off of this planet. You made a solid track Will, sounded good. Nice equipment.
ooh my god!!! this is the hardest thing I've ever saw in my life!! how did you do it??? and the video should not be named "Making a Beat in Pro Tools". It should be named "Making a Beat ( with the 3 most common chords on earth which everyone can play including my grandmother and the most classic, easy made sounds and beats in the world)". what exactly did you show us about Pro Tools???
@Tharladyn7 HAHA this one actually made laugh. My good Sir. I'm not claiming that this track is the best of anything. I am just having some fun with musical instruments. This is also not a Tutorial. =: ^ 0
Wow, too many assholes to count commenting on this video. I found your video very inspiring, William. Keep up the great work. You obviously love what you do. All the best. -Matt
@TheMrPrimal I am totally a fan of real drums. but in all fairness, this tutorial is about creating an R&B beat in Pro Tools. I do remember the days when R&B meant Rhythm and Blues. Now the term is transplanted into todays Urban Pop. Still, I find it good practice to make a quantized MIDI beat first and play live instruments tightly to that solid rhythm, then track real drums last, replacing the MIDI drums.This makes things very tight yet natural.Scratch tracks are often too sloppy to work with.
@LilPaez Dont forget to select (8 bars in this case) in the timeline and select "Loop Record". (I think its in the transport windo but I forget because I am used to the C24)
@retstamuv There is an option in Pro Tools called midi merge. It will allow you to record on top of your previous pass. Its located in the transport window.
@retstamuv See my reply to LilPaez above which I accidentally addressed to the wrong person. I just wanted to add, in addition to selecting the Midi Merge option, also select 8 bars in the timeline then select Loop Record. Have fun.
@insanebeatss There are no rules on what kind of chords will make an specific genre. It's more of a combinations of different elements like the sounds you use, measure, tempo, scales and more. Sorry if this confuses you a little more but I think that's the way to look at it.
This is pure talent. You definitely have been blessed with a gift. Please don't let peoples ignorance discourage you. @ andrrioox, before you have the right to say anything else, do your research on the man you're trying to needlessly cut, and please activate spell check on your computer. You obviously paid very little attention in your education as well.
I love this track, it's soulful like the ones I make. I asked myself at first, was it wise to put your drums all on the same track, but they all sounded leveled in the final playback. How did you do that? I just started using pro tools 8.... I know nothing about it yet.
wow andrioox you spent all that time leavin that insulting ass message trying to imply you know wusup with music, and then got strait hushed and put in check lol bet you feel dumb...from someone who produces as well, simplictiy is often all it takes for a track to be hot...and this track is fire! and i produce hip hop type beats so if anyone should have something bad to say about it, it would be me...by the way, its "weak" not "week"(beginners level spelling mistake!) dont be a sad little hater
And I love that you play real instruments. I'm a musician (bass guitarist) who had to learn digital automation of music. I've always felt real feeling should be played through an instrument.. Keep up the great work!!
Nice work :) Pro Tools noob question: How do you set PT to continue playing what you just recorded and record the other instruments on different tracks? I ask this because you layered your snare on top of the hi-hat pattern but didn't touch anything to create a new track for the snare. Any help is welcome! Thanks :)
@Batecas The drums where all in one track. You have to enable loop play and midi merge so that don't erase notes. By pressing record you will obviously record your performance, but if you press record again the playback will continue and you can practice your next move. Once I am done recording, I split the drums to individual tracks in order to have complete control when mixing.
by the way, with what connection did you connect your keyboard to your computer? becuz i have the ESI KeyControl 49XT and it works with usb. whenever i record a track on it, it doesn't immediatly record, so it has a little bit of delay.. any ideas? my PC is still quite new(half-a-year old) thanks already
@A3BeatsProductions This is a USB keyboard. I for some reason you hear delay, go to PLAYBACK ENGINE in the SETUP menu and change the BUFFER size to a lower number like 256. Later when you are finished tracking and you are ready to mix change it again to the highest number like 1024. AHHH by the way I am assuming you have Pro Tools. Right? ; )
@williamriveramusic Nope, i have got FL Studio, but what you just said is possible with a driver called Asio4ALL, so thats not a problem. i appreciate your help!
