One of the hardest things indeed, with any creative process, is editing. What to drop, what ot add, bring on front, move to back and so on. What really helps develop your editing skills is actually finishing even the less stellar tracks. By doing this you also avoid getting into the void of "waiting for that perfect track", where you pretty much never get finished anything at all. You also develop a strong routine for a lot of stuff involved with producing the track. Finishing tracks with a steady pace also prepares you for the moment you finally create the "most awesome track ever", the baby who doesn't disappoint you, as finishing tracks teaches you a broad spectrum of skills. Mixing, arranging, actual producing and how to end the track properly and so on. This said, it's also a good skill to learn when you really need to put the baby in the basket and ditch him/her on the door step of an orphanage and never look back. And like this video beautifully demonstrated, some rare times it's also best to adopt back the ditched baby. Great stuff once again.
Wow this video couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me. I really needed to hear this! I am going to go turn some of my dead babies into new Frankenstein monsters now.
have you been spying on me goodness! topics youve been putting out are so relevant to the journey im in as well. why not tap my wrist and say hi i want to give you a hug for all your help tho lol!
I watched this video years ago and really honed in on that first bit of advice .. I found myself getting too excited about a song and wanting to relisten to it and it became a constant habit after just one day of working and i fell into that cycle / haulting so much g r o w t h this video made me realize that mistake and correct it with set boundries and honestly ive never been more excited and invested in music. i cant stress enoough how much this video has impacted my actual life you are awesome and the people very much appreciate your entire approach. you also make a LOT of sense when explaining / breaking stuff down
Love your videos man, it's really hard to find valuable music prod tutorials containing REAL HUMOUR!!! Keep up! I wanna hear this finished project tho, it's litty.
Very nice man. I will recommend your channel to ppl in my class (audio tech course). There are mainly rap producers booking studios to browse presets through audient consoles. I think you might help them. Not being a beatmaker myself I also find it helpful. U got my sub indeed
It is common wisdom among composers and arrangers: kill your darlings. Doesn't matter how precious it is or how much time you spent on it; if it doesn't work, throw it out.
Great tips with hilarious dark humour. I suddenly feel like I’ve finally found someone I can make my friend at long last! I will totally be calling you repeatedly for your advice & experience with your awesome offer on song creation but more so just to soothe my lonely heartfelt pangs for a true soul to soul connection with someone who knows what it’s like to be a frustrated & sensitive artist. Watch that dial Underbelly bro-j. Tick to the tock
u just gonna hit me with glasses now? dafuq bro, looks slick as hell tho. and omg thanks for that encouragement in the beginning about letting go and dont listen to the loops you did, i did that for the longest time and didnt get anything done thanks man
Listening to Aphex Twin's new EP, then seeing this video, has given me some ideas about how a song can also be a mix of your greatest hits or your dead babies.
I've harvested stem cells too, making cool little Frankenbabies. But once in a while I get lucky with a shock of inspiration and resuscitate a dead baby into a zombie baby. Just look at how well that worked for Michael Jackson. Without his zombie baby we wouldn't have Thriller.
Yo Mr Undybell, top shit as per usual, is there any chance that you could go through some audio fx, I have sidechaining and shit down but want to get that professional sound on my tracks. They sound super stale and quite flat at the moment
will def do a couple of fx specific vids in the future, but not sure if adding more effects will fix the staleness. Could be a volume or arrangement issue.
Do you mean to tell me that for the low low price of [free introductory course] we can sift through dead babies together? It's like all of my wildest fantasies are coming true all at once
hello my angel, can you do a video about sampling and stuff ? like that i dont have to kill the baby by myself ,but grap the dead thing and put it into another format. btw love your videos you are hilarious.
"However, not all babies are worth rising..." I can't stop laughing at this.

