HOW TO MELODIC DNB (Sub Focus, Chase & Status, Luude)

[@benjamintbradley]

People just haven't caught on yet, but this tutorial is hands down one of the best out there. It's a blueprint, a reference and an inspiration. It's laid out so well and offers everyone from beginner to expert a foundation to produce amazing drum and bass music. Moonboy you have some great tutorials on your channel, but this one is simply incredible. I've referenced it about a dozen times. You are inspiring countless new producers. This should be at a million views by now.

Hi. May i know which music maker you using? Noobie here.

[@Peat030]

@@darkfane1456 there are different options and it just boils down to preferennce when it comes to daws just download some demos and try them out

[@marvinjordt]

@@darkfane1456 Hi, you can try the Ableton DAW for free for 30 days. This might be a good starting point.

Been rockin DnB since the 90s. Glad the world is finally waking up to this great sound

[@smeeh1007]

i second this motion!

[@kubadojakuba]

Me to And i am not glad. 😢 Look what happened to hiphop when it becomes the mainstrem. Disaster.

[@smeeh1007]

​@@kubadojakuba no worries, when "dnb" cats dilute it, Real "DNB" cats come in and stand at guard! dnb is more than just a 2 minute tune-i cant believe that's a thing-, double drops (although i feel they have their place), etc! remember that DNB survived a neo-mainstream attempt during the 90's during Goldie's "Timeless" and Roni Size's "New Forms" both ground breaking work. You had cats like Marcus Intalex and Calibre holding the line as well as Dilinja Paving the way for us and Ed Rush and Optical pushing the boundaries! going mainstream, nah, DNB has got a solid underground base!

Been watching these tutorials for a while. I'm no producer yet but I am a musician who has enjoyed many genres of EDM for 10+ years, and I just recently invested in FL studio. I'm excited to learn the daw and get to try the things I've heard about through this series in practice! Thank you Moonboy for the tips and tricks! 🐐

[@cerebrumexcrement]

this guy is his own hype man. i need this kind of energy.

[@C1N3M4DD1CTAUDIO]

I agree...he has athat rare energy that people naturally gravitate towards which makes watching his videos incredibly more exciting!! Moonboy and Metrik just speak an easier audio language to relate to imo.

[@fulpixel]

Great tutorial as always! Btw, for anyone wondering, you need voicing set to "note latch" to control volume with noise in Serum FX :) You can see he has it on in the bottom right.

[@fieldmammal7026]

I really appreciate you stating what the commands are (like CMD+G to make a group). I sure it could get repetitive and take more work to edit those in, but it really helps someone new to ableton like myself as I don’t know many of the work flow shortcuts.

Yo the drop on this one is sick dude! Heat as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MoveTrueRecords_]

Ive been trying to learn this. and your actually teaching it so simple instead of just talking and barley explaining

[@raj_ratan]

never in my life have I heard such a high quality track being produced for a tutorial, unpopular opinion but majority of the people who tend to teach the producer community are dogshit when it comes to writing good melodies and actually creating a high quality cohesive track, I respect their technical knowledge but Id never wanna learn from someone whose music I wouldn't listen to, but you changed it, and I will keep an eye out for all the stuff that you do, Respect.

[@wvkeupits_exren]

dnb is one of the best edm genres ever! this video was a perfect tuorial! ❤

[@Adam-g-uk]

Its not edm, the creator's and connoisseurs will tell you this, our scene started as hardcore and jungle which was an evolution of the jamaican aound system culture and the early hip hop culture, thats why we have mcs and reloads and no edm genres do that, theres tracks that are just funk breakbeats and 808 basses and thats the same formula as early rap music(which isnt edm either)

[@Vitae_]

its edm, cry more@@Adam-g-uk

[@arqelf9505]

@@Adam-g-uk you dont think DnB is "electronic dance music"?

[@Adam-g-uk]

@@arqelf9505 mate, is trap edm? Is rnb edm? They're all made on electronic equipment! People are trying to turn dnb into edm but its not classed as that in uk and uk is where dnb is from, are you from uk?

[@arqelf9505]

@@Adam-g-uk I see EDM more as a collective term for every electronic genre fitting into the rave scene. Trap can be EDM but I dont see RnB as EDM, more like HipHop or Soul. Im from Germany.

[@saimchaudhry1856]

Bro your channel is so under rated. Your music is fire and your knowledge is epic. I wish u alot of views and success but at the same time i selfishly hope you dont blow up too big so your quality of music and videos dont get watered down and get ‘pop’. Alot of great underground artists went that route and i hate it. I love your shit bro keep it up strong work Also ‘structurize’ isn’t a word my love. 😂

[@itsandygd]

Great tutorial, made my DnB production much easier after learning the basics. Keep it up bro!

[@tonyb7182]

Yeh im loving learning all these editations, techniques, strategies, it all pays off the more time you put in. Dont think anyone is truly 100% satisfied even at the final outcome tho. I always think any track anyone makes can always be improved its about the 'know how' sort of speak. Great tutorial and video mate.

[@demolitionkid2]

I have been on the front lines of dnb since 97. I have made music the entire time since then. THINGS HAVE EVOLVED since FruityLoops 1.5 ,Sony acid ,Cubase , logic and reason( matched on purpose this was what top tier was dnb was made with back then and the dnb content for reason was second to none). FruityLoops eventually grew up to FL studio and a new player called ableton live rose from the ashes of the original acid dev team. Things are always evolving and don't let anyone tell you to stop. If it doesn't make the cut regroup and bang out another beat. I knew back then I wouod never have a chance to make it in dnb as 911 happened and they destroyed the rave scene shutting us down almost entirely. We've rebuilt since then and this generation knows nothing of the struggles we went through to keep this music alive. POTD was the shit stateside and Dave Minner and Damien Higgins are responsible for the scene stateside along with Darragh Guilfoyle being a huge influence on us as a whole. Legends never die .....we will rise again.

[@jungillestt02]

As for someone that's been listening it going on 20yrs it's about damn time the US catches on. I was pist when Pasquale got rid of the Drum&Bass stage at all his events besides at edc back in 2013. But I'm glad it's becoming more popular and it's such a good time because it's just bangers left and right being produced right now. You either hate it or you're obsessed 💯. I just went to Apocalypse and the Drum&Bass stage was absolutely insane, it was amazing to feel that shit again on a crazy ass sound system 🔥. I actually seen deadmau5's video he post of his Drum&Bass set, it's obvious he's going to acclimate fast af and be on the forefront of the rise of Drum&Bass 🙌🏼. Tutorial was 🔥 btw

[@g0ste]

multiband compression squashes everything together? the clue is in the name... if anyone was actually wondering what multiband compression was, it separates the input to different frequency bands, then applies compression to those specific bands (e.g. L/M/H frequencies). So it does the exact opposite of squashing everything together (it separates the sound and applies different levels of compression that you set to the different freq bands). Also there are many many caveats with multi band compression, use sparingly!
