Bro WHAT????!!?! I think my whole life has lead to finding your RU-vid channel. Why is it NO ONE even talks abt how to make Motown or even breaking it down anymore 😭 it was and still is THE BEST GENRE OF MUSIC
The Takeaway : This reveals a LOT of the secret sauce to the sound, like the string falls and the automation for the humanizing feel. Good job. Good video.
I'm a huge music geek. You did a great job! Congrats! I think the only giveaway this isn't authentic IS the drums which were never mixed that loud back in the day.
Great video, always good to see how things might be replicated from scratch. But something that would help folks like myself who sometimes struggle to see how the pieces add up (especially in the early stages), you should periodically play everything you have so far. Can group them how ever they make sense, for example after laying down instruments A, B, and C, play ABC; after D, E, and F, play DEF, and then play ABCDEF, and so on. I’m sure I’m not the only one who learns well this way.
you time travelled through music dude.. awesome tutorial. Give us more mate! i am so subscribing i may not have good plugins as you have on this very tutorial but ill use what i have to get as close as i can
thank you fam. next video is dropping in a couple of hours and I'm filming the one after that tonight. Yeah bro I'm a huge advocate of using what you have to get as good as you can. I used mostly stock plugins and "basic" libraries to get most of my early placements.
Loved this whole concept and execution, great work man. My only comment would be that I expected you to thin out the drums and push them further back in the mix, especially considering that the purpose of this is to act as an old school sample for building a beat. Other than that I thought your whole process was excellent
Thank you 🙏🏾. Tbh I can't remember exactly what my thought process was in the moment there. Usually when I do things that way it's either A. out of convenience and not wanting go into the plugin itself and just opting for a quicker solution or B. leaving the reverb on the kick still had a certain sound character that I preferred over just the dry sound. But again I can't quite remember which it was here.
Have you tried putting a cabinet emulation on the Rhodes? This can make a huge difference in authenticity. I also found that for reverb usually convolution based chamber / medium room, plate and spring reverb works best for oldschool sound!
