CENTRAL CEE hopped on MY BEAT?! | Ableton Live UK Drill Tutorial

Central Cee is known as the king of melodic drill, creating beats that feature guitars, vocal chops, and lighter instruments with melodic elements.

Central Cee has a new mixtape dropping soon, and the tutorial focuses on creating beats suitable for his style.

The beat-building process will start with creating a guitar melody as the foundation for the track.

Learn the best approach to create Central Cee-type beats and potentially get tracks featured on upcoming projects.

Scaler 2 is a plugin that allows users without real guitar skills to create authentic-sounding guitar melodies and chords.

• Write and play chords using pre-composed chord sets or custom ones • Work in any scale imaginable • Record melodies and export MIDI files • Create riffs based on chords using dropdown menus

The humanize feature can be enabled for both velocity and timing to make the guitar melody sound more realistic and natural.

The result closely approximates a real guitar melody, though some adjustments may be needed for optimal sound.

• Session Guitarist Pick Acoustic (used in the tutorial) • Ample Guitar Light • Spitfire Lapse • Vino Guitar by Echo Sandworks • Various free alternatives available

Key switches are used to add expression and variation to the guitar melody, achieving a sound closer to a real guitar performance.

A pad from Analog Labs is added to fill the background and provide harmonic support to the guitar melody.

Vocal chops from Arcade are layered into the beat to add texture and character.

Since the beat is designed for a rapper to jump on, vocal chops should be kept subtle and in the background rather than prominent.

Origin is a free plugin by Some Addicts that specializes in keeping vocal chops in the background with proper spatial and tonal processing.

Apply the Origin plugin to vocal chops to achieve the desired subtle effect that complements the melody without overwhelming the mix.

Find or cut tiny pieces of vocal samples and layer them carefully to maintain the beat's openness for the featured artist.

Create a basic drum pattern and 808 sounds as the rhythmic backbone for the beat.

Apply the technique from a previous video about mixing drums: play percussion sounds while the melody and drum pattern are playing to check if they match well together.

Use percussion fills and complementary sounds to add energy and variety to the drum pattern without overcomplicating the arrangement.

Verify that the completed beat is suitable for Central Cee's melodic drill style before finalizing.
