Leon Switch presents Writing A Deep Dubstep Tune (in 2 hours...)

foreign [Music] [Music] switch and today I thought we could make a deep dubstep tune I um I've been I've had a couple of comments about it people asking me to do it I know I've done quite a few ambient bits so far and different bits and pieces so I thought this bit could um this could this could work for whoever's looking for this kind of stuff yeah I hope you find it insightful and helpful definitely go check out the members section they're all getting these videos early now there's also pretty much all the parts for all of the videos are now up on my Google Drive so they've downloaded them as well there's also a free sample pack every month oh it's well worth a well worth it okay come and join us on the journey into the deep um so without further Ado let's crack on let me know what you think it's quite a long video this one so also let me know what you think of the long format and yeah much love big up and let's get on with the video foreign [Music] so I've launched Ableton and I've got as you can see on the left hand side here I've got my sample series volume one open I was playing earlier on I was just sort of clicking around a few sounds I haven't listened to that sample pack for for quite a while so I thought I'd have a little click through and the first pad I clicked on I was like that's really nice so I figured it's a bigger place to start so what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab a sampler I'm going to put that in on this midi Channel and I'm going to come back to the samples here um and I'm just going to grab this first pad into the samples the next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to grab um the Valhalla supermassive and that is just yeah it's a it's a serious serious Reverb stroke delay unit I've got a preset that I've set up so you can it's Hydra mode mix it 60 delay 860 warp 100 feedback 62 percent density at 100 and what I also like to do is just take the low end up and that just creates a bit more a bit more room in that low end so let's have a little click about the keyboard and see how that is sounding but I know at the minute it's got It's very very slow attack so I'm going to turn the snap on I'm going to turn the interpolation to best and I'm going to bring the start point in I'm just going to give it some attack here [Music] and I'm going to turn off the uh the r key there and I'm going to leave the voices at six for a second [Music] nice and that seems to be looping quite nicely so I think what we'll do is we'll just record that in and we'll get something rolling so let's get the click on the go foreign [Music] to the sound on that pad so it's not just a stagnant just one note long it's got a little bit of movement with it and that's that's really nice so what we're going to do is we're now going to specify that we want eighths on the quantize and then we're going to quantize that and we're going to see how this sounds what I'm going to do is I'm going to drag this back so that they're all in with keeping [Music] okay so I'm actually what I'm going to do is I'm going to make sure none of them are selected and then click the Legato button so that they're all just joined oh [Music] okay I like that so let's drop the volume on that attach and let's grab another sampler uh where are we instruments itchy lips right and then let's come back to the sample packs here let's have a little look that's really nice as well [Music] [Music] that's really nice so let's have a look let's grab that in let's just duplicate this Valhalla supermassive onto this next Channel [Music] okay I think we are onto something here so let's have a little look we can adjust the start Point slightly but let's get this plan [Music] foreign [Music] let's have a quick look here and see what we can do with this sound in fact what we'll do is we'll come back to it let's turn the r off let's just adjust the start point and see what happens [Music] [Music] here what is inside okay let's put the turn the click on so we know where we're at within the the whole thing bring that down all right [Music] let's record that in okay I've started in the wrong place here so let's [Music] [Music] [Music] okay we'll quantize that up [Music] okay so let's now grab another sampler instruments sampler and let's have a look for some more sounds so let's come back to the sample packs here what have we got here we've got I've got hits effects and hits let's have a little look here oh okay let's have a let's have a look at that I quite like that in fact let's just put that in straight on audio and let's just time it up so it's okay it's already recognized it's been 140 BPM that's good [Music] foreign [Music] so let's come to the audio effects here let's grab any uh let's grab a filter that's probably our best bet it's our filter let's also grab a delay and let's also grab a Reverb and we'll grab the normal Ableton Reverb this time first thing I'm going to do is take the feedback down and the dry wet and let's just have a listen to that for the low carton [Music] all right so look at this [Music] let's try our band pass [Music] okay and let's time the LFO up let's try it [Music] hello drive it right I've got way too much movement on there I'm going to go back to low pass bring that up so we've just got a tiny a little bit of movement [Music] back to the this page thank you okay so we are way loud with the actual sample let's bring the volume down on the sample [Music] but minus six or something [Music] let's come back to this and let's ping pong this delay foreign [Music] okay so so far we've created quite a nice atmosphere so let's go to the let's I know there's some quite nice drums in the um it's quite like drums in pretty much all the packs but let's go to the go to the ambient pack [Music] right where are we drums from loops [Music] I mean it's out