Kudos. Dope track. I'm old af. Almost 50. When you mentioned "imitating" a style, that peeked my attention. Because a lot of people don't realize that, that is exactly how a lot of FAMOUS well known producers in the house genre started. They imitated what they heard. Todd Terry is a perfect example. Dude straight imititaed what was given to him, and in return created a whole new sound that influence a whole new generation. So on and so on..... Imitation is good! Don't be mislead in thinking it's a bad thing, people!
History of house I’ll give you a few key tips: Drums were basically 808/909 there were also uses of other drum machines like the 727. Drums were also sampled. That eventually evolved and there were splices being done. Either it was between 2 or 3 samples. It was where the click and tail were edited together or the click, body, and tail. The machines were limited so there were many different approaches to how things were done. If you had 2s of memory but a 4s sample, the process was to speed up the sample being recorded and slow down the playback. Add in bit reduction and sample resolution. These added character to the sounds. The synths at the time were a matter of pulling up a patch and making some minor edits. Roland 303 wasn’t much for house then it was for techno. The Roland SH-101 was used a lot for bass sounds. The Roland Juno was the originator for the Hoover sound. Korg M1 was used for it’s piano sound. Yamaha had the Motif. Korg also had the Trinity. The supersaw sound was from the Roland JP-8000. The samplers that were key at the time were from Akai S-950 and the E-mu SP-1200. These are the ones that added the unique flavor to the sound. Eventually the MPC was released by Akai. The MPC became the choice sampler and became the choice sequencer. A lot of that vintage sound came from what you didn’t have. So making that now is more about not having pristine sounds and limiting your selection by using your ears and not your eyes. Stripping away highs and lows due to equipment limitations. Dirtying up the sound by bit reduction. Adding subtle warmth and distortion due to the analog environment. Also a big deal is the cutting of a sample. There was no zooming in cut silence or another instrument from either the head or tail of the sample. Lastly quantizing was either locked in tight or loosely. Each device in a midi chain would loose some inherent timing.
@@SimeonIsraelite heck yeah, the beauty of house music especially from that era is you could make it with anything. Snare drums from a ping pong ball… :)
Could you give some examples on this "click and tail" or "click, tail and body"? What exactly are you talking about? Percussion? Drums? what? Also could you elaborate on the reason or purpose of such activity?
I’m a fan of the Master At Work and they described the process as pertaining to percussions and drums. I was using Sound Forge at the time so any waveform editing software would do. It’s a tedious process but it gives you the most unique sounds. The records at the time were mainly funk & soul. So these were where you obtained your samples usually from the break. The initial transient of the sample was cut leaving the body and tail. So the initial attack was added to another sample that had body/tail. Basically Frankenstein-ing pieces to make a new piece. Today it’s about layering and compressing. It’s the same effect just a different approach.
Great video Mad respect from Chicago.. I’m from Chicago Born and raised, I’m 51 yrs old I was there since the beginning I DJ & Produce house music This video was really great.. good job 👍🏿
One of the best breakdowns ive seen you deserve way more views / subs, cool that it sounds like its not even your main genre but you understand it very well
This video is an underrated hidden gem, wonderful breakdown of how to really capture the soul and vibe of such a deep music genre. Subscribed immediately, amazing video production too.
very interesting process. for a 90s feeling i would just say that sound design & arrangement can be made on 2 separated moments -> u wont get lost with this tips
Sweet track, brother! 🤍 I was there! Started raving in 1988, living in Chiswick, West London, a mate popped round one night, “Get dressed, we're going RAVING!!!” Jumped in his mates BMW, swallowed the pill that was offered, and my life changed forever. I lived to rave, loved everything about it. The music, the fashion, the futuristic sub culture, the drugs, EVERYTHING! Hell, we even had our own language. So, as one who lived it, I can confirm, you nailed “the” feeling in your track. Now, can I have the project file? Cheers geezer, absolutely blinding, pukka!😂
Thank you very much, I was pretty lost but this tutorial made me make waht I would call a banger. All my respects to you and thank you for making a tutorial with stock plugins.
