[@FalloutskyyBeats]

The thing with the transition is really cool. Never tried to extend a transition between two beats like this before. Def gotta try it out!

[@NavieD]

It definitely makes the transition more palatable

[@maverickREAL]

I was expecting the GARBAGE PALE KIDS sample analysis to be a stretch referencing the lyrics or something but I was impressed with how you approached the rhythm and melody, and the beat you made out of the random sounds exactly like something that would be on STH! You clearly know what you're talking about.

[@basedmod2139]

Hell nah dude fumbled his note transcription abysmally, he didn't even catch the harmony somehow, and called it "vaguely musical". Bro's sped bro

[@sovka8394]

8:02 saying Peggy transitions from one part of beat to another flawlessly really made me laugh😂😂 His beat switches are often BRUTAL.

[@98loud]

yeah I dunno if this guy has listened to an album passed Scaring the Hoes. Esp Vet or Cornballs

[@chopincj7530]

yeah this guy knows fl but sounds like hes only been described a jpegmafia song through chatgpt

[@theactualjosi]

I guess they could come off as “brutal” if you’re not focusing closely to the instrumental but it’s not like they’re just an immediate cut. They almost always have some sort of incredibly purposeful buildup and I definitely wouldn’t describe them as “brutal”.

[@MvsG18]

yeah, plus i actually think part of the magic of a beat switch is exactly that, the surprise of getting a switch when you don't expect it to, a bridge instead just connects the the part A with part B instead of making a part A that seemlessly seems to continue on part B. that said, the video it's still helpful and show tricks that can be useful while making beats. interesting shi.

[@98loud]

@@theactualjosi how does "brutal" imply that there's no build up? Baby I'm Bleeding has build up but it's still a brutal beat switch when the original beat explodes into a million kicks

[@TenaciousDM]

Jpegmafia is incredible. I've listened to his album so many times since it came out. Great work Navie!

[@adamhall5332]

Garbage pale kids is genius. The first time I heard that transition to that nasty distorted guitar in the b section too, I got goosebumps. This video is gold!

[@Quimmoo]

In electronic music, specially in IDM, downtempo or ambient the idea of repurposing the samples is actually quite common. Specially the ideas of finding rhythmic patterns in rhythmic patterns (by applying stretching, chopping and/or granular processing) and using rhythmic elements of tonal samples as a percussion sounds. Like imagine that you have a set of drone sounds with a rhythmic modulation going on and you are creating a 'beat' by layering those modulations. Another thing that immediately comes to mind is creative usage of delays to create a pulse, or using very long delay feedback to create a 'looper' effect. Also the 'foleys' that you've sampled from Disney sound design team are essential for many EDM producers. My personal favourite technic is to stack simple hi-hat patterns with a heavily high-passed jazz/funk drum loops and layering the reversed short sound of closed hat, which I design with a white noise on a Minimoog. So that way you have a static clear pulse going on with a simple closed hat pattern and also a rhythmic grooving texture underneath. The craziest idea that I've stumbled across comes from a modular synthesists circle and this blown my mind away. So the 'traditional' way to make music is to use multiple instruments (voices) and sum those voices together in a one single wave. Now, the modular synthesists decided to flip the process itself upside down and start by creating a single wave, with only one voice and then make the whole music piece by subtracting from this single wave. The possibilities of current music production tools are almost endless and so we have so many creative ideas just flowing in the air, waiting for being explored. Music is a process of exploration. Damn I love when hip-hop producers are getting experimental with their tools. I'm an IDM producer, but hip-hop music had a HUGE impact on my production style and artistic choices. From the sound of Bristol's 90s underground to the rough off-beat lyricism of early Eastern London to the Kanye's Graduation and Heartbreak.

[@Quimmoo]

@emily u welcome

[@Unkraut]

can you elaborate on that subtractive process you talked stumbling upon? i wonder how these guys go about creating multiple layers from one

[@sarahrothfuss3005]

nice one ! do you have any links to the modular thing ?

[@Quimmoo]

@@Unkraut Sure. So the main idea is to have 1 synth, one trigger sequencer and a complex polyphonic CV sequencer to use it to CV the hell out of that synth. Basically, with a modular synthesizer everything is a voltage and you can control any parameter of the synth in any given time. Let's say that you want to have a kick and a hat hitting at the same time. You don't create those sounds separately and layer them on top of each other. You need to think about: "How does the kick and hat sound like already on top of each other" and then design that sound for that exact step. Okay, now you want to add a bass. You should design the completely new sound of kick, hat and bass combined. So your thought process is going to be a 'reversed approach' when you don't think about how to stack different instruments, but rather - "how the instruments would sound like combined". It sounds way harder than it is, tbf. Here's the video of the most basic setup you can use to produce music this way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4jcanmdnLCDbpo
