[@sawyerfarrell4594]

wow, this guy is not only a expert in house music, but extremely gifted with his communication style. thank you

[@Gensing1991]

dude this guy knows how to explain things. more of this guy please point blank

[@ragnarroeck]

@DeeJay1210 Gods do not necessarily know how to teach, this one does.

[@MartinJovanovic]

@@ragnarroeck that

[@renechang2406]

He has a serious tone to his voice that Garner's attention and respect but it's in stereo.Meaning his voice is not boring or monotone.Has energy to it Plus I like his speech flow.Agreed.

[@udance4ever]

@9:46 "house is a feeling" - mad respect!

[@mpunkth]

23 Minutes of basic-house-knowledge nobody should miss! Love it!

[@josefdvorak9516]

Yes really...

[@tekout864]

What a legend. He's got the passion for what he does and does it so well. The best drum programming tutorial I've seen, simply explained but also with the added insight into why working this way will give you an instantly recognisable house flavour!

[@Archos1988]

Just found this now and I never really comment, but now i wanted to say something because you deserve it It's amazing how concise, profound and easy digestible content you are creating. If I had found this 5years ago. I would have started producing 5years ago. You have a soul and voice of a teacher 😄

[@Iredidv]

This must be one of the best tutorials on producing i have seen, and i have seen a lot of them. Great information with the background knowledge, extraordinairy explanation, well made vid. Looking out for that 2nd techno part :) Well done James, well done. F9 audio rules!

[@pointblankmusicschool]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@electrik_blue]

I wish every teacher I ever had, were as good explaining things and making them interesting such James does. Thanks Point Blank for creating these videos!

[@NumSound]

James is a great producer & an eloquent teacher. Thank you for the Indepth look at swing. Bravo!

[@THEH0WLER87]

why can't youtube be filled with videos like this....brilliantly presented

[@GLORYZONE92]

can't believe how much Phil Mitchell loves his house music

[@twelvepetaledlotus1721]

Nathan McAuley hes largin it up under the arches.."RICKKKKKY"

[@F9Audio]

Sadly yes I've ended up halfway between Phil Mitchell and Heston Blumenthal later in life .. Bizarrely saw Steve McFadden whilst Djing at the old Chuff Chuff parties ( luckily not in any kind of transit van/ Carpark orientated incident ) .. He was a horrible sexual predator looking for women who might be at all taken with his so called fame .. Meanwhile his 'mates' caused the only fight ever to happen at a Chuff Chuff event - Horrible man ... Now it appears Heston's been on a 2 year long bender ( allegedly ) taking just about any narcotic he could get his mitts on and will probably soon end up on the front pages checking into rehab for addiction to 'Prescription Painkillers' ... No idea what's happening to us baldies out there ... !

[@renaissancemusicllc9804]

Nathan McAuley I've never heard of him, but I'm definitely going to do some research on him. Lol

[@dimitripetrenko9734]

Nathan McAuley i think Music in general

[@66KhzProductions]

@@F9Audio Wow, great reply :D lol made me laugh so much.

[@DavidBoura]

This couldn't have been better done, and special kudos to the crab'meraman!

[@jimboyacer7267]

Winner of a video, been searching for "video camera tips" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Piyason Videographic Ventures - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great results with it.

[@FACEandLMS]

Once you made me see it, I couldn't unsee it.

[@thedudegamezzz]

Been making music since 2009 and then I took a massive break for 5 years. Seeing this video and going over the basics again is refreshing and motivating. Great video to anyone getting into house music production or just production in general. Simple explanations, great tips and important knowledge.

[@RYOKER]

So Thankful for finding this.

[@DeepDoseMusic]

This is what mastery looks like. To teach so casually and be so concise

[@KrisN96]

Such a helpful tutorial. I have been producing for almost 6 years, and still learned so freaking much from this

[@belleandtheboombox9335]

ITS BEEN SAID OVER AND OVER BELOW- THIS VID IS SO PACKED WITH WONDERFULL STUFF. THANKYOU JAMES!

[@Phantasma999]

909's are my way to go with drums. Been using emulating drum machines for that. This video (and part one of) are really good. Cheers to everyone using 909's out there.

[@Emguilar]

this is hands down one of the best tutorials on house music I'Ve ever found. Thank you so much for your help

[@burn_after_reading]

This guy is amazing! So much knowledge and knows how to express it clearly.

