I turned a NOOB producers track into a banger

[@adamhaans]

Who does this? Legit no other artists at his level spend the time or energy to give us this kind of content showcasing what it takes to make a fire track. Hats off to James for constantly giving back to us fans to help us grow and make better stuff

[@mikaelholmstrom2513]

That’s because many DJs are not producers and therefore using other real producers make a record for them…. James is both a great DJ and a skilled producer that’s the real reason 🎉

[@joshsasso8344]

Jauz did something similar w his demo roulette series those are really cool too

This is actually far more helpful than I think it was intended to be - huge fan of this as a new producer

[@dudleygray3088]

Creating that stabby long noise to sidechain another long midi note is actually really fucking creative. normally id just attempt to sound design the original sound in serum and get pissed off when its nothing like i hoped 😂

[@dudleygray3088]

I'm back again to say didn't realise how powerful this idea actually is at first lol. When your making a bass stab you could literally cough into a mic and use it shape a filter etc. The possibilities are endless, you can literally "steal" any motion or groove from any clear sound.

[@AndrewChin-ck9uk]

what time is that trick shown?

[@dudleygray3088]

@@AndrewChin-ck9uk God knows brother watch the video. He makes a serum noise that didn't have much rythym to it. Then creates a click track and meshes the 2

[@dannyjohno5579]

​@@AndrewChin-ck9uk roughly about half way through

[@Thugmarlon]

You should try slappin an auto pan effect on your serum sound. Use the phase knob to create what he did with that sidechain. Then automate the rate or slap an lfo on the rate. You"ll be amazed.

[@DjDaliaMusic]

Such great tips on how to make a track sound less flat and dry. I personally struggle with this a lot. Thanks James for being such inspiration and help to all beginner producers!

[@skriptico]

not only a great musician, producer and dj but also a honest good dude. thats refreshing. 🎉

[@caitas_pt]

You are here to change the game and not to profit from it, that's why I admire you, with shows and tours you still have time yo drop us some content, cheers mate

The funny thing of watching this video is that you make it look everything so easy.. it takes years to master Ableton Live at this level!.. Thanks for sharing!

What I love about James that he’s giving back to the community ❤

[@meredithunit]

WHO DOES THIS?!? Big up to Ben, I hope you love the track after James got his Hype to it, I think it’s fire and you’ve got a legit banger here! Nice one James 😎

love @5:02 using bass lead sample audio reversed with reverb for build. R - for reverse! Golden tip!

[@DanteLara]

Wow! This was so helpful. Thank you. I love the part when he takes the first chunk of the lead sound, Reverses it as a way to introduce the initial lead better. WIll be using this technique

[@AndrewMichael69]

So grateful I found you and your crew! Amazing content. Cant wait to see you live!!

THIS WAS SO FUN TO WATCH !!!! Please make more of these :)

[@makiss.2597]

Im so not interested in how music is made whatsoever but I couldnt stop watching. This was epic

[@macstar8317]

Great work! As an Ableton NOOB I can appreciate just how difficult it is to make what you did look so easy!

[@brooksdubois4721]

Really like how you preserved the essence of the initial beat, but then again really stylized it in a clearly superior way. Very interesting and informative, makes me appreciate house a little bit more.

[@Jayyyboyle1]

I needed this video! Please never stop with this type of content. Other producers get big and don’t put out educational stuff like this.

[@djspacey2509]

Yeah I enjoyed this video better than all they shorts tbh

[@ZWEINULLACHT]

Ben needs to come up with more ideas like this 🔥

[@ukotiidemann4027]

Love this, and seeing all the plugins you use, fast and informative.

@james hype You’re a absolute legend Imagine making a tutorial on how to really add a layers to a song and teaching how certain effects can be used Without making a tutorial! I learn more off your videos then I do off others actual tutorials And your tunes are always bumpin Keep doing your ableton videos man they’re 🔥