of time but [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] for a kit that we like the sound of okay I quite like that so let's come to this page let's drag this out into an audio Channel and let's just half the length of this we don't need all of that and let's consolidate that and then what we're going to do is we're now going to just double double check on where these points are falling so everything will be there's no points missed that's good okay so we're now going to quantize this and we should have every single hit caught now nice and then what we're going to do is we're going to right click on it and we're going to slice it to a new midi track and that's going to give us all of the individual hits in a in a drum rack which is going to be cool so I mean we can just program this up how we want now we can get rid of that drum Loop we can get rid of that audio Channel and we've now we can get rid of this program in here because we're going to reprogram it up so for this section here I literally just want the um where are we midi clip anything on that channel all right so we just got a blank sample there so I'll move it out of the way for a second but we'll just delete that we can always re-import it back in um Okay so okay first problem is this uh loop length we need to turn that down [Music] okay so as we can hear where the reverbs on the kit and process being baked into the kit you can hear that we've got all these different hits you know which is which is perfect so let's have a let's get some some hats on the go for this intro part um do that you see anything so let's have a look here so we're not at C sharp and then the headphones I'm not hearing any massive weight with that so we'll see [Music] uh I'm gonna leave it as 16ths just try [Music] okay nice nice [Music] okay [Music] now these next three are fine so we can use all of these [Music] nice okay [Music] so I want like another hit in here but what I might do is add like a touch of delay to the to these hats [Music] [Music] all right let's go try a fours there we go see how that's just kind of brought that to life a little bit [Music] let's also try adjusting the amplifier envelope for the hats there [Music] nice okay so let's grab this let's duplicate this onto another Channel I don't want the um the delay for the next one [Music] okay so actually we could duplicate this across so we've now got the first part of our intro sorted so let's get rid of this channel here for the second of the channel let's get rid of those those parts [Music] sweet okay so let's check out one of the other sample packs let's go to the next one in the series in fact let's just go volume three like I said I haven't been into these packs for a long long time so what have we got here let's have a little look let's have a look at the Melodies because we can always cut one of these up foreign [Music] [Music] nice right okay so let's just grab that and let's just see what happens with this [Music] sick [Music] thank you right okay let's grab some audio effects onto that let's have a play with the sound so let's go beat repeat [Music] and let's change the offset [Music] go two bars so it only happens every two bars we'll also put it on insert [Music] we'll change the amount time amount of repeats foreign [Music] quite like that all right [Music] got no triplets with the variation [Music] and it's also turned the charts down so it doesn't happen all the time okay let's grab a delay feedback down [Music] let's put some ping pong on it [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] let's go before the delay [Music] [Music] because I got a feeling that okay so I'm completely out of Interest let's try knocking this down an octave so minus 12. and let's keep it at 140 for the second [Music] sounds nice foreign right so let's now move across [Music] okay and what we're going to do is with this one we're just going to bring this this end point here across so that we start just to cross fade this beginning part here so that we get the towel the little bit the towel coming to this first this first little bit here show here [Music] because it wasn't quite as natural as what I would have liked to be fair so to go with it all right so let's I want to grab these I want to just Loop it over this section for a second all right let's grab some drums [Music] let's turn the speaker on so we get the headphones on so we can right let's go Eights there we go and we'll quantize that control U let me take it back [Music] okay sure it's not quite like that back this across let's drag that again [Music] okay so I'm actually kind of feeling that let's go and let's duplicate that a couple of times [Music] okay let's come to this drum Loop the hats here [Music] grab a side chain so we'll go Dynamics compressor put this here select the drum Loop [Music] you can see we've only got the bass drum and the bottom of the snare selected for the frequency as you can see on the duck in here on the display [Music] let's have a look here let's change the drum sound all right [Music] just want it a slightly snappier to begin with [Music] and what I want to now do is grab a filter [Music] I want to grab a delay [Music] and I want to grab our Reverb [Music] nice [Music] [Music] so let's now program in some of this automation let's automate this filter so we'll press a on the keyboard which will bring up our automation let's just select the filter frequency here which will then activate the filter frequency on the channel and let's just try some for a second I'll let that up again and maybe even descending so Oblivion at the top there we'll probably delete some of these notes out at the end here have that quite so [Music] it's too high [Music] foreign [Music] right so we could even with this we could grab a beat repeat after all of these [Music] thank you once again turn the chance down so that it will only happen