I can agree with that. Most just looks better as a title of a RUclips video. I always thought Afta-1 and Monte sounded similar until Monte starting leaning towards those trap beats everyone is making now which sounds less distinctive to me. If aliens only listened to RUclips producers, they’d think all music was color bass, glitch and trap and that everyone used Ableton:)
What's going on with the RnB chord trick? "use the 5th chord in the scale but shift the 2nd note up a semitone" - so if you're in C, the 5th chord is G, the second note is A and we change the A to an A#? Nah man, doesn't sound good. What am I missing here?👽💋
i think he meant the second note in the triad? in the video he moved the 3 up a semitone but that just made it major so im also confused what technique thats supposed to be
Yeah I think that explanation was a mistake. If you wanna make a minor 7 chord more interesting. Add a 9th, 11th, or 13th or play around with drop voicings.
He's not counting the bass note shown in the clip. Ignore the bass note. He's using 7th chords, so they're four notes It's the second bottom of those notes. It does work! For instance, in C Minor, I could go CMin7, E flat Maj7, D half dim7 and then the fifth chord of the scale which is GMin7. That final chord sounds fine but the progression doesn't feel very r&b. However, if you take the notes of that GMin7 chord, G-A#-D-F, and instead make it G-B-D-F, it suddenly has that r&b feeling.
Monte Booker is the best example for ideal music making. All he is doing is having fun , without thinking about the end result
Loner videos are great, He always inspires me to go and make beats
How have I not heard of Monte Booker?! Watching this and listening to that idea you said about those chords...my minds racing with ideas
Def check him out
Glad monte is getting more recognition and appreciation
Monte crazy 🔥
Facts
If you've ever used Kontakt's Playbox, you'd see how beautiful it can be to use different sounds within a chord progression.
Ill have to peep
I remember monte on the RoD3 documentary
Main reason he came up short was the lack of a core melody/melodies.
Funny how Monte was releasing fire since soundcloud days (10+ years ago) but yall discovering him only now
idk who yall is lol but we been hip sir
Word!!!
anyone have any recordings of his twitch streams? shit was amazing
Grids Are For Kids
I’m new to this and wanna learn to have more control of my sound and record what are you and the other dude using to practice making these beats
I personally use Ableton Live but he uses FL Studio for the most part I think
Monte booker is great but your title is a hook more than an honest statement. If it’s honest then you need to listen to a lot more producers.
"Distinctive" might have been a better word choice than "unique". But "most" will always get you in trouble!

You're right about the title thats just how things are on youtube haha
@@ldre_tvBecause people are afraid to be themselves. Monkey see monkey do mentality
He kind of just making beats how they did in the 90s and how r&b producers and neo soul producers make beats..
Yeah nothing special. Sounds too familiar 😂😂😂😂
Definitely special and creative with it tho lol
I think poducers should do more reaction bassed content.
