This is definitely my biggest knowledge bomb in video format I've ever made! I know some of them are more tips than hacks, but finding 69 pure "hacks" was hard lol. Thanks for watching! :)
Make more👻
That was beautiful man... Appreciable..
The numbers are interesting...
This guy always read and loves our comments. Thanks men for the great knowledge
do u edit your videos because its beautiful
"Do whatever sounds the best" A lot of producers can't seem to grasp the concept of that for some reason. DO WHAT YOU THINK SOUNDS BEST PEOPLE. At the end of the day that's what matters. Great video man keep it up! ❤
Where I live, at the end of the day it's evening
dunno you doe
This mentality is toxic for beginners and noobies. The guy from underdog electronic music school made a video about it, I highly recommend.
@@JtheMunch Haven't seen that video. Thanks for the info!🙌
@@nv_beats Nice 🙂 in short, while in the end it is true advice, it is very unhelpful advice for beginners as they don't have the terminology to formulate "good" and "bad"
@@JtheMunch Yeah, just because it's true doesn't mean it's good advice. It's kind of condescending to assume those people aren't even trying to sound good. I think the most helpful advice for beginners is just to "keep at it" - as in, it'll take a thousand attempts before you're halfway decent and many more before you're actually kinda good.
Same with "trust your ears" - more like: "rest your ears". If there's one thing you cannot thrust after working 6 hours straight it's your ears.
"i thought that using loops was cheating. So i programed my own using samples. I thought using samples was cheating. I recorded real drums. I then thought that programing it was cheating. So i learned to play drums for real. I then thought using bought drums was cheating. So i learned to make my own. I then thought using premade skins was cheating. So i killed a goat and skinned it. I then thought that that was cheating too. So i grew my own goat from a baby goat. I also think that is cheating. But I'm not sure where to go from here. I haven't made any music lately.what with goat farming and all."
あなたの気持ちに深く共感します。(^-^)
I've thought of that myself! haha
bruh you won
@@SrCarvo it was in the video
That was the genious topping in the video😎👍
1:07 I really needed to hear this from someone cause I always feel guilty using loops cause I didn't make it and it's been hindering my creativity. Gonna try and not take things so seriously and just make things that sound good, rather than trying to make everything from scratch and get held up on small things.
I used to be burdened with deli knee like I have to make everything
If it sounds good. It sounds good.
Just flip them in a creative way, maybe use granulizers, chop them, reverse them, make them glitchy, add distortion, make them yours
Same here. You don't need to be good in everything. Loops are awesome
tbf there's people out there that drag 3 loops on a fresh project and then consider it a completed song. ReFx Nexus vst, you can literally press 1 button and you get a song out of it. Now that's cheating and people like that keep getting copyright infringement notices by youtube algorithm haha
To expand on the quantity over quality point a bit,
1) What you're doing is essentially the same as practicing an instrument and training your ear. You don't need to feel any pressure to publish any of it.
2) Come up with a melody you really like but the song you made around it isn't quite right? Don't just use it once. Iterate, and it will get even better. This is true for every part of a song, not just melodies.
3) You're going to generate a lot of projects that never see the light of day, so why not extract pieces of them for use in future songs as your own sample/loop/preset libraries?
4) This is a great time to experiment with weird ideas and pushing things to an absolute extreme. Since the wisdom goes "the harder you fail the more you learn" then why not try to take things as far as you can and push into the absurd.
5) The feeling that people will judge you for doing things "wrong" is stupid and worthless. The only thing that matters is developing a familiarity with the tools you use. Imagine trying to learn the violin but expecting that you should be able to play it beautifully the first time you pick it up because you followed a bunch of tutorials. You need that automatic sensitivity to the subtle nuances of the craft, called muscle-memory.
TBH I care only about my opinion when producing sfx and music. The rest doesn't matter. 100% pure egoism
Hell, I am a small producer, and my most listened to song is my first one, I released it literally a month after buying FL. The project file is an absolute mess. There is no right and wrong, in the end it comes down to how it sounds. Not how you achieved the sound.