so happy it helped! and also thanks for the feedback because i love working with stock effects. its fun to see how much you can do with them without feeling restricted
@@antmangieriohh I was wondering about that too. I'm like, 909 for the bass??? The bass you created sounds more like an old DX100 or some sort of FM synthesizer.
i think its a electric piano or rhodes playing a 7th chord of some kind , but with some bit reduction and saturation added to the audio afterwards to get that sampled effect
I'm pretty sure you meant that the bass sounds close to the roland SH-101 synth, not the 909, which is a drum machine! :) Really good video tho, keeping the spirit alive!
Firee, one question, the chords and acapella they must be on the same note? I asked because, i think you don't know what scale the sample is in. Thanks.
8:12 That noise you use there. What is that? I call it the deep house noise but I've never been able to re-create it or find it as a preset. Can anyone help?
its a electric piano chord thats being triggered as a sample so i could shift its pitch without the chords notes changing. also i can give it that stuttered rhythm easier that way by messing with the decay in the sampler of choice
Todd Terry - house is a feeling (1991) Marshal Jefferson - Move your body Frankie Knuckles - Tears Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk - Love can't turn around. Some Pretty well known tracks from the era.
ableton 11! u will need a full version eventually of whatever you use. but free versions are dope too. they just have track limits sometimes or they dont allow you to save your work. good luck and keep at it
email me @ antmangieri@gmail.com and i can send some of my personal stuff also could use the splice website (never used it myself) or search for house music "oneshot" kits online or youtube
you can do it in any daw, but i do prefer ableton because they have a lot of stock sounds that are already aimed towards edm. also, if youre just starting out, dont be afraid to use drum loops or melodic loops to get through the creative process smoothly all while having fun!
@@antmangieri I just started with fl studio and made my first tracks with a lot of loops. But I hear a lot about Ableton, so i think i will switch to it.

Nice put, But can you make a House Music Track like like this tho???
@@SimeonIsraelite heck yeah, the beauty of house music especially from that era is you could make it with anything. Snare drums from a ping pong ball… :)

EXCELLENT EPISODE and deep information for such short episode. #salute from an older house DJ from Chicago.
lovely thank you!
it goes hard 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🆙🆙🆙🆙🆙
amazing walkthru
love from Korea❤❤❤
Great stuff
nicee 💥
How does this guy not have more subs?!?!
nice
amaaaaaazing !!!
Well done man. Sounds dope!
Great project ... I've been using Ableton for 5 years and I know how long it takes to get this unique sound just using standard plug-ins. Nice work :D
You deserve this sub, sir.
you mean 303 not 909 for the bass
absolutely , thanks for the correction ** !
I thought it sounded like a Roland Juno or Jupiter
@@antmangieriohh I was wondering about that too. I'm like, 909 for the bass??? The bass you created sounds more like an old DX100 or some sort of FM synthesizer.
🤓
My favourite era, nice track too. Another sub.
This is really good.
great video!!
love it
you got a new sub !!
you should do different videos like this for diff genres would be dope
i will! thanks for your feedback fam
damn whata good vid
I really love that chord sound. Does anyone know how it is made if you haven't got the sample?
i think its a electric piano or rhodes playing a 7th chord of some kind , but with some bit reduction and saturation added to the audio afterwards to get that sampled effect
i subbed ant man
your voice sounds great...let's do a spoken deep house track...just for fun...thanks for the video...learned a lot...
I agree, you could make a great house track with your own voice featured, talking about the history of house or something ;)
Can one find this full track somewhere? Great vid!!!💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻
its up on my bandcamp page :)
Nice video. Can you share the sample pack like j dill you used on the chords?
I'm pretty sure you meant that the bass sounds close to the roland SH-101 synth, not the 909, which is a drum machine! :) Really good video tho, keeping the spirit alive!
thanks for knowing your instruments :)
def tryin my best out here lol and not tryna spread too much misinformation
@@antmangieri No problemo, you're a top notch producer, keep on keeping on!
