I felt like I needed to practice some new miking and mixing techniques. I've also been listening to the Black Keys record, Brothers, a lot, and I love the sounds they're able to get. So for this video, I tried to get into some nitty gritty details of groove and production to practice my time, mixing, and general music-making skillllzzz. I hope you enjoy the grooves. It was fun making a non-song but still music ish kind of video.

So awesome! More of this please!!
Absolutely loving the 2nd groove.
Jack, could we have like one of these every month or so. They're so entertaining and great to show off your versatility! Well done for being so awesome and shiz!
I have butterflies in my stomach and shivers down my spine, that's how good this is.
The third one definitely needs to be a full song.
Second one is fire
I'm always in awe of your music skillz. love the grooves. :)
Funny how these various grooves that I hear fit so well in various grooves of my ear.
I WANT ALL OF THESE TO BE SONGS PLEASE
Jack, you are my hero. Thank you.
Even listening to you practice is entertaining, Jack! You are truly an awesome talent! Yayy!!!
you are insane jack. so many props to you!
Love the rawness of the music. Wish my pratice sounded this way. Love the groove Jack!!
Brothers is an amazing album to pick up inspiration from. Love your taste!
Literally on the list of BEST MUSICIANS EVER!
THIS, is what I want to do for a living.
Jack, you're simply awesome
Mr. Jack!! Lovely! Your drumming is taking leaps man, way to go! Love the grooves and the new gear is exciting!
Those were all fantastic especially the last one.
I loved every friggen groove and I want to hear more. Please. With a cherry on top.
oh maaaaaaaan i can totally hear Brothers in this. soooo good!
love that album.
Please make full versions of all these songs because they are SO tight!
love the second one. keyboard sounds amazing in it.
so good!
SLINKY! Wow this is awesome. I look forward to hearing all the stuff you can come up with! This is a great heads up!
You are so talented - thank you for sharing your talent with us - it is so appreciated
Dimsum solid sounds, man.
You've already got me anticipating the sound of your next album release.
I like the new look. I love the new beats.
This is awesome.
I hope to see some of these grooves evolve into songs in the near future. Great work Mr Conte. Keep it up :)
these are awesome
yeah, keep on this way !
3rd groove was my favorite. Reminded me a lot about Gulf and Push. I love the hard work that you put into creating these videos and wonderful songs :)
At first I heard him play these awesome grooves. When I replayed it a few times, I heard him play Avon, Only Dreaming, Twice as Nice and Telephone, in my imagination. That was fun too.
everything you do is awesome. YES!!
I definitely hear Brothers in there. Awesome sounds.
Even when he is screwing around he makes great music! Musical Genius!
That second one was awesome!
groove three is awesome!!
Awesome!!!
I had a friend toss me Brothers and I couldn't do anything for the next month. They do a lot of things well. Glad you're enjoying it.
Loved the stereo mixing ♥
That was fun!
awesome Jack - just received your VS4 today - shipped all the way from the States to lil ol' England... loving your work and the album is great. please never stop making music... :)
Killer grooves, great pocket stuff.
Nice to step outside of your box. It is easy to fall into a grove (read rut) but good to see you recognizing the need to expand. Great work and a body of work.
man that was sweet love em all, but especially the second and third
so good
Very Black Keys like! Loved it!
@therealfox95 - this is a long answer. i don't have a "job" like a 9-5 thing. but i work really hard. i make a new video each week, which takes way more than 8 hours per day, and the videos promote my album catalog on iTunes. between my mp3 sales, and my band's mp3 sales, and the occasional licensing deal (samsung, hyundai, those things...) i make enough $ to survive. it's a new world. you don't need fame and fortune to be a musician. you just need... youtube! man the internet is cool.
the 2nd and 4th groove are awsome
Dude, it's ABOUT TIME! :D I've always LOVED the ideas and textures you've gotten, and the original sounds you never cease to come up with, but I could never help thinking "Man that sounds cool, but I wish he would have mic'd and mixed things a little more ___", with the blank be clearly or bigger sounding or whatever. Since I'm training to be a sound engineering for a living, it's my job to be picky, so don't feel bad. Anyway, I could already hear a HUGE difference in the sounds you made here.
groove #3 is awesome!!!!
i can't wait to hear some more Black Keys-esque music. I love The Black Keys, and i love Jack Conte.