@andrioox if you ever produced a track you'll know how the most important skill is quality...NOT quantity!! the man has used both digitial/analogue instruments & real instruments!
i dont know why you would make such an arrogant remark.....anyone can make a beat, but unless you know what goes into a track pre-mastered, you'll never understand a damn thing about producing a track and allow others to work day & night for many months just so you can take your ipod song collection for granted!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sori, but it is very boring and nothing special in composition. Bass part is week and very simple (beginers level) beat is also primitive. You do not need much talent for playing a few chords on a midipiano, playing some notes with bass guitar and etc, and playbackin the loop again and again. I see you spent a lot of money buying all instruments and other stuff...for your skills its useless...:)
@andrioox I think you need to do a little more research on someone before you call their skills useless. I have produced from simple techno loops to full rock albums.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP...u kno how on fl studio they hav the kicks going from high to low on ur keyboard...how do u get that to happen in protools...i dont want to just use 1 pitch of a kick
@SyedShah01 Nice comment, but just to clarify the term; What he did here was compose not produce. Composing is the first stage of a production. A producer would then come in and change everything:)
Could you plz give me some tips? i am buying the CME M-Key for Midi, im just beginning with using a keyboard for beats. and also i want to buy a drum computer. just a basic one, not too expensive but something that just does what you want it to do and without too much extra's
@appiah4 The tracks were free for download for a few months. I am working on a different project now that will also be available as a free download. There is no release date yet.
@appiah4 Any software will work good, Pro tools is just that..software and out side a a few different things they all pretty much do the same thing...Pro tools dont have a SOUND like some people think it does, it will Null with any other DAW! Get yourself a good Midi controller and you should be good, this shit is easy!!
This is so awesome dude!!! You have a really nice set up!!! and the final beat came out pro!!! does the keyboard sounds your getting all in pro tools? or are you using other software also? cause i use pro tools 7 and reason 4 right now but im getting pro tools 8 m powered friday :)
you dont play bass often do you?, you get a better sound playing finger style :P it doesnt give a as full sound using your thumb as your fingers :P (im a bassist and artist lol its a force of habit when i see people doing it). other then that sweet beat man :)
@nvs030292 It's called drums, bass, synth, and lead. Learn how to make a track like him, then re-visit his channel when you learn how R&B beats, or beats in general are usually composed. Also he has to create a chorus which is when the rest of the instruments come in. You can't really speak to someone who is better at something than you when you know nothing about what they're doing.
Smooth Beat! Very nice...looking at getting a protools set up myself...im about done with Cubase lol oh Be sure to stop by the page when u get a chance...
@williamriveramusic Hey man could you possibly tell me the dimensions of the sliders please. Like the size from top to bottom and side to side, i would really appreciate it, Thanks subbed
I just posted in my website a song that I mixed for a client a week ago. The Track is R&B and I think it has a lot of potential. The song is called I'm giving you everything and It is under "Latest Projects" in the home page.
safe man i browsed your website and I could not find the beat, its an amazing beat and i would like to do some vocals on it? well please let me know whats up yh. thanks
@williamriveramusic can I get this sent to me as well??, great beat, u got mean skills... How much did the mixer looking things in front of the screens cost?

@appiah4 Any software will work good, Pro tools is just that..software and out side a a few different things they all pretty much do the same thing...Pro tools dont have a SOUND like some people think it does, it will Null with any other DAW! Get yourself a good Midi controller and you should be good, this shit is easy!!

@nvs030292 Lol on a good beat you need alot of instruments. well kinda depends what music. RnB uses alot of instruments to make the sounds they have.

@nvs030292 It's called drums, bass, synth, and lead. Learn how to make a track like him, then re-visit his channel when you learn how R&B beats, or beats in general are usually composed. Also he has to create a chorus which is when the rest of the instruments come in. You can't really speak to someone who is better at something than you when you know nothing about what they're doing.

I just posted in my website a song that I mixed for a client a week ago. The Track is R&B and I think it has a lot of potential. The song is called I'm giving you everything and It is under "Latest Projects" in the home page.