6:52
Square bass sounded like TR909? Isnt the 909 a drum only device
hey whats your ableton theme bro can you share a link for the theme I really like it
similar to the dark theme its called discord theme or something
👍
Epic song and project. Are you gonna release it?
i can pop it up on my soundcloud!
@@antmangieri yes please
its out on bandcamp now actually!@@sabincp1
Thx
Really cool, thanks for the video. Where can we get this tune?
on my bandcamp.com page!
This is awesome and I’ve been searching for a good forum. What DAW are you using?
thanks for checking out my channel! i use ableton 11 !
Don't know what any of that means but imma try it out
Firee, one question, the chords and acapella they must be on the same note? I asked because, i think you don't know what scale the sample is in. Thanks.
yes if youre referring to the root note probably. kinda made a risky decision to smash a major and a minor chord together. it def makes it sound weird
8:12 That noise you use there. What is that? I call it the deep house noise but I've never been able to re-create it or find it as a preset.
Can anyone help?
its a electric piano chord thats being triggered as a sample so i could shift its pitch without the chords notes changing. also i can give it that stuttered rhythm easier that way by messing with the decay in the sampler of choice
Great video! Could you give the name of that j dilla sample pack you used?
thanks! i got it from a friend back in 2018 when i lived in Berlin so im gonna do some searching but ill get back to you when i find out for sure
@@antmangieri commenting to get notified as well :)
woudl love to know that too
Ditto
im gonna figure out a way to share it with everyone. even if i have to rework them into new samples. i cant find the origin of it. ripp
Yooo what if I’m like a beginner, starting from scratch
loops are your friend!
@antmangieri Nice, what is the name of the track in this video, and where can i buy it? 🔥 🔥 🔥
i just released it out on my bandcamp!
@@antmangieri Bet, you should post the link here for others as well bro....
Please post some tracks for reference :)
great idea! thanks
Todd Terry - house is a feeling (1991)
Marshal Jefferson - Move your body
Frankie Knuckles - Tears
Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk - Love can't turn around.
Some Pretty well known tracks from the era.
What program are you using ?
ableton 11 but in dark mode !
What software is this? Can I make this on my Apple laptop?
ableton 11 and yes of course!
which is the program you're using to build everything up? i'm so new and I use the free version of FL
ableton 11! u will need a full version eventually of whatever you use. but free versions are dope too. they just have track limits sometimes or they dont allow you to save your work. good luck and keep at it
what daw is this? Can I do this on reaper
ableton 11 , and yes reaper is awesome. just doesnt have stock synth sounds i dont think.
How can i find a chords and pads pack?
email me @ antmangieri@gmail.com and i can send some of my personal stuff
also could use the splice website (never used it myself) or search for house music "oneshot" kits online or youtube
Hi mate any chance I could grab the same stuff if I email you
Also the acapella 😊
@@tellzywellzy1604 yeah for sure i got u
Vocal
What the best DAW for house music production like Matt Sassari?
you can do it in any daw, but i do prefer ableton because they have a lot of stock sounds that are already aimed towards edm.
also, if youre just starting out, dont be afraid to use drum loops or melodic loops to get through the creative process smoothly all while having fun!
@@antmangieri I just started with fl studio and made my first tracks with a lot of loops. But I hear a lot about Ableton, so i think i will switch to it.
@@Saami.bnn200 give it a shot homie. i want to try FL out someday too just to know what its like.
This track on Spotify?
not yet but its on bandcamp
What is the opening song in the intro clip
the track i made later on in the video! i have it up on bandcamp.com to listen to if you would like also !
where do you find acapellas like this?
searched for em on youtube here, actually!
What software is this plz
ableton 11
this is not sound 90 ..sound like a crap digital PC music from 2024 ...
This is literally what House sounded like in the 90s… lol.
awesome tutorial! im trying to follow on garage bang and its tricky🥲 but getting somewhere
keep at it!
