    Which theory video do you want to see next? and did you turn on your notifications? 😊

      What about exploring different genres, like dnb, since making “natural” drum loops is very difficult to get right. For beginners getting the drums right is difficult, for example the track poor Leno has a strangely organic hihat loop.
      Edit: Specifically drum loop theory, and the different types of drum loops, the difference between a Felipe Gordon type drum loop and something like a poor Leno type organic-but-still-sampled type loop.

    I'll continue saying it until everyone listens: hands down the best music production channel on this or any other platform. Doesn't matter if you make techno, house, hip hop, ambient, noise, dub, whatever your thing is - you WILL learn a LOT by watching this guy. Another fantastic, easy to understand lesson for newbies or seasoned pros. 22 minutes you will both enjoy and learn from. Love it.
    edit: remember when writing melodies, the silence between notes is as important as the notes themselves. EDIT2: please tell me you're releasing the preset at 17:40 or giving a sound design tutorial for that one specific sound. please.

    Hearing you break all this down, it is apparent just how pivotal Depeche Mode were from 1981 onwards. It became more dance orientated but boy did they kickstart a whole range of sounds that are still around today.

      @sheepkillindog 3 года назад +1

      I like the advice of Mouse on Mars. You start with a loop, than play it. A lot. Play it in the background while doing dishes, taking a shower. Live inside the loop. Eventually you will hum or imagine melodies and notice all kinds of subtleties in your loop. Patience really helps. Sometimes I throw a bunch of notes into a sequencer then start removing notes. A melody of some sort will emerge. Have fun and remember there are no wrong notes in electronic music. Only varying degrees of popularity. 😁
