@@PachekoJr yes 🙌

@@PachekoJr I would practice the different syllable speeds with the metronome, on and off the beat. So…. Tu =1 , tuka= 2, tukata=3, tukatuka=4, tukatukata= 5, tukatatukata= 6.

If you practice these speeds ( tuplets/triplets) on and off the beat, you will be able to do any rhythm. This is the exercise I learned from an Indian drumming class at Cal Arts. The percussion teacher taught us this exercises. The tricky one is doing triplets / 3 speed off the beat ( in between the beats of a metronome)

@@GustavoAdolfoUribe ok I'll try it ,but I thought it would be more deep😭 like actually drills to practice daily

@@PachekoJr yeah it sounds simple, but the tuka and tukata are the building blocks of rhythm. Rhythm can be broken down by 2s and 3s. A good challenge would be to analyze your favorite rap verse and break it down by the syllables. Try to find the patterns and cadence points. Then try to do it slow with metronome, and speed it up gradually. You should be able to rap the same verse to any type beat. If you can do that, you should be good 👍

@@GustavoAdolfoUribe thank coach🫡🫡

Hey thanks for watching my videos! I have a bunch of videos on my channel about rapping. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqPJd39shdOKo7csi=QMiTwx5pl95RqWH5

I recommend changing the rhythm pattern every 4 bars. There is cadence method that basically you try to land on the main rhyme. I have more videos about rapping. Thanks 🙏

Yes I have lots of videos about rapping and writing lyrics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXjbgWhjhJl6nq8si=G9p7WJypt0CGi3kV

Mostly about rhythms, like over drill beats

@@PachekoJr yes bro! What are your questions? If it’s rhythm stuff I will recommend you think of Tu-ka and tu-ka-ta syllables. This is 2 and 3, you can break any rhythm in 2 and 3. Any rapper you like or rhythm your trying to do you break it down into syllables to decode the structure. Then you use the rhythm motif to build a more complex structure ( cadence) . You switch it up every 4 bars to make it interesting. Then 16 bars you have a rap verse.

@@PachekoJr if there is something specific, I’ll make another video. Im not that good at freestyling, but I know how to write a song really fast because I focus on the structure. Hope that helps, good luck bro and thank you

@@GustavoAdolfoUribe ok thank you, so over the four beats, like beat one I can use 4 speed, beat 2 I can use three speed etc

@@PachekoJr yes, you can set up patterns and play with the listeners expectations. So for example you set you can do two of the same rhythm patterns and then do a slight variation on the 3rd pattern. Then switch the main pattern your using every 4 bars.

thank you! I put a lot of effort into this set up, so your comment means a lot 😃🍻

thanks ! I moved to Georgia and I'm getting my new set up ready. I'll be posting new stuff soon

broooo.... good quality microphones, good musical performance, good recording set up, less eq and processing in post. Bruce also doesn't like using compression. If I use it its really light on the vocals because I run it through an summing/mastering analog set up and it records back into my pc.

@@GustavoAdolfoUribe I appreciate it, man! I CANNOT STAND compression and avoid it whenever necessary. But... I find it kind of impossible to avoid compression on vocals simply because the levels vary soo much. I find compression kind of necessary on vocals and bass -How much gain reduction are you usually going for on your vocals?? Typically, I am SMASHING my vocals tracks -It's the only way I've figured out how to make them sit right. -20db gain reduction for me is not uncommon on vocals at all. SOMETIMES, I'll even need a limiter to really get them up there sitting where I want in the mix!! I can't even IMAGINE going in and automating every little vocal thing. OMG -That would be an absolute nightmare... I smash my bass, too...

Hey thanks for watching. I’ve been getting into summing mixing and the track goes through a pre amp and modded tube compressor. I just finished an album that is the best sounding mixes I’ve made so far. From my experience this combines the best of both worlds. The analog gives it a punch and 3D clarity that can not be replicated in digital plug ins. It’s analog polish on the final mix. Also the music recorded in the 70 80 90s are my favorite sounding recordings because they have that analog punch and clarity. To me the modern recordings sound pretty flat so I guess it depends on listener

