[@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

[@TheChelseaGrinder]

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

[@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 💯💯💯💯

[@megarachne3000]

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

[@pointblankmusicschool]

What a lovely comment for us to receive!

[@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.

[@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.

[@boss11313]

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

[@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.

[@blueeyedboxer20008]

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

[@squidlid]

Wicked track

[@dastardlyman]

that track called "sincere" was just wonderful.

[@anthonyoneill3144]

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

[@Dyo17192]

Genius. I love these ethereal kinds of tunes

[@WORKRECANDPLAY]

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

[@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

[@ourmindzdj]

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

[@DJMKasapoglu]

MJ COLE He's the Master still LOVE his tunes

[@foodstampz]

Great interview with him.

[@Kadenxe]

This was a masterpiece

[@ttttiiimmy10bit]

MJ Cole is the best at these guides.

[@Dubbsteppa21]

He makes everything look effortless

[@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.

[@lookmomonlycomputer]

2 years later discovert this tutorial ... incredible

[@arnoldfranco9240]

soo good

[@aquaman9164]

Master at Work

[@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

[@nicolesproducerpack]

[@petertelinde130]

[@MrblondeBEAST]

[@ephjaymusic]

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

[@Made0nEarth]

i love this kind of production videos ;)

[@sram993]

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

[@The-Househeads]

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

[@350125]

Nice beat

[@edglue6138]

Amazing

[@Blackstamos]

Thanks for Sharing.

[@avantoneavantone5826]

Thanks

[@unleasheth]

MJ Cole > J Cole, any day of the week

[@iJoxy]

17:30 makes it look so easy

[@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 🔥

[@спасиботебедружок]

Pretty cool beat

[@_thomaswarburton]

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

[@blackcorridors]

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

[@maximyunitsky193]

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

[@incsism5972]

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

[@badformatuk]

You killed it man!!

[@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.

[@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

[@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?

[@julian.castro18]

genius

[@MrJonesdj]

muito bom!! very good!!

[@JL-nk1pc]

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

[@yarmouthiow]

A good description, yes it is.

[@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!

[@DeanMiller1984]

does that rhodes piano come with the sample pack? 😂

[@BurstoMusic]

Good stuff this, thanks

[@terrz321]

I'm inspired not sleeping tonite

[@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.

[@benbrooker]

3:23 cracked me up

[@spoony01428]

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

[@d_lala]

fantastique

[@telli6931]

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

[@BetweenBeatsNDreams]

legend

[@OntarioBirding7538]

What’s song called

[@justindiaz4980]

Is this track downloadable anywhere ????

[@eluherlu]

Nice workflow

[@franzkano8851]

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

[@collettstudio5419]

what software are you using

[@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

[@Joey_mala]

The don

[@diamondgeorge7460]

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

[@simonhaggis6932]

Geithain 901

[@moritz9848606]

is this track available anywhere?

[@diegocostaonline]

great! wasn't expecting something great on the fly

[@currie_uk]

What MIDI controller is he using?

[@captainjackrana]

the beat is much more groovy at the 80bpm mark

[@eric-vu1jy]

CHEK OUT EL-B

[@darbomusic]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@topofthemornintoya]

That Rhodes

[@mekinis]

Damn this was dope !

[@InZainUK]

19:14 an Rnb classic was born :o

[@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.

[@djbaghdaddy]

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

[@Byronic19134]

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

[@andrewthiselton5118]

31:29

[@benjiusofficial]

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 😛

[@InZainUK]

2:29 eeaaassyyyy now mj :')

[@maxode3042]

Sound like the song basketball lol

[@Hassanhadi2607]

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

[@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.

[@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? 😂
