Making a Beat From Scratch, Old School Style!

[@Advokit]

Off topic, but I don't think I've congratulated you on your weight loss. Congratulations!

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks. Been working at it!

[@spiketrakton329]

@@jonmakesbeats My brother I went right to the comments to tell you, I can see you've slimmed down in the face. Keep it going brother great work as always! Congrats on making it happen

[@prod.lanista]

​@@jonmakesbeats fr bro, you're slowly becoming a sigma male fr

[@schnoodlevideo]

I edited this episode Old School Style (on a Steinbeck)! thanks for watching everyone :)

[@SAYPOOP]

That's a deep cut!

[@buckbreaker5185]

someones been hitting the gym. good work

[@hypethekid42069]

Omg jon from the 9 years ive known u you have lost SO much weight good job king love u❤️

[@pricy69]

genuinely wasnt convinced with just the synth and drums, but holy shit the bassline turned it into something brand new. beautiful. you're a sick dude

[@OrangeDrinkMusic]

All the Digitakt II madness made want to come home to Club Octatrack: where everybody knows my name, with your friendly beat-tender Jon

[@inguziii]

I'm happy youre alive man

[@radazeonv8821]

5:41 was absolutely ridiculous with that vinyl-esque tempo switch-up. Reminds me of the transition in The Come Up from part 1 to 2. What a potent brew of sounds.

[@AlbertoBalsalme]

Old school Tekken visuals in the bg is such a nice touch! Incredible beat too, really love learning from your process doing these

[@bebussound7991]

holy shit u keep getting crazier and crazier! ive never heard anything like this

[@paradockz]

a not digitakt ii video today? i knew you were the fucking goat.

[@jonmakesbeats]

lol if they hit me up I would have

[@paradockz]

@@jonmakesbeats the difference is you would have made some fucking music on it!!!

[@hypebeastdad]

@@jonmakesbeatsthey should have.

[@tmherbamate]

Everytime someone mentions an S950, I hear large professor say “put it in the S950 then stretch it”

[@jonmakesbeats]

Classic line

[@joshdrift4374]

Love it when Jon starts noodling around

[@jessestrobel2]

Ugh! Perfection. Your channel is an absolute treat Got me entertaining getting an Octatrack. Having fun with dedicated sequencers/samplers though

[@blato4515]

A new jonmakesbeats upload is always a highlight of my week

[@Tapez]

the slowed down part can be a whole song on its own ily jon

[@kirkstate]

Brooooo this is craaaaazy fuego 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@calicookstunes6530]

Definitely my favourite beat guy at the moment. Cheers!

[@thealessi]

Damn. Youre looking good, man. Initially wasnt sure if that was you in the thumbnail.

[@gabriel_facedown]

This is super sad and melodic I love it

[@peakingmantis5331]

the chorus on this thing sounds so full and warm

[@daevgg]

watching you work is so inspiring, thanks for taking the time to share your process with us

[@oluaoMAIszika]

looking good brother! great video

[@willybobo8846]

best producer on youtube...

[@joldschool64]

What! 😲

[@NTD2827]

Next time, you should make a video where you have to incorporate guitar effect pedals

[@Rascaduanok]

I really like the slowed-down version. Appeals to the Hip-Hop lover part of me.

[@iancain6647]

Always Beasty my guy.

[@emilepadilla2825]

SO GOOD TO SEE THIS MAN ALIVE BRO

[@slackstarfish8133]

Man you gotta produce for some spitters cuz these beats you’ve been making are so amazing and textured

[@Ypsteve311]

Really appreciate your creativity and music. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to That's OK. Anyways, you're the man. Keep doin' what you're doin'.

[@maeskaz1091]

Slowing down with tape always hits the sweet spot for me

[@clintfoster23]

Another great beat to catch on Patreon, thanks Jon!

[@jonmakesbeats]

It’s available there right now!

[@NeverToBeSeenAgain]

damn I would have scrolled right past that break for being too fast, sounded dope slowed down with the S950

[@Umka9]

Dope as always!

[@RareBrink]

dope as always

[@Surowo]

Jon, this is so good!

[@baboothehumantree641]

[@manatee_flips6811]

[@SchoolofRockNRoll]

[@ColoredTonalities-yt8bw]

[@wolfofwallmart]

[@BotchedGod]

[@KellyWayneJason]

You’re a huge inspiration man! Started my own channel. Thank you!

[@jjbing3]

Dope!!!

[@krs-fltutorials4487]

that beat was crazzzyyyy

[@PSKYNETBeats]

Appreciate the videos big dog!

[@NealCaen]

With the new Digitakt 2 released I feel more comfortable following in your footsteps and getting myself a Octarack 2 knowing there’s no Mk3 on the horizon 😂

[@texxel1787]

i love you bro

[@moresnqp]

big aphex twin vibes! especially that weird vocal!

[@SilkKuts]

Dope as usual 👊🏽

[@cthulholmhastur5317]

Jon, do u have a clip where u run down all your studio gear? Thx! And btw that loop is sick AF!

