Playing out of key can be one of the coolest sounding things you can do! There’s all kinds of chromatic/modal possibilities that will give your melody/chord progression flavor. But of course in the early days that might not be applicable. Loved the vid!
Quick tip for you Ocean: When you press CMD+R on a highlighted region, it duplicates it forward. I use a lot when arranging, faster than click-dragging with the mouse.
Clicked on your profile cause I was thinking who has the nerve. Then I see you have no videos but then I click on your playlists and wow I am amazed. Mans has a playlist of Gordon Ramsay and a good taste in music genres. Had to sub. -bored wanna be producer in lockdown 2021
Usable tips, thanks very much. 👍 I believe 2pac feat Dr.Dre - California Love + Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still D.R.E. are very good examples for the simple melodies.
Bro I been watching ur vids. My beats have gotten so much better. I have got inspired and more educated on producing. It was a blessing I found this UA-cam channel
I never really had that much trouble with overproducing, but then again, one of my primary influences is Philip Glass, soooooo 🙏🙏🙏 Another great video btw! You’re literally a blessing my dude.
Hey man nice channel, good stuff here for a budding producer! I also have MPK mini 2 and Focusrite xD Did u finish the New York song? I was ment to put some rap on it but had disagreements with other rapper. All the best
Ocean, do you know how songs/tracks switch between that Lo-fi sound and the clean sound? (without making a separate lo-fi track of the same instrument e.t.c). Like right before a beat hits or something. I would guess they're able to manipulate sections of the whole song in a channel EQ but IDK how to do that? Anyway your videos have really helped man, I'm almost ready to upload some more music I've made and your tips have helped be way more productive on Logic! Peace and blessings :)
With Alchemy, the only option is Stereo. Because of this ive been meaning to ask you since you first mentioned alchemy and 808 combo- how am I going to use my 808s in MONO where they usually belong.. I’ve had to bounce the whole region out and do a bunch of channel bs and I still don’t even believe logic telling me it can ever be mono.
Great videos bro been following you for a min🔥🔥🔥. Question how do you get your video to go back in forth to full screen of logic window then back on you?
Is it worth buying an Apple computer and Logic Pro x or should I download software onto my windows pc? If so what software? I need something simple to navigate and use, something with good sound quality (no i don’t want buzzing in the background @thelastsoftwareidownloaded) and something that will let me plug in a midi keyboard (trust me I’ve downloaded some badddd software and I just want something good already 😂)
I've been having this problem where my mix sounds better and clear through my monitors but then when I listen to it with earphones it sounds muddy and the overall quality sounds dull. What's the problem here and how can I fix this?
Thanks for the video man I'm sure its gonna help me in the future...Also as a new producer, have anybody any suggestions where I can share my beats so I can get honest opinions on my music? #oceangang
Simple beats sell... look at the genius deconstructed for rich the the kid's new freezer, for example... his second biggest song and the beat is a 2 bar loop... and KDot hopped on it as well!
damn the alchemy tip is a time saver!!!! I would always bring in my 808s into ultra beat and up or lower the pitch to put them in tune and if I didn't like the way it sounded I would have to drag in a new 808 and re tune it and it would kill so much time. fire vid as always!
@@prodbyocean jea ok that's true but I would say you can do as many Melody tracks as you want if you are able to let them play and in hand together ... So your Tipps might work for something like trap beats where simplicity is import but something like flimmusic definitely can't live with many instruments playing at once. But thanks for the Video it was pretty helpful and inspiring...🔥

Useless fact: he said common 56 times
Ur committed

Check out my top VSTs video - thats mainly it
good shout

Yh bro I just figured that out this week aha
Clicked on your profile cause I was thinking who has the nerve. Then I see you have no videos but then I click on your playlists and wow I am amazed. Mans has a playlist of Gordon Ramsay and a good taste in music genres. Had to sub.
-bored wanna be producer in lockdown 2021
Great video! When you spoke about simple melodies “The London” is a good example the flute is only 4 notes 😂
Exactly!
Logic Gang 💪🏾
🤘🏿
Just got it 3 weeks ago and I'm kicking myself for not getting it earlier. logic for life!
Logic is so powerful! Logic gang!!!
Fl gang.
@Johnathan Black I use logic bro. Chill, it was just a joke.
Usable tips, thanks very much. 👍 I believe 2pac feat Dr.Dre - California Love + Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still D.R.E. are very good examples for the simple melodies.
Thanks bro needed this🙏🏾🙏🏾👌
Bruh dropping gems. Dude the way u cut and paste on logic is so smooth lol
Tryna find that fl workflow bro ;)
Helped me a lottttt! My first day of music production. I am a junior Guildhall student and i know the basics thanks. Helped me so much!!!
Also what was the midi keyboard you used?
I subscribe and turn on ur post notification
Ayyy thanks man! Welcome to the fam
@@prodbyocean can I get a shout out plz
great video, I'm learning music theory right now and it definitely helps when you first start out producing like myself.
Thank you for the 808 tip. I hear so many records on the radio with beat makers who got placements and their 808 are not in key with the song.
Bashanvibe if you remember can you name some of the songs
I’ve never heard a song on the radio with a out of key 808
yes blood thank you again big up
Could you make a leveling tutorial?? Just explaining what dB all the sounds should be hitting at? :)
Gotchu ok👌🏿
4:19 how do you make that sound of it kinda rewinding a vinyl at the end of each sound
Zombie gross beat
Zombie fade tool
Chop at reverse each second split
I didnt even realize 808's should be tuned...thank you!
Love this channel. So informative 😎
Appreciate that bro
No... We as the people appreciate you my good brother 💯
Your 808 description was so helpful. A video on eq frequencies and tones would be dope
🤘🏿
super helpful bruv
Thanks man🙌🏽
Bro I been watching ur vids. My beats have gotten so much better. I have got inspired and more educated on producing. It was a blessing I found this UA-cam channel
thanks man, super helpful
Thank you!!
Video on how you sample? Love your videos by the way!
I got 5 - 6 on this already bro 👌🏿
Thanks so much! I’m a new producer and have made and released about 8 beats on this channel and this is going to help so much!
Glad to help bro
Me too! Thanks! I’ve watched a lot of your vids and I love them and the part when you say off the pitch, I play soccer!
Too fire!! simplicity is key
For real 👌🏿
I always over produce, I can’t help myself 😂
Same haha - we've been diagnosed with "over producing syndrome"
This is what the people need 🙌🏻⚡‼️

