[@JustinHawkes]

LOOOOOL....Props to you for giving dnb a tutorial shot! It's one of the most diverse genres of electronic music, there are so many ways to make drum & bass. Many people are scared to try it because it takes quite a lot of practice. As an american dnb producer myself it's good to see people getting interested in it! Bring it on!!

[@eoinreilly8477]

Ha lol I did a KZbin dnb tutorial from one dnb mix... It's probably so bad.

[@syncmaniax7457]

[@cork9884]

Eyyyy lookie here. It's one of my favourite producers on one of my favourite channels. Love your stuff man.

[@xmgaming2444]

Ahhhh it's Flite

[@AftermathRV]

What do you mean intricate, diverse and hard to make? Just take a amen break, break it up by bars and rearrange them, then use a baseline of choice. tada. every pendulum track ever. (no diss i love pendulum)

[@tom_something]

A quick chopping tutorial in under two minutes, tucked inside a nine-minute rhythm tutorial. That's pretty impressive.

[@DeAdMaU5xD95]

Gotta give you your due respect man, your analogies are that weird they're actually 100% easy to understand, impressive 😂 Keep the vids coming, a lot of people could learn a lot from your perspective on production! 👏

[@leibnizlopez7179]

wowzers

[@swim1077]

I don’t even need patience or effort to focus on your videos. They’re so funny it keeps me entertained and able to learn. Thanks for being you man.

[@strippd]

Brum and dase, almost pissed my pants

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

Really? Cause I pooped mine. Sup?

[@supernatural802]

you sir are making my day with this video. it takes a rare talent to make tutorials like yours.

[@chenugent]

This video was hilarious. The funniest part, was the self-mockery of how Americans slowed down the amen break while Europe made it faster. As someone from the UK who listens to a lot of drum and bass, I can say your advice was really helpful and it looks like you know a lot about dnb!

[@ajn2747]

nice! DnB is a really perfectionist genre. Hope you do more videos on this.

[@michaelbatchelor8531]

YESSS, finally a good dnb vid

[@RisetotheBottom00]

You are my favorite person to learn from. Every one of your vids drops knowledge

[@LivinInLuxury]

Love the tone of your videos man. Cracks my shit up. Oh and the info is pretty heater too. Sub'd AF

[@unkatom]

Yay! New Bruhm and Dayse tips we TOTALLY already knew! AND Derrick more or less helped! Underbelly, you saved 1997 from the gnawing futility of time's cruel indifference!

[@gabrielwood3016]

[@BRedFilms]

This channel has yet to disappoint

[@supremeuppercut]

I always learn something new in your vids, regardless of the subject. Da Bomb ish.

[@greedokenobi3855]

Herr Sargnagel You mean the illusion of having more bass in your tracks, you’d have more bass in the room but you’d probably end up with the lack of bass in your actual mix.

[@rudeflex2659]

Can u go over how u set up your projects in the future? Like why do u have your drum racks set at 6db instead of default 0db, etc.

[@dR0L0b]

I think is for mixing purposes and space for compression, I may be wrong bro...
