S2E25 - S2E25 - Should You Sound Design While Beatmaking

When making beats, should you sound design while making the beat, or should you just use a ROMpler to select high-quality presets? This is a question I get ALL the time! In addition, I also get asked is using a ROMpler cheating? And the answer is NO! Remember, sound design is a totally separate industry from making beats. We as beatmakers need high-quality sounds to make our beats fast and with quality. It still takes A LOT of skill to make a beat.. but drum samples and synth presets allow us to make professional beats fast, and it makes mixing A LOT easier, too! If you try to sound design while making a beat in FL Studio, you will discover it slows you down way too much. My advice is to do sound design separately, then use those high-quality sounds to make your beats. The beatmaking process goes: Make the Beat -> Arrangement -> Mixing -> Audio Painting -> Mastering Sound design is a TOTALLY SEPARATE INDUSTRY.. and one you may never have to learn to make high-quality beats.. If you want to learn sound design, that’s totally up to you.. and be prepared because it’s overwhelming.. just like learning to make beats was! =========================== GET THIS EPISODE'S RESOURCES: https://itsGratuiTous.com/podcast/s2e25-should-you-sound-design-while-beatmaking/ =========================== 📘 Try my FREE Book "5 KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL BEAT": https://itsGratuiTous.com/5keys 👍 Watch My FL Studio Courses: https://itsGratuiTous.com/courses/
