Did you use a reference for this track or were you more intuitive with your drums. I'm finding that although I like using reference tracks, it kind of puts me in a box because I try replicating everything instead of being creative
I always use reference tracks. But I use them as a guide not a blueprint. It is something to refer back to to so I can check I'm on the right path. When I make these videos I use between 2 and 4 references to get a general idea of the sound. I might pull specific things from them here and there if a type of sound or melodic pattern etc is very synonymous with a particular artist.
It is beyond believable how closely you’re able to replicate tracks from different artist and DIFFERENT GENRES… Not just arrangement vise, even the “sound” , whether it’s sound design or mixing technics, your ability to match it so closely is unbelievable. I’ve struggled with coming up with different grooves depending on genre and I’ve learned so much thanks to you… Thank you!
Can’t remember if I commented on this already but anyway … another great tutorial mate. This is the kind of sound I’m digging at the moment … learnt a lot! Those hand crafted drums are pretty inspiring
Hi mate, great video as always - thank you. Question, do you usually create the whole drum pattern (including all the small perc and details) before moving on to the other elements like bass, pads, etc? or do you first create the basic drum pattern, move on to other elements and then go back to the drums and add all the call and response details?
Thank you for make me discovered how to create that atmospheric backround fx to using DS Tantra 2. First time I heard in one of Oliver Kolezki's track. However , The tuturial and the track of yours is super interesting. Please make more video and track like this !!
Hey Dilby, amazing work! Love your taste and the fact that you make tutorials for some of my favourite like 8bit, Gorge, Mihai etc. I would love to see your take on a sound similar to No Smile On The Street by Hraach
Cool man. Drop a link to your video and I'll learn how it should be made. Better yet, drop a link to the music you have released so we can see how a pro does it!