These are good tricks, took me 10 years to figure 80% of these out on my own
"You can always make trash music"
Why you gotta insult me like this? 😭😭
For real though, the more you pump out the faster your process and productivity will be. And when time for a high-quality track is, you'll be able to do it in a fraction of the time because you "experimented" a ton and learned things 💯💯
letsgo
But just make sure not to release the terrible "practice" tracks, THAT'S the part everybody gets wrong lol
this is so true, suspending judgement is really important, Replacing it with discerment and not being too attached or negative about your art allows you to improve immensely.
@@Nikthehermit exactly
Fun fact about my experience with writer's block: you're just tired of the trash you've made. Go make new, exciting trash. Works everytime. Though now i got 28 unfinished reaper projects.
The stick to one synth tip is very true. I used to use a bunch of different FL Studio plug-ins but never really understood any of them, then I started learning Vital and found myself using it more and more and relying on presets less and less. Now I feel very fluent with it and can get close to most sounds I hear in my head.
vital gang
Made the same with Massive.
Yeah, I agree. I used to have tons of plugins. I was always confused. I then got into hardware and started buying a bunch of cheap behringer synths. Still confused. Now I sold them all and only use three hardware synths and one plugin that is unique from my synths. I can basically make any sound I want and I can almost immediately know which synth to use to dial it up in because each synth i have relies on a different type of synthesis.
5:41 when i first got logic the first thing i did was try and recreate songs i had to perform for college that year, and it taught me so much about the program, so this is a super helpful tip, plus it’s fun as hell
That’s was one of the best production videos I’ve come across, at for where I am now. That’s dude.
More Hacks:
* Use the declicking mode for samples to avoid sudden clicks.
* When layering, use the Flip Polarity button on one of the samples to avoid phasing(if needed).
* EQ Kicks just so that they don't interfere with the sub bass's fundamental frequency.
* Temporarily switch keys from time to time to reset your ears exposure to certain sounds.
Good luck hf
you dont really need to highpass kicks, thats what sidechain is for
@@tylerd0nghighlights90 yep. Sidechain is very important
Thanks man. This helps me in achieving one of mine dreams to express myself and be known through my music. I hope that life will be good for all of us💙

You're amazing! I'm 17 as well as new to the whole producing thing. Making music has been something I've dreamed of doing for a very long time, and only somewhat recently have I started to pursue that. This was INCREDIBLY helpful in the sense that you've opened up a whole world of things I can start trying in order to improve in the long run. Straight to the point, while also being fun to watch in the process
Awesome video! So many tips crammed inside such a short time period. Love the touches of humor as well!
this video is EPIC. Not only in content but the way you present it. Great Job Memphy!
ua-cam.com/video/5YniD95RRj8/v-deo.html Finally, its here
My man. This was fast and helpful information delivered in a very entertaining way. Great and clever editing as well. Subscribed
im happy when there are tricks shown and im like "hey i already know this" or " yeah i figured that out myself"
but it was also great learning new techniques - overall a very nice and highly educational video
4:54 I NEED THIS SONG RIGHT NOW
Me too!!!!
thats it for today guxs i hoped you enjoyed watching and see you nexttime ah music 😂
This really gets me exciting about jumping back into my DAW by giving me so many ideas to try. Thank you for saving my time and appealing to my intellect and desire for efficiency.
1:08 Gain a lot of weight, but do it slowly so you don’t get stretch marks. Then lose the weight quickly and trim off the extra skin. You should be able to get a variety of different-sized drum heads from different parts of your body. (For the stands, mine some iron ore and refine it yourself. For the bodies, dig up some clay and bake it in a hand-made kiln.)
To gain that much weight you need to get food that other people grew/harvested. That's cheating.
What a great collection of tips/hacks. Even though some are a bit elementary, the video clips that accompany them are very clear and into the point and make the entire video quite fun to watch. Thanks!
The issue with "do whatever sounds best" to newer producers is that right when they think they've reached what sounds best, all it takes is one video on mixing tips and they're opened up to a whole other level. "Do what sounds best" would make more sense if it were being told to an expert since he/she would've done found everything, but even then it would be useless because they already know to do just that: find what sounds best
69 and 420,
seems like legit numbers
When you realize that the video is 430 seconds: pain
@@wtfexza haha
the editing and design is insane on this. & very nice choice of fonts & colors.
thank youu! I think way 2 much about fonts lmao glad u like em
dude, you just earn my sub, have been learned music production for years, but in such a inefficient way, thanks for the tips!
