stop using amen breaks (make your own instead)

[@FatSynthDude]

That's a cool technique, but if somebody's looking for an amen sample, they probably want that exact sequence and punchiness to chop up.

[@canaryworkshop]

That’s a fair point! the title was mostly meant to be tongue-in-cheek, I definitely still use amen breaks every now and then too

[@FatSynthDude]

@@canaryworkshop You know what else is tongue-in-cheek? Analingus.

If I use a break I’ll adjust it to 95% done & then slowly replace all the instruments with my own samples.

Nice work man! Just found your channel with the Amigo video you put up a week or two back. Definitely going to give this a go!

[@canaryworkshop]

[@glorpcommander]

Can you make a tutorial on making a jungle/breakcore?

[@canaryworkshop]

I’ll add that to the list of video ideas!

[@nawothnig]

wow! pls more guides like this!

[@asumas1]

good video bro, make a tutorial for the final chords please there are so cool!!!!!!!!

[@S0L3N01D]

The way I see it, if you can imediately recognise the Amen Break at face value then it's boring. But if the break is blended well with other sounds that you don't initially notice it at first, those are the good ones

[@stevewoywitka3258]

Technically you need acoustic instruments And from that building the groove, resampling it and chopping up

[@canaryworkshop]

very true - it could actually be quite fun to try and recreate classic breaks as closely as possible!

[@donnydarko7624]

pitching individual drum hits up and down no more than 30 cents, changing each drum hits length and velocity, then adding some flanger and reverb helps glue it all together too. Also Add some swing for god sakes.

Think Break > Amen Break do not change my mind because you'd be wrong

[@canaryworkshop]

i can get behind this, especially with the "yeah! WOO!" vocals 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@LprBreaksSurgeon]

@@canaryworkshop Personally, I like the third break of Think Break, which sound like "poogen" in the first kick drum

[@rdubb77]

Why not both? It takes two to make a track go right

[@12DAMDO]

@@rdubb77 actually i did something like that on something i made previously but i don't remember the songname

[@rdubb77]

@@12DAMDO cool, but I was under the impression that a lot of DnB layer both the think and the amen. They at least switch between them, then sometimes even have both going or take chops of either and interpolate them

[@Arron_Mottram]

Nah, digital drums suck, they sound too plastic