[@official2tan]

I believe there are people on this world payed to unlike videos. Brilliant guy, awesome bits of advice, fantastic work and immense knowledge and know how. Impossible to hit a dislike button on a video like this on free will.

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

Simply beautiful! Great teaching skills and it is amazingly compelling to see how piece by piece this tune gets constructed. Lots of interesting tips and things to get our heads around.

[@aneri72]

This guy is truly inspirational. Love his guides. More like this please!

[@RichRobinson]

Wicked video. Great educator. The history is so interesting a relevant. Much appreciated.

[@kimboslice1174]

What a legend, rain down love is a classic

[@brenttauromusic]

Brilliant tutorial! Really helped me wrap my head around the genre. Thanks. :)

[@tothebollocks]

This is simply the best tutorial I've seen, thank you😁

[@user-ck9td1hg9m]

i agree..

[@dimitripetrenko9734]

Curt Fowler exactly

[@lotdproduction]

This was a no bull tutorial series. Why can't more people be so forthright with their information. Great tutorial mate!

[@conormosier8140]

yeah the editing, camera angles, the teacher, sound quality all of it these videos are absolutely amazing.

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Wow, what a video! I stumbled upon it by accident and was totally sucked in! You have such a mellow approach to your presentation and found it a pleasure to watch, sir!

[@funkeinstein]

this is the best series on this channel maybe in all youtube... keep up! and thank you james you are great !

[@planetmusicsamos]

As usual James' tutorials , advices and tips are among the very best you can find on the web !Thank u !!

[@Hiphophouse90]

Indeed a masterful piece of inside knowledge on how to make house !!! Kudos to the man .

[@rufusstewart762]

This is probably one of the only times I've seen a pt.2 tutorial with more views than the 1st. People are so eager to rush through these so they can transfer the knowledge into their productions which we can all understand, but if you're going to literally skip through the history of how the music you love was first made you're missing out on crucial context that will benefit your productions no end. Patience and contextual knowledge will benefit you more than speed and quantitative knowledge.

[@majortrash9190]

"People have a different approach to things, i don't like this"

[@naturesinterface6663]

Part 1 is a brief overview of house music, which isn't much better than reading the wikipedia entry on house. There are probably five or more documentaries on house music on KZbin which have been produced in the last 20 years. People learning about music production today already have immense resources via the internet, and will have passively learned everything presented in Part 1, unless they are literally 12 year olds who first heard edm last Tuesday (and no disrespect to them). Everybody else already knows Franky Knuckles and 909s, and are looking for nitty gritty details and practical production examples.

[@WTINP]

Part 2 came up as a recommended video for me.. i had to click play on pt2 to see pt1 - then click on pt1 and watch before going back to pt2.. ha ha... so thats 2 listens to 1 just from me!!!

[@BoonOng]

This is a great video. A single note, simple notes helps a lot. Literally made me open up more. Thanks!

[@eldjswett]

I’ve been doing this for twenty years and I feel like I need to start all over after seen this fantastic tut.

[@Davewakeham]

Really well presented, If we Djs had access to this stuff back then ! !

[@josephstar4420]

Great video, really flowing i could watch an entire series. Thanks guys for all the hard work that went into. Creating. video.. Hope there will be. More with him.

[@SparatikNess]

Best production videos by far. Thanks for this!

[@BetweenBeatsNDreams]

James is the greatest

[@danieldavis4120]

would love a video on how he layered the 909 kick at 1:10

[@wino23]

Likeable person who's doing this tutorial! English is not my native language but I understood every thing he said. I must start Ableton right now. ^^

[@andre-michelgoulet6933]

Wow, your videos are so well made, keep it up this is fantastic. Love the history bits followed by practice you really know your stuff.

[@stevehenke678]

I've listened to house etc for 25 years but I know absolutely fuck all about music production. But I really enjoy these videos, so thank you.

[@flipletape9706]

THE SHAKERS! It was the shakers I forgot about. Thank you, good sir

[@estebanperera5743]

[@gumbygunderson]

What a fantastic vid! Like a sit down 1-to-1 lesson from an absolute pro - thank you Point Blank

[@caracciologuanipa1786]

Best producing docu-tutorial ever!. Like they say, "Learned all what I needed"..

[@thestever]

This is an amazing series. I love that you get a nice history lesson along with the technical instruction.

[@KingCoCo]

The swing/quantise info was priceless. Thanks!!

[@poliart83]

It it possible to download samples of those wonderful hi-hats?

