What Musicians can learn from Mk.gee

[@sedlite4gaming]

i swear mk.gee is one of the most talented artists of this generation. i'll be in awe if he doesnt become a legend. Already doin this shit at 26 years old is wild

[@vicgermain4179]

i could see him having a similar career to kevin parker

[@sedlite4gaming]

@@vicgermain4179 good shout

[@evnsrm]

what you mean he is already a legend

[@iamjamakami]

that drum resample through the mic is such a dope idea 🔥

[@mcclendonreport]

Texture is everything. This is what is missed within the musician crowd. They think too much about playing rather than listening and feeling.

[@7ars471]

i think one thing is texture and the other huge thing in mk.gee's production is contrast. Whether its dynamics or space or anything like that he almost creates a call and response in every single way you can in a soundscape which is fucking phenomenal

[@shellzsplash]

2:50 - this is a really cool concept I have not seen done before in this way. I will say though that rather than it producing an 'overheads' sound, this is much more comparable to a 'room mic' situation, which is a great way to add more "ambience and depth" to your drumkit. nonetheless - good content :)

[@Stefobot]

this is one of your best videos bro mad inspiring

[@iitsvonvino]

Consistent Mai got me feeling tings -inside-

[@noahyager7599]

that show must've been such an incredible experience ✨

[@Meisure]

1:31 you don’t even know that you just changed my life with this tip 😭🔥

[@aidanlaskey8708]

Yeah I use that on basically every rhythmic track if I want to lower energy but not remove anything

[@slymeCS]

whats that even called, does fl have anything close to this?

[@BlacRoc10]

Dude I love how you’re really passionate about this shit, been following you for a hot minute now and it’s cool how your sound has progressed over the years 💪

[@LUGG824]

Bro the parallel processing and mic re-recording tips were sick! A couple cool things I've been trying recently to add texture to my beats: 1. Try finding a noise, vinyl crackle, tape hiss, or even ambient noise (whatever you want really). Chuck a compressor on it then side-chain it to your drums. Depending on how you play around the threshold and gain reduction, you then get this really nice pumping effect, with the texture popping in and out and becoming more dynamic. Way better than just dragging and dropping a vinyl crackle in. (Try some background chatter and talking, or a tape hiss that would get repetitive if left untouched). 2. Redux (or any bit crusher) is your friend! something about reducing the sample rate and bit rate adds this really subtle but really nice sizzling texture to the higher frequencies bonus: little bit of added saturation on the master can be really nice, but don't clip the master :) Also I've been really vibin with Tuamie recently, feel like he incorporates some really nice textures into his beats. Check out 8 o'clock, some really cool sound design textures like bubbling water, airy breaths and this weird buzzing vocal. Super cool!

[@MarcoAlexiii]

My favorite producer rn, thanks Mai

Drums crispy asf

[@TheHansen01]

Banger video! Videos like these are great because every tip provided is something we can take into our DAWs and use immediately. That simulated overhead drum mic tip blew my mind. 🔥

[@DIYDirtclub]

sheesh that drum sample is crispy ❤‍🔥

[@adrianpeucelle]

this is a good point, it takes the production to another level 🎫

[@jameswilson8281]

Drums go boom and came with a side of sauce

[@DREAM-LENS]

[@haroldmulei9603]

[@gunnargrubbs3123]

Genuinely one of my favorite producers ❤ constantly putting me on game

[@jefu]

that LA show was just something else, pushed the sounds to the max

[@lilwombat]

Man I'm seeing everyone talk about mk.gee from this album it's so cool. I gave him a real listen when I heard him on the last Dijon album and recognised the name. So crazy talented.

[@Lfz_music]

Textures can really transform a song with a different vibes, awesome tutorial! (Also I hope I win that kit)

[@KaneChattey]

Very sick production. Final product sounding great.

[@sleeplessjaay]

[@ramencoke]

This is the mindset I believe in !

[@raysimmonds1287]

Vibe is crazy on this joint

[@LoganPrescott]

[@CliffJump23]

[@P4nd4TheP1nk]

the bass fits sooo well what the hellllllll❤

[@HellaBeatsOfficial]

Insanely dope

[@prxytv]

Bro that was gold

[@Max-gh6px]

Yoo! I know this is a little late but, for the parallel processing if you want to (in place of sends/returns) you can put the effect directly onto the track, make sure its 100% wet, and then create a group. In that group you'll have the 100% wet effect, you can then create a new chain and it'll play the dry signal alongside it. Prob a bad explanation but it is for sure worth doing, it can be easier than sends/returns if you don't plan on using the sends on other tracks too!

[@jalenp64]

the feedback on that pad sound heavenly

[@ashieduslim6578]

I do this alot and it's crazy how it works really well

[@blakezacharymusic]

[@keyofdrew]

Yessir! I just literally just got into mk.gee too!

[@GreatPlanet-c7o]

MG is taking guitar into the modern era. He has the touch. Somehow, he's got a new spin on gear (or sounds) most cats already use.

[@scrpted1021]

the beat kinda reminds me of tame impala, cause idk any songs by mk.gee yet. but it sounds soo good!!

[@jakesharpe3025]

I just made some drums to send to a guitarist but if you wouldn't mind blessing me with that drum kit I think it could really bring it to the next level I love your content sorry for the copyright bs

[@ajsjs9]

"my gentlemen" me: 🙇‍♀️ anyway recording the drums back in as "OHs" is a really cool idea
