[@jasonm2279]

i find it interesting, how such ridiculously simple, overused and similar drum patterns can be diversified with the touch of a confident control over velocity. If you can allow a drum to breath and sing itself like this it makes a common pattern seem more personalized. Great stuff.

[@kyleog17]

honestly took me years to get this down pat well said

[@Hidd3nAudio]

very true, your grooves become more natural, snappy, well said.

[@Byronic19134]

I now find it annoying how lazy producers are especially today in hip hop by having their hi hats be the same velocity instead of changing it to create a natural swing.

[@postRMO]

yeah when you realise how subtle you can be its an eye opener

[@bontempo1271]

@@postRMO heres the thing, the music production market is so saturated, sadly it means that when we discover something - we should keep it to ourselves :P

[@KilmaTempa]

Oh gosh, thats so smart slowing down the track go record. Gonna try that next!! Thanks.

[@brownbearbeats6979]

Kilma Tempa it really works do it all the time now when making a garage track.

[@TheChelseaGrinder]

MJ COLE's Sincere is what got me into electronic music at all, big SO

[@boss11313]

How has KZbin only just recommend me this video like 3 YEARS AFTER IT BEEN MADE LOL. This tutorial is lit AF 🔥🔥‼️

[@natemonster]

This guy is a genius.. I was 14 years old when I discovered his album "sincere", i'm 32 now and still lovin' his works.. I remember earing this album while reading Gunm manga.. it was a great combo...

[@akirathedon]

AMAZING COMBO 💯💯💯💯

[@phantom_him]

Watching this made me remember I used to do this slowing down the audio thing to record about 12 years ago and totally forgot about. Have to start doing that again. Really dope 2 part video. Cool guy too.

[@megarachne3000]

can’t believe this even exists on youtube. what a gem.

[@pointblankmusicschool]

What a lovely comment for us to receive!

[@WORKRECANDPLAY]

"What a selection of hats!" 😁 The rhodes part was marvellous. Big up, Matt!

[@anthonyoneill3144]

Such a talent, would love to learn how to make music like this. Uk Garage favourite producer for sure

[@squidlid]

Wicked track

[@blueeyedboxer20008]

slowing it down to record MIDI, what a good idea!

[@Kudakeys]

2:03 even the vein on his head is a waveform

[@FSwiftDJ]

Jake Griffiths that's from making gems in the garage scene,. Matlok anyway, b rocket, talk to me, treat me right boxclever , skill & talent even his dub of sincere, the drum programming on the mpc with that swing level, all them hats & rims shuffling in groove

[@dylvasey]

Hahahahahaha. Brilliant.

[@dastardlyman]

that track called "sincere" was just wonderful.

[@Mumbojumbo20]

One of the best Logic X tutorials I've ever seen, throw in a Garage track just for a bit of flavour!

[@LocaliLLocano]

Thanks for making this vid. I ended up buying the sound pack. I also learned to record my patterns at 80bpm on the Mpc studio and speed it up to 130. Life has been different ever since

[@kaafaa5944]

ho :o

[@Dyo17192]

Genius. I love these ethereal kinds of tunes

[@DJMKasapoglu]

MJ COLE He's the Master still LOVE his tunes

[@nicolesproducerpack]

Been working on some garage music myself lately - wow, this music is amaaazzingggg 😍🎵🎹

[@Dubbsteppa21]

He makes everything look effortless

[@ttttiiimmy10bit]

MJ Cole is the best at these guides.

[@Kadenxe]

This was a masterpiece

[@lookmomonlycomputer]

2 years later discovert this tutorial ... incredible

[@lozoft9]

It sounds so much better recorded into his mic tbh. I wish he added a bit of saturation to give the feeling like it was coming out of some old speakers.

[@peoplelikeus123]

This man is simply a genius.

[@Made0nEarth]

i love this kind of production videos ;)

[@petertelinde130]

Mr. Cole, you go the flow like know one I know

[@sram993]

Thanks for such an insightful video. Amazing to watch how fast you work, struggled to keep up! So relaxing watching someone play keys.

