@@kazi4793 stop bitching
If you on FL You can actually make a 808 unique and reverse it and you can also get that sound

Ok, so with the reversed 808 it is just a crescendo in 64th notes. They act like it’s a secret.
Darxy or....... you can just reverse the sound lmao
Synsyre Newell it wouldn’t hit on time that’s why you got to crescendo it
Synsyre Newell it wouldn’t hit in time 😂 and you can clearly see that’s what they did
Darxy I meant in general lol and also you can move it a little bit
it is
Got to admit this is one of those beats that only come along once In a while
Yes it’s basic but it’s the clarity of that drop and the sound engineering that really sets it off
It's one in a million, everything is perfect, the sound selection the patterns, everything

How to make reverse 808's.
Step 1: Place an 808.
Step 2: Turn the velocity all the way down.
Step 3: Put a slide above the original 808 (Make sure the velocity on the slide is turned up!!)
Step 4: Vibe.
Goat.
thanks my guy🔥🔥🙌🏽

The “reverse” 808 is just the same 808 but rolled like hi hats. Sounds like each one gradually gets a little louder too. Free sauce.

“Here on the right we have 30 Roc and Dat Boi Squeeze, founders of the 808”
To all my producer fellas out there, theyr'e right, the reverse 808 shown at around 5:00 is incredibly simple. Since they didn't show how to do it for some dumb petty reason here's a step by step:
1. In your piano roll place a slide note of your desired length right before the actual 808 note that it's
reversing to (make sure its the same pitch)
2. Place a note anywhere on your piano roll (preferably right under the slide note, just make sure they are the
same length) and turn that notes velocity down all the way. Basically what this is doing is sliding from low
velocity to high velocity.
3. Lastly, drag the note with 0 velocity right onto the slide note so that they're on the same pitch and position
in the piano roll. Now all that's happening is that its sliding the velocity and not the pitch, which we
perceive as a reverse
Producers should help other producers ya know?

Why do producers get weird about showing their 808 patterns? Genuinely just want to know, producer for XO tour lif3 showed so what's the deal with it
They want to preserve the 1% authenticity they have left.
If they show it everybody gonna use it or make something exactly line this it wont be unique anymore
Cause they know this is probably going to be their biggest song ever.
cause its there "thing" its what they bring to the table. thats why people buy beats of THEM cause nobody else can do it but if they leak it everyone gonna do it and now they are just another producer
Beat Bodega your hating ass is mad that you won’t produce a number 1 hit like them.
The "reverse 808" is done by chopping it to the max and altering the velocity
fire episode, the thickness/density of those 808s are crazy ..it's the little things

5:06 you can see the reverse 808 is made by adding small individual 808s and then making the velocity rise with every new one, they probably cut off the attack from the 808 aswell.
