hey what's up guys Stefan here today
we're going to make a beat with some
classic R&B chords my free kick trap
attack too and some vocal samples so
let's not delay let's get to it so for
the cords here I used an organ from
alchemy one of logics free stock plugins
the chord progression i'm using here is
a classic it's a 25 1736 movement but if
that doesn't mean anything to you don't
worry i have this chord progression on
my website for free download all you
have to do is just share this video and
it shorts you can import it into any
session any music software as well so
next we have the drums and i'm using
trap attack too again my freak it and i
use this often in my tutorials just to
make people aware that it exists and
that they can use it in their beats for
free
[Music]
so this sound here is also a sound from
alchemy it's quite a subby base so it
was very important to have the kick and
the sub base or the base on one Accord
you know they actually couples up with
the kick and as that sub base to the
kick and gives it body so it's important
that they're not doing the other thing
for the most part anyway otherwise
you're gonna have a love clash in that
lower frequency range a core truck to
use however when you're doing this is to
put an actual compressor on the base and
side chain it to the kick so every time
the kick actually hits the base will
take a gain reduction for the most part
their base is actually playing the root
notes of the chords but there are times
where I'd be there from that just to
draw the listeners attention to certain
important notes I want to really
emphasize and within the cord daughter
Alberto channel

so this is actually a vocal sample from
apple loops done using here and I've
just tweaked it a little bit by dropping
it twelve semitones down and also
duplicating it and raising it twelve
semitones so you've got a higher voice
and a low voice and I've also just take
it off a lot of the top end in terms of
frequency and I did these things mainly
just to take you out of the way of what
will be the space for the main vocalist
I couldn't have this vocal how it was
originally in the track you just get in
the way of what the main vocalist is
trying to sing and try to say so I just
quickly wanted to add a bit of
percussion to the track I didn't really
want have to pay anything in so I've
gone to Apple loops and i found this
loop and i think using loops is okay as
long as you take the time to make them
your own so I've just taken part of the
loop that I like and I've ditched the
rest and I've created a loop out of that
and then I've just added a flanger
effect just to make it sound different
so I'm just going to add one more piece
of percussion and then we'll begin
arranging the track
[Music]
this vocal sample reminds me of a layoff
for some reason and so much so I'm
actually going to I've had an idea to
put some like birds in this intro I'm
thinking that timberland right now so I
am I throw some birds in there just that
I had a bit of flavor we have
characterized fill up fill up the track
actually because when you got an noise
in the background actually fills all the
frequencies in doing the spectrum so it
just pulls off the track late Rose empty
