Fun Fact: Dave 1 (the skinny guy from Chromeo) is A-Trak's brother. Song ID = Princess Pouty by Ian Isiah (produced by Chromeo)

Many years ago in Montreal, I played Dave 1 a beat of mine, which in hindsight was mediocre at best, yet he was very positive and supportive in his interaction with me. He even said my snare was good lol. Didn’t want to let a kid down. Super cool guy.

Been away a very long time and never heard of these guys, but watching carefully their dynamic and how they correct one another or interject their ideas abruptly without hesitation or resistance was fascinating. They work like an almost perfect symbiosis. No ego, just the goal of making a dope track. Beautiful.

We need more content like this constantly bro. I really like how you condense this long Twitch live into a more digest content. Thanks you for that! 🙌🏽

Use loops. Open daw. Find drum break. And chop it up to one shots and chop it with a groove It’s the same like a drummer But beefier. Oh let’s just keep the over head drums for high hat grooves are human Stacks kick snd snare slight swing Banger made. ⚡️🔥

Oh man, these guys are so funky. Thanks for putting out your excellent edits of their tutorials.. Nuff respect!

this is the biggest gem ever i hope yall dont take this for granted and actually use this

This is the most I’ve heard P talk in years

This is a match made in heaven. None of them would be were they are if it wasn't for the other

Wow chromeo rocked LA BACK IN MY DAYS AND GLAD THESE GUYS MADE THIS VIDEO

These are some of the absolute best videos on music production on KZfaq. Thanks a ton for the huge amount of effort you put into each one.

Dude i should thanks KZfaq Algorithm for providing such gems And i MUST thanks you for giving us these videos, thanks for taking the time to do it, it's so valuable ♥♥

WAAAAAAAAAY better. Good job guys. you're killin it👌

You really find us the practical Jems! I’ve learned a lot watching, Thank you for your work.

Y’all are really good at explaining everything this vid helped so much 🙏

This is the most insightful account I've ever come across. We appreciate you so much

I needed this channel so much.

damn sol state, thank you so much

4:07 The kick is hitting at 82K???? 🤣 Don't mean to nitpick but that made me lol hard! Thanks for this amazing video BTW

Ay nice they mentioned Oliver Heldens! He makes super funky stuff too, he’s like the chromeo of house music haha. Kinda fitting

So happy to have discovered the Sol State channel.

Gotta love it when producers refer to bass frequencies as 50k and 85k lol.

If I only heard the last part of this video without looking anything, I would have said Gap Band immediately (that high hat is unmistakeable!). Nice work guys (Sol State and Chromeo).

This is absolutely amazing work with music! What an amazing piece of equipment you got there! Great work!

always killin it Sol State. Great video!

i kinda agree with them... pre-made loops and sample packs are boring... its one of the reasons so much music sounds the same these days make your own sounds... be original and individual

Thumbs up - Good tutorial - I'm a seasoned producer so this video isn't teaching me anything new, yetI really like Chromeo and seeing them produce is interesting for me.

That would be 82 HZ NOT 82K boys.....lol

Thanks so much for doing these Sol State 🙏

i love them so much!

That's funny. I know a guy who played for the gap band, worked with him at guitar center for years, the only reason he works there is for the factory price discount, lolll. Great producer, he taught me a lot.

Oh my. This is a great approach making own drum loops. Thanks man

Thanks for your vids, for the work

why does the guy on the left remind me of the dad from Coraline

Can hear it sounds wicked from the iPhone speaker! Awesome

That was dope.

7:24 me with my boys slamin' spoons on aluminum plates in a jar. The boys are hungry, comrade major 7:57 add an extra hi-hat, speed it up and you've got Thundercat- Them Changes intro beat

PUT A RECORD ON 🎶 Love the video as Always :D Thanks Sol State

82k?:)))Great video. Sometimes layering brings so much more flow to drumms.

Personally I quite liked the sound when you played the bass with the original loops, but I really appreciate the work that went in, and maybe when you added the keys it would have drowned the drums a bit, and you needed the beefier sound of the new drums

Layering is the whole game! Yeah seriously, using ‘shitty’ sounding real stuff is the special sauce, especially when you’re using super clean sources like machines/samples. Every producer should have a hihat in their studio at least, no joke. Toss a 57 up on it, play it in. Even if your timing is off and you have to fix it. Just get some realness in there. If you don’t have a hihat, use a metal knife on something. Just get some real texture. 👌

4:01 the kick is "really goin hard on the 5Ok, no excuse me 82k" K??? Hahah damn these dudes have some super sonic hearing!

Chromeo = Criminaly Underated

Am I the only one that had to watch this like an old Japanese karate movie with the words not matching their lips??? Other than that, great video!!

