I have been an a jungle obsession for the last month and all the videos I have previously watched never got me the sound I was looking for. Finally broke through the glass ceiling with this method. Many thanks.
you absolute legend, i was used to chopping manually or slicing to midi and intricately piecing it together, this is a new way i shall have to add to my roster as it just looks so fun, cheers dude
I chopped up a Beasty Boys track using this technique but was too afraid of using it because of copyright but it was so much fun. When I have friends round they always ask for me to play this track at my house parties.
This is such a great tutorial. All your explanations are so clear, even down to the specifics of how you configure your compression and exactly why. Thanks so much, I've learned a bunch of new stuff about processing and using breaks and I'm hyped to play around with some of these techniques!
You can do all the same things in FL. Use SlicerX or Edison. ✌️ Slap some Reverb on a send (or on a parallel channel) and make a bandpass filter in the Parametric EQ to focus your signal around the snare. You can edit the level to pop open when you stall your break or make a transition... Should I make a tutorial translating from Ableton to FL? 🤔
i do something pretty similar in logic, with it playing to the end. but i also have it end on note offs, so it can be polyphonic and slightly blend in the new hits, or so it can stop at the end of the bar, even if the last sample is from the middle
i never considered the idea that a dual mono saturation insert would effect a drum break differently to a stereo insert... this a great video, thank you✌
My man! It's ashame that so many larger tutorial channels just push their bullshit talks and meaningless content, speaking words but saying nothing. You only have like 50 subs and manage to fill up first 10 minutes of your video with more meaningful stuff (especially for beginners) than some of these channels in all their videos altogether. I have like 9+ years of experience in music making and I'm sad to see so few people care to speak about the importance of context, importance of experiments and how and why it is done. Like you open youtube looking for inspiration, looking for something new to catch your eye, to bring you another perspective. And it's often goes like this. Clickbait thumbnails - very high chance it's trash - 10-15 videos skipped instantly. Yeah maybe there's something good in them, but you can't make yourself care at this point. You just tired of this. Ok, so next - few videos with like 300k+ views. So it's very likely that you already know all things they are talking about, so skipped. Then like 3-10 videos with guys that are trying to do something and say something comprehensive but barely manage to. So then 2-5 videos where guy just picked up a daw, made like a dozen simple 'beats' as he calls them and already teaching others about music production barely knowing how to send instruments into separate mixer channels (in FL i mean, god this is everywhere). I'm so glad that people like you exist. Wish you a very good luck, fun music making, strong health and peaceful sky above your head! With respect and love from Russia. Sorry about my English)
youtube tells me i've reached 10k views on this video! wow! thank you so much for watching, and for all your lovely comments. i'm overjoyed that you've found my tips helpful. please subscribe to my channel because *i will be making more tutorials in the future*, and it would really help me out to get to 1000 subscribers so that i can apply to be a youtube partner! speak to you again soon and happy music making
I’m noob 😬 Ableton Live bundled with Minilab 3 Volca Keys E-4 Dreaming of Volca sample 2 ngl 🙏 Oh and I have a budget mixer and a mic. Technics amp and sweet wooden Luxor stereo speakers. I love music ngl.
really cool stuff thanks ! Can I ask, do you have anywhere to recommend for me to learn processing techniques such as saturation before compression etc. Just somewhere or something I can read to kind of teach me these fundamentals?
i'm glad you liked it! most of my knowledge i've just picked up over the course of 12+ years of studying, making mistakes and trying things out - i've never read any one particular resource that has covered things completely. i wish i had a better recommendation for you! my number one piece of advice is to experiment, and try to think through every choice you make and the effect it will have. this is the skill that will serve you best in the long run. for instance, if you wanted a more saturated sound on your drum break that *doesn't* have the wider dynamics (perhaps if you're making a deeper or more dubbed out tune where the break might be more of a background layer with some filtering or delay, for example) then it might sound better for the whole mix to compress before you saturate. there are no hard and fast rules, only decisions with different effects, and it's up to you to choose the one that will suit your music the best. in that situation, i would listen to the drum break with both versions of the signal processing, and try to decide which i prefer. it can help to over-emphasize the processing you do if you can't tell the difference super easily, and then dial it back when you've chosen so that it works in the wider context of the song. i hope some of this makes sense! for other resources and tips, i recommend pensado's place on youtube (he works on very commercial music but his techniques and knowledge are world class), sound on sound magazine, and dan worrall's videos (the master of advanced mixing techniques on youtube!). thanks again for watching.
Ngggghhhhhhh...... These type of vids always end up reaching for the amen..... Yes, it's the king of breaks and yes it's temping to go "Look... Hey presto! Instant jungle, kids!", but examples using other breaks would help freshen the topic and hopefully lead to broader learning thanks to different challenges and solutions being found. Nice vid tho. :)
in my defense, the title does specify the amen break! all these techniques are applicable to any other drum break you might want to use. maybe in a future video i will try some others. thanks for watching!
@@BobbyBundlez Aside from you ignoring the sentiment expressed across my two comments; you claim that "If he used a specific break u wud ask why they chose that and how u can download it urself. "...... That's just presumptuous nonsense tbh.
Errrrrrr, so hell yeah I sub'd!!! 🤍 You have that special “thing” that makes your tutorials easy to understand and follow, 'tis defo natural attribute that lots of “teachers” just don't have. Looking forwards to checking out more of these vids. Any top tips on decent classic breaks sample collections? So many libraries just seem stuffed all filler, no killer!!! Cheers.
thank you so much! you know, i've got a folder of classic breaks that one of my university lecturers shared with the class for an exercise years ago - i've pretty much always just used something out of there. what i usually do when i'm looking for samples is to just search for "[samples i'm looking for] reddit" and usually there are people sharing decent stuff, though it's often a case of quantity over quality so it takes some sifting through. but you only have to pick out the good stuff and made your own folder of the highlights one time!
@@outsidersoundYou know, I often overlook Reddit as a source of stuff. I'll have a wee look. Any particular breaks you couldn't live without? Being a house head, my breaks knowledge is limited to the say the least. Thanks, brother.

