I just recently found out about Miami Bass and its such a wonderful genre to pick the breakier stuff from and spice up your Jungle mix. Those clean funky deeeep basslines combined with creative old skool sample use and a touch of Kraftwerk have basically the same "soul" as early Jungle, just with a focus on BASS instead of drums. Makes it a great switch up from all the drumfuckery and gives everyones brain a proper squeeze while keeping up the vibe :P

i can't get enough of this, more more more ! i have a serious problem though, my head is full of tutorials that focus on individual elements, little tips and tricks i can't find a vid on actually putting all of this disparate stuff together into making a full track though arranging a song, telling a story with it for 3 mins + is hard i can do a hell of an 8 bar loop tho

@TimCant Жыл бұрын

Well for what it’s worth once I’ve got a 16-bar idea I’ll tend to work on the drop section to make sure that it’s got enough impact. Once I’ve got somewhere I’m with that I’ll do a 16 that builds a little on the drop 16, then after that go into another idea. What I find very useful is analysing other producers’ tracks in a very conscious way. Maybe try dragging a track you like into your DAW, chipping into sections, and see how it changes in each part. Quite often it’s just a case of the producers adding and removing different ideas 😊

@seladore Жыл бұрын

@@TimCant ty for the tips !! i'm digging into it! a great thing i picked up is using the locaters at the top of ableton. also cmd + shift + x/c for copy/cutting on every track within your selected time makes moving stuff much easier.