Jack! hey you gotta see The Black Keys live their amazing! i love your music and i can here the keys in these riffs
Great beats, I have always loved that side of music, I listen to the bass and drums and look for above average talent to really elevate a band above average as far as their style is concerned. You always impress me
A slinky. You're a madman, Jack. Great stuff as always.
mooooore please! each one of these needs to be a new song
outstanding as usual :)
awesome guitar sound !
@particularlylazy I should say, this is one of my favourite videos from you in the last few weeks (Apart from VS4 stuff)
The groove at 0:51 is absolutely slick!!!
i'm positive that this will end up being remixed together by jack to make some amazing song that will blow our minds
love the snare sound at 0:58
Groovy, indeed.
awesome!
3rd part is great!
Sweet, I have the same oxygen8. Keep on doin what you do Jack, you're amazing.
your A true Music Man . Like Ur Style
Such a good way of starting a new day. *plays it again*
0:50 Love the hi-pass on the intro, and then the big phat stereo panned fuzz
Genius!
I hope some producers out there will use these as samples to make full tunes out of these. :D
the way that The Black Keys gets that really "dirty" sound is because they own one of the few all analogue studios still around. once anything goes digital it gets "clean".
one way to get the "dirty" or "warm" sound is by running everything through tube-preamps then into your digital equipment.
Awesome! Dude, Love the black keys influence on them :D
@jackcontemusic so ur a pfofessional musician and a professional youtuber! awesome! and i can see ur passion ur dedication to what ur doin. keep it up!
Awesome beats....I'd buy an album of just this.
The third and forth ones were sweet!
I liked them all
"it's a new world. you don't need fame and fortune to be a musician. you just need... youtube! man the internet is cool." that is so fucking inspiring i think I'm gonna start uploading videos of my band...
I REALLY like the one at 0:50. Well done!
amazing
@Apotheosis323 - For this video I started with drum beats - which isn't how I usually write songs. I usually start with a melodic line and a set of chord changes. But for this video I wanted to focus on groove. So I laid down drums first. then the main rhythm instrument, either guitar or keys. for my next record, I'm thinking about starting with beats and textures as opposed to melodies - it's a scary shift, cuz i want to keep my music melodically driven, but i think it could still work.
Jack Conte
Send more brains.....Brilliant, can't wait to hear what these eventually become.
Great riffs All of them are great the keyboard and feel of the fourth riff reminds me alot of everlasting Light by the black keys from the same album jack was listening too i can see the Heavy influence in the sound awesome all the way through :P
I hope that you make a song out of each one of these grooves in the future!
You should try a 7/8 tempo, but leaving the crash in quarters, so you get one measure in sync and one out of sync. It's nice!
Yes, yes, yes Jack! Come on! On my audio system sounds excellent base!
I can almost tell which songs on the album each groove has been inspired by. 0:54 has a very Black Keys sounding snare. And 1:22 sounds a hell of a lot like Everlasting Light. Good stuff Jack!
overall great!, the riff at 1:12 ish reminds me a lot of Gulf, which is by far my favorite of your songs. keep up the good work!
0:51.
this one is just pure genius.
yeah man the last groove totally sounds like it could be off of Brothers. The Black Keys have been one of my favorite bands for the past 3 years and I really dig the audio style they are able to get when they record.
Jack of all trades, master of song.
sick man sick
Love your style it grooves
Please make a long version of all these Tracks!Great!
Groovy!
CAN'T STOP WATCHING, JACK STOP I HAVE A MIDTERM TOMORROW!
Brothers was indeed an awesome album.
