A Simple Rhythmic Trick For Instant Groove

[@gavinpayne6816]

This is definitely one of those moments where you should just dance and vibe out the rythm. Remember, you are as capable of developing your feel of music as you are studying it.

[@GoingOrbit]

Vibe like a cricket.

[@mystikrebel1089]

just the cure i needed for a problem im stuck in

[@krusher74]

the problem you have is no originality , now you just copying everybody else and sounding the same.

[@BodyOfPlayMusic]

Rhythm is a principle!!

[@jebronlames4600]

Where can I find your music?

[@mattalwayslearning2184]

I wish nearly every day that I had studied music.

[@Danhan12341]

What’s stopping you now tho?

[@AAARREUUUGHHHH]

@@Danhan12341 It's not that nothings stopping you, it's that I wish I learned this stuff years ago so I can focus on creating now, not learning theory. I balance my learning out, I can't just focus on theory as I lose focus.

[@hercin86]

Music is not about studying it should come from inside. Of course you can benefit from music theory and videos like this but depending full on those gets you nowhere when creating stuff. Those guys on youtube know their technical stuff very well yet they are just youtubers not artists (most of them).

@@hercin86 oh it certainly gets you somewhere, like, to a place where you have a groove, harmony, melodies.. It gets you to a place where you can have an idea in your head and you can lay it down on a keyboard/guitar/piano roll etc. It certainly is not everything you need. And ofc you can just monkey see monkey do, but understanding is like having the fishing rod, not the fish.

[@fisheatsyourhead]

@@hercin86 they're different skills but both require practice and studying. Learning to write music in ableton live isn't too dissimilar to the process of learning an instrument requiring knowledge of theory and experience to be able to create your own music. Teaching someone a skill by demonstrating it can help people learn, many of the greatest musicians have imitated others before finding their own way.

This is legit the best shorts channel.

[@sdotyes]

I was thinking the same. A bunch of knowledge tips snd tricks for us the producers

[@bolillo5013]

Yep

[@JustToad27]

you could say that about any shorts channel because its an opinion.🤓🤓🤓

[@R8ISH]

Too kind, thanks! 🥳

[@sam_music555]

i want this track to be released. I love the vocal chop

[@GoingOrbit]

To the point and full of useful details. 5 stars!

[@PanicCityMusic]

Straight gem 💎 thanks yall

[@tubeo94]

On point! Emphasis on keeping the beat so it creates syncopation, otherwise it just a 1.5 time slow down beat.

[@nagarajansubramani]

How'd you do that syncopation search term thingie..?

[@_TheNoobPlayer]

​@@nagarajansubramaniWhat do you mean?

[@nagarajansubramani]

​@@_TheNoobPlayer I don't see it now anymore, but at the time of my comment, tubeo94's comment had the word like this 'syncopation 🔍' with the magnifying glass icon and it was clickable! I'm not sure if tubeo94 did something specific to format it that way, or if it was some KZbin experimental feature.

[@DSWL_]

hell yeah that sounds pretty dope

[@lurkwave]

how come you havent posted my music yet :(

[@Usageee]

I was stuck working on a song and this gave me instant idea, thanks!

[@Cableguys]

Glad I could help!

[@rick49]

This is great! Thanks

[@alicer3271]

We need full video for this!

[@MalcomTidus]

Wow. Just those couple of steps sound banger

[@wesprog9809]

This tip came just in time

[@jaixiviii]

Same, Thank you!

[@joshuaahn8182]

you're a legend, genius posts, well highest quality and genuine value

[@USERNAME-je3lr]

Producers discovering polyrhythms Jokes aside, a 3:4 is great to play around with. I use it in grooves all the time, being a prog drummer, and it always sounds really cool. Thanks for telling people about this

[@SlimHarbor95375]

where the polyrhythms?

[@neon4635]

What is 3/4 here? It's just syncopation

[@atagen2186]

it could be read as a two bar 3:4 polymeter ig (as opposed to polyrhythm which doesn't reset)

[@NBrixH]

@@neon4635It’s not 3/4, it’s 3:4. Two different things.

[@XnecromungerX]

I have specifically noted this in music for years and i always love it. Its amazing to random;y see a video on it.

[@Firefoxes85]

Most helpful video I’ve ever seen!!!! 😊

[@Cableguys]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FeralWorker]

Cool. It's really familiar sounding. a convention, maybe cliche.

[@lettuce01]

really feeling the Polo&Pan vibes here

[@Scotty_Russell_Music]

I did that "simple jungle sub" tutorial last night. The one with 2 sine waves and one whacked up 29 semitones. I have made similar patches before but you really nailed that particular timbre. Good lad, Liked and SUBBED!

[@trevorjones7897]

The boonta boonta beat strikes again

[@swaglad1957]

amazing tutorials. love you guys

[@ibrahimdelomavicsmithson164]

Burial on molly

[@Theonly_Onyx]

It's almost embarrassing being able to do all of this for years now, but I can't explain it. As a long time music, I am finally looking into music theory.