I love that loops quote, makes me feel much better about using premade samples and loops.
This is not a tutorial, this is pure comedy and I love it!!
I needed tip no. 55, thank you so much!
You earned a sub on the strength of calling out "Nipple Production", that made me laugh my ass off!
It's cool to see so much GIVE AND TAKE in the producer community. Many of these SPARKED some great ideas for me. Seriously though, I've spent weeks looking for something like this video. Something along the lines of cool techniques every producer should know. This was perfect. +1 Sub.
Seriously, thank you! There's so SO many good tips and tricks in here!
Amazing video right there. Most of what I've learned of like 15 years of music production is right in there, even more. Really well done sir! Mad respect!
ua-cam.com/video/5YniD95RRj8/v-deo.html Finally, its here
For 4:14 (whitenoise on chords) make SURE that you use STEREO noise and not mono (most whitenoise oscillators in synths like Serum are mono, not stereo)
Damn dude so much info and so much FUN!!! one of the best guides i've seen, despite it being short it's so packed with AWESOME knowledge!! Thank you for this will be rollin' your numbers many times im sure :D
Great video man
Even though I already do almost everything in this list, this is pure gold for anyone that is starting with production
And you are right writer's block is just perfectionistic bs
I always try to invent a new sound with my VSTis
I tweak them until I get that trademark sound style that people who listen to my music will know its me right away.
That is the real secret to being successful in music ......good understanding of your DAW your instruments, your mixing and mastering skills to be able to sound good on all platforms and devices, and of course protect the most important instrument of all.............your ears
Know when to stop and take a break your hearing will eventually fool you into making adjustments that will end up in the mistake bin.
Music theory is good for some artists but I prefer to make music as I hear it and as long as the sound and music structure overall seems great then your off to the races and most importantly add some emotion to your music.
I find that this is the part in many of today's music that is missing.....emotional sounds that not only tell a story but the sounds lay the foundation for that emotional story so add it in and forget all those 808s and 4by4 kicks with a drone humming and vocalized air sounding chip monk voice because that music sounds like crap after a few hours.
I can listen to 30 songs and they all sound the same because many of today's artists fail miserably in the originality aspect of producing music to the masses.
Find a genre you enjoy then learn everything about that genre from past musical artists work and try and add something new to it.
Be original and create a trademark sound that is the true secret to musical success.
When you listen to a band or singer you like what is the first thing you notice?
The trademark sound and style of originality ......BINGO!!!!!! now go make some real music cheers.
4:28 steal it steal it everything I should steal 😂
Youre guiding how to use a product and also make it a bit funny, love that kind of studding, thanks for your time to create that type of videos ;) keep it up ! love from poland
These are some amazing tips. I'm mostly making hip hop beats and working standalone on the MPC but you have some gems here!
Smll reminder that you don't actually need to volume automate these "fades" in the last hack. In the sampler there is an option called "Declicking Mode" and it does exactly that, tho with specific measures of time.
I realize you got hella plays as a reward but I still feel like you need thanked. You're a cool ass dude.
This is actually really helpful, great video 👍
Thanks for the info man. I love concise information and I could definitely take something out of that!
Last one, use the clip fade option rather than a volume automation, much faster, easier and doesn't clog your session with small automations everywhere
Don't forget about clip/event FX if your DAW supports it. Same idea.
@@gregs6403 events are hidden and don't work in the same way, so no, not the same idea. In FL, in the clip properties, there is a drop down option for how much fade you want on a clip
Love this video, a lot of realistic tips that producers should and actually do in real life. Only thing different in my opinion is, if you're an intermediate producer/musician etc. don't post in reddit producer feedback communities where other producers will give you feedback. Ask your target demographic/audience that might even be some people around you for feedback.
Love the tip about closing your eyes and spamming the bypass button of a certain plugin in order to do a fair comparison. This has helped me to trust my ears and listen if the plug-in actually improves the track or not.
