Dude... why are all your tutorials straight to the point with no fluff? Why are you giving useful and practical information? One of the few channels that I can actually learn from. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I just got back from the Brazzerstep party and my ear holes hurt

Nah this is like one of the best videos I have ever seen on music production, as i like to add toploops for texture but they seem off most of the time which leaves me with this akward position of not wanting to cut it but not want to include it either. You are a lifesaver.

I was not aware of this. I am now aware of this.

Cannot stress enough how important this is!

I’ve been doing this manually for ages. That extract groove tip is unreal!

Bought Paradox Vol 4 a few days ago and there's some awesome stuff in there, thanks Zen!

Beep Beep! Zen's catch phrase. Love your shit bro, learning so much from you.

Best tutorials online. This is gold.

I was so used to logic grooves that when I switched to Ableton it messed me up but seeing how you do it is validating my process. That little release gate is underrated for cleaning loops up to fit together. They need to add automation to it too so we don’t have to keep resampling it

Lol I just asked SSOL about this a week ago and here you make a video on this exact topic, wonder if he gave you the idea 😂 Thanks for very helpful tutorial!

I haven't seen this video. Cool explanation, I want to add something as well, I made a track last year and I used in total 11 percussions, some of them are simple one-shots percs and the other 6 percussions are loops. What is important to note is that, in order to make room for each and every one , is not just about EQ, advanced width & advanced panning techniques, but is also about the sidechain of those percussions. Each percussion in my production has different sidechain. I use LFOtool for sidechain, some are hard side-chained, some are normal sidechained, and everything sits well in the mix. Those percussions were used in order to bring a much more energy to a track at a low bpm (not just to be groovy, but more energy). It was a trance/future rave track at 128 bpm, which I made it, to feel energetic like a trance track produced at 136 bpm, so basically I focused on percussions (plus other elements) to make a more energetic track at lower bpm. When you mix it at 130 bpm, sounds wilder :))

Amazing video as always, for years you never failed me man. Thanks lol

Pure gold!! Thanks a lot mate

yup yup yup yup, big up, very helpfull and needed. Cohesion is key.

great video as usual , but i missing out on humor clips , but thats me, go for it !

perfect video, just what I needed! Legend !

this could useful to match the snare riser loops to the track too. this is soo nice. Zen thank you. very valuable info here. Zen got the best tricks.

This is a great tips. Big big thanks!

This was such a great video ! Thanks

Skillz, nice video Zen

Amazing video! Cheers

As a FL user, I have to admit it's way easier in Ableton to do this... only way I'd know how to fix this in FL is newtone?

Zen World da man.

Hey Zen, you can lead Hardwell's MIND CONTROL

You can bet on the identity of my drum loop on DraftKings

I really like to watch and hear you more than the funny AI guy. Less is more 🤙

Zen, any chance you have the sauce on recreating the ARP 303 Saw from Sylenth1 in Serum, big fan of the sound but have been having trouble getting it to sound perfect. Idk if I'm missing something in the patch... Fire vid as always, you're on of the people that got me into music production and have been such a help throughout the way

insane, ur a legend

Thanks!

Is there a way of automating groove centrally such that you can have it increasing in intensity over say 4 or 8 bars?

THNKS LOVU

Do you have a suggestion on making these kinds of loops? What I did was printing from grooveboxes and applying an fx chain, do you have more trchniques that are quick?

BEEP BEEP. you are amazing

I can't find the video where this guy breaks down Dezko - Ascend LFO s can someone help me, please?

Im brand new to ableton. Im confused on how you added the swing back. You jsut quantized everything on beat. How did you match the swing to the lead drum loop that you chose? how do you get the swing back after you quantize everything.

I swear by Deceiver vol 5

Do you sidechain these drum loops in tech house?

Saviour

all good but i rather stick to my vans than jordans - what now 🤔

''Browsers p**no step''

it doesn't work every time, mostly you have to do that manually ;)

How to apply this same techniques in fl studio 20 ?

5:52 what command is that

LMAO he said brazzers

sam i think you already had a tuturial like this

bro cmon man all famous songs are built off of just using other peoples drum loops

That's why house music sucks mostly, It's a matter of being aware and take care of using 1 swing value for all the parts and be careful when combining things (sometimes it's not a problem and becomes the fitting vibe but that's only with separate loops not with full loops) Timing is so important because we are sub millisecond accurate (about 200 microsecond accurate)

music production tutorials are just all bad these days

shhh. don't be sharing all the secret sauce!

stacking drumloops? man thats sad. GET A DRUM MACHINE / 1 LOOP, And you made it! Get a dam machine....are you scared? Your world will change, its like Drawing rather than copy pasting
