it's unusual from a producer's point of view, especially with the reverse polarity

I've been a subscriber since almost the beginning of your channel and I gotta say (if I haven't said already) that it's the best channel on youtube. Your content, your research, your accuracy, your improvement & etc are in no ways comparable to any other one - outstanding. You are appreciated bro 🙏

Great video bro🔥🔥🔥 Awesome breakdown. Drake did another song with a beat switch between “SICKO MODE” and “Jimmy crooks”. He did it with FUTURE on “life is good”

very cool trick, getting that "side chain" effect on the 808 with an envelope shaper. I thought they might had done that with a muted kick track + a gate. Never too old to learn haha. Amazing stuff as always!

[@mayaabeatz_]

I learned a lot today, thank you Aiden

[@slackstarfish8133]

For any of yall that don’t sidechain the 808 to the kick, especially for a rack kick, moving the kick by tiny increments can make it fit way better with the 808. You pretty much gotta just test every kick and move it slightly forward or back so that it sits right with the 808. It has to do with the waveform and wether or not they are clashing. Moving the kick just slightly can change how the waveforms interact and make it sound wayyy better. It creates a different sound compared to sidechaining which can be nice but it takes more work.

[@ewakuierer]

one of your best 👌

[@rakmo_music]

very informative bro.

[@karanaramchoudhary2369]

Damn he went all the way explaining even the minor details and descriptions. Hats off

[@kmshana94]

I think the beat switch idea was first established for drake in "If you're reading this it's too late" all the songs in that album were pretty much 2 songs in one way or another

very informative aiden, I am inspired

[@KRISTIJAN63]

in the first beat one of the sample chops is played in reverse. you can hear that the vocals in the last chop of each bar kinda fade in in the original

[@matt-lv7jl]

Drake's done quite a few beat switches, fair trade, TSU and n 2 deep on clb had one, jimmy crooks, her loss has a lot of beat switches, rich flex, broke boys, hours in silences etc. For all the dogs had a few musical changes half way through songs too, 7969, fpsm etc. Don't forget his old classic tracks too, pound cake switched into a different beat/song too

[@52198]

This is facts

[@Agasbgsgs]

I think recently the influence is from Travis Scott as a lot of their collaborations have beat switches and it's a staple of Travis' style

[@AidenKenway]

Appreciate the comment. Many Drake songs do have beat switches. I was referring to songs that switch up to a specific type of faster beat like what we heard in SICKO MODE pt 3. The BPM in the songs you mentioned either stayed the same or slowed down. Apart from Broke Boys. That's another good example of this method.

[@tenksedwin]

@@AidenKenwaybeat slowed down in life in good??

[@matt-lv7jl]

that's technically a future song ft drake, but the concept in this video applies to this song too@@tenksedwin