🙌
Really enjoyed this tutorial - a great explanation of how to approach making this music, I’ll definitely put this to use 🙏
the first guys ever (?) explaining clearly whether to saturate or compress first lol. no questions my man
i'm a girl but you're welcome!
Respect my Wo-man. ❤
Creative people would experiment, sheep need lessons to sound like everyone else 😂
the most lovely, easy and inclusive explanation on working with drum breaks that I have seen! 💜💜💜 Lots of love to you!

Beastie Boys rock and are great for sampling.

Ooooof!! I felt that in the depths of my soul: Jungle will never die! 💎 And, it has a reemergence now, which is WICKED! Inspiring tutorial btw 👑
this is such a great tutorial and has finally opened up the world of making breaks in ableton for me, thank you!
hell yeah
Thank you so much for this
This video is very well done you do a fantastic job getting ideas across
thank you so much! stay tuned for more at a later date
Great video thanks
i use fl studio, but this guide was enlightening to watch, thanks a lot
glad you found it useful!

@@orpheuscreativeco9236 please do
Just found your channel, lots of great advice!
that saturator technique was bonkers how come I never realized it -- so simple yet so effective. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏
so happy you found inspiration in this video, thanks!
i do something pretty similar in logic, with it playing to the end. but i also have it end on note offs, so it can be polyphonic and slightly blend in the new hits, or so it can stop at the end of the bar, even if the last sample is from the middle
I like to place my own markers, okay it might take a bit of time getting it right but well worth it.
masterclass..- wow..- thanks for the thorough run through,,
My pleasure!
Trying to improve my break skills and this video definitely helped. Thank you love.
Nice one fella
i never considered the idea that a dual mono saturation insert would effect a drum break differently to a stereo insert... this a great video, thank you✌
Only one that's designed to model an analog process like this! Unless your break is a stereo source itself.
Thank you so much, it’s very useful guide

thank you for your beautiful comment! your english is perfect by the way
Your English more clearly understandable than many native speakers 👍🏻
never before have i seen someone do anything with breakbeats in ableton
This video slaps
Nice one! You have a great teaching style.
Thank you!
Great stuff! Informative as well as fun. 👍
Amazing tutorial thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much, fixed 85% mixing problems. 阿彌佗佛

Why is there so many drum break tutorials on YT but so little for hex and witch house or even hardstyle? :(((
decent. thank u

Really? The amen break?
That's correct! It even says so in the title!
It's one of the best breaks, most people love it, and always good to get some processing tips for it because it's a hard break to tame.

👎 to you
