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.
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!
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).
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
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
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!
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
The point I was making is that distorting a sin wave, and moving it away from a perfect sin shape, has an effect on how much low end it generates. And that people should be aware of this.
@@NavieD Video was good overall bro, I have just been making a lot of house music recently and I have been noticing the difference in the way 808s are used. In trap sub bass is the main goal with 808s, where as trap music is more driven by moog style sub bass. Learned a lot from you over the years and I have massive respect for you, apologies if it came across snarky
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
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.
Very informative as always, fav beatmaking tutorials on UA-cam ! ♥️ 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 ♥️
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.
Navie, I would recommend someone on here rent an actually TR808 and sample the sounds You’ll notice the 808 is out of tune A cool trick is to use melodyne to fine tune them by key and use them that way

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

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.
It's not video editing. I really did ride an 808
@@NavieD that must have been great, where can i get a ticket?
But we know navie won't ever ruin our beats
Unless you mess with me
@@NavieD 👍👍

"With some real nice curves in there 😏" cracked me up.
Your video editing skills are on point!! Pulling 808s apart and flipping switches off and on! Nice tutorial!!!

This is one for sure😎
Appreciate you Navie! Have a great day bro!
You too JD!
That undistortion trick is super helpful! Thanks for sharing all these gems!
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!
so just put Spaz on everything! got it!
😨
I mean... the info is great.... but that editing though🤯
Thank you Davieboy
Navie D's gotta nice low end ;)

High end in a bass sound is not a bad thing it’s all bout mixing the sound well with the other sounds

Truuuuuuuu
Editing slaps
🙏🙏
This is a pure gem !!!! Ty
Great bro !
Thank you Jah
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. 😙👌
navie your face is so clear in this video
love seeing your content evolve u were much different when i first started watching your vids
Haha, "foibles"
Great video again Navi ❣

I laughed every time you rode that 808 😂
Would not recommend. Am now nauseous

Such a good video
Thank u!
congrats for the ballon d'or Navie
Great video as usual!
Thank you Adler
great video man!
Wow! Great information and you are soo funny too!!!!!! Amazing!
Damn the editing just keeps getting better! 🎉
putting a wave form in the envelope window is pretty genuis to be fair. Navie D, please contact FL Studio big wigs. Cheers.
i needed this video today. thanks, navie! so good, man... 😎🙏🔥
Thank You for Your work ;-) You're one of the best teachers. Great content!
thnx fo info man ❤🔥
Good to know 💯
Thank you for watching!
Choosing the right 808 at the first place can save you a great amount of frustration.
This is true
What tips do you guys use for finding good 808 samples that match your beat?
@@graverobshawty just go by ear, always trust your instincts. If it sounds good then it’s good.
salute brother
Good stuff here. On point for sure.
Thank you Navie D. Bro!
Merci beaucoup
Trash 2 is the ish!!
Yes! No more doo doo ka ka beats!!!
Those are the worst kind
Still the G.O.A.T.!!!
Editing is cray ngl
🔥🔥🔥
🚒🚒🚒
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...
Thank you, great content 👍
4:16😂
I still don't understand why raunchyness was left out betterbeatmaker.
Mid side distortion is the way
Great video
The best-used green screen on the planet 😂
I've been master bassing all my life....
Crucial talk
Navie,
I would recommend someone on here rent an actually TR808 and sample the sounds
You’ll notice the 808 is out of tune
A cool trick is to use melodyne to fine tune them by key and use them that way
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?
I love master bassing
🤣🤣🤣
Someone hired an editor
How did you know
Congratulations on your Balon d'or Karem Benzema
i got ur 808s navie
Thief!
@9:13 am I the only one that thought pattern 2 was doper?
4:32 how do you make it so the low frequency and high frequency go to their respective sends?
Idek how to add distortion in the first place so I'm all good 👍🏽
You're ahead of the curve
these edits are killing me xD
Man said master-baser. I see what you did there 😉😂
bro that beat with the 808 at the starting was fire as fuck. can you link me to it??