[@ephjaymusic]

Beautiful stuff! This is just outstanding! What an inspiration!

[@foodstampz]

Great interview with him.

[@aquaman9164]

Master at Work

[@ourmindzdj]

Pretty cool he still hasn’t lost his magic. Smoove is still my favourite MJ Cole track

[@arnoldfranco9240]

soo good

[@MrblondeBEAST]

those rhoooodessss!

[@DJEAZYB]

Great insight! This guy is in my top 3 Garage producers of all time

[@maccagrabme]

Who are the other two?

[@DJEAZYB]

Groove Chronicles and Sunship ... heres a few of my other favourites too: Wookie Antonio Bump & Flex Club Asylum

[@Kee-Lo]

DJ EAZY B Danny J Lewis and Jeremy Sylvester for me.

[@FB-mw5gv]

Got to love a bit of Sticky as well

[@TheEugeep]

Todd

[@_thomaswarburton]

Liked before I even watched it.. It did not disappoint.

[@The-Househeads]

Is this released yet ? CAUSE.... I really love it. !!!!!

[@brianvassell526]

Mmmmm absolutely the business easy mjc

[@avantoneavantone5826]

Thanks

[@maximyunitsky193]

This video amazingly expand flow of my beat processing, thank you!;-)

[@edglue6138]

Amazing

[@badformatuk]

You killed it man!!

[@350125]

Nice beat

[@Blackstamos]

Thanks for Sharing.

[@спасиботебедружок]

Pretty cool beat

[@ViralKiller]

I always do Synths, bassline and lead synth first...drums last

[@joebenjamin7465]

With mix-heavy oriented genres such as techno/garage/dnb etc you can afford to lay out your drum patterns early on, then tweak them later, because the track is more likely to be heard in a DJ set, rather than as it's own piece of music or in an album narrative setting

[@joebenjamin7465]

Also some would say you should always do drums last, but music is completely subjective and as such so is the creation of it

[@Larpeggio]

weirdo.

[@eric-vu1jy]

U SHUD MAKE A GROOVE FIRST BRO (BEATS/BASSLINE) SO IT BANGS 🔥

[@unleasheth]

MJ Cole > J Cole, any day of the week

[@eceera]

I laughed so hard, "maybe we should have a bass of some sort" and then cut to a bland low frequency sound immediately haha x

[@d_lala]

fantastique

[@julian.castro18]

genius

[@iJoxy]

17:30 makes it look so easy

[@incsism5972]

This King and Duncan Powell are the Dons of UKG..IMO

[@akalui007]

Does he have no bass in the section with the rhodes? Is it common for it just to be a beat and and progression like this?

[@euanlaughlin3697]

sick tutorial! almost definitely will be buying the pack however does anyone know if the pack comes with one shot piano/synth samples as opposed to just loops? struggling to create garage vibey piano sound through logic synthesisers. or if anyone has any suggestions on which synthesiser is best to use to create these sounds it would be much appreciated!

[@justindiaz4980]

Is this track downloadable anywhere ????

[@BurstoMusic]

Good stuff this, thanks

[@telli6931]

What chord voicing is he using on the Rhodes ?? 🔥🔥🔥

[@MrJonesdj]

muito bom!! very good!!

[@blackcorridors]

16:19 on-wards sounds like a garage take on Smells like teen spirit

[@diegocostaonline]

great! wasn't expecting something great on the fly

[@patrickrushton]

Great video, but what's with the annoying white flashes every few seconds? I guess the editor applied some effect to make us think there's a team of photographers in the studio, but left it on during the screen caps.

[@BetweenBeatsNDreams]

legend

[@DeanMiller1984]

does that rhodes piano come with the sample pack? 😂

[@collettstudio5419]

what software are you using

[@moritz9848606]

is this track available anywhere?