This vid and the knowledge you share is gorgeous and inspiring! Thank you!
I agree with the samples and presets idea, what I do is just affect them af so it doesn't sound like the og one and it's more original
" drink coffee "
automatically grabs my already empty, but with a tiny leftover mug and zips it.
oh yeah. coffee
Awesome video! One of the best I've ever seen for music production tips! Love the humor bits too! 😄
this is right up my alley. short and simple, funny AND informative, overall 10/10
0:39 that sounds so awesome, is there a video on this or can i download it somewhere?
If I had this video when I started producing I'd be a billionaire by now
I am 16 and bored,I wanna learn producing in FL Studio but I find it very complex and boring,Any advice you can give?
@MonkWRLD 999 If it's boring to you then it isn't for you. You will never be good at producing in FL studio if it isn't fun for you.
@@monkewrld9998 what genre do you like? You won't get bored if you really love music or really want to make one
@@massabiq9015 rap or trap
@@monkewrld9998 ohh cool
This is a treasure trove. Please keep making these! I’m learning so much
This video made my mouth open. Seriously, these hacks were really helpful, at least for me. Subscribed
Using loops, presets and samples is cheating acceptable in small amounts. Otherwise, what the hell are you are doing in the DAW? Making a geometry dash level?
U telling me there's people who do everything from scratch?? Ain't no way
@@23ryan53 well, what better way to be unique than that?
Some ppl actually use technique called resampling and know their know sound design stuff so they dont need presets or ready sounds that dont fully express their vision. But thats next level
@@miriamatembe2261 this sounds interesting care to further explain or link to something?
I still havent ever used loops or samples. and have used presets sparingly but almsot always have dramamtically changed the presets well before im workong on the actual track itself.... so yeah i do most of everything form scratch. but I'm not a good producer so take that what you will :D
chords are always a mystery any chord based rule is bound to fail at some point. the truth is all u need to make good chords is a basic knowledge of normal/sus chords and intervals
s and a couple EDM and Dubstep goals for myself, and I guess I better start learning sowhere. Thanks for the great vid!
TNice tutorials is by far, the best tutorial I have found so far. I feel like I’ll be spending a lot of ti on your channel! Thanks man! Keep up the good
Me *watches video:- Ah, I'm gonna try all of these🤠
Hey Memphy, could you do a tritonal tutorial? Something kind of like their song "Now or Never"
I'd love to learn how to make that style of music. There are no other tutorials online. Thank you!!
What a video bro! Can't thank you enough! Thank you so much you made life so much easier!
Youre videos are my favorite right now, ive watched like 4 videos back to back
01:12 ahhhh hits me hard xD
it doesn’t matter if he keeps the speakers low, he have lots of hits
Yup, but the engineer who mixed his songs clearly knows how to use them properly
@@jonatanjargielo exactly! he didn’t have to come @ charlie like that
More, more, and more of this format on UA-cam, this is brilliant
Best video ever ! Thanks from Italy !!!
1:12 is kinda smooth. I very much consider non self made loops cheating, and they wont get you far skill wise. Unless ur the type who makes beats that are just a looping sample, 808 and drum pattern then maybe it is. Just make your own loops, it will be better for you in the long run. Or maybe loops are just a trap music thing that im too smooth brain to understand.
i used to work for a sample company and have made probably thousands of my own loops at this point; most of the time now it’s mot time efficient for me to sit there and really carve out my own loop for some shit just for the pride factor. idgaf, im tryna get an idea down so i can start singing on it and dealing with lyrics, if it needs to be different later i can always go in and make a new loop. but most of the time, eh. if it fits the vibe and me remaking something is gonna change the vibe of what i’m vibing with, then i just leave it! who cares, people listen to artists like me for the singing and the cool beats, they’re not checking to see if i made every sample from scratch and calling me a fraud if not. and if they are doing that, then cool, they’re the smooth brains who let semantics get in the way of stuff artists make to entertain and express!! there’s too much pride in producing sometimes in my opinion. been doing it for 11 years and the older i get, the more i get back to the whole thing just being about how the music feels, not how it was made. there were a good 5-6 years i released nothing and made nothing great because i was so focused on being the most unique and the most amazing at designing sounds from scratch. it was not worth it at all
@@itsdakun A lot of people do Vocals melody first -> then instrumental. If ur gonna use loops u might as well use others complete beats, nothing wrong with that because a lot of people just want to focus on rapping/singing. Charlie puth does vocal melodies first in like a phone recorder whenever he thinksup a thing.
