Classic Jungle Pads From Scratch (Source Direct Pt.6)

[@supahfly_uk]

Honestly watching your videos made me realise what it is I appreciate about Jungle, Bukem always sounded magical.

[@groovining]

Thanks so much mate! Bukem was incredible, I would have loved for a change to see him and Conrad live in the glory days! My favourite kind of DnB, pure energy and vibes :)

[@okokayy]

i love logical progressions and everything him and conrad touched back in the day.

[@1birdwatcherr]

yeah hes great but hes not dead lmfaooo@@groovining

[@windowbreezes]

That Pad he's making here actually sounds more like Artemis.

[@YOBAMUSTDIE]

Omni Trio was way more magical🎉

[@Reeceline]

WTF how have I stumbled upon a video series on Source Direct...? This is the right side of the internet (and YT). Thanks for putting this together. I guess ill have to go back asnd start from PT1 now!

[@groovining]

Haha welcome to my channel :) Here we lurk in the merky waters of KZbin. Enjoy the series - Source Direct were killer artists! ✌️:)

[@unknown_character_music]

Only tutorial I’ve found on this that actually sounds authentic, amazing work.

[@groovining]

Thanks mate! This one is also great - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnLGmWSHZa6imsU

[@mufcmusic8514]

The Fact that he shows you in depth so you can go create is the kinda stuff others hold back on.

[@TheMrb777]

This actually was a much more in depth sound design tutorial than I was expecting but it’s all explained in a way that’s easy to follow. Great stuff!

[@groovining]

A lot of the pads people use in their tunes are probably simpler than these to make but I think its good to go a bit deeper and show what you can experiment with also. :) ✌️

[@outerhaven6929]

Fantastic….a true masterclass for that lush 90’s jungle vibe!

[@groovining]

Cheers mate! Love the revival of 90s jungle that happening at the moment! ✌️🥷

[@dadtier564]

MY man... Seriously EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!! I kept running into trouble finding those sounds of ethereal pads without buying sample packs.... absolutely pivotal!

Absolutely amazing tutorials and information here. Why are you not bigger?! Let’s get the word out damn

[@Echoplex_sounds]

[@iamluchini]

Serum sound design is mad helpful !!

[@groovining]

Its such a great one to learn. The UI is fantastic. You literally don't need another substrative synth once you have serum down. :)

[@joegale3626]

Never ever made a comment on a YT vid before but this was a great tutorial, broken down very well with a decent amount of knowledge. Definitely put this up there with the Tim Cant stuff.

[@groovining]

Appreciate that Joe! Love Tim Cant also. If your into this kind of stuff check out this new vid I just made - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6XJoJSJjL54npI I also link to all my favourite jungle KZbinrs in this style 😊✌️

[@J-Hz]

Another great video. Copped your sample pack for support. One of the only few who actually research and study how it was all done back in the day to teach the techniques

[@groovining]

Amazing, thanks so much for that, means a lot mate! I find these artists and techniques so interesting myself I've been reasearching all this stuff years. I'm happy that I now how a platform to share it all and level up everyone's knowledge with me! Keep well dude✌️🥷

[@Bug3ater2]

G really is the jungle professor out here. homie has a doctorate in breaks and a masters in atmosphere

[@groovining]

Haha thanks Koolboi! 🥷🎓🏝

[@Olovlig]

When you started playing around with the chords and atmosphere sounds I just realized how genius DnB really is. Especially between like 1997-2003, the ambience sounds like almost nothing else - apart from maybe some film music.

[@groovining]

Yea the ambience and vibe of that style of early jungle was so epic. I love the futuistic atmospheric stuff as well as the darker side. It had less polish than tunes made today but way more character! 😊✌️

[@Olovlig]

@@groovining Yeah! For real. But there are surprisingly many artist who still carry the torch today, like the guys of Noisia or some of the newer Metalheadz releases still keep the tradition alive 😎

[@windowbreezes]

you're right because most of the producers were sci fi geeks at the time.

[@GregDixson]

The best pad tutorial I've seen! Comprehensive and detailed as ever, and the result is so good. well done G👏. Great there'll be another part.. loving this series so much :) btw the studio I worked at way back had the Roland JV-1080. It sounded lush!

[@groovining]

Thanks so much Greg! Hope your doing well man. I'll definitly do another on Atmos & FX's as it think its a huge part of their sound and cool for people to see. I've certainly got some gear lust for a Roland JV-1080. There not super expensive these days and everyone raves about them. I have a Digitone tho which is incredible so I definitly don't need one! ✌️🥷

[@VaChiee]

Without a debut the best and most compressive tutorial on YT thank you so much

[@groovining]

Wow thanks mate. Really appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the vid! :) ✌️

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Was wondering why YT was telling me I didn’t watch this video already and found it strange my comment was gone… then I saw it was a re-up to address part of my previous comment! 😅. Awesome pads breakdown, I ended up playing around with my own for an hour with inspiration from the video! Thank you!