[@benbrooker]

3:23 cracked me up

[@spoony01428]

yeah I thought it was a sample he had in there saying seleectaa or something lool

[@currie_uk]

What MIDI controller is he using?

[@JL-nk1pc]

His garage sound was a bit too refined and sophisticated for my taste. Clever guy.

[@yarmouthiow]

A good description, yes it is.

[@OntarioBirding7538]

What’s song called

[@mekinis]

Damn this was dope !

[@FSwiftDJ]

true legend in music production I think only producer close is K Warren , listen to Masqurade Mj Cole mixes fantastic !! then listen to K Warren remix, Out of this world !!! but I always prefer the Matlok or Boxclever or the DUB Mj Cole myself over the vocal 2 step bits of late, those who know will know, the Drums n b-line on his wild side dub on sincere was crazy, if you heard that in club back in late 98 even "be sincere" or matlok anyway drop !!! ruff tunes , unfortunately sincere 2002 didn't feature the wild side dub , talkin loud label, the dubs was in 98 on Am Pm label , matt is legend !!

[@DeanMiller1984]

flava fever & i need you love 99 are my favourites, k warren is a don also

[@franzkano8851]

I was wondering what that bowed arrow means in some midi regions. Can someone tell me please?

[@eluherlu]

Nice workflow

[@dace3209]

i am 14 and have been doing music for 2 years now. if i can go here. it would be amazing

[@gr4hamm]

follow your dreams dude! you'll be a good artist by the time you're old enough to go there if you stick with it!

[@miss.antidote]

Hows Your progress? its nearly 2019 now :)

[@andrewthiselton5118]

I made a track based on this and I'm 15.

[@Joey_mala]

The don

[@terrz321]

I'm inspired not sleeping tonite

[@diamondgeorge7460]

31.29 Guys.... What are those Brown Speakers MJ is pushing?

[@simonhaggis6932]

Geithain 901

[@topofthemornintoya]

That Rhodes

[@darbomusic]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@InZainUK]

19:14 an Rnb classic was born :o

[@spudmcqueen]

This tutorial would be so much more useful if it was done in a DAW people actually use

[@justinr420]

what chair is that

[@LewisFullerHouse]

what socks is he wearing

[@andrewthiselton5118]

31:29

[@eric-vu1jy]

CHEK OUT EL-B

[@Hassanhadi2607]

U know it’s mj Cole when u hear the e piano🤣

[@BurstoMusic]

What is the shortcut used @ 2:16 please? To select the take and flatten the capture recordings... anyone know?

[@BurstoMusic]

Found it, it's Alt, Shift + U if anyone's interested.

[@Byronic19134]

Am I the only one who felt like as amazing a quickie this was it sounded even better at a lower BPM?

[@captainjackrana]

the beat is much more groovy at the 80bpm mark

[@InZainUK]

2:29 eeaaassyyyy now mj :')

[@maxode3042]

Sound like the song basketball lol

[@baronvonbeandip]

Only problem with the video is that the camera keeps pointing at him instead of the screen

[@supralevamentum223]

common problem with these higher end tutorials i find ;)

[@eric-vu1jy]

THEYRE SELING A SAMPLE PACK AND COLEY IS THE MODEL 😛

[@hollunderboy]

Really good video, but the Banshee is annoying.

[@tensevo]

Anyone else triggered by the sub on the table?

[@Byronic19134]

lol that an the OP-1. Really wish he fired up that moog tho.

[@Trooper900100]

you guys used to have good videos. not anymore

[@Robert-dt3is]

Isn’t this more 2-step than UK garage? Uk garage has that 4 to the floor with some shuffling, 2-step is mostly shuffling drums with that off beat kick drum.

[@mrzekopeko]

tf

[@joebenjamin7465]

This is pure garage mate lay off the rock 😂 a tutorial video by a renowned garage artist from the golden era of UKG and you're trying to say its not garage? 😂

[@eric-vu1jy]