@@EvanPilb I don’t think there’s a lot of comparison there to be honest! switching out samples or beats after the fact can bring a whole new light to a song, and it’s totally fine to work that way! It’s also fine to work making everything from scratch. I think having the skills to do multitude of writing styles is imperative to being a productive producer :) I did a record yesterday where i cut the guitar and bass for a track, and then wrote the drums from scratch after, to the artist’s vocal take. I also did a record a week ago where we used a splice sample and cut it up! All types of ways of making music are valid…as long as you do something cool and unique with it, then you did a good job 👍👍
Yeah true just make it fun for yourself to stay interested. I like this dudes sort of weird style. I like different
Tapping
youtu.be/4ukZ
Tuning the kick from my experience has ALWAYS improved the project, I'm so surprised at Dmaus making that statement. A kick tuned down to the 40hz area is always gonna sound beefier than one in say 60hz + and depending on what your bass is doing tuning the kick is essential imo to managing those lower freqs 🤷♂️
I think kick selection is key. You don't need to tune your kick if you pick a kick sample that is already in tune.
@@mitchio83 A highly refined kick is a thing of beauty. I like to make kicks from scratch (pure sine wave in 3 osc), cut some mid, layer on some mid-high texture etc and eventually tune to play nice with the bass.
For years I never noticed the kick note, just seemed like a dull thud without any real musical quality to it. And even now, a well made kick is very forgiving in terms of which notes it hits. Within a certain range, all the notes sound good and in that sense, it's not that important.
Love this kind of video format! 🙏🏻👍🏻
This is the best video I actually watched about producer tips
Big up to you
For tip 61,
Anybody know good ways to learn those tools in a non complicated way?
Oftentimes with things like compression, I can barely tell the effect of it, not sure if mixing with just my laptop speakers has anything to do with that lol
FL Studio has their own UA-cam channel you can check out for tutorials on all their plugins, I highly recommend it!
@@madrmadrussian4931 thank you so much
Try to safe some money for good headphones and/or speakers -made a huge difference for me
If you are doing compression right, it's very subtle. But yeh, you've got no chance using lappy speakers. Get some monitors and an audio interface.

ua-cam.com/video/5YniD95RRj8/v-deo.html Finally, its here
Everything was really good until the last tip haha: you have an option on fl directly from the sample itself which adds fades automatically (bleeding)
I know you can do that but everyone doesn't have Fl Studio so it though it would make more sense to just show the volume automations.
Im still convinced using too many loops is cheating
I needed this. Thank you sir! Your knowledge bomb will be the foundation of my future so thanks
Congrats on 100k Subs!
I'm glad you brought up the Fletcher Munsom Curve. Great video, bro.
Very Informative, helpful and Educational video! Thx for the tutorial man!
Great video, lots of creative tips and knowledge.. Just subscribed hope to see more like this in future!
Nice ones, thanks! I tune everything, kicks, hats, snares, etc. A kick also has a tonal part, beside the short transient part at its beginning 😉

Best, most interesting, and fun video on music production I ever saw :O
The program works great, thanks, post more videos like this
Sick video Mate, Short accurate, and ez to understand. Subbed!
this is actually super awesome and extremely good tips too what the hell? hahaha nice vid
My biggest breakthrough in music producing is sampling. A lot of it. Literally anything can be drums or melody with enough slicing and effects.
Have project files where you just mess with generators and make different noises and sounds. Export the sounds as .wav and now you can use your "own" samples for future songs.
I figured this works best for dubstep music, cus you can sample a heavy bass, chop it up into pieces and then arrange them in whatever order sounds the sickest, especially to go with rhythm of drums.
Man I love this video, great info, great humor, and most importantly “STEAL IT”
Lots of insight here! nice vid
This was awesome. Thanks man