every now and again [Music] all right let's try adjusting the speed here [Music] [Music] I don't want to sound like a woodpecker [Music] try giving it some more Reverb [Music] the old release too round [Music] thank you [Music] all right just adjusting this a little bit [Applause] all right let's Also let's try some LFO [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now boxy that Reverb is [Applause] [Music] Okay so we've gone too high with the wrong one [Applause] could even try bringing that right the way down to the end [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's do that [Applause] foreign [Music] a little bit of Decay on that [Music] just playing with the amplifier envelope for the drums [Music] okay and then the very last thing I want to add on to this channel is like an EQ eq8 foreign just an intro kick nice all right bear with me just two seconds Okay cool so where are we let's have a listen from the start [Music] okay so what we are going to do is we're going to come into here and we're going to delete some of these drums I think that's going to be our Best Bets let's make it a bit smaller but let's get rid of that let's get rid of that let's get rid of that let's get rid of that [Music] so we could add in a couple of a couple of bits and cases [Music] [Music] okay so let's grab 16th on the quantize here and let's now duplicate this across but grab another bass drum [Music] [Music] really nice still going to lose those M ones didn't think it needed that okay so I think that there so far we are sounding really good so there's a couple of bits of notice that I want to have a look at one of the first bits is I want to grab so this hit here and duplicate it back before itself and then I want to just hit the reverse button there we go and I just want to have a quick look at this I think what I'm gonna have to do Julie is do that and then just move this along oh and then I can just drag this out so they they sort of tie up and do this Crossfade thing a little bit so we get a little bit of both there we go so they should then start just to Crossfade in the middle there start morphing so let's play it from the top and let's see where we're at [Music] foreign lovely [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] really really really really really cool so what we could do now is we could now just sort of minimalize this very last bit here before the before the tune drops so let's have a look what have we got here this is the nice okay so let's grab the end of this let's bring that back this one here what is this one nice do the same with that in fact we'll come into the part here and we'll just do that oh grab the end bring it across that let's just lose that note entirely and then this is the I think he sort of Okay cool so let's try moving half of this we could try so let's just knock that back up to the normal pitch so we're now up an octave to what we were and let's give that a go let's Also let's grab this reverse let's put this here make sure we're in the right place there which we're not so let's go back across to here that's we could just grab this whole section here and we know where we're at nice okay so let's hear it from let's hear it from this from the top let's just listen [Music] and Assemble [Music] [Music] ready for wherever we're gonna go next but that's cool that's got potential so let's let's have a look let's grab a symbol so let's come back to the sample packs here um drums let's go kits thanks now have we got symbol in here all right okay so I should have on this let's go sample in three drums kits crash [Music] okay that's cool so we'll grab the grab that right button and we'll just drop the volume on that [Music] okay let's have a look here so we go to the the drumlic one which is our hi-hat pattern double click on that and let's have a look so I know that I'm not using the kick drum there so I can replace the kick drum with another hat there we go and I also know that I'm not using the snare which I think is I'm not sure [Music] okay so we're not using that square there so that's fine sweet so I might just need to have to I might just adjust these um separately like for the amplifier envelopes and stuff but that's cool so we've now got a couple more hits we can we can add into that into those hats when we want to if we want to [Music] oh foreign [Music] just before that came in there grab this come into here so we'll use this as like a like a build up tool let's grab just that first bit there and let's put the volume fade in so let's have a look see how that sounds also grab some effects onto that [Music] oh yeah that was cool really really cool so let's grab low cut let's low cut that as well let's bring that down attached let's size up stereo up I don't know why I've got a habit of doing that but it just for me that that works nicely and it's just got a little bit more Decay on there there you go it's a bit more natural I'm going to try a cavernous cool I'm going to grab a filter and I'm going to just high pass that all right I'm gonna hype up high pass it there we go nice so we lose that weight out of it let's dirty that up a little bit as well really cool cool so we want the crash again here and we might even reverse that crash into that so let's just double check on this crash here we're starting on the button all right let's just reverse that there we go [Music] cool so what we'll do is we'll drop the volume on this reverse one and that will then give us more of an impact then when it actually goes to the main crash [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] so let's save this right where are we uh let's go YouTube videos let's go and projects and let's call this sample packs hyphen 01 I'll probably change the name of that later and that's probably not going to correspond with what the video is called at all but there we go sweet okay well at