[@breakerrormusic]

man, because of content like this i'm still loving YT. some real value - thank you a lot!

[@elusivepassages]

I love how much knowledge you share. Even though I don't have Ableton, I use your lessons & techniques with Studio one.

[@russelledwards2405]

I am trying to apply these to studio one as well. Took me a minute to figure out how to import rex files with midi intact

[@STRANJAH]

This is great to hear and yes, unless I am doing a video specifically on Live, you can take what you learn and apply to your DAW of choice. I never want anyone to feel they must use Ableton, as they should use what is comfortable for them and gets them the results they are after. It is the all about getting the final track to be the best it can be, not what software was used to create it!

[@STRANJAH]

Good to hear that you are taking what I am teaching and applying it in your own way, to whatever DAW you are using as it shouldn't matter and the producer should use the tools that works for them!

[@ShadyRonin]

Hey man, I just want to say a huge thanks for helping me get into producing this genre of music. I've studied your videos for about 2 years now you're seriously a hero of mine!!

[@STRANJAH]

My pleasure and thanks for letting me know! I am humbled by these comments and glad that people are able to take away valuable info, to apply to their own tracks. Keep practicing and you are bound to come out with some great tracks! Best of luck with your musical journey!

[@ShadyRonin]

@@STRANJAHthanks man, will do!!! Appreciate you and your videos so much, so thank you again. Some day when I hope I can give back to the community myself, I’ll be telling people to watch your videos then too!

[@visagemsc]

I see no one talking about the break in Isaac Hayes - Breakthrough and it breaks my heart. Absolutely solid break and about 60% of a drumkit in 4 bars. I'm pretty sure you can make an Indie Pop song with just that for drums

[@STRANJAH]

I'm feeling inspired to do another one of these videos, with all new breaks, so there is still time. I will keep this one in mind! Thanks for the suggestion!

​@STRANJAH this comment section has been going crazy.

[@STRANJAH]

I know! I think I hit on a popular topic with this one! Definitely going to work on another follow up video now!

[@cybomeld]

The Think Break was always my favourite in liquid drum and bass. When I found out it was from the late 1900s and the history of liquid drum and bass, it made the music so much more satisfying and eye opening

[@STRANJAH]

The think break definitely is a classic and always sounds good and never gets old! I really like how it layers with other breaks too. Not only does it sound well on its own, but its shakers fill in so many other breaks, especially the Amen!

[@g0ste]

Its odd to hear the 90s referred to as "late 1900s" hahaha

[@STRANJAH]

😂

[@cybomeld]

@@g0ste Lyn Collins released her song in 1972! Many breaks were 1960s-1990s :D

[@g0ste]

@@cybomeld Yep it was. I have many of the original records in my awkwardly named "music that makes the music i listen to" collection, and lyn collin's think is part of that. sorry for the confusion, I thought you were referring to the evolution of dnb from the early days - i.e. the 90s onwards as the late 1900s (as opposed to the original break's release date). I should have probably read it properly - but thank you - i am now referring to anything from the 1970 and onwards as "late 1900s" hahaha

[@asimov1979]

the left and right microphones are represented by what is known as stereo field, yes you got that part right, but when you select a left in utility you're actually selecting the left recorded channel of the stereo field, because the fields they overlap each other, it's more of like an EQ value when the original 70s recording was made, and of course they used tape machines back then to record, it was all analog. it's close to what you said but even more nuanced.

[@STRANJAH]

Thanks for the finer details. I was just generalizing, but good to know the deeper facts as well!

[@MattyFez]

The shaker section of Think has a very nice snare at the start that was often used by Photek and Source Direct.

Nice , you should do a video on 2nd gen Breaks! Like, Kid n Play - Do this my way (Think), Young MC - Know How (Apache) Big Daddy Kane - Raw (Hot pants) Paris - Make Way For The Panther (Life could).

[@STRANJAH]

Well this is just it. Some like to criticize and comment about how I am talking about these breaks now in 2024, but to many, this is new to them, as they weren't around back in the day. The breaks are still used religiously to this day and can still sound fresh and funky, so what is the issue?

[@drudj]

I follow you and Fanu for jungle production stuff and I noticed he does a similar thing with stretching each hit but instead uses the loop function in Sampler, which also gives it a tail. Good stuff, thanks for the breaks!