[@adam632]

Thank you for providing awesome production tips👍🤝

[@bend3rbot]

Dotted 8ths with syncopated call and response is why I love O/Y (german dude) music

[@bend3rbot]

O/Y is my GOD!!!

[@djscottyb_texas]

Its a rarity for me to write ANY song that doesnt use Shaperbox. Cableguys tools are invaluable.

[@arosko]

Halftime and kickstart (especially kickstart 2) are also such powerful tools and they’re both so cheap 😮

[@jaguarcosmos1583]

Wow 🤯 now I wish I knew how to do this. This 6 second beat alone sounds so professional!

[@jonnyalec5646]

Mf he literally JUST told you how to do it 😂😂

[@frozenlime]

My left ear appreciates your voice

[@KanonoPuddle]

Every video of yours I get recommended gets simpler and simpler. I fuck with it, it’s just funny.

[@RLxDRMpG]

A really cool rhythmic grouping which also has a good bop to it is 1e a For context a full grouping of sixteenth notes would be 1e+a so just omit the + and you'll be bopping

[@12371eric]

Love your channel

Awesome t-shirt 🙌🏻

[@LifeLess1999]

you got some good tips brotha!!! Been workin on this for years and you always got something new I may have overlooked!

[@Cableguys]

Thanks, stay creative! ❤️

[@marktombling8433]

Right loads of practice to get my head round it . Good to know and projects to work on ❤

[@letizialorusso1950]

The drums reminded me of Single Soon

[@daynemin]

try 1/16note triplet ghost notes too for that boombap :)

[@Cableguys]

You got it! Triplet vid coming soon :)

Dude, sometimes teachers just click with you. Instant sub. Stoked to learn more

[@ikwenmusic]

You could have made this video two seconds long if you just said “3:4 polyrhythm” but i like how you explained it and gave several examples.

[@elijahren]

It is not a 3:4 polyrhythm because there were no triplets being used.

[@habiboi_]

@@elijahren ?

[@elijahren]

@@habiboi_ The 3 in 3:4 polyrhythm stands for triplets, while the 4 stands for 16th notes. Since there were no triplets being used here, it is not a 3:4 polyrhythm. Instead, what was being used here are called "dotted eighth notes."

[@habiboi_]

​@@elijahren incorrect. the 3 in polyrhythm stands for "3" and 4 stands for "4." It is simply a ratio, and as is visible here, 3 quarter notes and 4 dotted eighth notes "sum" to the same value... contrasting rhythms. Many 3:4 polyrhythms encountered include triplets, but what truly matters is the ratio 3:4. you can probably argue a more strict defintion, but I feel that most musicians would simply call this a 3:4 polyrhythm as far as I know...

[@habiboi_]

but either way, it's a great video 😁

[@duboko3807]

Magnifique ❤

[@mikaelschulin4315]

Awesome!

[@unit333angel]

this is so cool

[@SebastianSandovalCastro]

Loved it

[@baconlettucepotato69]

A good way to make 4/4 sound really funky is by dividing the four quarter notes into sixteen sixteenth notes, and putting emphasis on beats 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13. Each pattern is three sixteenth notes long except for the last one, which is a full quarter note. Or, better notated as 16/16, subdivided into 3+3+3+3+4/16. I go into more detail on this in my latest video about two thirds of the way through. You can check it out if you want, but I don't mean to advertise, so you don't have to if you don't want to.

[@Kenoi_]

Damn I just learned something

[@gregcruz6517]

A trick I've been doing for years is using sidechaining against the drums for syncopation and pop, sometimes fills it in automatically but truly it just occupies the empty space

[@zachary963]

I’m a guitarist first and a producer second, and I always recommend to people to learn guitar. Why? Because so many “production hacks” are borrowed from the guitar world. For instance, the guitarist The Edge from the rock band U2 really made dotted-eighth delays famous. My personal favorite example of his use of them is in the song Bad, from the album The Unforgettable Fire. Using choppy LFOs to get rhythm also (I believe) comes from the guitar world. A lot of old guitar amps (from the 50’s and 60’s) had built-in choppy LFOs and people used those all the time. (Specifically, some Fender amps had that effect on-board, although for some reason they called it “vibrato”.)!

[@ProjectHMF]

Been doing this for a while and its great advice 👌

[@СергейКа-н7щ]

Man, dats amazin!

[@combatrock]

Sylvan Esso's Uncantena is awash in these techniques, and its an amazing song

[@musomuzo]

this was actually really useful thanks!

[@muscovado09]

That was an ear candy 🤤🤤

absolutely trying the chopped pad trick

So sick

[@spamfriendly6489]

Bravo !!!

[@benjiarias9599]

so good!

[@automaton111]

More funk tips plz ❤

[@loganp82]

this is where the term rock n roll came from. you rock back and forth from the quarter notes and the song rolls forward with the dotted eighth notes.

[@carlysleescalante6606]

Love this🔥

[@juandelatorre4517]

what a groove man

[@draviswubs]

I do this with hardware though. Still works!

[@actuallyasriel]

Congrats, trance artists, there's your whole career.

[@mongjja2654]

When i first heard the pattern i instantly thought of the music 'Resonance' by Home.

[@SimonAlander]

Really good beat
