- Deep dive into low end theory of mixing and production. Also, Akai MPC sampling techniques, working without waveforms and timelines. Also, I even sneak in a little photography and the Age of Enlightenment...go figure!
The last of the RB content also...I hope.

Lots here, if you can get into it...comments are always welcome, it helps me to know if I'm too far out there. Have a great weekend and be sure to watch this 1000's of times.
Facts …. To many care about the wrong thing in hiphop
Agree 1000% the glitches are what makes it golden. Perfection is the killer of spontaneous creativity and can choke the life out of art
Young MC, Delicious Vinyl, The Dust Brothers, Paul's Boutique....This is a hip-hop channel.
Legal pad is the protip-
I STILL use the ASR-10 to sample and put together my joints. I know about using your ears to find , sample and chop...its loose and never exact, just the way I like it. Love these videos good Sir. Thank you
Talking about with sample chopping by ear ... this is one of the reasons it's so fun to make beats on the SP 1200. The whole workflow on that machine is slow, but its also intuitive and fun.
Thanks Tony for your honest opinion about our track.
new favourite channel. don’t overthink it too much, the stream of consciousness reveals so many gems
Torturing us? ha! 18 min has never gone by faster. MORE MORE MORE MORE! 🔥🔥
A different world, but I'm trying to get into producing progressive/melodic house. I've been having these amateur blocks of trying to just perform what others would consider routine, and the side orders of perfectionist behavior have not been helping.
lookin forward to the musical institution v hiphop video. darker the better. i myself notice that no amount of traditional sonic advice really equates into anything near what hiphop achieves sonically.
You are not too far out there. Keep the flow going , much appreciated and very informative on the mixing theory:)
the character is what makes it interesting, unique and more like 'art'.
I had "RB" type engineers in the 90s tell me my samples were off key or label my sounds "bad snare" on the tape. Didnt stop it from being an "underground hit". My favorite RZA beats are filled with mistakes.
Yea. Seeing with your ears is my golden rule.
100% agree with this and this goes right back to the blues. Modern blues music recorded in super pristine studios with expensive guitars just does not have the same feel as blues recorded from the 70's and back. Budweiser advert blues is just bloodless. Its the dirt and mud where the real magic is. Same with Hip Hop.
Even though aiming for complete perfection is a losing battle, it's not entirely fruitless but still not worth getting completely sucked in. Some of the targets that you shoot at while striving for perfection may ultimately be what make or break your record, and sometimes that's a risk worth taking. There's a quote that I like too, "attention to detail is the difference between good and great"
Been watching your teaching awsome helps me allot
Always appreciate the videos Tony, you’re the man
