So, since folks asked and seem to like the production workflow videos too, I wanted to share one with ya.
this is something I was working on this afternoon for one of my good friends who is also an emcee I work with
When making a track sometimes I feel it’s for a certain person, so I just asked him to send me some leftover vocals.
What I like to do is chop them up, maybe create a hook or something to build a concept for a song.
So I show my process and also how I like to create concepts to send to the artist to write to or see if he likes it at all.
enjoy!
Nice Video.
thanks bro
What up Fam! I see the boy Leon still got u heated..lol.. Believe it or Not alot of beat makers struggle at the arrangement phase of production…I thInk that’s why u get alot of requests from folks wanting a whole song broken down…this is the fun part 4 me and the part that get my creative juices flowing..when I creat a beat it goes thru several phases… First I come up with the concept or ideal, which is usually just a snippet of a beat (the drums, sample or unsampled sounds, fx , etc…then I put these beats in folders… Read more »
nah lol, he’s not the only one, we get a lot of folks asking for these types of videos, people really like to see the creative process I suppose. That’s why I started doing the workstation workflow videos, with more coming, it just seems people enjoy seeing how others actually put all the knowledge and techniques to use, which is cool. Since I was working on one, figured I’d show it.
Dope. Enjoyed watching the process SJ !
thanks for watching bro!
You really got something’s going there, SJ! You know, some of those beautiful piano lines gets me in the Debussy mode. I can really hear some orchestra stuff added to this… Wouldn’t that be steppin’ on new territory – Hip Hop meets 19th century impressionism?
yeah, thought of some orchestra/strings on here too
lol i just really wanted to hear your style of beats nd not 2min snippets from the vids lol. i wanted to see u chop up sum keys, add the drums, bass, then add a synth for a chorus, a switchup for the verses etc. not saying u r but u dont have to prove nothin to me lol guess i shudda clarified what i was asking of you.
its not like ur on soundclick n we can hear the beats u made/samples used
It’s all good man, like I said, you’re not the only one that requests videos like these, but trust, I’m not trying to prove anything lol. I already answered your previous question when I posted the links to the other two vids. That’s why I started doing those because in our forums and via email we get a lot of people asking about the song creation process. Many just want to see it “all come together” so we started doing them. There will definitely be more videos of us just making tracks, etc…I know personally I just don’t want this… Read more »
The more the merrier – love watching how other people handle things, and it’s not necessarily because I don’t know how to do something. It’s often just good to see, and in itself is inspirational.
Good stuff man.
agreed bro, thanks for checking
Nice i learn something new everytime i watch you guys.having trouble getting maschine to read my waves bundle reads all my other vsti and effects but not my waves bundle hmm im baffledlol.
if you are running maschine in 64 bit mode then it will not read waves which are 32 bit plugins.
Tight video S.J.! Hella Dope!
thanks for watching fam
Great vid! Where can I get Magnetic?
thanks, I bought magnetic when I bought echoes, in a bundle. I really liked echoes as it’s the best delay I’ve found for what I like to do, but magnetic was dope too and for 99 bucks for both I couldn’t pass!

How do i take it out of 64bit?Just got a call from a school that offers audio and digital media arts .just lost my job last week tues kind of sad But ima be alright i got the most high got my back .time to go back to school and change my career no more cooking. Music baby.NTYC JUST SHARING FEELINGS.
depends if you are on mac or pc, on pc there are two shortcuts a maschine and a mschine (64 bit), on mac you have to click on the icon, do a get info, and tell it to run in 32 bit. Do your thing bro!