​@@GustavoAdolfoUribe If you and you can't replicate it does not mean it cannot be replicated. There are hundreds of engineers out there who do it daily. Some manually, with base plugins, some with actual modeling plugins. This debate is very similar to DSLR cameras and mirrorless. There are certain places where DSLR just does things naturally but you have to put in the work on other places where the mirrorless just comes naturally. So is with sound. You have to put in way more effort in sound treatment in digital than with analog, conversely editing, routing is easier and the noise floor is completely eliminated. Since you are talking about punch, lets take for example a kickdrum. The transient of a kick is usually significantly louder than the rest and it has a DC offset. If you put that through a hardware limiter or a drum compressor that massive offset peak will induce an invariable distortion, gets decapitated. The introduced frequencies from that analog distortion is completely different than, you find in the vast majority of dynamic processors in the box. Most daw users just slap on a limiter and maybe an EQ and call it a day. The people who know what they are doing tame that peak in exactly the the way they want it before doing anything else with the rest of the kick. Analog gear creates accidental character, digital does not, but it can create exactly the character you are looking for.

@@szeredaiakos agree to disagree bro. I know that analog adds accidental character and I completely understand the concepts you are referring to. But honestly, if you could completely replicate the sound of analog gear then companies would stop making analog gear and people would stop buying it. You can get very close to replicating analog sound even those emulating plugings (which I have), but it is not the exactly the same. The analog gear has a punch and dimension that sounds musical. It has a special resonance and character to it. I've added analog gear to my mastering chain because I cannot replicate the analog sound by digital means. I've been to professional recording studios and tested out their analog gear. Trust me I've tried to get the analog sound via digital, but it is not possible. Seriously how many records have you produced with analog gear and without? Because I can say from my experience, even when I bounced my mixes digitally and went to professional mastering houses in LA, they ran it through analog gear. It always sounds better to me when you use real analog gear.

@@GustavoAdolfoUribe Well, mostly agree. I am completely agree with the fact that you can't 100% reproduce the sound of analog gear. Personally I think that the EQP and EQM from Pultec are both infused with the blood of Satan and no mortal can get quite close to it. My point being, some not, but the vast majority of the gear out there is just simply obsolete. Prime example summing devices as mixing a tools. Don't get me wrong, they are priceless when you have to mix together 20 mics from an orchestra for monitoring purposes but c'mon. Snake oil is snake oil. There are companies out there who smash together a couple of wires in a box for $20 and selling it for 3000. I've been on and off since the late '90s. Mostly small and home studios. What I learned that on the digital process that character, which you do it with the gear and I do it in the box, can be very much part of the artistic expression. And also agree that most fully digital productions lack that extra artistic dimension. So at the end, that is what truly matters provided it does come out the speakers of the listener. If it is not present on the speakers, it's worthless. You can't sell way too obscure nuances and you can definitely not sell your religious love for analog. Further, selling your confirmation bias is downright unethical. You can pragmatically test all that so you may focus on what really matters. That does not mean you can't keep your religion, but you should not sell it based on inaccuracies. The statement that analog sounds better, is objectively false as long as there is 1 single person who does not like it. It is somewhat related to vinyl. It is by far the worst medium we have access to in terms of reproduction accuracy. There are people who swear that it produces frequencies well beyond and below human hearing for "accurate representation of sound". Despite those frequencies where cut out long before they ever got to the cutting table, also despite being a physical impossibility. It is very much like religion. But also like religion, for many of those pure of heart, it makes them love music even more. Which is a very good thing. If it's there and represents you, and most importantly, if it is real, don't stop doing it. But understanding it can help allot. It can shed your dependence on those overpriced bundles of wire in a box and opens up your relationship directly to the music.

thanks so much bro! 🍻 I really appreciate that!

hi thanks for watching! I made a video a while that might help called, rap on any beat. If you your lyrics and cadence is solid, you could potentially use it on any beat. 2pac used the same verses on some of his songs. The only thing is that you may have a to cut or add a few syllables if the beat is really different in tempo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKbcloR9fZWZeNE

thank you sir !

Thanks! Yea Bruce is the best 🍻

Hey thanks for watching! I’ve been busy with work and new music. Lemme know if u got any ideas for more videos

What the hell thanks for pointing that out. I just saw the video lol I didn’t know

That's what he said, LESS IS MORE

Hey thanks for the feedback! I think if some one is starting out they should do demo tracks on a shure 58 or rode nt1. Then they can go to a recording studio for like $30-60 an hour and then they will probably have a nuemann 102 103 to track with for the pro version. I gotta say though with cheap condenser mics they can sound harsh on the end. But with a decent pre amp it can help make the mic sound fuller. Thanks for watching, I got some more videos in the works