least we're saved so let's play it from the start and let's have a little look I'm going to want another pad in here for this section here [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] nice okay so we will just grab that in particular to this section here I have it of right clicking by mistake there there we go [Applause] [Music] really nice so let's grab um an auto filter let's grab a Reverb let me know that's I'm just gonna I'm gonna grab the super harder Valhalla Valhalla super message there we go so let's grab that we've got the filter here so we're going to high pass that a little a little bit for a second let's set this up so I'm just going to put it on that preset so that you can see it take the low end up a touch [Music] lovely okay so I'm going to high pass this I'm going to have it so that it's just an atmosphere in the background let me give it a little bit dry [Music] check that out [Music] nice so it's just like something in there you know it's just a bit of atmosphere it's super cool [Music] really cool really really really cool so let's grab a sampler instrument sampler and now let's move on let's grab let's grab a pad we can play [Music] some really nice pads in there foreign [Music] let's do that let's grab um let's grab a Reverb let's grab a delay that before the Reverb it's also grab a compressor presser and let's just turn off the side chain and let's have a look we turn the volume up here and here now we're going to sort out our effects and everything so let's bring that down a touch there once again size up stereo up take the low cut and just low diffusion Network and then let's come across as ADD quite a bit of decay I went down a touch so let's have a look so nice pad so we just need to sort the shape out of it so best interpolation and snap on and then let's have a look at the amplifier envelope here so let's give it some attack uh two and a half seconds worth of attack and then release we won crazy release so we're going to try that [Music] really nice I think it's a little bit loud I think with something's kind of a little bit painful in there I don't want to distort really okay so let's try that so let's go from there yeah [Music] there we go really cool so let's now just record that applied [Music] sweet okay so we know we can take that start point up of that part there and we can come into here that's what I just played so we're going to go eight we're going to go quantize move that along [Music] [Music] really really cool so we'll give that a save and then we will just we'll start playing it from the beginning we need to decide where we're going to go from here so I think so far though it's sounding Wicked so let's grab these two noises because they worked nice going into that into that drop thank you so I know that when I copy across I'm on that button brilliant um okay cool [Music] thank you thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] nice I quite like the way this sounds almost like a drum beat as well that's cool alright so let's have a look so I'm really liking where that's where that's going so far I think it's got massive potential so we now need to think about a drop and adding maybe some some sort of pre-drop elements into this into these parts here so I don't know if we want like a filter on like a base coming in or something like that so we're just gonna have a play and see where we end up this video is going to be a long one by the looks of things [Music] nice nice right I'll grab a sampler that's a sick base [Music] right so let's have a look so I only want that first though there so let's um let's have a look I'm not worried about putting the glide on this time and some driver [Music] surprise [Music] [Music] [Music] nice cool so that we can now bring this into er19 halfway through the intro there we can now go eighth notes here and we can quantize that and let's just grab this and this and we'll extend them across but let's just Loop it over this section now [Music] thank you [Music] sir [Music] oh boy right we are we are cooking on gas here I like in this a lot um all right so let's grab a sampler okay let's just copy this one across so let's duplicate onto the next channel here and then we can just drag this out straight onto it pretty freaking cool I like that [Music] [Music] it's gonna be badass [Music] [Music] sweet okay [Music] [Music] really cool [Music] [Music] yeah there's one note thank you [Music] [Music] I don't mean to do that that's nice as well so let's grab that foreign [Music] look at this let's bring the filter down [Music] record that in [Music] um [Music] well I didn't see when I meet your Reds hanging out the side here headphones okay we can play with that [Music] it's like eights again [Music] [Music] all right so let's have a look at the noise [Music] come on so we're turning on the automation [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] okay so just out of Interest let's try pitching this about a little bit so let's go to the picture selector page let's turn on the pitch envelope let's turn on the amount we'll go it says six and we'll see what that ends up there let's have a little solo of this so it's a bit too slow okay so actually I need to bring this down a touch uh I'll just try [Music] so we're just playing with a pitch envelope on that um on that base quite like um I'm not sure about this filter now though so let's delete the Automation and let's just bring the filter up okay so we're also going to come into this part here start from here okay so I only want that first bit maybe nice okay so let's have a listen uh let's get a sun side of that [Music] yeah I'm not sure about this now but [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] okay let's have a look at these uh these races and stuff we've got a twisted one in mid-range bases unlock bases [Music] Twisted races that's what I wanted [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's it okay so let's go to this channel here let's duplicate the sampler let's put that onto another channel here let's grab this Twisted wreath sorry it's me clicking the keyboard let's make sure we're on the right channel here grab this Twisted Reese here let's put it into the sampler here we go um right so we've still got the pitch on there so let's turn that up [Music] and I also don't like the attack there [Music] move the start point on Snap that's good [Music] okay so we need to put the glide on Glide it's fine there nice okay so let's give it a play [Music] so we know the picture's right [Music] [Applause] nice okay let's record that [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so we can see what played there let's go quantize with the 18 eighths on the quantize and let's just quantize this I also know that I'm gonna have to drag this cross a touch so that these overlap I need this start point to overlap on the second note um so let's have a listen to that [Music] okay so I like it but I think it needs to do I think it needs to do something like that once again let's drag this a little bit so we go overlaps [Music] Okay so [Music] [Music] really cool so we'll save that there and what we'll do now is we will just move on now I think I think we will try and grab these let's grab these let's group them together and let's call this it's grp it's our mids group and we can now process these mids together uh but we can also now put things like a filter on all the all of the mids together excuse me um there we go so also filter we'll grab that onto the mid channel the mid to group Channel and we will just hide past that see how that sounds [Music] nice so we're going to want to process these a little bit more because we're going to want more Reverb on them and stuff but I think that's that's cool sounding so let's come to the group Jenna let's grab the fill uh the filter frequency and let's just that we're coming down on the frequency here I don't want to go all the way to the bottom there [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] all right love those little bits of like the feet repeat you know [Music] [Music] [Applause] nice okay so let's duplicate these across so this is our drop now let's grab a symbol and let's also grab the hats where are here grab that first lot of hats we should now cool so let's Loop it over that section there [Music] let's also grab this x hits there I don't want that not yet [Music] it's really nice okay so we'll just go with this for the second I think [Music] okay so we need a main drum kit now we need um a sub and we need to just sort of build these these mid range up and see if we can get like a roof going with these but so far I think we're we're sounding all right so what I am going to do is I'm going to apply from the top give that aside [Music] so let's just apply for a couple of drum kits [Music] foreign series volume four Let's Go drum Loops look [Music] there okay so just out of Interest let's grab this to here and I'm going to want to cut the drum kit up because I don't I don't work like that with regards to my drums but um let's just have a quick listen to see how that sounds with those those drums in there with the bases sorry I just wanna a touch [Music] right I think we've got our um our drum Loop so what I want to do now is just come into here and I just want to see make sure that everything is is covered by these which is I will go quantize and that will now just put a marker on each of the transients and then we will now slice to new midi track which is going to then put it into a drum drum rate for us we can get rid of this now and we get rid of this now and we can get rid of this channel and we can now just not that here we go just come here nice right we've got the same problem that we had last time but if we come to the part here if I press a key continuously loops because of the loop link here but I mean you can get some cool effects with this so if you leave the loop length up and then you go to decompress Loop compress very Matrix or Style but notice that super cool super super cool okay so we are [Music] in here it's just caught that out there so let's just have a quick look I'm going to adjust the whole kit but we'll adjust some of it just to make sure I hit so right [Music] [Music] [Music] I think [Music] oh okay so let's have a look let's see where we're at with this [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] all right let's try that [Music] okay so just out of Interest let's just try muting those ones off [Music] okay so let's grab these on here isn't it that one this one this one this one and let's move it across we can switch some of these around [Music] so these are muted off [Music] okay so we can switch that one for our hat [Music] cool so if I get rid of these ones now that's first two bars are nice [Music] I quite like the feel on that so let's [Music] process these drums a little bit [Music] okay so let's grab audio effects let's go to drive and color and let's grab the Satchel writer it's the search writer not the saturator um foreign okay so let's find the other snare so let's have a look in here we're just using the one snare here we are oh that's this is it okay so we're using the same snare throughout so let's grab this last one okay so that is slice slice 16 and let's lose these after it and then let's go to the the drum rack again and we'll go to slice 16 which is this one here that we got highlighted and we'll just grab a Reverb and we'll put this directly onto that slice 16. and once again we'll do the normal let's save this as default really um so okay so I could actually do that so you can see you guys can see how we how that works but if I get my settings roughly right here then any any of the Ableton plugins that are built in any of the stock Ableton plugins you can