Welcome back to Production Basics, where we help you get more comfortable in the studio and offer tips about things like writing chords and creating drops for original tracks. In this video, our good friend Nick shares essential tips for adding a classic lo-fi sound into your beats.

Watch now as Nick walks us through adding organic sounds to enhance your lo-fi beat using drums, melodies, and effects from a kit found on BPM Create. Be sure to subscribe to BPM Create’s YouTube channel for more videos like this one.