[@joe7909]

So cool, thanks for a cool video

[@JazMystic1]

This was so fucking dope. In. Sane 🔥🔥🔥

[@permanentfacelessness]

here goes…

[@crime_wavcorp]

fire

[@ChaosBeforeOrder]

Goat!!!

[@iamtrevorlang]

Are you doing the maintenance on the Tascam yourself? Have a couple reel to reel and a multitrack cassette recorder but I haven’t pulled the trigger on one of those yet because I wouldn’t even really know where to start if it broke… demagnetizing and cleaning is the extent of my knowledge. I have substituted using a 2 track reel 2 reel paired with a vintage Tascam M-30 so I’m sure the sound I’m getting is pretty damn close but these things just feel like recording in the golden age of music making…

[@rustnepoteter]

banger

[@oliwiergawlik_]

yeah, and there is my sunshine during this shitty day

[@oliwiergawlik_]

thanks

[@oliwiergawlik_]

i'm playing live set thit sat. on my digitakt, and i feel scared...

[@iceteazer8028]

​@@oliwiergawlik_ you got this :')

[@FairchlldMusic1]

You’ve got a lot of gear, but generally see you going to Octatrack and that synth. Do you find much use for the other hardware? Is it day job related? Thanks for the awesome vid

[@abumansaray6054]

MF Doom would sound amazing on this 😮

[@rorz999]

I am still light years away from making beats as good as yours 😭

[@NTD2827]

Have you done any industrial/ noisy beats yet?

[@PUKEYTATTOOS]

Real life wizardry

[@Gymae]

I wanna say it's drone camera. or something meant to give such disoriented feel because we don't look at thangs dat way. plus I think he has the camera upside down in dat angle too.

[@twinstereo]

Old school Jon style lol

[@TheJiceyjuice]

Make us a remix of AFRAID OF US !! This track is sooo sick !!!!!

[@dakotablair326]

I swear there is a stealth "Cool" Cube sound at 5:57

[@schnoodlevideo]

;)

[@ambeatstv9848]

🔥🔥🔥

[@theobnard]

i love your videos!

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks Theo

[@neovanit]

inspiring. have you tried no input mixing?

[@jonmakesbeats]

No but I’m down to try it

[@CRAETION_]

dope video man! what kinda headphones are you using here?

[@pakreht1487]

Just discovered you, the music you make is amazing, is there any place i can listen to it ?? Edit : Just reached the outro, its on Patreon only is that right ?

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks! Yeah all of the things I make for the channel are streamable and downloadable via the Patreon.

[@jeruffleupagus]

May I ask how many tracks you're recording to the 388? Not just 2 right? Dope stuff. Have a similar setup except w a 60/ 950 setup and we've been using Vestax MR-66 or other cassette 4-tracks to warm up. Have the 388 though that we need to sell and/or use. Would like to use the 950/60 sends and track out our beats is why I'm asking.

[@konkilla3]

i almost started writing bars in the comments 🔥🔥🔥

[@eridanisound]

I liked it, forgot, and tried to like it again. 😂

[@masterresonax6642]

Didn’t know the prophet had granular capabilities

[@jonmakesbeats]

It’s technically not granular as it never deals with “grains”. But there’s a lot of control over start and end points coinciding with looping

[@saunatvofficial]

Hey Jon! This track is dope!!!! We'd love for you to come on our show as a guest and cook up with us!

[@Etcher]

Akai S950 - a man after my own heart

[@jonmakesbeats]

Hell yeah

[@jaykay4288]

How do you layer sounds so well? How do you know which sounds go well together? Does it take a while to find that 2nd or 3rd sound?

[@nalinjain7343]

whatdo you think of digitakt 2

[@iandavidson6530]

Jungle warfare cd 1

[@The_Navigator07]

🤌

[@oliwiergawlik_]

what's your thoughts on digitakt II?

[@jonmakesbeats]

I have none. Need to play with one first…

[@JoshuaBarnes-tz2rt]

Do you sell beats?

[@SLBMaestro]

Synth?

[@Muuukexid]

Bro u lost hella weight good shit

[@thaterasound]

Idk why the keys remind me a little of LONGLIVESTEELO

[@grandmas7882]

yeah!!!! NO PRESETS!

[@fantasticsituation9461]

have you thought about making a jonwayne discord? would be great for musicians and beatmakers who follow your work to discuss the craft

[@jonmakesbeats]

There’s a JMB discord available to Patreon members! Would love to have you there

[@x444ffgsrplgjasgh]

Кач

[@CF565]

Am I the only one who found the camera angle above the synth a bit disorienting? The way it's pitched out in front and angled back inward seems really unnatural imo. It might also be the lack of negative space, with the machine taking up the entire frame. Just my 2c, still love the content.

[@cvltzilla]

Most people listen with their ears.

[@victory-tq6vv]

Damn a whole lot of geek speak you talk to much average homie doesn't have equipment options old-school is a Casio & whatever drum machine you can buy on the cheap or borrow from your boy

[@jonmakesbeats]

Lmao