then grab you can set up how you want them and then right click and save as default preset and then that every time you launch it so if I go if I save as default preset but he felt pretty set for device overexistent override it yes and then if I get rid of this Reverb and I now relaunch the Reverb it's exactly as I just left it so I now don't ever have to set that up again super handy um so let's listen to see how that sounds we should have a Reverb snare at the very end here okay so it needs a lot more Reverb but [Music] still the best setting them with the default [Music] okay cool a little bit less wet I'll be getting still get the crack on the snare [Music] nice just drop the volume here it's got some more Drive [Music] back to the mixer pod for a second foreign I think that'll be a good place to go next with this so let's close up this one here so base where are we got some sub bases here some serum sub bases [Music] a bit of a waiver to it that's nice so let's grab a sampler another one um so we go instruments plant let's drag that to the space next to the drum Loop here and let's grab that sub and we can now play that across the keys and it says f on it so I'm pretty sure that's an F so I'm actually going to take that up to f so now when I play f and I play C everything's at the right pitch so let's have a look at this um sorry the next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to grab audio effects and we're going to grab a compressor and this is now going to allow us to put the side chain to the drums which are the main kit which is the last one we put in which is this one so we should now [Music] foreign [Music] so let's hit the record button [Music] see my dodgy plan now [Music] so we're going to want to go eighth notes on there and we'll just quantize that should completely mess up okay so I think I'm going to want to put one here [Music] okay so let's lose this one actually I don't know we just put it in but oh okay so let's have a look at the drums as well here so this is the second bar in the third bar sorry the third bar which is this one let's just try switching this there so that's and that's just a hat go like that and close this there you go until that keeps on there okay so I think that double up with a bass drum there [Music] dude okay foreign just to try and get this sub and this bass drum aligned and we'll try and just make some sort of thing out of there so let's turn this hats off yeah [Music] that's better so we could even grab like this little bit of reverse here [Music] [Applause] cool and then we can make that into our reverse okay let's uh it is like quite quick [Music] potential we could drop the volume on that touch and that way then it won't now interfere so much with the tune [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so let's have a look at this so we could lose maybe every other one of these thank you put that across nice foreign [Applause] [Music] let's just try something like this here lose maybe this first Kick Drum this is the intro kit nice super cool okay and let's Also let's have a little look here uh if I grab that section there and just pop that on the end here [Music] foreign [Music] really really nice and we could maybe incorporate some more of this um this Reverb drum kit you know this this intro kit we can maybe incorporate a little bit more of this into the tune here um luck fills and just trying to make it a bit just a bit more active you know there's this section where we stop the drums and we could use that for that maybe yeah so let's try it sorry [Music] and you can see how that just just makes it just a little bit more interesting [Music] right so this pad I really feel that it needs to have a little bit of attack on it and or actually what we could do rather than do that let's duplicate this channel not not do it that way it'd probably be a good call so let's just show you so if I go insert a midi clip into here and I now select this and this and then we just copied that onto the blank Channel it activates the channel so we're ready to play on the keyboard and we can now just move this onto here and we haven't got to go back and like delete all those other parts and we've now got another version of it here we can now add some attack onto that [Music] us and just to have interest because it's a new noise as it was now let's just knock it up an octave [Music] [Applause] it wasn't as Keen so let's just leave it where it is ah [Music] foreign [Music] so let's have a little look here because we might be able to incorporate this in and make this a little bit more interesting in places with this so once again let's try this revert not a reverse just like bringing the the attack in so that it doesn't happen until on the button of that bar [Music] all right nice so I think we could maybe give it a little bit more of that [Music] kind of obscure but kind of still in there you know let's have a look at this one let's grab this in and let's just put this somewhere else random okay [Music] okay so let's have that so that it falls on the snare go try up and octave my apologies are just not it's me getting excited just not the bloody microphone over right where are we the recording everything's fine I just need to cut thank you cool I want to knock it up an octave is what I wanted to do all right let's try that [Music] foreign [Music] as we want it um yeah I think we're so far we're sounding all right what's this one saying [Music] so this might work quite nicely for a section so we can grab this put it grab this and put it here maybe drag in that M part there right there again reverse though not reverse it but give it that feel [Music] right and then let's [Music] nice and we've got transitions [Music] okay so let's have a little bit of Reverb to these mids so we get them sound a little bit sweeter I don't know if you can hear the seagulls in a bloody