LMAO I CANT-
There's no such thing as a perfect typo--
ok so

yes harvest their organs
do i sell their organs for profits to rich asians?
I'd simmer a stock in the slow cooker, freeze and save for later.
@@andyby I think that would be called a "sample pack." Great idea!
This is exactly what I needed right now. Definitely recommend a private lesson with this guy. Awesome to work with.
thanks amar, would love to work with you again sometime soon!
"ya dingus" can't believe how this is still relevant for me even after 2 years
The 'deceased' folder is a great idea. I will begin culling immediately. The nursery's about to get a whole lot smaller. Many thanks
kill those babies
This looks like it was shot in 2004 and I love it.
the glory days
i get butterflies when you call me a dingus 😍😍😍😍
mwuah
I needed this video..... well, not needed in the literal sense.... but this came at the perfect time.
MatthieuVlogs I always come perfect for you
Just got my first MIDI keyboard this morning, so this is perfect timing.
have you been spying on me goodness! topics youve been putting out are so relevant to the journey im in as well. why not tap my wrist and say hi i want to give you a hug for all your help tho lol!

Wow the advice in the beggining blew my mind. Don't get stuck in a beat, move on. Let the new one come in.
The dead baby chords are beautiful
thanks jemp

thanks for watching my man, full track coming soooon
Oh fuck. This is the most useful tutorial on producing Ive ever had. Thx a lot.
Guru Underbelly: lets listen to this beat idea real quick, lets see what we can d-
*plays banger*
Keep the content coming man! Big ups!
Goba Cr thanks bruddah
Oh my God, this is the first video I've seen of yours, but I already love every single bit of your channel.
TM88 did the same thing when he downloaded a kidney and gave it to xotourlife
I had to rush straight to my computing devices to check this out!
Good video, I have not been practicing in a while But I haven't given up, I'm still watching.
thanks
Mont
never give up mont. thanks for watching
chit chat with Underbelly?! Wowzers.
NXT tryna transition into my new career as cam girl
This is truly golden information, I say this as someone who has been at this for about 20 years.
my man was ahead of the curve on zoom
fr
the dejected "ok so check it" at 1:57 hit hard
Very nice man. I will recommend your channel to ppl in my class (audio tech course). There are mainly rap producers booking studios to browse presets through audient consoles. I think you might help them. Not being a beatmaker myself I also find it helpful.
U got my sub indeed
ayyy thanks for the showing my vids off m8
This man was years ahead on Zoom
"Not all babies are worth raising. Sometimes, it's just better to abandon them..." LMAO
Thats every beat ive made
yep
1:09 I realized that the other day. This is absolutely sooo true.
“Sometimes its better to just abandon them” 😂
Hahahaha this guy gives really good advice, but the way he tells it absolutely had me cracking up lol. Thanks man haha
hey thanks nathan
3:35 "Macklemore for Gay President" at the bottom lol
His "Bob Ross" like approach to music is what I needed
bob ross doesn't suck at producing
"thousands of deadbeat babies in my library" lollll feel you
time to harvest their organs
pretty sure you & nitti gritti are dopplegangers
Were you inspired by tsuruda and derg when you made that beat?
Jack Johnston yes, and especially this producer called sumthin sumthin
he's dope too
i love sex noises.
Life with PTSDee oh yes very good
you are the most hilarious yet effective tutor on beat making-wondering why I'm watching this in 2017......
so happy I did bruv
❤u bruv
this video was super helpful and just opened my mind. i had no idea dead babies could be so useful
thank you, this is what ive been waiting for
thx tzrr
thanks man really appreciate you man
please keep on being our mentro love you dude!! !!
mentor ****
Keep being our metro boomin
Dead baby sounds like something str8 outa silent hill
i wish a had some money. i would pay you not only for your lessons, but for your comedy man, you are killing it :D.
thanks moises, we'll get you rich soon
Where is the free weegledigle donger dunger option? I expected more.
Forest Music we can discuss donger options during our orientation
this video helped me thank you dad
no problem son
Goat Simulator vibes on this beat ♥️
Great advice about not stopping until you start something to work when you re-visit the project, apparently Ernest Hemmingway did with his writing.
Hey quick question I appreciate how you have really outreached to new producers with humour and wisdom, so how did you gain the skills you have Now?
uncle joe taught me
Good tip. Give yo self a starting point, or do like I do and just don't sleep until that shit is done.
You are awesome.
Not all babies are worth raising, sometimes it's just better to abandoned them, LOL! You kill it man😂
It's amazing how you record this stuff without any cuts, i mean, how many takes do you do ?
Noticing your kid is drawing paintings of the Apocalypse, you must be very proud!!!!
"Sometimes its just better to abandon them"
It is common wisdom among composers and arrangers: kill your darlings. Doesn't matter how precious it is or how much time you spent on it; if it doesn't work, throw it out.
Great advice. Going going going and go back structure and arrange
Zoom? Never heard of it
I was barely able to finish watching this video
Holy shit proof that Zoom existed before 2020!
damn this man was using zoom years before it was cool
FAX