[@groovining]

Haha thanks so much for letting my know. It was a delay feedback on 101%🤯. Really happy i've managed to inspire your own productions, that's what these vids are all about! ":)

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

@@groovining I kept thinking I was hearing something outside my headphones. Or maybe you had done it intentionally to throw off sound id or something haha. But yeah the chord voicing was what I was missing. It sounds so good!

[@groovining]

@@MrMarcLaflamme Yea it was definitely not intentional and super annoying once you noticed it so I definitely have to redo. That's probably my favorite way to voice these chords. You can add another note an octave down as well to bring some bass into the pads but it's not always necessary. :)

[@PSYB3RMOTH]

im definitely buying this

[@groovining]

Yes mate! Its my best pack with the Photek one✌️🥷 :)

[@altervisi7748]

Thank you!!!! Been looking for a tutorial on these kind of pads for ages

[@groovining]

No worries, thanks for the comment! This guy also has great vids on Jungle style pads - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnLGmWSHZa6imsU

[@beautifulcaramelman]

I like that high pitched string that you heard in the beginning of timeless by Goldie.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Got a feeling that was a Kurzweil sound.

[@groovining]

Kurzweil k2000 was another classic hardware sampler I left out of this one!

[@beautifulcaramelman]

@@groovining You should do breakdowns of as many Iconic DNB artists and songs as you can. There are tonnes of magazines from back in the day that have articles that you can flip straight into videos.

[@groovining]

Thats the plan really. It does take me around 6 weeks to 2 months to finish a whole series so its a huge amount of work! I'm trying to find the balance where I can make a few other types of videos in amoungst all the breakdowns. Thanks for all your comments mate :)❤️

Mate. Class video. Quality production all over.

[@groovining]

Cheers brother! Glad you enjoyed this one mate. Lots more coming this year :) ✌

[@aidanlee8804]

I love Source Direct. ‘Shimmer’ is one of their greatest pieces of work. Jim without a doubt, is my favourite producer of all time in the genre; & that’s after 25 years of studying the genre/thousands of records collected/producing etc. I’m really happy you chose this pad; which is actually quite difficult to replicate, over the style of pad that was featured heavily in Jungle. I’m talking about the one that comes in halfway through Ron’s ‘Dangerous’ & the intro on Leviticus’ ‘The Burial.’ SD & Photek had a slightly more somber tone to the musical elements in their tracks, that even Bukem didn’t use in his music. That’s why til this day; people still quote SD’s ‘Snake Style’ as the darkest tune Bukem would ever play. I haven’t produced for over a decade, but I understand everything you’re doing, despite the changes in technology! I’m not sure your age/when you began producing, but man; chopping up a break back then was incredibly tedious & you could not split in samplers in the way you can today. Serum wasn’t invented then, & re-sampling basses 30-40 times wasn’t unusual to make something totally unique. I’m really grateful for all of the information you’re sharing & I can’t wait til I can hopefully have the money to pay for a new, amateur studio; but just for fun this time! Thank you, & please; I’d selfishly love to hear you recreate more of the 90’s artists. The Photek/SD/Dillinja ones have been brilliant! I’d please ask if you could try & recreate something early off of Quarantine, Silent Witness & Fierce’s ‘Knife Point’ is easily my favourite roller of all time. Huge respect for your tenacity in taking the time to not just show techniques, but edit the videos to a high standard too. 👏🏻

[@groovining]

Yea man that's a tune! I started producing about 10 years ago but even then it was easy to chop breaks. Since then, i've gone back and got an Akai s1000 and EMU e5000 ultra so I now know how tedious it is! God the S1000 is slow. I've just done a track/series on Lemon D and Dillinja where I did a lot of that resampling out of my EMU with gain, Aural excited etc distrtion sine waves. Lots of fun! Cheers for the comment mate - appreciate all the kind words. I will definitly do more artits breakdowns in the future as people really seem to love them. Silent Witness would be dope. Someone mentioned Renegade Hardware type sound which I was super into. Big ups bro 😊✌️🚀

[@ghal3on]

Regarding the hardware snyths! A lot of doods would "rent" one for the weekend, or go over to a well off studio. Sample as much as they could. Its also a big reason why oldschool jungle sounds the way it does! They use the typical tricks of sampling in hot, sampling in shorter, higher sounds then transposing them back down inside the sampler

[@groovining]

You've always got great insight man. I need to run my project past you before I release them! I guess that's what was so groundbreaking about the hardware samplers. They could be a piano, synth & drummer all at the same time. Love that pitching up/down technique also, imparts way more favour than just usince Sample Rate reduction when you do it on the EMU .✌️

[@Lets-Drone-With-Bone]

Excellent tutorial, love this old school pad sound. Learnt a lot from this, takes me back :-)

Ok one more comment, seriously the template you have set for jungle pads opens up near endless possibilities for experimentation!