Hey Ocean, thanks for the content. any links for the Key finder ?
Search it on google 👌🏿
These are very great examples, thank you. #Ocean
🙏🏿💯
Hey man nice channel, good stuff here for a budding producer! I also have MPK mini 2 and Focusrite xD
Did u finish the New York song? I was ment to put some rap on it but had disagreements with other rapper.
All the best

I think it’s probably track automations - automating a filter 👌🏿
@@prodbyocean OK i'll check it out man :)
With Alchemy, the only option is Stereo. Because of this ive been meaning to ask you since you first mentioned alchemy and 808 combo- how am I going to use my 808s in MONO where they usually belong.. I’ve had to bounce the whole region out and do a bunch of channel bs and I still don’t even believe logic telling me it can ever be mono.
Ocean would you say it’s better to have less tools to breed creativity and make better music?
What software for producing do you use
Damn this video really helped me Ocean!👌🏽
Glad to help bro
Honestly I didn’t get how to fix the third problem. I’m using plug in electronic drum kits. How can I tune the drum kit to match my song. Thank you :)
I just started producing and this was super helpful
YouR Mistake You Forget To Place End Screen !!!
BTW Love YouR Video's They Motivate Me All The Time !!
Great videos bro been following you for a min🔥🔥🔥. Question how do you get your video to go back in forth to full screen of logic window then back on you?
Cheers bro - it’s just me editing
helpful 🔥🔥
🤘🏿
Thank u
Thank you
what microphone you use bro
Extremely helpful, you just dont know bro. Thanks

your voice makes it so easy to listen and understand lmao
Bro the beat you had how did you make those crazy effects?
Yh bro 👌🏿
Simplicity is keyyo bruh will you be doing any critique beats videos in the future id like to send something if you are ✊
👌🏿
keyfinder is a life saver!
For real!
Herb Dean is now a music producer :O
2:09 tenet trailer
Helpful video but who won the last sample challenge?
That video is coming on friday
If anything, I always under produce
can i use a mpc studio on logic
Maybe - check the akai site
Try making like a juice wrld hear me calling type beat. You know, like, piano, organ pad, afrobeat
I've been having this problem where my mix sounds better and clear through my monitors but then when I listen to it with earphones it sounds muddy and the overall quality sounds dull. What's the problem here and how can I fix this?
old comment i know but you're probably exporting it with the wrong settings
why are you not using quiksampler, much easier
PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER STREAM/ VID ON REACTING TO OUR BEATS!
Thanks for the video man I'm sure its gonna help me in the future...Also as a new producer, have anybody any suggestions where I can share my beats so I can get honest opinions on my music? #oceangang
I do livestreams sometimes where I critique beats - turn on the noti bell and jump on soon 🤘🏿
Do you have to pay for logic??
199$.
Matt G. Thanks. That’s good to know.
Simple beats sell... look at the genius deconstructed for rich the the kid's new freezer, for example... his second biggest song and the beat is a 2 bar loop... and KDot hopped on it as well!
Yup the simpler the easier and much more fun to rap to

Produced by BankNotez Why just use mx24 for the 808’s It’s easier because you can hit the note that you want
Yh when I first started I did the same. Alchemy is the way to go 👌🏿
@@prodbyocean Ook I find the Mx24 easier because I can actually play the keyboard, thanks for your response my brother.
@@prodbyocean Ex24 thats what I meant lol
Really good video... BUT i wouldn't call it mistakes because in creative things there is no wrong way.
Yes I get what you saying... but no, if your melody has notes out of tune, imo 99% thats a mistake
@@prodbyocean jea ok that's true but I would say you can do as many Melody tracks as you want if you are able to let them play and in hand together ... So your Tipps might work for something like trap beats where simplicity is import but something like flimmusic definitely can't live with many instruments playing at once.
But thanks for the Video it was pretty helpful and inspiring...🔥
But ok if it's out of tune you are right..
can you please make a Mac Miller type beat
I just stepped into making beats. It's been only 2-3 months and I don't make any of these mistakes.
This is a good sign I guess 😉.
Wow. That’s nice. How do you fix the third problem? I didn’t get how to do it. Thanks ☺️
I never put my 808s in tune, I just go off ear..
Bro..srry but plz add subtitles in your video...I don't understand much ENGLISH...I really like your videos..
You forgot that typical trap 4-8bar intro without drums lol.92%of beats start like this 😂 . We all can use an intro and outro tutorial for real!
That’s just a standard that the human brain loves
Idk how people can get 808 notes wrong...It's just bass notes, that usually follow the melody.
Pro Tip : Put Reverb on ur 808’s😏💯
Garcia Btz big brain lmao
HellRaiser Beats Haha ikr
👌
Whos here before 50k views?
👍🏾
It's okay to be out of key with borrowed chords.
I respect ocean more now that I know he brushes his teeth before shooting videos
That’s really the key tbh 🔑
Great vids, very helpful just remembering all this stuff, and keep practicing it all,so it go in lol,you the man on youtube bless bro
