HOW TO MAKE JUNGLE MUSIC IN ABLETON WITH 6 TRICKS [Amen Break Drum & Bass Tutorial Part 3]

[@STRANJAH]

Wow, we did it in ONE day! Thank you once again, here is the project file, samples are in the "Samples" folder. tinyurl.com/stranjah-amen-pt-3

[@funtycase2043]

Any advice on how to tame the clicky transients? ?

[@funtycase2043]

Maybe never mind, when I crack some juice into the break it all seems to gel nicely

[@STRANJAH]

@@funtycase2043 OK glad it worked. I had to remove some of the third-party VST's so everybody could use it, so it might sound a bit different from the video. I tried to compensate with additional saturator on the amen.

[@funtycase2043]

@@STRANJAH yeah I assumed it was cos of trash being took away, its only when u lower volumes but when cranked up its bang on. Although releasing the full effects chain would be amazing

[@nikku1166]

@@STRANJAH Can we get the project with the Trash Rack included? Or at least get a video on how to set up the rack that's using Trash? I know you mentioned you might in the video, i'm definitely interested to see how you got the Trash2 set up.

[@STRANJAH]

500 LIKES and I will provide you guys the samples and project for free!

[@DJGissmoe]

this video is so helfull ive learnt alot from your channel and cant wait to start applying it to my tunes

[@addictedtocraic]

Thank you mate. Great tuts. Well explained and sound great. You make it look easy. :)

[@Alex-jn1xz]

Hey stranjah, an fl studio version of your jungle midi project would be dope ✌️

[@hydrogxn]

Went full t-power at the end brilliant

[@willied7521]

Hands down you have the best tutorials. Clear, to the point, and proper!

[@STRANJAH]

Thank you!

[@stuartj1079]

I like how he doesn’t start his tutorials with “it’s your boy”

[@shrekschild964]

If I ever become a music producer and become famous I’m crediting this dude 😭🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@STRANJAH]

thanks!

[@SvintMvrcus]

The files being deleted was lowkey a blessing because I had to go find and download the breaks myself and save them process them and convert to midi then follow along. Took me 2 hrs to get through this one and I thought I already knew how to chop the break. So much valuable info man.

[@mattskinner5432]

Right that’s it, I can’t take this no more. I’ve downloaded the live trial. Got an old midi keyboard and a asio sound card. I can revisit the early 90s for 90 days. See what happens me and amen 🔊🎶♥️

[@ertza3011]

severely underrated KZbinr and musician!

[@a28gunbadboy35]

My fave amen track, dj ss - black. Still melts my mind everytime I listen to it.

[@STRANJAH]

me too, one of my faves

[@jojoDUB]

I've been producing for over 6 years now (DnB for about 4) and this seriously the best tutorial series I've ever seen. There's so little info on these techniques out there and I'm really glad you're presenting them so well! This is gonna help a lot of people.

[@alexchance9368]

My fav Amen Break tune is: Don’t be afraid - Chronic 8 (Ray Keith)

[@theboycee1]

The tune at the start was bomb mate proper old school style

[@alicmixes]

Thank the lord I found this tutorial. Short but full of so much information. Thank you!

[@SubIntension]

Learned to make dnb beat in a matter of minutes, without a doubt the best tutorial on KZbin

[@STRANJAH]

Always great to hear when that happens!

[@dja-myx2781]

Man ! This is master class skill here.

[@asdfdfggfd]

I used to compose 4 bars at a time, but Stranjah has upped my compose game to 16 bars.

[@daverave999]

I've watched loads of tutorials, and this has got to have the most intense level of information transfer I've seen. Excellent. Thanks.

[@CyberYarns]

I need to learn how to chop and program breaks like this in my mpc 2500!! I’m gonna try apply the knowledge from here!

[@MrSnippety]

These tutorials are excellent but my favorite part is the vibe at the start XD

[@lukaskurz6723]

dude thank you so much for the velocity curve trick !

[@mippymoo069]

Your doing a greag job very helpful vid

[@Ovodov]

BRILLIANT! Thank you for sharing yours experience!

[@STRANJAH]

[@dan_g-DreadMassaker]

"Dillinja - the angels fell" is defo one of my favorite amen tunes ever. Also "dead dred - dredd bass (origin unknown remix) is a killer tune

[@tehrobotjesus]

I want more! More Amen chopping tricks, please.

I needed a good explanation for a shuffle and here it is. Thank you for saving me a lot of head scratching. Instant sub.

[@JIBLET]

[@nicojbp]

Trying to learn how to do this live, thank you!

[@sramirez1906]

I've been looking for a video showing how to program that shuffle for a while. Thanks!

[@DJBathtub]

Show Me Heaven - DJ Force and The Evolution: great Amen intro

[@Digiphex]

I like how you analyzed this. Very good tutorial.

[@aarons2632]

Favorite amen track…maybe….Ray Keith ‘Something Out There’ Twisted Anger remix.

[@bengidney1416]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@EarCandyContraption]

Just absolutely loving your stuff, mate. There's no other dnb KZbinr making crystal clear and engaging tuts like you are right now. Keep pushing out more vids, PLEASE!

