The Making Of Clean Bandit's "Rockabye" | Deconstructed

Clean Bandit’s second single off of their forthcoming second studio album is “Rockabye,” with features from Sean Paul and British singer Anne-Marie. The song is an ode to single mothers and revolves around doing anything you can to provide for your child. Jack Patterson produced on the song and co-wrote it with Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen, who based the lyrics on her relationship with her son.

Producers deserve way more credits So much going to these beats

This sir is no beat, this is a instrumental with purpose

finally a producer showing us his workflow and not just soloing tracks, & glade they used a real string quartet

[@Nada-by3zz]

the band (Clean Bandit) consists mainly of a string quartet, the electronic music is just an addition :D

hmmmm, ehmmm you do know clean bandit are actually a string quartet......🙈 this shits the add on.....😕

So he's the real artist behind Clean Bandit. I mean everyone went a little crazy when the violinist left the band but the one that makes most of the songs it's Jack! Great to see how he does it.

[@slowcrusxxh]

I personally prefer their sound when Neil was in the band. Their new sound is more like radio friendly and mainstream pop.

[@mjcoolswagtv8839]

@@slowcrusxxh yes, the songs with the violin are more unique and I like them more

[@og2816]

grace and luke are the producers too

James Don’t forget the New York Times similar series too...

[@thatguylie4239]

Soooo when people talk shit about DJ's that make their own music and feel it's shit.... listen to the chemistry and watch. They obviously know what they're doing. Producers deserve way more respect and recognition.

"Is is Phil Collins?" No, it's Rick Astley.

Exactly my thoughts, but don't think he's ever gonna give him up.

[@khalilsarabey]

Tempo and Pitch? You're expecting the sample they're using to have the same tempo / pitch of the original sample?

Well, they're continuing on Against All Odds.

[@edwardgabrielsson3724]

it's fucking rick astley, isn't it. he said it was much wose, fucking rick rolled us in the middle of his own song. clever underdog memes

This is amazing.. It's beautiful and complicated at the same times. I hope more people buy or stream the songs legally to appreciate every musicians' masterpiece.

If anyone wants to know, that "phil collins" toms are from VEH1 Toms sample pack. You're welcome :)

[@TheUKNutter]

Medok This should be top comment.

[@tommykavounidis]

I can't find it and I have that pack!

[@Mrbombs102]

Tommy Kavounidis also you wouldn't get sued for using Tom's in a sample pack, isn't that the entire point of a sample pack? You buy it and use the samples in your songs.

[@nocturnal7345]

Medok I freakin knew it was a vengeance sample. 😂

Best making of on youtube ever, thanks to Genius camera and editor team, Jack Patterson, you're my new idol now.

[@youmilkpack]

Wish I could do these things, but damn it's sooo complex..

[@DavidDaliva]

Not really, you just need to learn.

[@sebrobitschko191]

not really

[@MissJessyeNorman]

Not even in the same universe as complex as learning to play the actual instruments. This is utterly depressing. Don't get me wrong, he's obviously talented and working hard. This is just a pastiche of a pastiche of music. It's horrid that the music industry is going this way...

[@sebrobitschko191]

Shut up

[@maximusvice]

MissJessyeNorman Have u ever tried it? Because i have tried producing and learning guitar. learning guitar is easier than producing a track.

[@marcomusictv3854]

[@RICKYV98]

love watching these

[@DwayneCreates]

My man recorded a real symphony orchestra instead of using a string preset, this guy is putting in more work than 99% of producers out there. Look at how many tracks he has as well, crazy. I love the Korg Polysix, it's invaluable for synthwave music.

[@mjcoolswagtv8839]

No, it's not a sting orchestra. They have a chello player named grace. And at that time, when the song was recorded, they also had a violin player named Neil Milan, but he left he group when the song came out.

[@nocturnal7345]

Yes, because everyone knows or has an access of an orchestra. Really, sample based orchestra is god sent, you wouldn't really worry about hiring expensive players for you, whe you have the orchestra literally inside your computer, it could also speed up your workflow. I know it's hard to pull a realistic sounding orchestra using vsts, but it's possible, a lot of vst/players are well made and they have lots of articulation to make it sound even more realistic. And yeah, Polysix is da bomb for synthwave, even the fist bass preset is already synthwave-ish, lol.

To use the tools is very easy... but to come up with the idea for a full song is HARD... the guys is using delay, reverb, compression, and some other effects very basic stuff... but he puts them together right, Genius :)

I really want to see a deconstructed session with Rudimental.

[@petersimms8290]

I've worked out the scale settings. It's programmed to play Major & minor 3rds in the key of C minor, not Am as he mentioned. In other words it sharpens to thirds on major chords of the key that are otherwise minor because of the chord plugin.

[@gin-holee9062]

Can you please tell me the name of the plug in? From which company is chord and scale?
