[@STRANJAH]

WOW you guys are keeping me on my toes, I didn't think we'd get there this quick! Here is the project. I've provided a STEMS project for those that don't have the VSTS, as well as a full project with the VST's. Have fun and let me know what you think! tinyurl.com/stranjah-minimal-dnb-pt1

[@crucifymednb]

Enei - Northern Noise is so powerful

[@naught101]

Damn, dude, this is the best arrangement tutorial I've seen in years. Excellent work on keeping on topic and not straying into composition or sound design.

[@Synflood-dot-txt]

Agree

[@wilfbarker4296]

That reese bass goes hard, a sound design tutorial on that would be sick.

You can't imagine how much your videos help me

[@painboy8581]

I’ve only just started to learn how to produce since being on lockdown. Your videos have easily been the best source to help me get going. I couldn’t thank you enough 👍🏻

[@patricklindley2840]

How is the music production going for you now ?

[@jojofelina]

I love those snappy tight snares in DnB music … sounds so good.

[@Philbrazil]

Holy cow...This helped TREMENDOUSLY to understand not only DnB but just structuring as a whole! Thank you!!!

[@soddy31]

I've been mucking around with production for years and have always struggled with my arrangements (Big fan of sound design) and this video has explained it nice and clearly without over complicating it. This is how i've tried to view production i just haven't been able to put 2 and 2 together. Big ups

[@Drewsifff]

its rare i comment on youtube videos but I've recently started learning about dnb production and your videos are some of the best ive watched, super in depth and you explain your reasoning behind what you do too

[@dennisshu1466]

You really have a talent for explaining this kind of stuff. So clear und logical! No unnecessary fluff... Thanks!

[@STRANJAH]

most welcome!

[@fazagamea]

this guy knows the formula to make a heater in every genre its very impressive, bet alot of young new DnB djs that have been recognized in the uk recently owe alot to your videos

[@RELEVANTDNB]

Sick tutorial mate!

[@STRANJAH]

Glad it helped!

[@RAYSHIO]

Maan, you are giving best free dnb tutorials. Love and respect!

[@GunDogSlim]

Brilliantly explained. STRANJAH rocks

[@keef9078]

Dance moves have improved with every video

[@dynam0134]

Jo, Stranjah been binge-watching your tutorials man. seriously loving it, learned alot. Cheers.

[@AzureNightsMusic]

Came here for the drum structure, stayed for the sick bass! Legend! Thank you so much!

[@dominictaylor5204]

yo man thankyou for the vid, i feel like this is a very important topic to cover as turning your loops into full songs can be quite daunting. very exited for the next part :)

[@JIBLET]

great video once again ! allways look forward to your dancing at the start !

[@STRANJAH]

haha thank you!

[@K45A]

This tutorial really detailed my music projects. Everyone who is starting to make DNB should see this video.

[@djimma5080]

Something I did while learning was to load or record a track into my daw , mute it , then build your track using the recorded track as a frame work for my track. It helped me loads

[@DavidAsh42]

I keep coming back to this video when I get bogged down in overly-complicated compositions. Thanks again Stranjah!

[@STRANJAH]

that's cool that you do that!

[@asdrofllmao]

Hey Stranjah, this video series is fantastic. I've had to clobber this knowledge together for years from dozens of different sources, but you put it all together in one single tutorial. I don't think people fully understand how many goodies there are in there. Thank you for making this kind of knowledge available to the public.

[@Ferrichrome]

The fact this is free is insane man, thanks so much.

[@Lisquander]

You are absolutely crushing these videos dude

[@STRANJAH]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying them!

[@pietrotacconi6158]

I mainly produced techno in the past, and always admired dnb producers for being so precise and devoted, but such a complex arrangement seemed too hard to result in fun. Your videos are changing my mind, that's exactly the kind of content map i needed to score the structure of a track without worring about getting lost in details. Done that, I can finally proceed to the steps I love more, like bass design and mixing. Thank you very much, you're such a good educator and you deserve tons of exposure.

[@StuSiney]

Been reading lots of arranging tutorials. This is the best I have found.. ty

[@skeennah1927]

Those moves at the start of the video🔥🔥🔥

[@DaxRED-j6n]

Mate.. I re watch your videos regularly while I work. Its helping me get out of this 5 years writers block

[@Numocron]

Wow man this is such an awesome Drum & Bass tutorial I love it. Big up Stranjah.👊

[@kevinbre6132]

SOOO USEFULL!!!!

