Thanks for your support man. I actually looked into hiring the guy who did the Riddim pack for me in Kontakt but he didn’t get back to me in time. I still will probably do the “all in one” in a Kontakt 5 or 6 file in the future. Appreciate your kind words bro

You could drop them into GB but it wouldn’t be very efficient. Better to load them straight into Logic where you can play them on the keyboard straightaway

Yes They’re wavs so you can use them on MPC but you’ll have to set it up

I’m not on taking clients. All the best

Thanks. Just the built in FireWire conversion from my Midas Venice F32 (can’t upgrade my Mac)

Are the sounds you used available in your sound pack?

Yes brother, all of the sounds you hear in this video are from Kahn’s Riddim Pack (piano organ guitar) and the One Drop Sample Pack (drums)

That’s amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this story and please tell him I say hello and thank you for his support of watching my videos!

Thanks bro! I used the Waves J37 tape plug-in as a delay

The quick answer to this is “yes” but with an asterisk. Basically the hi hat is what dictates the overall amount of swing. Typically the bubble organ (if there is one) should match this quite closely, and if there is a “chicka” guitar the “a” part should also match the hi hat. But here’s where the asterisk comes in. The groove/swing doesn’t necessarily have to match perfectly. It should sound human, so not exactly aligned to that swing # in the DAW, but near it, as to sound more realistic. I’ve also heard some songs that have different elements, some swung a lot more than others. I’ve even heard songs that are rather straight but with the horn lines super swung. The thing about this is, most of those musicians back in the day in JA were just playing off feel. Feeling is what’s needed here, and it’s hard to completely describe. I think by you just asking this question, you are further into the understanding than someone who doesn’t care enough to raise it. Experiementation is what’s needed, as well as studying some of those old songs from JA. Cheers man and thanks for stopping by!

@@DMKahn Thanks a lot for your time spent to reply to my question and for the quality of your answer! Yes I am trying to find the right feel in a couple of bars within a few tracks , keeping it simple in order to understand how it works. I am not a player therefore I have to spend a lot of time on the pianoroll of my DAW. Cheers!

If you buy the Riddim Pack, it comes with a sampler already set up in Logic, Ableton, and Kontakt Full. You just load up the session/ sampler that comes with pack and it is already mapped to the keyboard. I have another video that shows the pack in more depth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHK2d5mmbJySndUsi=B9lbYDmNj2hOGRNU

@@DMKahn ok , i have ableton but no "suite "

Reminds me of Youths Dem Cold by Richie Spice.

@@drelambo2934 straight up groovy

Gracias por tu apoyo hermano 🙏

Are you in Logic? If so just open the logic file for a single instrument, it should play fine on your keyboard right away. then do a “save as” and save it into your libraries. Do that for all 3 instruments, then you can open up a new file and load any of the 3 sampler instruments

Hey bro! With the click for sure because my internal sense of timing isn’t that great.

@@DMKahn Nothing wrong with a clicker! Relatedly, recognise the piano and guitar chops in this? The mix could be tighter (bass a bit too heavy) but for a debut... kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2G4aqeFZqeAgdE

Thanks man 🙏

Thanks bro! I’m using Logic X. The sample packs work in Ableton too

Happy to do it man, thanks for stopping by

The Legacy pack ($35, I used to sell it for $50) has the rockers snares in it. I plan on sampling my latest rubadub kit next.

Hey bro I’m planning on just keeping this specifically for the video, not looking for vocals at this time. Appreciate your comment and checking out the video though man! cheers

​​​@@DMKahnI'd love to do a collaboration with you one day, your tracks are always tight. I've already written all the lyrics for this. I'll record it anyway and pop you a link somewhere or another 😊😊

Oh yeah... and Happy Birthday! It's my birthday too!! Yet more we have in common!

Same question and happy birthday too

Hi brother, the one drop sample pack works in Logic and Ableton. The Riddim Pack works in Logic, Ableton, and full Kontakt. The Riddim pack is the one that has all the functionality with round robins and dual articulations, therefore I thought it best to make it usable in Kontakt. Note in order to make any sample pack to be able to be used in “free Kontakt”, it requires a licence from Native Instruments and is tens of thousands of dollars, so I had to make it for full Kontakt. I hope this is acceptable to most people as it’s about as good as I could do given I am not a plug-in developer. Cheers!!

@@DMKahn - I already own the Riddim Pack and I own the full version of Kontakt. If you haven't done so already, why not build the One Drop Drum Samples into a Kontakt instrument that matches whatever mapping you have in whatever instrument version of the drums you were using in this video? Why leave out so many people with different DAWs? Most people have a paid version of Kontakt. If not, they should. Just please avoid Kontakt 7 or I still cannot use it. I own Kontakt 7, but it won't run on my OS. I suggest building in Kontakt 5 or mid-v6 so that everyone with Kontakt can easily use it. Thanks!

@@DMKahn Thats a bummer that they do it like that, I suppose you;ve looked into creating your own VSTs... I don't even knoiw what's involved in that but it would circumvent the Kontact ransom.

Thanks bro, you’re definitely right, Family Man did play a lot of his songs like that sometimes even using his thumb. For this video I was going for a tone with more mid range, in order that could be easy to hear on a cell phone.

The cherry on top!!

@@DMKahn Yeeeessssa!!🙌🏾