[@garethmillers5453]

Thank you James and Point Blank. Getting that all down on paper and in Reason and am going to have some fun once done. Once my piano Grades are completed I plan to do an online course. Great Two Part Series with loads of appropriate history. So glad you went into the finer detail of House beat programming and how ''That Sound'' was made b.i.t.d. : )

[@nikolaykorablin1401]

Amazing! Thank you very much! Hope to see more videos from you!

[@remotegod255]

Outstanding! This guy is a phenomenal music instructor!!

[@sliiiimjim]

This was very informative and inspirational, more like this would be great!

[@Glow0110]

Gotta love Point Blank Music School. Always coming with something useful for us!

[@olympiaramirez7119]

Amazing videos, i want to learn everything in this video plus more. House music is a feeling. Thanks! Cheers!

[@brunocristan7047]

Opps i meant to post this on my account instead of my wife's.

[@amolitori]

you just have to love the wa he pronounces "house music" so often

[@zFRANK0]

Well done Sir, an excellent example well executed. Thank you.

[@SafwenBaya]

James you are one heck of a brilliant man

[@moodykid1544]

this is real man explaneing things this so accurate and humble this man deservs medal for his atittude and knowledge

[@zeus1117]

This is truly excellent video! So much knowledge, expertise and practice behind !

[@InfrdMusic]

"house is a feelin" that resonated pretty well with me

[@boazeilander3617]

mind is blown

[@MerlosMusicOfficial]

seriously this guy is just amazing.

[@timetimetimey]

Tremendous video. Beautifully explained. You've got a wonderful way James.

[@undergr0und0]

Seen many tutorials, but this one really stands out!

[@nym053]

I never liked clicky attacks on kickdrums anyways. But another thing I sometimes do is using an eq to accentuate the highs of the kick. In that way you can keep the attack round instead of clicky :)

[@peterbooth6753]

Wow! This is very inspiring.

[@chidamole]

Great videos with James, thanks for these very clearly presented.

[@Dunamis_010]

Such a great lesson! Thanks a bunch for posting! 😊

[@danecustance2734]

Thanks this is great starting point for house music drum pattern production.

[@enensis]

Awesome, So glad I found these videos! Sometimes I don't quantize. I think it keeps that human element.

[@elliet9404]

Thank you for talking about how to get the attack on the 909. I have been frustrated trying to achieve that sound.

[@GuardateDJ]

such a legend... i've been playling so many freemasons tunes

[@KordTaylor]

This is so old-school cool. Great video:

[@markfaermonttv]

Massive! Thanks James

[@Aberration79]

A fantastic reference video, very informative, very well explained video

[@Red-gl2cb]

The real master at work. Its sometimes great to revisit these. Id suggest watching some of reid stefans videos on how to use loops properly. These pros are really about the way u use things. Not the sample or loop. Its HOW u use things. The small things like he says in this video with kickdrums, u can weld them. Like he means literally make your own kicks wwithmultiple 909 samples!!! Its all about layering, how u layer, and timing.learn about latency etc. Commit a few samples. Try Save projects in format trackname.original.number1. Number 2 etc befre u commit. That way u can always edit. But committing is a good thing. Thank u for this amazing tutorial and history lesson. Ive been a dj for 22 years. But only a producer for 13. And man what a ride its been. We are spoilt to have the pros showing us how they did things, and ur way was the way for me. Too many tracks today without beefed up drums and theyre usually great tracks. But lack warmth of yesteryear.

[@option7]

thank you for this great advice!

[@PERRYFALLOWES]

Legend you make it look so easy

[@256k_]

6:27 I've watched this video a couple of times but i just realized at this moment when he quantizes the clip wit h the hihats after playing in the open hats, the swung close hats got quantized back onto the grid and lost all the swing commitment he did earlier

[@lastsonofktn]

Very cool history lesson and beginners guide thanks!

[@WillRobinsonDanger]

OH MY DUDE!!! I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT BEAT, THROW IN SOME NICE CHORDS WITH VOCALS, AND MAKE A BANGER. YOU WILL BRING ME OUT OF THS DROUGHT!!! SOME FRESH WATER!!!!! WE NEED YOU URGENTLY.

[@erikviera9456]

Found my next KZbin binge 🥳

[@eyarouziel3528]

"Yeahh!!!!!! Wooooow!!!!" (Me every time he adds another element to the mix)

[@Kazemijazi]

Thank you

[@HankScorpio94]

Really good video! This guy is a legend would love to see more house production videos from him

[@rbrookes]

[@user-ck9td1hg9m]
