Ahh that sounds so good, I'd love to go to China. Not monotone at all my dude, the drum processing you did on this is soo good, I love that organic feel. The instrumental stuff is a lovely touch too Looking forward to the video! (P.S. ninjabaka made it over, all thanks to your shoutout to his yt! Nice!)

I'm looking forward to seeing the video, that beat is really cool and I want to see how it was made

Video is online, my man!!! You can see it in the description

Thanks a lot for the positive vibes and the feedback. I also would love to visit China (so much to see...)

I'm really glad I was useful and could bring Ninjabaka back. His synthwave skills were really appreciated!

I now have to up my game and don't be rendering last minute. Also... video gets my computers quite hotter than what audio did!!! Guess I need many more hours of practice

Video is online! It took longer than expected to render it, sorry!

Not sure if I could describe it properly. I'm still quite new to this whole video thing and didn't wanted to turn this one into a tutorial (also was running out of time).

Please let me know if it's somewhat lacking on actual details, or maybe in "getting to the point".

And thanks for listening and the nice feedback!!!

Great video!  I like the explanations you provide and something mesmerizing about watching all the clips being added to Ableton.  Agree with how you sparingly used the bursts of melody to break up the beat.

Wow, this is phenomenal! I really enjoyed watching the video about your workflow too, keep it up

Hell yeah. This was dope.

Hell yeah. This was dope.

Ah I think I missed your last few tracks, I'll have to go listen now!

Anyway this is plenty punchy, I really dig this track! The 'Hey!' is perfect and I love any Asian instrumentation so this checks all the boxes for me.

Thanks a lot, Jason! Yeah, I thought that just looping "some chinese sounding stuff" and calling it a day would be almost tacky, so I prefer this "trap chant" thingie.

Glad you dig it, Mission Crossing! I am posting the video in some Reddit channels trying to appeal to the production nerds like us

Thank you, man! I must put your "fake VHS" teachings to use in a future episode

Thanks for the compliments and the recent feedback. You are killing it with your last hip hop/downtempo releases.

At the beginning I was more centered in those metal cymbal/crash things. It wasn't until I reviewd the footage I realised "maybe" I could do something with those "heys" (is it too much like rippin' "The Art of Noise"?)

I should be checking your last releases instead of working, man! Thanks a lot!

Now a friendly rat for ya:

great sampling love the rhythm you made out of those drums and adding that bass kick gave it nice bounce. i wanted to hear more of that tradition Chinese melody, but none the less this is awesome.

LAGUNA THIS IS SO COOL!!

Fantastic work on this!

Fantastic work on this!

Woah super creative idea!  I enjoyed watching the process too.  You're a pro with the warping in Ableton.  I've never been comfortable with warping.  I always feel like I mess up the feel when trying to rearrange it.  Excellent use of the samples, especially the drums.

whoa, incredible video and WILD track!  never would have guessed where some of these sounds came from!

stunning

I apologize for the very late answers, guys. I'm catching up finally...

Thank you Franky! I was surprised myself about how the sampling, specially using just my phone, turned out. Very useful for those "hey" voices!

I was tempted to use more of that melody that you could hear in the begining of the video, though when stretching some artifacts and the low quality became more obvious and, since I've abused of some melodic loops for a long time, I chose to leave the listener wishing for more instead of being tired of the same bar over and over.

You're a really skilled producer, and your words are quite a compliment. Thank you

Thank you, Scott. You're always really kind

I should be catching up with your stuff right now...

Thank you, Mortistar. I'm pretty surprised myself. I was afraid after making the shots, that once I tried to sample and chop the stuff, mostly would be unusable.

A real struck of luck!!!

Oh, thanks a lot, Eric! I've spent a lot of time experimenting with the different algorythms and getting myself familiar with the result. If I may give you a little advice: don't try to make it sound natural, because a person always can tell Just try to mangle the sound and have fun!

I myself tried to "extract grooves" but started to get the hang of it when I first exagerate the warping trying to get that Akai/drum and bass timestretching.

I'm really glad you liked the track. Making a video of the whole process was hard, but I guess it was worth it if at least one fellow producer "gets what I'm talking about"

Oh, the video part was harder than expected, and I'm still learning the craft. I've always thought about doing some kind of talk/video/podcast from producers to producers. Would you be interested in that?

Really happy to hear you dig it, Orangedrink!!!
