Erm ..........ok

@maquaw Hey man, I just recently started creating music. I have a long way to go before I can make the complex beats I hear in my head which can be discouraging at times. I wanted to know how long it takes you to complete an entire song and how long it takes you to fix the offset beat

[saarim101]

proper entertaining stuff lovin the vids mate!

[chelle315]

That freestyle was priceless....

[DollaTwo]

You need fatter kicks, louder snares, and more bass.

[majora158]

@DollaTwo dudes using live lite so what you can do is very very limted reltive to live 8 or suite.

[Snuffehh]

As for your 'fullness' thought,

Production.... compressors, reverb, delays, and filter. and whatever else sits right, it takes a while, just take your time getting to grips with how what you change affects the sound. Keep going man, you got a lot of potential :)

[loveisnotforme]

thats the same problem with me! i can not complete the whole song btw the slow motion part was the best :)

[majora158]

the organ reminds me of banjo kazzoie's music

[akibar325]

Im sorry bro but with the equipment you have you should be able to make a better beat then that .....that is the dumbest beat I ever heard lol

[djthr33mm]

fantastic!

[davidxxxesp1]

you need to work on eq and filling the frequency range in your tunes

[davidxxxesp1]

the chords dude

[rocbarnes]

traumadrums is the man with a plan. Check him out 7 elements to making a hip hop beat.

[zmyboo]

Your missing chords sir

[MrNEUTRALBASS]

like for the WASSSSSUP



[MrMrDJ3]

Very Good! Haha Nice BPM Change!

[TheSmallBeginnings]

Hahahaha!! Very funny my friend...Love the comedy.

[TheSmallBeginnings]

Hahahaha!! Very funny my friend

[Gjini3]

Yeah man!



[saber5401]

Ableton has some nice compressor settings and eq's and limiting is a plus.

[saber5401]

Answer to your question, that full or fat sound you are looking for happens with proper engineering and Mastering.

[akibar325]

hahahahahHAHhahhahahHAHAH

[jankeeyankee]

goto audio effect rack goto mastering and they have some nice mastering racks with compression and eq and a limiter it will beef up your hole track i use it in every track to master them works good

[EvanisHuman]

Can you sing chocolate rain next time? :D

[RyanRoseOfficial]

Also, a strong bassline is important. When I was just starting I didn't even know you needed one, but somethin was really missing. Using a simple baseline works magic to thicken the track up.. it sits even MORE under the grand piano or horns or whatever, because it's such a low frequency sound. The last thing is how you edit these instruments, and pan them to the left or right. Definitely check on youtube for EQ tutorials.

[RyanRoseOfficial]

You'll see what I'm talking about if you use one of those traditional instruments and put it underneath using chords. Like say you have the beat in your head, well try to use simple chords w/ one of those traditional instruments that will sit "underneath" the main synth and the rest of the instruments if that makes sense. A lot of hip hop music for example has a strong history of sampling, which just took and sped up older songs which used these traditional instruments like pianos, horns, etc..

[RyanRoseOfficial]

To get that fuller sound... I know exactly what you're talking about. You want to thicken your sounds up and make them sound heavier and more bloated.

Theres a couple things that do this. The first thing I can think of is using a "thick" sounding instrument underneath it all. Usually people use a grand piano, violins, horns, traditional instruments like that. It would like the bottom layer instrument that the average listener wouldn't really notice when he/she is listening everyday.

[biggang008]

man you actually can rap :D

[biggang008]

nice beat !! you getting better and better !!

[WaterRabbit]

People over look the fact that a lot of great music first started with an idea (like yours on phone) or a guitar riff, any little thing to build on. I watched your video because you use Ableton Live 8 and M-Audio Axiom 25. When I bought a Line 6 Studio GX guitar USB interface it came with Live Lite. Even though it has a pretty steep learning curve, I love it and plan to get the full version sometime but now I need that sweet Axiom 25 you got there! I like your video & will subscribe, Take Care.

[RufisMusic]

yeah you are right its pretty cool, but it needs some strings, maybe guitar as you said, and definitely harder kick and snare... nice vid :)
