Since I know anyone visiting this blog is interested in the beat making process I thought I would do a post about some of the wickedest beat building videos I have found on YouTube. There are of course too many videos to sift through, but I wanted to share some of my favorites. All of these videos focus on different people making beats right before your very eyes. The process of putting together a quality beat can be sometimes mysterious to people brand new to the industry, which is exactly why you should watch and listen to as many videos and tutorials from music producers as you can.
This video come from the young producer Mason “MdL” Levy, and shows how he compiles a beat from start to finish. He dives into file structure, naming your tracks, laying down keyboards and exporting your beats. One thing is for sure, he is inspirational for all of you young up and coming beat creators.
You never know where the next talented beat maker is going to come from and Beat Boy Supe, aka Lazy Dave has some serious talent. In this video he creates a beat based on a few key strokes his son banged out on his Motif 6 keyboard. The beat sounds dirty and is a definite head bobber, so check it out.
I found this video while scouring YouTube and was amazed at this guy’s technical mastery. He seems to have a complete home studio and uses all kinds of different sounds, samples vocals a guitar and other instruments too. He is French and goes by 20syl and is a member of the group Hocus Pocus.
This video features Franky, a young music producer from LA.
Here is a frenetic video of the well-known beat guru Scott Storch banging out a beat on the keyboard. This video shows the pinnacle of the beat mountain, and what a master of the art can do with his tools.
While these videos illustrate that owning your very own equipment for creating beats is how most beat producers do their work, there is no need for you to put out thousands of dollars to buy a keyboard, drum machine, midi or other gear.
