Step-by-step guide to making a chill lo-fi beat | Native Instruments


Learn how to make a laid-back lo-fi beat using the CRATE CUTS and BURNT HUES expansions as well as the LO-FI GLOW Play Series instrument with MASCHINE. Follow along as Boris Mezga explores the loops and sounds that are perfect for patching together a chill lo-fi beat. Learn how to shape your beat with different textures, create lock snapshots to arrange the beat, apply additional processing like bitrate reduction and filtering, and even…kittens purring. By the end of this video, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to create a relaxed, mellow lo-fi beat.