Did you ever finish and release this? I really like it!
the 'sex noise' btw, is so dope!!!
thanks, i do sex good
1:17 that tip is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so f*n important.
Wow...... need that project for remix
Will now forever be saying, Thank you, Deadbaby.
lmao the disappointed "ok so... *_sigh_* check it"
Alabama: "finish those beats! Every shitty one!"
u just gonna hit me with glasses now? dafuq bro, looks slick as hell tho. and omg thanks for that encouragement in the beginning about letting go and dont listen to the loops you did, i did that for the longest time and didnt get anything done thanks man
Bahahha I recognize you!! I was searching for a video to help with my unfinished song problem and found this lol. Let's work on a song together :)
Zoom early adopter.
The rest of us waited til covid to kick things off.
The song used as an example is so much like Cbat lmao
I always drop my baby
Jose Arguello very good Jose
this series is not very information-dense but it's ok because the delivery is so reassuring.
Haha I needed this after a frustrating but progressive day of beat making
holy LORD underbelly. all your videos are facts but the " you gotta move on ya dingus" just hit me right in my soul. wowzers.
Holy shit, these tips are hitting me hard.
damn right
Basically add a high contrast bridge section to your song.
I'm bouta sample "ok, so check it."
Listening to Aphex Twin's new EP, then seeing this video, has given me some ideas about how a song can also be a mix of your greatest hits or your dead babies.
Set the babies free into the world for everyone to judge.
wowzers
Never actually tried that last tech, Underbelly. Thanks for the info. Here's to hoping one day I will suck a little less at producing.
Lol I need to make a graveyard folder. But do you really need to have a poop folder?
I try not to shit where I eat
I've harvested stem cells too, making cool little Frankenbabies. But once in a while I get lucky with a shock of inspiration and resuscitate a dead baby into a zombie baby. Just look at how well that worked for Michael Jackson. Without his zombie baby we wouldn't have Thriller.
The funny thing is the jokes are so 2008 but this was made in 2016/2017
That first beat is dope...
Yo Mr Undybell, top shit as per usual, is there any chance that you could go through some audio fx, I have sidechaining and shit down but want to get that professional sound on my tracks. They sound super stale and quite flat at the moment

this dude has me cracking up every time!!! good work dude.
thanks robin
i immediately noticed the muted track called "stem cells". foreshadowing
Hey underbelly can u please add "silk" to Spotify or someshit thanks
I love you dude...I love how you weave comedy into some serious shit. Do you still give lessons?
Do you mean to tell me that for the low low price of [free introductory course] we can sift through dead babies together? It's like all of my wildest fantasies are coming true all at once
yes!
I didnt know that dead babies are so useful. Thank you, underbelly
I am beat pro choice......it’s my body
hello my angel, can you do a video about sampling and stuff ? like that i dont have to kill the baby by myself ,but grap the dead thing and put it into another format. btw love your videos you are hilarious.
hey baby, my very first vid was actually on sampling. ua-cam.com/video/H07OJpKqSV0/v-deo.html
"Parenting sucks- and so do children"
Nice, that track reminded me of Iglooghost a bit. Where can I listen to it?
Great video, good information for beginning music makers.
Nice tips and great beats