[@groovining]

Haha thanks for all your comments mate! Yea once you get the template down you come out with something great & unique everytime. It's all about movement & harmonic layers & that high end sparkle or sizzle! :)

great video bro, whats the ES2 sound? Shimmer preset sounds nothing like it?

[@groovining]

Yea the shimmer there has quite a lot to do with crystallizer by soundtoys. I've also highpassed so its just the top end playing. Another great way to do a shimmer is to have an arp layer from a synth or piano. Then use a delay plugin with a reverb after, high pass filter. Play with the delay time and reverb wet/dry :)

[@groovining]

Same man! This side of dnb/jungle is where its at. I'm all about the 90's style resurgence thats happening at the moment :)

[@morgan0]

i really like doing octave and fifths so i can play the chord in the sampler, and then all the movement and stuff happens out of phase in the different notes and makes it more complex and evolving, and of course it's more usable because i could play whatever chord

[@morgan0]

it does have the downside that the samples have a tendency to sound a bit more samey as they're all the same note

[@groovining]

Yea I love doing this also, such a classic trick. Your right though, the only downside is your stuck with whatever chord type you started with maj/min etc. so it's quite limited. Thats the style though ✌️🚀😊

[@davidpetersonharvey]

Nice work!

[@groovining]

Thanks! ✌️

[@davidpetersonharvey]

@@groovining My pleasure!

[@tresporros]

well done!, old school idea is to re-sample everything to 1 stereo file, load it into the sampler and play altogether one octave lower and one octave higher, wher pitch will be correct, but the tempo of octave higher/lower will be different and it will add some sound magic to your pads; more movement and interesting harmonically EDIT:), I made a comment at 21:00 minute watching, now I can see you actually resampling everything:) hehehe

[@groovining]

Yes, I actually love this technique and have been using it loads recently! playing the chords/pads +12 and the root gives you some amazing results with more ping-pong loops. You can also go Root and +/-7 or +/-5 and get some cool things and even even layer the chords 0, +7, +12 for some crazy magic stuff 🪄😊

[@tresporros]

I know;), adding touch of vocoder to all pads is a quick fix as well, ads some nice harmonies and movement@@groovining

[@groovining]

This is a quality tutorial, watching thinking hmm, maybe a bit too much of that, and then you balance out 😂 Would you do a follow up on getting drums to still hit clean through all the sound... Beyond the usual side chain tricks

[@groovining]

Thanks mate. If you actually check some of the other parts of this Source Direct series on drum processing there are lots of tips in there. Getting your drums to hit right is all about making them fat in the sound design & production stages with EQ, Comp, Saturation, Transient Shaping Etc. Then also balancing them correctly against the other elements in your mix. I try and split these two things up in my workflow as one it about making the breaks sound a good as possible and the other is about making them work in the context of the track as a whole.

@@groovining haha, will check them out... I should have checked before posting

Loving this series to the max. Im all about atmospheric pads ❤❤

[@groovining]

Cheers twice Adam :) I love atmospherical jungle the most I think. Been listening to this a lot recently - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mna8fnqjrKpqbsk Such a banger!❤

Thanks friend! :)

I've got Skynet's copy of Jungle Warfare 2 and Jungle Joose. It's nice to own a slice of D&B history.

[@groovining]

Wicked man, so many classic sounds on those Jungle Warfare CDs. Skynet's been producing tunes for ages!

[@prod.lanista]

Thank you soooo muuuuuuuch... I wanted to find out how to mane these type of pads for way too long lmfao

[@groovining]

All good friend! Happy to show you how to make these lovely pads :)✌️

nice man! subbed

[@groovining]

Thanks friend! Appreicate the sub, glad you enjoyed the vid :)

[@craigburton4447]

Good video but small correction. The Jungle Jungle samplepack was not an original 90s sample CD. It's a pack of sounds lifted from classic jungle / drum and bass tunes long after they were made and released for free by Blu Mar Ten.

[@groovining]

Yea I got that bit wrong but its a good pack for people to be aware of so not the end of the world that its in the vid! Cheers :)✌️

[@StripperPingvin23]

Thank God I thought this was the last one in the series. I really wanted to know a thing or two about arrangements in their tracks like black rose or even two masks. All those silent eerie buildups.

[@groovining]

Yea, I actually pass over it briefely in the intro of this vid where I talk about how some tunes use atmos & FXs to fill the background space and some use pads. I think the next one will be how to sound design some of the FXs and textural elements etc. Then maybe one more to finish! :)

Thanks, the RX950 is a nice plugin for 5€ almost as good as my akai3000xl
