the max martin hack to make better beats

[@trancecrafter]

dude I just stumbled onto your channel and the first thing I noticed was your awesome vibe/attitude. you seem like you really know your stuff a LOT so I'm actually really happy to have found your youtube channel. I'm gonna subscribe, keep doing videos like this!!!!!

[@LeifBent]

thank you!! yeah I really should start doing more tutorials! 😄

[@manmohitsingh502]

can't emphasize how useful this tut would be, thank you :D

[@LeifBent]

haha!! thanks! glad I could help 😍

[@tribecagirl]

Leif, this taught me so much. I can’t wait to incorporate this in my drum grooves ❤ more of this pls

[@LeifBent]

thank uuu!!! glad I could help 😍 I’m actually think of starting a separate tutorial channel! what kind of stuff would you be interested in me talking about?

[@rnbsteenstar]

I love how your nails are polished and I would totally have you produce me something.

[@bubblegumboyfriend]

that beat is wild

[@LeifBent]

thanks!! 😍🙏🏼

Do you think it's possible to incorporate a Max Martin BoyBand drum loop, and put those replicated drum sounds into a trap/hip hop based groove or feel? I believe that especially with that special synth bass that is on top of the usual slap bass and orchestral hits, or piano impacts that I hear

[@LeifBent]

yeah for sure!! the concept stays the same! it’s adding divisions to a groove to change the feel. Think of a trap beat with other without a hihat. completely different worlds. stuff like that

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

Thanks for this interesting idea about hi hats! I always disliked creating hi hat patterns, but this might make it more interesting because it seems they can really add something interesting to the song! I was bouncing my head when I heard it! Also, whereas I do think this hi hat loop sounds really quite interesting and pretty pro in your song, I think it's influence on the song would be far greater if it would not be a bit overshadowed by other instruments that are 'in it's way' like the synth bas (that appears too loud or thick compared to the drums) or the piano . I think neither really help the hi hat pattern to be exposed enough to be really heard and thus appreciated. I think other less punchy instruments such as strings or pads of any kind would give this nice hi hat pattern more exposure. Such instruments could still be relatively loud and still expose the hi hat pattern. Also, I think the hi hat loop give this nice groovy rhythm to the song, whereas for example the piano does not also play something groovy, but rather plays something that is usually played in ballads without clear rhythmic complexity.

[@LeifBent]

thanks for the input!! yeah it’s crazy how even just a couple of elements playing together like that can influence the whole feel and levels or adding/ leaving one out changes the entire mood of the song

[@caluproduction6434]

I love your voice, I love your tips, I love your instrument choice, but I god damn hate that moog pattern! It just makes me wanna draw blood. Love your work tho!

[@LeifBent]

haha 😄 that’s art! not everyone has the same taste ;) but glad you like the rest! I’m thinking about starting a separate tutorial channel. what kind of stuff would you be interested in me talking about?

[@caluproduction6434]

@@LeifBent I guess one thing I wonder the most, since I can't sing, would be prerecording vocal warm ups. I did work with some amazing local singers but never was able to draw their true potential. Other things like applied music theory, since there are a lot of videos about it, but not that many about how to apply it. Sound design and instrument choice (not the for this choose this type, but the for this you should choose a instrument with that kind of characteristics). Since I am not familiar with your entire cv to know what you know best to the point of teaching others, I am not entirely sure what exactly you could speak on the best. Ps: I still hate that moog and still love everything else, might I say I love more the entire package then the pieces apart. Music might be spectrum of diverse opinions, but I know I like your music! Peace and love from Romania!

Where did you get the sounds for the drums?

[@LeifBent]

got the samples from splice 🤓

[@Y-zf7tf]

The bass sounds a bit like reggae... like Ace of Base. I like it

[@LeifBent]

uhh interesting! didn’t see that yet but kinda nice

[@LeifBent]

danke! grüße aus marzahn

[@renepetershagencomposer2462]

Hab jetzt erst deine Antwort gesehen 😃😎

[@bryanh8630]

hey brother, random question...do you happen to know the average length of his songs? I can't find anything online...I have a song that is 2minutes and 20 seconds long and I'm trying to figure if there is a way to make it longer...but I thought well I wonder how long Max's songs are

[@LeifBent]

that changes from song to song!! the songs he did 15 years ago were longer than the ones now 😄

[@KevKlopper]

You don't know how to use wiki, spotify and a calculator?

[@simmermusic3894]

Michael Jackson has been doing this for ages using even his beatbox abilities

[@LeifBent]

yeah I know!! he’s a perfect example 🙏🏼

[@rnbsteenstar]

​@@LeifBenthell yeah. I am a fan of his work.

[@gaganshrivastava6293]
