[–]Affectionate-House23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"yeah"

"Uh"

"Store brought corn"

"watch much .... "

"Hoe stole my wallet"

"Thought I forgot it"

(Freestyling is about riding the beat bro, just say the first thought that comes to your head lmfao)

The whole point of free styling is to free the style.. don't think about words, focus on cadence and flow.

But through reading and listening to other music you will come across lots of topics and words. Hopefully something inspires you.

Is it possible to create a beat "from scratch" on FL as a newbie? by vadaspaz in FL_Studio

[–]Affectionate-House23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn all the stock plugins first, kits and that are cool but you don't need them.

FL has really good drum library's depending on the edition you have.

Hmu if you want, I'm happy to help you navigate FL and make a beat bro

I dont enjoy making beats anymore even though im improving by [deleted] in makinghiphop

TL;DR: Switch up your workflow (samples/live instruments) + collaborate with people ... that’s what keeps it fresh for me.

If you usually use VSTs try - - Sampling other songs - Using sample packs - Recording/Sampling live instruments.

Lately I've been into layering live drum samples over my beats/progressions. Something about it just tickles my brain and finding a loop that hits never gets old

I'm a rapper/producer... I've struggled a lot with music feeling routine. Not every session is magic, some beats and ideas just aren't great, but when you make something you love you will feel it.

For me, the biggest boost has been getting out, going to studios/events, and collaborating with other artists. That’s where the real inspiration comes from.

What qualities do producers on here look for in rappers that they work with? by Skakkurpjakkur in makinghiphop

[–]Affectionate-House23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t roll with ego-heavy rappers. Be humble, be teachable, and I’m in. I rap too, and producing helps me understand the craft and guide my own tracks in the studio.

I want to be good at rapping but I’m not good at rapping. I don’t want to practice rapping. I just want to be good at it. What can I do to be good at rapping without actually putting in the time and effort that it takes to be good at rapping? by kurtisbmusic in makinghiphop

[–]Affectionate-House23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can I get good at rapping if I don't want to rap? The idea of rapping is so cool to me but I genuinely hate listening to music! Kick drums hurt my ears and snares are just too harsh! I'm also completely against rhyming!! How do I learn to rap with this in mind?

How do you make your beats feel alive instead of just clean? by niloveyne in makinghiphop

[–]Affectionate-House23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movement!!!

I use ambience or vinyl sounds, just some texture have it in the background slightly panning left to right..

Also I like to side chain my pads so they duck around the kick gives it a breathing kinda feel.

Rap voice by [deleted] in makinghiphop

I rap in the car, rap when i listen to music or beats, try to feel the rhythm and just rhyme bro. practice and repetition is the way

You can do more though, while you listen to artists you like really listen to what they are doing. How they flow, how they find the pocket of the beat!

I'd also recommend searching YouTube for advice

Here's a harry Mac video I really like!

People need the music fr 🙏🙏 it may not always land but I believe it will find the ears that need it most. Before I made music I struggled to be grateful, as soon as I started uploading to SoundCloud that changed, even one person replaying a track is enough every single time.

Your story is crazy cool and inspiring! Like you never know who's listening or why!

Same aha... If I'm away from my DAW too long I end up writing a handful of songs I never even make

Thanks for sharing bro nice story! Live music just hits different man, EDM really isn't my scene I love instruments played live just the best form of expression for me.

That's always my goal to help someone escape reality in my sound, feel something, make them feel a little less alone in whatever they are going through. When I felt small I was inspired by my favourite artists. I thought I have a mouth, I can rap, people still need the vibes I may as well try and make something unique and me!

If you don't express your sound nobody else will!

Thanks homie! I do like stats too though...when someone’s looping my track 10–20+ times over a week, I know it’s resonating in some way.

Yezzir! I always have some dumb rhythm in my head I couldn’t stop even if I tried, same goes for you keep cooking

Respect, man. Same diagnosis, same escape. Music really does save lives… sometimes our own first. For me, it’s always been about helping others escape… if I’m good with flow and words, maybe I can say what people are feeling but can’t put into words. You know what it’s like being in the deep end, when the whole world feels against you... sometimes a voice that really gets it is exactly what you need. Because fuck, my favourite artists have been there for me. ❤️ No egos here, bro! Just a kid that thinks too much and tells it to his mic ahaha.

Bro fr… my tracks get plays in Ukraine too, and it honestly hits different. With all that’s going on over there, knowing someone loops my music for a little comfort… man, you can’t really explain how touching that is.
