How To Make 'Not Like Us' Electro Beats

[NavieD]

For clarification:
I am referring to the snippet before Kendrick's Not Like Us in this video.
That beat samples an Electro song. Electro was a dance genre from the 80s.

To me the Kendrick stuff is just West Coast Hyphy... not necessarily electro

[a.d.h.s.]

that length shortening automation on the sample is fire, makes a big difference in other genres! thnx <3

I can't say this enough but thank you for all you do. From the course to videos. Its greatly appreciated

Add reverb and delay. Back in the day we danced to strobe lights as the fog rolled from machine across the floor. So, electric boogie should have a few elements that can trigger an epileptic seizure.

Bro predicted the genre of GNX and you was hatin on him

“This beatmaking stuff is easy” *Me who just spent 3 hours on a hi hat pattern*

Way to thrust me into my childhood, Navie! I used to have all kinds of mixtapes (actual cassettes.. lol) with electro/bass music of this era.. I absolutely jammed out! Much appreciated.

[MisterBeigeMusic]

This is the sickest tutorial beat you’ve made

I love your videos as they are easy to follow and have tons of little hidden gems that you don’t have to put in a lot of work to execute!!! I only wish there were an easier way to get some of the instruments and effects.. especially as my preferred DAW is Ableton. Much love though from a budding producer with 10+ years of on/ off experience. Peace love and beefy subs! 😂

hey navie d, im not sure if you teach a lot about mixing and mastering but i was wondering if you could explain hoe albums like utopia are able to mix so many genres but still sound cohesive in their composure and mix. i love how utopia brings me to another world when i listen but it always stumped me how he was able to take so many genres and put his own twist on them and still make them sound together

[electro]

can u give free alternatives to the distortion plugins?

[MidnightVoid]

The new FL Studio kepler VSTs can help a lot with the 80s synth sounds.

[MovieMonkez]

this def gonna be a wave. I’ve been sitting on hella samples, Cleveland in the 80s had it on lock. even edm early 2010s electro is a gold mine. Can’t give the whole game away tho ;)