background again it is so hot at the moment I can't have the window Glides fully um honestly I feel like a bird keeper or something anyway all right let's come back let's just start with these moves for a second [Music] I want to bring down some of that topic foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] I will specify that we don't want any pitch pen before or any pitch bend after and we'll just do that just comes let's do like well let's leave it at five in a second let's see how that sounded [Music] [Applause] [Music] perfect so that was that was super cool okay so let's have a look let's see where we're at so let's run it from the top and let's run it into that section and let's see where We've Ended up save that [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] bloody screen what we need to do here is we need to grab this melody thing because I think that could be really nice that was this channel here if I'm ready yes so I think what we could do is we could just copy this across to here for a second right and then we can take this up and I think that that might let's start from there [Music] [Applause] really really cool and then for the next section so we can leave that there for a second like we can always go back over this stuff but we can leave that there for a second we can come to here and then we can start to maybe introduce this melody into the tune grab it from me [Music] okay and let's just try this last bit here let's reverse that and see what happens [Music] [Music] oh yeah that's really cool um okay so let's move this to the second part let's copy that to there right and now let's grab these and let's just knock it down that octave minus 12. so we've knocked both of these parts now down to the original octave which was at the very beginning of the tune foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] drops lovely in there as well okay so let's have a look we can start to look at these other pads and stuff now okay so let's have a let's have a little look so I don't want it's a beginning of this section I think this is going to want to be just for like a little part in here so we might even just try that kind of stuff we can just randomly bring bits in and pieces thank you nice [Music] foreign [Applause] so this is now where I would now start to introduce this intro again because then we can then break down into a into like a Paddy sort of Style part so let's have a look um and let's Also let's grab a ride let's grab some rides in here that might be quite interesting uh rides are a Shaker so let's come back to these sample packs let's have a look go here so let's lose that let's drums perk loops oh hey these are lovely you can switch double series for by the way [Music] these are really nice okay all right so let's just try that number one there um let's come down to the bottom here where is the where's our drum Loop a square drum Loop and let's add in an audio Channel and then we'll grab this obviously yeah we need to just double check on the I'm in 140 BPM it's all sorted uh I just want to check on the volume on it but let's try doing that let's come to this page and let's drop the volume [Music] thank you so that's got massive potential so let's go to the sub quickly and let's just copy that um there we go probably that side chain onto those hats there yeah fashion I think [Music] foreign [Music] a bit closer than that thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] I love it that's cool foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] look here now so we can now grab let's grab this and let's just come to five so this is our section just before the drop happens um do we want to grab that so yeah let's just copy that bring that across to here grab the right Channel leave it on the right Channel okay let's run it then into there sorry let's first of all let's grab some drums all right let's grab the percussion I've got here so I basically just grab all of this again I will keep that in full keep that so if I grab from here go and we can just overwrite this section now here [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] so I think I think we've done it right there I think that we could possibly call that a day I um I think that that's something that would you can now just basically take it to the second drop I would I mean with the breakdown I would just grab this first part here like the very very beginning of the intro I would drag this across I would copy that yeah and then you've got your breakdown [Music] possibly I would do something like that uh sorry not that one this one the merely line I'd possibly have the melee line fading out so we could then it's going to go more minimal for that second part there [Music] [Music] nice so we could then just lose these uh possibly there let's check that [Music] there you go and then you've got your second drop let's just do a second real quickly let's let's go yeah it's just going to be a real minimal second drop all right so let's Loop it over there let's grab that whole section why have we actually got it previous [Music] all right am I in the right place with the bars here oh Z 99 Hello Maybe all right let's grab all right that's the problem uh want to be there [Music] cool that's what stuffed me up a minute ago [Music] so we want to go completely minimal with this now so lose the melody completely there we go we could always keep a little part in there for that um [Music] okay yep so we'll laugh that off we don't want that either foreign the occasional sort of obscure a bit like this that's cool um I don't want like craziness okay so what we also want to do here is I need to add like a ride or some sort of some sort of Shaker in maybe or something like that it's there so let's Loop it over there [Music] all right [Music] [Applause] [Music] Okay so we've got another noise to add in here so let's come down