[@STRANJAH]

[@romankiriakov6869]

Dude, that's the most informative video about music production I saw, thanks a lot!

[@harveyalmack7486]

favourite amen tune: sully - soundboy dont push your luck

[@sleep13]

hugeee tune

[@MultiverseAliensandShizz]

I love it when Dillinja pops up with the boing sound. Makes me laugh everytime hahahah

[@MS-kx8zg]

This is PROPAH. Luv it. The rising tide floats all boats!!

[@stefanristic8180]

Thank you man... Seba - Car Crash made me study amen break.

[@scottroberts5581]

Wow! What an amazing tutorial. Really brings the concept of investing time to create new loops from classic standards to life. Thank you.

[@topnobby]

Don’t forget the trills, 32nd and 32t...bit of velocity ramp 👍

[@113odyssey]

Your video's rock man! Thanks for making them

[@Judgey19XX]

Favourite jungle track - Kemet Crew: The Box

[@tenebrissubterra4596]

Missing made some slammers, check out Stitch in time, rewound Riddims. Both anthems

[@simianuk]

This video is really excellent, thank you!

[@miraxymusic]

I needed this in my life. Thank you!

[@roobag2003]

Amazing tutorials. Packed with great information. Thank you.

[@STRANJAH]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sophiao4580]

dude your tutorials are so good, thank you! been struggling to get drums right in dnb for months now. bigggggup

[@STRANJAH]

Glad to hear it!

[@JIDEHHIGHELEMENTS]

Stranjah !!! glad i've found your channel , inspirational ! thx for the share !

[@ucdannewman]

this was wicked, would love to see a tutorial on how producers like sully create those pitch shifts and glitchyness in his drums

[@freddiefranklin1]

Awesome videos dude! These are the best tutorials for chopping breaks in my opinion! Thanks for your help

[@dojibwe1]

I find when I'm NOT using the amen break, I have a real hard time making my choppage sound smooth - in other words it always sounds too "jumpy and stuttery". More like the out there Squarepusher tracks and less like the dope 90s Remarc chunes. I would love to see a video on how to make "flowy" choppage when you aren't repeating a 2 or 4 bar pattern - I want to go all over the place with the chops like Soundmurderer! Or another cool tutorial idea would be to take a classic choppage song and break down the chops throughout - kind of like you did with the classic amen patterns vid - but not just the single pattern - over the course of all of the stanzas on the record. Keep making dope videos Stranjah!

[@chimpignoramusiv8650]

You are an absolute bossman. I have so much respect for knowledgable guys like you who just wanna help people do what they love. I'd follow you across deserts dude. Favourite amen tune is the Remix of You Don't Know by Dillinja. Had to be

[@KurisuKagato]

My favorite Amen track? "Foregone Destruction" by Michiel van den Bos (from Unreal Tournament '99)

[@russellleo5182]

You are a true OJ. Peace from Burlington. Hope to run into you one day and talk about the old school scene.

[@technoautomated]

Excellent! Learned a ton in such a short time and I don’t even use ableton! Yeow!

[@substance90]

Dude, I learned more in 13 minutes than from entire paid courses!

[@STRANJAH]

hahah good to know!

[@audiophysix]

Your tracks are BOOM. Was very excited to see that you are doing tutorial videos! Amen Fury has been a staple track in my mixes since I first got into Jungle.

[@STRANJAH]

Rock on! Glad to hear you've been rocking amen fury!

[@adomukadomuk8023]

Awesome tutorial StranJah!Helped me to understood jungle patterns, need to learn more!

[@STRANJAH]

Glad to hear that!

[@MrnintendoSEGAfan1]

My favourite jungle/ Amen tracks are classics but they are: MBeat ft General Levy - Incredible TopCat - Put up Ya Lighta! Origin Unknown - Valley of Shadows Shy FX - Choppa Levictus - Warning

[@gertfukked3082]

Amazing tips big up

[@jascooly]

Not my absolute fav (I think every question about something you really love starting with What's your top..." is virtually impossible to answer), but something that always comes to mind is Amit - Operator, this amen is used in more in some sort of dub/dubstep/slow jungle-vibe but the way that amen enters the track remains ridiculously satisfying to me.

[@adrouf1]

🙏👍👍 Really great . Thank you so much !!

[@lesrim6585]

Really inspiring bro, thank you.

[@Ogami79]

Proper Dance Moves, Kid!!

[@jaywalker3192]

You explain things nice and simply, great work bro! As you mentioned around 1.45, would love to see your take on processing breaks with Trash

[@codenamedashman1541]

Thank you so much, dude. Literally, the best tutorials of anyone out there and I've watched heaps. Such great content! Inspired me into great music-making session getting down of presets in Logic. One cool idea I'm sure you can do very easy in Ableton is to have all the different jungle patterns you've created as different Midi clips. Then trigger them all live and record to create fun variations between them all!✌️

[@STRANJAH]

That is a dope idea, thanks for that!

