What is Amapiano Music and How To Make It!

[@zeeq3677]

Great work bro. The only downside of making amapiano (also called the yanos' here at home 😂) overseas is that you can only find the best singers of the genre here at home in Africa.

[@WillHatton]

Oh I bet!!! Yanos’! Thanks for the education bud!

[@ekowcrent1246]

Thanks a ton bro. This is the first amapiano tutorial I’ve seen in ableton. Love from Ghana 🇬🇭

[@WillHatton]

Means a lot, sending love right back! ❤️

[@swazifiction]

Well done! Yes, the commonest bpm at the moment is 112, and the guys to learn from are obviously the Scorpion Kings--Kabza and Maphorisa. Amapiano is eclectic: there's SA jazz (the pianos obviously, but also sax), kwaito beats, a bit of tribal, local vocals, and the ever-present background of house. It does seem important though to avoid the heavy kick drum of house and if you use 4/4 to not make it too obvious. Amampiano also has this neat trick of suddenly dropping the beat or slowing down before returnig to the main groove.

[@WillHatton]

Wow, thank you so much for the homework activities! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out, I can't wait to have another pass at an Amapiano tutorial!

[@johndav_iD]

Thank you for actually going in-depth on this, using theory terms I can understand cuz it's been hard tryna decipher between everything. I like it a lot and hope to make some in the future

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure! Thank you for your kindness

[@jilleverheij7450]

Wow recently made a ableton logdrum device for ableton! How cool, thanks for the video!

[@ShenFM]

Really appreceated this tut man. Bought the log bass coz of you!

[@WillHatton]

So pleased buddy, happy to help!

[@IcebergSlimMusic]

Do use any of the ssl plugs on your mix. You should try the drumstrip if don't already use it. Especially on the shakers and the kicks. Personally I recommend the try onanything preset and then tweak the highs and lows

[@ManoMittu]

Great video once again. Normally I come to you for lofi advice. But always love to discover new things. Especially when it's a video from you. Peace!

[@WillHatton]

REALLY appreciate that Mano, it's nice to mix things up from time to time, huh? More Lo-Fi to come for sure

[@LexanderMiller]

Cool video. Introduced me to new music and showed how to make it. Perfect 5/7 video

If you have arturia analog lab v you can find the log drum in the Roland DX7 instrument (the best sounding), that is of course you don't use FL and cannot access the Fruity DX10.

[@elidadi]

Thank you for sharing

[@JakeLDS]

Great tutorial. Btw, that Jay Music tune sound a lot like GQOM to me, it's somewhere betweeb that and Amapiano. I love both so that's a really cool tune.

[@f_Harry]

116 bpm is a bit fast...

[@ClipEastWeed]

@@WillHatton I like to feel embarrassed

[@ClipEastWeed]

@@WillHatton do you want me to teach you real Amapiano so you can hype with real confidence bruh

@@ClipEastWeed did you come back the second time to spell “teach” wrong?

[@NiVitaRSA]

The title should've been "Learning how to an Amapiano track", cz you ain't got no clue.