[@STRANJAH]

Does this technique sound as natural and artifact free, as doing it in Recycle? Sounds like I need to check this method out. It is likely more time consuming this way? Do you have a link to this technique, so I can see? Thanks for the insight!

[@drudj]

@@STRANJAH it sounds like his drums, if that makes sense. Sounds good though. But def. more time consuming. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aorUhmh9i6mGZ9U

[@phonomena]

Thanks so much for this Stranjah, I’ve watched it twice already and am about to watch it again, I’ve learned so many new things from it. I had been using audio for breaks with a lot going on in them as I was getting those artifacts when slicing them as midi, now I know how to do it properly! At 5:45, I wonder if there’s an option within Ableton that has a similar effect, I’m using a pretty old PC at the moment so things run more smoothly working within the box. Once again thanks mate!

[@STRANJAH]

Thanks so much for all the support and I am glad you are spending the time to watch this as many times as needed, in order to get all you can from it! To answer your question, no, unfortunately there is no means to get the 'gapless' playback in audio if you slice your breaks with anything other than ReCycle. Even though the software is 25 years old, it still holds the crown in this regards. You can certainly slice in all modern software, but it won't sound as clean and artifact free, unfortunately. Since you say you are running an older PC, ReCycle will run PERFECTLY on it, as it was designed to run back on Windows 98. You will have to purchase a license, though. Worth it if you ask me, but it is money you have to be willing to spend, to get these results.

[@phonomena]

Thank you for your reply! I will get a licence for ReCycle, it sounds so clean the way you were doing it and allows so much more control. I didn’t know a lot of those tricks you were doing existed haha. I recently got the Amigo plugin to get my drums sounding a little more 93, I need to watch your vid on that too!

[@STRANJAH]

I think you made the right choice. It definitely brings you much flexibility and control over your breaks and maintaining sound quality while that that, is paramount. Definitely check out my Amigo videos. I have two actually, one when the plugin first came out and recently, I did another on the V 2.0 update. Both are worth a watch!

[@dedstreem]

Just wanted to mention, the title card for the sesame break says sandy instead of sesame. Not really a huge deal but I thought I would mention it in case you want to fix it. Brilliant video btw. Also thank you, I downloaded the breaks and there were a couple which are better quality than what I already had. Cheers :)

[@STRANJAH]

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I will have to look into that. You are most welcome too and thank you for taking the time to check the video out!

[@andyblitz6056]

Quality tutorial and knowledge 👌 big thanks for the all the links

[@TWNTYKNOTS]

Starting off with the Hot Pants (my personal fave break) is strong. I have all these breaks and more, and I use them to add a bit of thickness to my drum patterns. One break you don't see often is the forbidden break/PH break. I think it's because people don't see it as a breakbeat, but if you slice it up, you can get some neat patterns, especially with the triplet kicks and the mouseclick sound.

[@STRANJAH]

Nice suggestion! I agree, the key is to not always focus on straight up breakbeats, but use any source that when spliced, processed and manipulated, can be used as either a breakbeat on its own, or as a nice compliment to other loops.

Nice vid! If I use FL Studio is it really worth to buy your production suite? I feel I may loose many content :S

[@STRANJAH]

Hi and thanks for your interest in our products, primarily the Production Suite Bundle. If you are using FL Studio (or any DAW for that matter), you would be perfectly fine. Most of those packs are Sample Packs, which are compatible with all DAW on the market. All of the Ableton kits also come with WAV (sample) variants, so you don't lose anything there, either. In summary, you will have 100% compatibility, with no loss due to using FL Studio with the Production Suite Bundle. Reach out to [e-mail] if you have any further questions!

[@senseofawemusic]

Hi Stranjah, maybe you already did it but can you review how to make basslines like Jonny L’s Sam … stuff like that. Im sure its based on a distorted 808 sample but maybe you could go deep into it more. Thank you for dropping all the knowledge!

[@STRANJAH]

I'll see what I can dig up and put out on this topic!