[@nikku1166]

Still looking forward to seeing that Trash 2 multiband distortion tutorial you mention doing in here.

[@FirstoftheFallen]

Favourite Amen tune has to be DJ Traces remix of Splash - Babylon. Heavyweight jungle bizniz!

[@marcmeup1]

Hey bubba. It's a delight to discover your channel - You're repping UK underground like a mofo. I'm an old codger & original Junglist - as a teen I used to buy records from Ray Keith himself ! @ Blackmarket Records in Soho, London as far back as '95 - I was a regular at Metalheadz's Sunday Sessions @ the Blue Note as well as Bukem's Speed nights @ the Mars Bar in Tottenham. Wish you could have been there - Seminal times! Believe me when I tell you - you're a credit to the genre and I salute you for keeping the skills and vibe alive - for a more global & newer audience...as well as teaching this ol' dog a few tricks. Haha! Cheers & much love STRANJAH - keep the fire burning brother. xx

[@STRANJAH]

Thanks for your amazing comment! Crazy to hear you lived it all!! I have visited Blackmarket Records a couple times in the 2000's when DJ Flight was working there. Definitely a pilgrimage for any real junglists out there! You must have some stories! Thank you for the support, I will do my best as always!

[@witchdoctorwise]

Love these tutorials. Got me wanting to try making jungle for first time since playing with octamed back in 94

[@oliw4127]

I’m so excited to try some of this when I get home haha !

[@Golokamusic]

I've wanted to move into D&B for years but could never get my head around Ableton, your tutorials are brilliant.

[@doktahjekyll7448]

Massive massive love for your movements dude 😁🤟big ups 🤜 and thank you

[@STRANJAH]

thank you!

[@bigrick4905]

some of the best info on the web

[@ferdinandherrmann6496]

Nice video, I like when you can hear what youre going for in the beginning 😄

[@STRANJAH]

Glad you can appreciate that, thought it be good to show the end result so you know what you're going to be getting into.

[@rykennon]

Best Amens for me on a track is Amazon II - Beat Boo-Yaa (Remix)... banging!

[@JChow-sw1yb]

Bro your easily the best out here doing this thing 💪 great content, well explained, no rubbish 👊

[@alfonsoponce2940]

Thank U very much! Great video

[@itsdjdozer5025]

OMG, the mystery beat has been solved!!

[@hydrogxn]

Dialed it tf in. Well done

[@SusanaCarmona-yc2dt]

Eres el mejor creando Beats! Big Up!🔥

[@ricardoromeika950]

Amazing tutorial thank you for what you’re doing

[@ukgforze]

Would love to see a lot more FL vids, especiall maiking making old skool jungle, breakbeat hardcore, intelligent etc 💯🙏

[@badboychopsticks]

Big up for this mate. Please mate some vids on break processing! those amens sound super nice

[@badboychopsticks]

And also that slicing preset!!!

[@danman397]

Would love a tutorial on making goodlookin/looking good records style pads and track layout ... Much respect on your video's

[@simonbell209]

I second that.

[@soulplate7939]

Thirded

[@Artersa]

Heck yeah pads.

[@STRANJAH]

Wow lots of requests for this. Are we talking about early 90's good looking ltj bukem style? Some track references would help.

[@danman397]

Pfm- one and only Makoto- Jupiter fields Rantoul- default Pfm had great 808 that I don't know how he did it sitting with the kick and basic track layouts of the genre as far as the type of pads that were used because they seemed like they were always evolving so I didn't know if they used a chorus or an auto filter ECT.... thank you for the reply!!!

[@mattdyne]

Seriously underrated track is Vérité by Sully, not sure if its proper amen break but there is some quality breaks in there

[@AmenJunglist1973]

Remarc Thunderclap, keep up the good work, your vids are so informative, taught me loads

[@ouatedephoque]

8:26 I was looking for this trick for years !! Thank you so much !!

[@Goforitmanager]

Such a great starting point for beginners, very easy to follow along and lay down some beats, well done. When I spend almost my whole Sunday on a 13 minute video it must mean it’s a great video.

[@김선용-z6r]

this was so helpful thx man

[@marlon_fm]

This lesson is sick! Thanks a lot. I´ll produce my first Jungle track.

[@sampyannotti]

Masterwork- absolutely incredible.

[@maxdanguy]

these tutorials are awesome

[@turn1210]

Either Bizzy B & TDK - Wicked Man for pure creativity in chopping up the break, or Breakage - Staggered Dub

[@seanhochman]

Really nice tutorials man!!!

[@sqyttles]

Oh wow, I learned something today from you. Thanks! I really like your tutorials.

[@STRANJAH]

Happy to hear that!

[@DJSNCE1212]

Big ups Stanjah👊 I was wondering if you think serato sample is as good or better than recycle for breaks. I completely destroyed a tune because ableton’s inability to stretch breaks properly.

[@GrouEEf]

You, sir, make amazing content. Thx!

[@STRANJAH]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@NextSound170]

Gonna switch to Ableton soon.

[@Hhajsjeieirhrbbr]

Dude, what a tutorial.