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Your most polished video to date! Excellent work on the addition of the slide show! You made this all look so easy... I can only dream...

[@STRANJAH]

Thank you glad you liked the slide show, took a long time to get it right!

[@ASH-ou4cg]

@@STRANJAH it was perfectly executed!

[@uniqueflowsnake]

the intro alone is sick AF. bro u mad.

[@STRANJAH]

thanks!

[@Stuggyy]

Would make my day if you could do a tutorial on creating something similar to Dominator's sort of 'womp' noise.

[@fevauk6121]

Best production tutorials on youtube...FACT!

thank you!

[@louiscoulling2368]

[@lumpsum256]

I just got back into producing dnb after a 10 year break . I've always understood the layout of a song but this is the BEST way I've ever seen it explained . I'm hooked I am eager to learn more !

[@saren6538]

My misses rather I watch porn instead of producing

[@ethicsmw]

Incredible content as always, have learned SO much from your videos

[@IlluminatorMFG]

Thank you my friend for making complete sense on how to build a 16 bar phrase and composition. Big ups⚡️

[@rossnesbitt972]

Gotta Thank you for sharing all your knowledge dude!!! been a DnB head since day but never thought I had the ability to produce.... I have learned a hell of a lot from watching how you do things and its given me the confidence to invest in a DAW and have a go.... Thank you!! I was able to create my first full length composition last week after arriving home form my mother's funeral. I just felt it.... I spent a solid 20 hours on it (all OG sounds, apart from the vocal and the drum hits). and am thoroughly proud of it. I was just wandering, as somebody that was a huge influence and inspiration for me, you would mind giving it a listen through and some feedback? Way more than happy to talk about how it was put together too.... Thanks again!

[@rossdangerossdrysdale945]

Dude you are a legend. Been watching your channel for ages. Spiritual awakening brought me here to make some dutty bass on some dutty big speakers 😊. Cheers man everything you put up expands my work flow in the sickest ways. Keep it up

[@sheepinsane]

Keep the good work on, Stranjah!. Bless.

[@Therealalibali]

You are an inspiration for many ideas

[@BadlyDubbed]

Seeing a track structure explained like that is really nice. Super clear.

[@celestinakamura6076]

You're an awesome teacher Stranjah!

[@blkrbbt]

Oh, my gosh! I was looking for this! Im just starting music production, and I mentioned in another comment that this helps me learn the TR8s. BIG ups, Stranjah!

[@banton9368]

Mate these tutorials are literally gold ive been learning to produce for about 5 months and always though oh i know its something like 32-64-32-64-16 and not paid any more attention to it but ive realised ive been overlooking sooooo much it’s ridiculous

[@stevendorey1825]

Used to produce jungle a millions years ago and recently got back into it. Wanted to give D&B a shot and this video was super helpful! Thanks man!

[@BradTUp]

loving the tutorials, some of the best on KZbin! Would love to see some deep roller type stuff like Enei (Widowed-like) and Kasra

This whole series is awesome

[@xirtus]

G*D*D*M*T a new favourite tuber

[@bohman3231]

Most of this video is such common knowledge to me but I really enjoy going back and watching this series more specifically. I would love to know more about your theory on "Call and response". I think my music is missing so much of it and you really hone in on how powerful and necessary it is to music and making that " tension and release". thanks again man!

[@LuckyS7venn]

Youre going to be a big channel soon bro! Keep it up

[@Rainer01]

[@asyncron_os]

These tutorials are incredible and very cleanly explained

[@ryanpurdon7774]

Another steller vid! I'm basically combining elements from all your videos together now. Used the drums from your jungle production kit for this one. Taking lots of time to experiment, make changes and apply techniques I've learned elsewhere to make things sound more my own. The amount of progress I've made since starting out a month ago is not at all what I imagined. Bless you, kind sir!

[@rogblackmore]

Love this straight forward approach. Thanks!

[@BrainBustersYYC]

Great work. Love the visualisation of the structure, you've managed to explain something I've only been able to express as "ohh man I love this bit!" for about the last 30 odd years of my life. Love the fact you've included the emotive side and explained where it keys in with your blocks. Brilliant stuff dude, keep it up. Great content.