This is amazing 🙏

100% right about making sounds rather than using samples and loops that other people have made. why even make music if you arent actually making the sounds yourself

Isn't chopping drum sounds from records a music rights issue?

Thanks

Thanks guys

lol the old drums needed vitamins.

Great video! Keep it up

Best Twitch stream recap channel!!

Yay....longwalkshortdock :) Awww I miss MySpace days

Hmmm. I don't full agree about the loop thing. Personally I mostly use hihat loops for grooves. Then rest programmed. Because it can be really hard to get fast hihat groove. For sure it is important to create a unique beat however. But don't feel like you can't use splice loops at all lol. But yeah, you get the point.

Well they did basically use the drum loop but just layered one shots on top of it

I generally trust all Cubase users! :D Good work

I like how the audio and video go out of sync on the stream, but their heads still nod on beat cause the delay is exactly one measure long

you were right. They make killer drums

God Daam these guys are good!

Teach me fellas!!

Great info, but audio quality is bad coming from people that specialise in it?

I think drum loops are almost always unusable, because even if the kick and snare like really gel together or are tonally relevant to the track, there's always something else thats missing, like the hihat is too loud of high frequency, or there isn't enough variation in the beat etc etc. also you can't process the individual hits seperately, unless you automate the EQ and the kick and snare don't hit on the same beat, and if you do it usually sounds bad due to the fidelity of the sample itself. so yeah they are good for getting an idea, but then your left to recreating said idea once your collaborator or vocalist is down with it.

Cool video.....Cubase??Ahhhhhh Shyyyyt

If you chop up the drum loop then I personally don’t care. I just prefer playing the drum samples in a drum machine or iPad BM3.

Fuck yes! I love learning and watching these guys are Music

Please release the disclosure remix? A man can dream. Great content as usual !

Did they take away folders in Cubase? ;)

I guess the loop is Shane by George Duke

Bruno Mars vibes, holy hell

what synth is the bassline from?

I thought we were all done with ‘smash the like button’ lol

Whats the name of the song?

Where was that video originally broadcasted on? I wanna see more of this!

Smash It The Like Button

🙄where can I buy clean drmkits

❤

How do you get around copyright etc? Any tips for not risk being sued? :D

82k? Quite high for a kick :D

8:23 > The original beat has got more eight-notes on the hi hat. I would make that first high-pass hihat that was in the new beat, a little louder, to get more of the old-beat/old-school vibe. Really cool to hear how the loud, new hihat works in the new beat, though. . Loved the passage where the statement was ! Don't just use loop-stuff. Be creative, make it better, make it yours. :-) Thumbs up.

Maybe a noob question. At 6:05 when they talk about taking single drum samples from records, is there copyright issues with this? or is taking a single sound too little of a copyright to be noticed?

3:14 thats so not true, i guess it heavily depends on your workflow, that you have less control over loops and it might be difficult to fit them into their track once its been laid out, but I would never agree on what theyre saying about loops there at 3:14, you can easily find great drum loops with great flow and dynamics, which you can create a track around.

Anyone else hearing 24k magic?

Do you recommend any good EDM drum tutorials?

Remember, these guys got to work with Daryl Hall and friends.

do they ever mention Vaughn oliver mixing for them?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Cubase. Best DAW out there.

Hope your audio quality on your tracks is better than on the vid

That hat is making me hungry

Such a shame that the audio is so bad. I love these guys and would love to hear the nuances of what they do well.

6:35

Cuz you’re a mamas boy mamas boy

Where can I hear the song?

Why is the panning so f**ked up?

2:28 so why sample???

If bruno mars is 24k. These guys are 48k. Funky

Am I the only one here who is skeptical? (didn't read all the reactions have to say). These guys tab themselves on the back, saying they make their own loops and using someone else's loops they think is a bit cheating and corny... . Well, what you guys show in this vid, that's exactly what you do. Take someone else his loop and use it. The only thing you do is change the original sounds with other sounds and use some layers (and probably some fx/comp). Everyone can do that. Everyone can chop up a loop with his software and has a zillion drum sounds in his library these days to change the sounds of a loop. The real genius lies in the groove of the loop and which sounds are used (snare here, hihat there, etc, not the actually sound of that snare/hihat) and when these sounds hit at a certain time point. That is what makes a loop great. When you are taking a great loop and change the sounds, you are NOT making your own loop. You are stealing/borrowing or whatever, the loop from someone else his genius. Don't get me wrong; I don't care if someone uses a loop from somebody else, I do it all the time. But don't take the credits for it by just cutting it up and changing the sounds, put some layers over it and then call yourself a hip hop purist or whatever guy who makes his own loops.... .

Nothing like programming drums, I don’t fuck with loops.

@4:06 82k? Thats high lol 😂
