I’m not even a drum and bass guy like that but this is one of the best logic x pro tutorials I have come across since switching to logic a few months ago. Thanks bro!
This is the best logic pro x drum and bass (drum) tutorial on the whole of youtube. It’s criminal that you don’t have more subscribers. Thank you so much! Can you make more for bass, synth etc ?
You're a legend man answered all my questions, it seems like many dnb producers aren't as generous with their knowledge as genres like rap producers. But thank you man made my day.
Love the tutorial! I feel i really understand the basic concepts better now. Also when using decapitator I found for my breaks that Drum Fattener 1 completely took the punch out of my kicks, not sure why that is but I used Drum Fattener 2 instead it sounded much cleaner for my mix!
That's the thing, everything is dependent on context. With analogue modelled plugins saturation/distortion, you need to be aware of how hot of a signal you're sending in to them. Gain staging is very important here.
video is decent man, looking forward to watching more from you! only thing i would say is your mic is quite quiet so i found myself turning the volume up and down quite often as the drums are quite loud. but solid tips and really clearly and thoroughly explained too, keep up the good work!
Ah, I did think that. The original recording was an hour and a half long, so this is a super condensed version. You can slow those sped up sections down via RU-vid's playback speed setting if you want a better look at what's happening at least. Hope that helps!
I can certainly make a video covering parallel compression in the future! In my latest video going over my Logic template, I very briefly go over the routing for parallel compression. May be worth a watch?
i tried the think break with quick sampler in logic, it’s a 1 bar loop, but when i export the midi notes, it exports more than 1 bar of notes? shouldnt there only be 1 bar?
Thanks for the awesome video! I'm just starting to get into dnb production. Is it common to layer multiple breaks over each other like this? Is the purpose to achieve a fuller busier sound?
Building a full and busy drum section is a stylistic decision and falls down sub genre/vibe intention. You can get the best of both worlds by cutting pieces out of each layer too, this can often end in a cleaner result than what’s shown in the video. A good indicator for this is how busy the entire mix is with everything in context.
Hey! great video, wondering if you ever do this and THEN chop it to midi? Or otherwise, how do you incorporate chopping breaks with midi with this approach to mixing breaks?
You can definitely build a drum track, then group layers together and bounce them in place. Then take that audio file into a sampler. I made a video on how to do this part, take a look on my channel.
@@prspktvmusic sound bro this video is bare helpful honestly been trying for long to make powerful dance floor drums like that, I’d honestly love to see a video about what you do to your bass as well would be amazing !
