Alchemist Beats Explained

[@keejay12]

The Alchemist been in the game since the 90s and still performing at a high consistent level. This guy is a beast

[@DAM_CC]

GOAT 🎉

[@deadstxrr]

We love uncle Al

[@bobjimbobjim9006]

Bro went on the best run of his career in his later stages imo as well. 2016 to present day. Goat shit

[@keejay12]

@@bobjimbobjim9006 yeah he's going off with all of these albums fully produced by him. Earl Sweatshirt, Boldy James, Larry June (that album is one of my favorites), etc

[@bobjimbobjim9006]

@@keejay12 he’s worked with everyone from drake to Freddie gibbs to earl if he died today he would be held in the same respects as j dilla

WOOO - 🤓

@@NavieDyea right!🥱

[@oleg_samples]

The orbit concept is a very good one my friend. Thinking about samples as textures is a good tip... that's why I think producers can benefit from sampling punk, new wave and experimental music - the sounds are already interesting to listen 😎👍🏼

[@NavieD]

Great point. I always encourage producers try and sample different genres

[@mp303sp]

i love your channel bro

[@imperfectcanvas]

Bro, I laughed so hard when you said you had to close the sun video out of fear. I had that exact experience when I saw it the first time. I don’t need to know everything lol.

[@JulianWyllie]

Now I gotta go back and relisten to all the recent Alchemist projects to see how many have this "sun/orbit" concept. Great video!

[@NavieD]

Nothing better than listening to some ALC beats

[@ibrahimovicjunior5443]

@@NavieD not meet the grahams!

[@PatFussy96]

Tana talk 3 from Benny the Butcher has great examples in Goodnight, Broken Bottles, and Rubber Bands & Weight. Boldly James works with Alc frequently and they have a lot more examples of this in Flight Risk, Speed Demon Freestyle, and Belvedere. Plenty more, just keeping it short.

[@chefnick5789]

Would love to see Overexplained for Conductor

[@vardenofficial]

Yeeees. I need it

[@crookedfingaz1]

Navie we have a problem

[@crushsatan]

That beat was fire.

[@awezometomm]

I clicked immediately, overexplained is 👨‍🍳👌mwaa

[@NavieD]

More are on their way

[@KeyZz_Y]

I would like to see more Curren$y, Larry June type Alchemist

[@BetaSimpDestroyer4LallWs]

Same concept just a different sample being worked with

[@resp0nse_beats]

Changing the frequency of the repeating sample also helps keep the beat sounding fresh and less repetitive. 👌

[@chosenonebeats]

The stem downloads are a master stroke my good sir 🧐

[@JasperPino]

Don't know what to comment, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate this style of video please keep doing them 🙏

[@Dubbudha]

Subtractive arrangement is a great method if you work with a sampler like an mpc and a daw. You can use a single sequence where you stack all your elements. After bouncing the different tracks you can import them into your daw and extend it to the length of your beat. Now you just need to delete different tracks and add some automations..et voilà

[@DaveChips]

Im changing religion now... u are my God... I was raving about alchemist is past few weeks... you couldnt be any better with the timing! Thank you! :D

[@gunsmokecologne]

The Clout Dracula instrumental Alchemist conjured is probably my favourite piece. That one literally encompasses all elements you mentioned plus some reversed sample work. Also the infrequent use of 808. P.S. DOPE BEAT!

[@tuheiwa]

The best beat making instructor on youtube right now I love all your tutorials

[@jimroberts3504]

Alchemist has 30+ years in the game.

[@kungfukennywenny]

My fav alchemist beat is Louder by Big NOYD

[@SongwriterPorshia]

“I became deeply terrified” no lie, that’s pretty effing scary that we’re traveling through space. What if we collided with something 🤯

[@9ojira]

Happens all the time, comets meteors, asteroids

[@PagalheoQuartoRecords]

ALC uses a MPC 2500. Samples from vinil and use tecs on crates wile sampling. No one will get that sound on FL or any computer.

I feel kinda cool knowing i inadvertently had been doing the orbit concept in my beats

[@4kvisionsfilms263]

Great video great explanation thanks man

[@Betbettington54]

This pretty much describes my SP-404 workflow. Cook up an almost cluttered 8bar loop then strip it down for arrangement. Btw your demo track was ill. Keep up the good work homie 👍

[@jgonzales6429]

Good stuff !!

very informative channel great stuff

Yh this gone be me 👑❌🧢, shouts out to my uncle aswell 💯

[@alfredschnozzenstein1657]

Guys, I apologize if this is a stupid question, but, when it comes to your drums, it's not 'wrong' if it doesn't 'snap" to the grid? As in, be on time? Could I possibly make a drum loop slightly off grid, kinda like without the timing? It's kinda hard to describe, but when you quantize (I hope I'm saying it correctly), everything snaps on the grid and it's on time, but I've seen some videos where producers say it's a secret that not a lot of producers know about, or aren't able to do, when it's not on time, it makes the drums sound more organic, instead of like a robot. lol

[@Bladebeats_369]

drumless next ...nicholas craven?

[@anteupbeats]

When you do this and had no idea what it was called. Just found it out myself.

[@djsunnysideup23]

ya. i am guilty of doing too much. Alchemist helps us all realize simple is best.

[@phillipdrummond]

@navied you mentioned that 808 were used in many old Wu-Tang beats and I’m wondering aside from “baby I got your money,” which has a clear 808 at the beginning, which Wu-Tang tracks have an 808 layered? I usually think of hi tek layering an 808 on his kick drum, which I read about years ago.

[@cooldude87ish]

paaji kya aap thoda aur indian music pe videos bana sakte hai kya? An interesting idea maybe sampling RD Burman for a knxwledge or a madlib type flip - would love more analysis about the fusion of Punjabi percussion in a trap or boom bap pattern. Much love from New Delhi