to the bottom here [Music] so let's volume on that [Music] and let's come back to here now let's have a look so we could now put this maybe in here [Music] [Music] let's try reversing it for that section [Music] [Music] cool so we could then adjust these bases a little bit [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] okay so let's have a look Barry Brown's hunting in [Music] okay so let's try that there [Music] cool okay so that's got potential so let's try joining them up [Music] okay so let's also just try just go in there for a second okay so we're going to adjust that sub all right let's come back to the [Music] sorry [Music] Okay so offbeat halfway through the butt on the snare basically and before okay so so let's come back up here so that is right there and then [Music] [Music] sorry I'll put that back that wants to be there this wants to go to here yeah nice okay so let's just have that so that it's eight [Music] okay so we're just switching it up a little bit here so this is cool so let's now bring the end of this in all that is fine and we could do the same for this sub get rid of that one grab this so let's duplicate that duplicate that foreign [Music] Wicked so we could add like some sort of crazy sort of pitch thing in there so let's grab um let's have a little look let's duplicate this channel so let's add a midi Channel midi tracking and let's come back to the previous one let's click on that and let's grab this I've got no effects on this or anything um Okay so we've now just got this let's move this along [Music] [Music] there we go that's the second drop [Music] cool okay so let's have a play with that okay so it's kind of it's kind of getting there so let's go oh yep that's good font size let's also deselect the very last one and then just drag these out they all just slightly overlapping cool so that last hit Let's Lose That one there move that back to there and this last hit wants to be like another hit so what have we got here foreign [Music] but that's the right place um so let's have a look at this nice that's super cool okay so what I want to do here all right so let's grab go from but if I grab all of this second duplicate that over [Music] foreign [Music] nice so we just need to now basically copy these notes [Music] copy and we'll go to the sub here if you want it I need to just check on this sub paint right let's turn the Glide up on the glide on on the on the sub so that way now we'll follow these notes exactly um and I need to work out where these start so this is starting from halfway through plus I know wrong way so halfway through plus and eighth yeah so if I just put that there Ctrl V and here sweet and now we can now put these on the right pages but this is going to be there we go [Music] there we go [Music] okay and then that's just uh that's a duplicate there so let's grab from here down to here we could have the symbol again there we go [Music] thank you [Music] okay so we'll duplicate that we are getting really long on this video it's coming up for two hours um so if I duplicate that so we've got that basically running twice over that brings us to three minutes 40 then we can then come back to like this section here before so let's do that let's grab that let's grab this back to here so we're now literally just arranging so we're at 410 now so we can now um come back to the previous sort of sections here what's this section thank you this one okay so I still think that we want this melody sort of style noise in there quicker yeah so we're now looking at just under 440 so we can start to break it down now [Music] [Applause] really really really cool okay so let's have a look so I want to basically um let's just listen to the whole thing let's turn the loop off let's give it a save and let's listen [Music] I Turn My Headphones Up foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah that's really cool thank you yeah that's that's all working lovely [Music] not sure about it always but it doesn't matter [Music] thank you [Music] nice [Music] thank you [Music] yeah that trash is lovely foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] so for that now I would literally just I would uh where's the Melody I would grab the melody but I would now just duplicate the Melody I mean we could probably add some more drums in and stuff if we wanted to for that last couple of minutes the last couple of seconds sorry but um for the sake of this I'm not massively worried let's have a look here let's see if we can in fact let's not grab that let's just grab the intro again you're the best bet so let's uh one of those back to you here we go 30 seconds worth which is totally fine duplicate these panel [Music] now just drop that there [Music] thank you fresh and there we've got five minute tune [Music] you better save [Music] there we go and on that delay a little bit of a cop-out outro but it doesn't matter you've got the idea you know the whole tune is basically there so there we go I hope that has been helpful as always um I hope you've enjoyed that I know it was an extra long video and I don't know whether that's a good thing or not a good thing you have to let me know in the comments if you got bored I apologize you know it was um I just thought I would just work on a tune um we've only used sounds from my sample series uh whether that be one two three or four um so yeah definitely go check them out uh they're on my bandcamp there's also members get a 20 discount on my on my website so definitely go check out the membership section and um yeah definitely I hope that's been insightful and helpful I hope you've learned a bit from there um if you've got the if you've got the pads and stuff if you've got the packs the snapbacks so yeah anyway all good big up much love and I will catch you in the next one thank you foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign foreign