[@senseofawemusic]

@ nice. Ive been thinking a lot about it. Some of my thoughts are ….Bass to Kick ratio , small kick and big 808 distorted bass ? Eqed kick to more of a midrange sound, leave the sub for the 808 , compression, distortion, saturation, eq, sidechain, what key works best….Theres just some magic in tunes like this! It seems to sound great on most sound system as well. Maybe there is something to the old school way of doing things….anyways Thanks for getting back to me. Also Sully does an awesome job of this sound…ofcourse he is a much more modern producer.

It was great to hear that other genres were also sampling and using these breaks, sometimes many years before hardcore and Jungle were even a thing.

[@googleboughtmee]

You know it as the sandy/sandman break because that name comes from the 2nd gen version off the 90's UK record Mr. Sandman. I think most old hardcore and jungle used 2nd gen breaks, nobody had 70's funk records laying around so they grabbed them from more recent hip-hop, hardcore, sample cds, whatever. Those versions already sounded fat too! For example Ray Keith and Bizzy B have both mentioned that their Amen came from Mantronix - King of the Beats.

Quite shocked to see recycle still being used in 2024 😮 thought modern DAWs would have this functionality now!?

[@STRANJAH]

Well that is just it! Yes, all modern DAW have full slicing functionality, but none are able to create the tails that Recycle does, so you will still get the gaps present if you pitch and speed up the loops. It's a shame really, that a 25 year old program is still needed to do this, but Recycle really is fantastic and I do still use it to this day, as do many other artists!

[@STRANJAH]

Thank you! After being in the game for so long and having so many releases in the past, it is nice to hear that I still got it! 😅

[@tempeff8670]

Ha, I'm not the only one still using ReCycle!

[@STRANJAH]

Nope and you are a Don for still doing so! 💪

[@vladimirgalkin23]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@user-qx7tm5df8j]

i like the relaxed way you speak but I'd prefer a little faster

[@foodstampz]

Listen to new Krugah tracks..he uses all these breaks mixed together..real good jungle.

[@bort_o]

looks like i'm making some jungle today

[@STRANJAH]

Best of luck and have fun! ✊

[@robertschmidbauer7425]

Recycle doesn't work on the latest Apple Systems... Propellerhead and Native Instruments discontinued to support it anymore. And no single other app to fill this gap. Unbelievable in the year 2024. I'm kind of desperate. For any hints regarding to convert breakbeats to Rex files I would be more than thankful!

[@STRANJAH]

It really is too bad, I know. Windows systems are always supported, because they use off the shelf CPU that are always backwards compatible. Apple tries too hard, in always changing things up and it ends up leaving a large portion of their user base in the past, when this happens. Recycle is super old now. It really could use a massive update, in terms of GUI, algorithm and even newer MAC support. That would be amazing!

Check out this guy, telling us everything we already knew back in 95

[@STRANJAH]

Check out this guy, checking out the video and leaving a comment, keeping the algorithm going for me! Thanks a ton veteran!

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Hey, check this guy, so behind the times. He comes in here beating his chest about... 1995? Where have you been? Most knew about these breaks, since AT LEAST 1992!

[@STRANJAH]

😅

[@segaplaystation]

this is my bible

[@hellf.o]

MASSIVE

[@sebprovision]

Fsr out, I forgot you can time stretch right inside the timeline now lol Good reminder

[@STRANJAH]

Ya, it is easy to forget these little things at times. So much going on with updates and changes to all the software over time.

[@fenexj]

6:17 it's what now?!

[@lafluerpeter9]

I'm sure the sandy break was in truely one. The sesame is in Tom and Jerry - Maximum style.

[@STRANJAH]

If you listen hard, now that you know what the breaks are, I'm sure you will hear it in LOADS of tracks back then, without even realizing it! There was very minimal resources back then, so everyone was using whatever they could get their hands on and even directly and blatantly sampling from each other to get the goods!

[@outaspaceman]

It was real time consuming doing this sort of thing on an Akai S2000..😟

[@STRANJAH]

Oh I bet, especially on the particular model that had the smallest screen of them all!

[@ownageDan]

my #1 is the TrAmen (which funnily enough should be more accurately called Domen lol)

[@STRANJAH]

LOL. I would love to do a video on that... but not sure how well it would go over, considering how this went in the past! 😂

[@GolabKitsForTR-8s]

Don't wake Up the Caveman😅

[@Frhnaulya]
