As a Trinidadian, Producer, Recording/Mixing Engineer and Composer, I can say unequivically that this Cat is 100% He knows his shit!

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

Glad to hear it, Corey! Had a Spanish speaker help me with the correct pronunciation of Trésillo last week in a lesson LOL! always room for improvement. Thank for watching friend!

[@mootologist]

Finally. I know what to call this trope.

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

you cant unhear it.

[@Kittor87]

Thanks for this! I found this while looking for a song with a clave rhythm for band class and thought Id show my teacher, imma put this linkin my homework so he can see it!

[@LARRY.B.LeeVRE]

I decided to trace the bo diddly beat today. Great work man!

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

Get it Larry!

[@Seoule]

That was so good. I teach Salsa, Bachata, BraZouk, and WCS. I'm obsessed with riddims. Would you please please please do a video on Zouk riddim. I really want to see it written for sight reading. There are plenty of rabbit holes for you there....... Ghetto Zouk..... etc

[@RennyJackson]

Cool video, very informative. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-zd5xf4nw5j]

very in-depth！

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

I appreciate it :D thank you for watching!

[@jackstrada5263]

Britney Spears 3 is a good example using the first 2 notes of this clave. Reggae Dubstep uses this exclusively. It makes up half the Son, Rumba, Samba, Basa clave etc, and is usually called the Haitian Clave

[@marcushywaka]

Thanks for this Robert!

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

Glad you enjoyed it, Marcus! I'm working on an EQ video next, hmu If you have any EQ struggles you'd like me to cover!

[@nhlakaniphokubheka8635]

Great video man 🙌🏿

[@ICOYBeats]

This is awesome! Do you have a MIDI of this by any chance? Would love to use it as inspiration - thanks :D

[@sone.]

This is awesome. Keep up the good work

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

will do, thanks for the love, Frank!

[@Andre-gu5qd]

Thanks!!

[@RellonBrown]

I am also a Trinidadian with many years of performing calypso and soca. While you are correct in the naming and placing of the tresillo in world and pop music, you have unfortunately misnamed this rhythm that you are calling soca. It's not your fault, since the practitioners before us were not saavy enough to differentiate soca from the various other rhythms that are influenced by the tresillo. It's the tresillo yes, but not soca.

[@davidmerino2692]

Bro, as a latino i can tell you: your song is actually known as tropipop or modern reggaeton. You can listen to sebastian yatra or carlos vives, both latin musicians basically specialized in tropipop. Or to some daddy yankee, same story

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

I really appreciate the info, Thank you! I'll definitely look into those artists

[@otsoko66]

David: Trinidadians were using the SoCa rhythm (clave) over the 4/4 decades before Latin music picked it as tropipop. It DID cross from Trinidad to Venezuela in the 70s, and thence to the rest of Latin pop music. But it started in Trinidad with SoCa.

[@otsoko66]

Check out Explainer's 1981 SoCa mega hit 'Lorraine' kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5rNioBpabCNmZY

[@davidmerino2692]

@@otsoko66 that is also true, even though it was being used way back by the latinos in new york doing latin jazz, which later became salsa

[@JOELSHUMPIE]

David Merino I am a Caribbean Music Producer who worked with Soca Legends. Modern Reggaeton came from one song from a Jamaican artist by the name of Cutty Ranks who did dance Hall which is a sub genre of reggae heavily mixed with SOCA to create the DANCE LOL. So the Man did he’s research well. I don’t know how he found it out but I’m impressed. Well done.

[@ProgressiveRADC]

Good and informative

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

Thanks for watching!

[@JackDevaney]

Hey there! So, KZbin flagged your comment on my channel as spam years ago and I've only just seen it. Safe to say, this is a really interesting video! Subbed

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

hey Jack! Glad you got to see the video! thank so much for the sub :)

[@michaelmarshall55]

Very densely informative , not superficial, but may I suggest that the notation stay on the screen longer ans you put out the details quite fast verbally ? But yes, please do more on breaking down and building up rhythms -- as KZbin hardly lacks harmony oriented videos, but is woefully short on rhythms…

[@LearnAudioEngineering]

noted! thanks for the honest feedback :D

[@MixmanD28]

What an excellent tutorial! Very informative, entertaining and to the point - top notch!

[@MrRichierock21]

I Think you have Dancehall music and Soca music mixed up. The rhythm guitar is Soca and the pluck sounds that you hear in all the songs come from modern Dancehall witch artists in the states got influenced from and called it Tropical house. Now Tropical house is almost like if Dancehall and Soca had a baby! You got four on the floor beat like Soca and the Dancehall pluck sound and there you have it!

[@roylle6346]

The tresillco is heavy in dancehall

[@jameslevesque9720]

Where can we find your finished song?

[@dembowdembow8586]

To reggaeton u write on 4/4 melody but only the drum on tresillo.

[@jameslevesque9720]

Where can I find your song. Assuming its finished?

[@liamlansberg4175]

They use this rhythm in drill music

[@mikelevines]

I appreciate this video, but for the record: The clave does not come from soca music (as this video seems to imply). The clave rhythm is much older than soca music. It's used in soca of course, just as it's used in hundreds of different styles. Soca is a relatively recent genre (1970s-ish), so it's odd that he's thinking of this as some non-commercial rhythmic root that's somehow at the root of more contemporary popular styles ("bastardized" styles, in his words). I think calling this the "tresillo" pattern (or the 3 of the clave) is a much less confusing way to describe this pattern.

[@williammaestre9318]

[@Jude107c]

Sorry Latinos! but Reggaeton is just Soca sung in spanish!

[@bongoseropersa5240]

You cant reduce music like that, soca feels and sounds different than reggaeton, reggaeton comes from dancehall and it share carribean roots w soca
