Sanova Beat Making Video #1

[Sanova]

This is My First Beat Making Tutorial. So Bare with me 'm a little nervous on it.

It is a video of me remaking the beat of:
TI - what you know

on Reason 3.0

This was done by request. and I will be taking more requests.

Tell me what you think. it was a hassle recordin from my speakers to my mic. but i think it turned out well. Thanks.

duration: 23 minutes.

edit: before anyone else comments on how to record audio from the aux input. It cant be done on my current set up. thats why i do it this why.

I have included the Project file, by request (You need the sonic refills - synth 1/2):

Eh its ok. yea there is a way you can actually record the signal internal rather than using the mic. This way the quality would come off better. You did sound a lil nervous.


everyone wants to do vids these days

[nonie]

Good vid. What I want to know is how'd you find out almost the exact notes to each instrument? You just listen to it too many times lol?

[x\SoopaD/x]

I'll check this.

[djrekonize]

def a good video good job
heres a request, how to chop up samples in the nnxt

[Hita_K]

Good vid. What I want to know is how'd you find out almost the exact notes to each instrument? You just listen to it too many times lol?

Same thing i was wonderin. Thats a good vid and i love the original beat it was produced by DJ Toomp.

[Emeezy]

hey did you lock that back door?? lol ...good video man, it was entertaining

[djrekonize]

hey did you lock that back door??

yeah make sure u do that before u make ur next video

[Sanova]

did i not say it was a request. and if you paid any attention at all you would know that I KNOW THERE IS a way to record like that but it isnt supported by my audio interface OR stock soundcard. I've been trying for 2 days.

to everyone else. good look. and i'll start hookin it up on that choppin in the nnxt video.

And as far as figuring out the notes, it just took like ten minutes to find the root notes and that was it. As soon as i found out the root notes of the scales it was pretty simple. the hard part was remembering it all.

[Emeezy]

yea but did you lock that back door?>???

i like how you rolled out that bass, you were pretty much on point with that shit

[Sanova]

no, she was talkin while i was playin the strings, haha i wasnt listnenin. i just said "yea. ok" i had to finish recordin the strings afterwards, cuz i stopped early cuz she was talkin... i played that off as saying "i wanna play it again to get a feel for it"

[Nnxt]

Yea i know you said it was a request i wasn't commenting on the beat im talkin about the vid in general when i said it was ok. I didn't catch the part about your interface not being able to do the task lol dont get all fussy with me over a post please

[Sanova]

my bad i aint trippin, im just mad about somethin completely unrelated.

but yea that was in another post i said that. i figured im sanova, everyone reads ALL of my posts. no matter what. cuz. . . i'm sanova.

but foreal tho, how long did this shit take for you guys to load? i mean.. I uploaded the shit and its taking forever.

[Nnxt]

emm i think it took 5-10 minutes before it actually started playing

[Sanova]

ok i think know why. i can change that in the config file. i have it waiting till a certian amount is loading. If not i'll just re upload while normal poeple should be sleepin

[Emeezy]

yea it took at least 5-10 minutes to load before it started

[Emeezy]

hah it sounded like you burped into the mic when you were goin over the treble of the brass, that shit made me laugh, dude you need to make more vids, your shit was fun as hell to watch

[Sanova]

aight i just looked in the XML file and it starts playing when the movies loaded at 50% already.. if im readin the code corectly. so imma change that to ... 3 percent.

[Sanova]

hah it sounded like you burped into the mic when you were goin over the treble of the brass, that shit made me laugh, dude you need to make more vids, your shit was fun as hell to watch


hahahha i did burp lfmao

[Emeezy]

damn i was almost rollin when i heard that, but seriously..you did a damn good job on that beat..i had a feelin that was a hard ass beat to remake and you pretty much redid that to a T...go work man...hit us up with some more vids...

[Sanova]

Thanks I appreciate it. I'll prolly crank out another video this week, cuz I liked it. maybe when I get some monitors the sound quality will be better. My paypal got hacked, so i got e-jacked for over 360 dollars. so.. im screwed as far as that goes. I was gonna ask for donations on the video, but nah.

[Hita_K]

I'll be lookin forward to the next vid. keep doin ur thing.

[Emeezy]

damn man that sucks you got jacked...did you give out your password or did someone just play you?

[Sanova]

typical hacker. possibly hacked into my cookies and got my password from there. im not sure who it was or how they did it. but it definately sucked.

[Emeezy]

did you try to contact paypal??? normally they are pretty good at gettin your money back on fraudulent transactions

[Sanova]

they reversed the process..kinda.. he didnt get any of the money.. but neither did i. since it deducted from my bank account I was charged an over-withdrawl ffee of 25$. cuz i only had a couple hundred bucks in there. and this guy withdrew a few times. so not only did i lose all my money, i owe the bank 25$ for everytime i was overdrawn.

[Emeezy]

damn that sucks...there has got to be a way that you can prove that you didnt make those transactions...i hope you can figure that out, i know i would be pissed and doing everything i can to get it back....keep raggin on paypal and they will look into it further...even try to see if your bank will call up paypal and confirm the purchases...that just might get them to look deeper into it and notice something thats isnt in the ordinary..my bank called me the other week when i made over $200 in purchases in two days, just to make sure it was me that made those transactions because it didnt follow my usual spending habits...

[Solace]

[mikemat]

Amazing video I'm sitting here trying to reproduce it myself and its really hard for me to get these keys right in one shot like you did, can't imagine how hard it was to figure that song out.

[Sanova]

thanks man, it just took a little time and a sensitive ear. glad u enjoyed it

[nebulous]

i died when you said "look at him way down there"

[Anubis-Ra]

I would have took the easy way out and used the sample.

[Sanova]

[aklaim]

There's no way Toomp used samples. I think he fucks with the motif. Anyway, that was entertaining sanova. Nice work on the keys. Thanks.
