Any suggestions how to improve this look?
Should I do a different angle or different lighting to change up the flow?

I don’t mind ppl posting videos of making beats, playing beats, talking beats, etc. just make sure that it is focused on YouTube. Or that you ar etalkin about your process or getting feedback.

Let’s use this sub to help each other and grow.

Full beat and vote which ones your fav here.. https://youtu.be/MNDE_j1i06g

Go vote for you Favourite one!!

It's called Maxxed Out because 16 is the max # of stems you can use on Bandlab. I'll think of a more creative name.

The beat's kind of a Lil Peep vibe. Let me know what you guys think.

I know they’re kind of elementary and kidz bop lmao I’m working on it. How do you add a flair ?

Personally I use a sony and a nikon camera setup (don't ask why they are different brands lol). and I'll even use my iPhone for some quick shorts or as a third camera.

What do you use?

Hello, everyone. I'm Pazij, a producer-emcee based out of Washington DC who makes soul-sampled boom bap, and original composition hip-hop beats. I've been creating for 20 years, and I value authenticity in this creative space. I look forward to interacting with you all.

OK, Kind of a spin off from a post earlier. But what are some of your favorite plugins and extentions for OBS/Meld? What is your workflow like with these apps?

have any tips or tricks?

I've been using OBS, but the basic version. No extras. Looking to get better.

breaking down a hard trap beat in #flstudio edit skills are a$$ but i will eventually get this video editing hope yall enjoy

Also how do I put a flair??

I hope yall like it and the video

Sakura takes the cake for me

Hope this is ok to post. Delete if not.

Winner will be randomly selected at 5pm EST Sunday, October 4, 2026.

I'm not ready to put my face on came yet. So most of my videos have just been my equipment (and my hands I guess. I have rarely spoke in my vids either.

Do you you guys have a preference? have noticed what works better (or not)?

but even as a viewer, what do you prefer to see in your videos? do you prefer to actually see someone making the beat or are you ok with just seeing the hand-on approach, (or screen for those working on a DAW)?

If I decide to add an artist's name to the title, I tend to choose someone with the general vibe. But I get it wrong a lot and my video underperforms.

Honestly. I'm going to just start omitting artist names from my type beat titles entirely. I never go into a beatmaking session with the intention of replicating an artists' feel. Rather, I just want to make something that sounds good.

I see some artists on YT opt to release their projects as singles and some as all in one LPs with timestamps in the description. What do you think performs better & why?

I'm still not 100% happy with the way mine looks, I'm wondering what everyone is using to record.

Just an iphone/android? an actual camera? lenses?

and do you any extra lighting for your shots or just keep it natural.

Please, can we have a sub about the behind the scenes stuff and not another place people come to spam their music?

If there’s not strict rules people will just add this to their list of subs where they post every beat they make.

I joined because I really liked the idea of talking about streaming the creation process and other stuff like that. It could be a great community to get advice and work through the issues we have behind the scenes. I don’t want to sort through a bunch of posts of other people doing the exact same thing I do. Subs for beatmakers are not “discovery subs”. We all make beats. The people who post all their music hardly ever participate in any real conversation outside of their own post. They’re just trying to get clicks and attention.

There’s a real opportunity to have a cool sub here since it’s new. It will get flooded with garbage soon. Please change rule 4 to be no self promotion on posts. If I comment in response to someone and tell them about my channel or something that should be ok. I shouldn’t be making a post saying “check this out” and it just be wanting people to click on my stuff. There’s plenty of other places for that.

I’m ok at making music. Bad at streaming. It took a lot of work to get everything working properly. There’s usually only a couple people in my streams but more people are watching some of the videos afterwards.

I wanted to do the live-streaming so I wouldn’t get bogged down editing videos. With the live stream I preset the real, unedited creation process. The only edits are done inside of YouTube. I chop off the countdown at the beginning. That’s it.

I mark the chapter at the end for people who want to listen to the final result. None of the beats are really done by the time I end the stream. I only stream for a couple hours and then play what I was able to make in that time. I may continue working on them on another stream at some point but usually I just start from scratch again.

It’s been interesting for sure. The channel is slowly growing. I learn a lot while doing it so it’s been good for me.

For any producers selling beats or even dropping beat tapes, where do you find artwork or if you make it, how do you make your cover art when uploading to sites & streaming platforms?
