Thanks for uploading. Who have ears to hear let them hear! Folks in the chat back and forth about who can make beats but this guy just proved the importance of music theory...he had so many options in a few minutes. Hats off to him. Great lessons here in such a short time. Peace!
definitly one of the most if not the only producer/engineer that has inspired me to take recording and beats as a serious profession hopefully my scholorship will work out and i can turn that ambition into somthing and be able to thank him in person, incredable talent man thanx for the inspiration
Jeez, way more to it than I thought. Hats off to you. He must have an amazing understanding of music at a base level to switch and change his ideas so easily. Colour me impressed.
This guy almost seems forgotten, but he's a legendary producer, especially for west coast hip hop. His best beats can go toe to toe with Storch and Dre's catalog
I am so glad that he is showing his set up. So many people keep trying to get the newest thing out and not using what they already have to the fullest.
The software he used is Pro Tools and he's using the sounds from the Fantom and Triton Extreme keyboards using the Fantom as a MIDI controller as well.
Music Producers are like the Director of a movie. Someone else can write the script (melody/song basics), someone else is the camera man and that influences the feel, the actors all have their styles and portrayals of the characters, but in the end it's the job of the director to put it all together in the vision of the end product. That's how you can tell the differences of directors, and also music producers (for pop, at least).
***** Actually the most people don't know how to design sounds AND can't play piano. A lot of them are using prefabricated midi-files. It's more like "paint by numbers" these days. They choose melodys and chords which are already exists, choose the same presets like all the others, build these typical cheap 808 drums around it and have no clue how to mix it.
***** DJ Mustard is a shame. The only beats from "him" that aren't that bad are actually from ghostproducers. Like the my nigga beat...A other producer made the melodys and sounds of this song and he just added a snap, a clap, a kick and a 808 which is not even in the right tune. But he gets all the money and the credits for the beat. I do not begrudge anyone their success, but only if it's deserved.
yep totally agree with you there..finding sounds can be time consuming and kill the vibe..its best to pick two or three synths and learn them inside out so that you know where to get the sound or make it quickly when you need it.
@glasspig exactly my point! You have to be knowledgeable about music in general... that's like a general criteria to being a successful producer. But knowing how to play an instrument isn't the same thing as being knowledgeable about music!
I have a new producer to look at on the CZcams. He lays it down flat. Plain and simple. He's not trying to hide any secrets. He tells it like it is. Everybody give it up JR Rotem.
a lot people don't know how many hits this guy has made. he's a super producer for a reason
you never read his article in scratch magazine and it shows. dude is trash
Generic ass beats
What did he say in that article?
@@g_o-a_t Generic hater.
@@g_o-a_t extremely mid fr
knowing your music theory helps so much.
This man ran late 2000s/early 2010s pop lol
For real lol. I’ve been saying this for years, he’s a legend
@@Falcon2.39-1when you hear "J j j JR" at the beginning of a track you know it's going to be lit.
4:17 that synth lead though! damn!!
+SuperMikeBeat it sounded like the GTA San Andreas song
old school west coast Gfunk mang I hear ya!
He used it on California Vacation by The Game
I recognized it immediately. That track and Pain No More by E-40, Game and Snoop are two of my favorite tracks produced by him@@tanv91
that was DOPE! Much respect to J.R. and his ability to articulate the game...You can here his passion about the craft..Definitely an inspiration

he makes me realize how badly i need to study music theory

Extremely inspirational man. Serously. Loved watchin' every second.
this guy has a set up I can't even imagine!!
soo hyype, makes it look effortless, but he majored in jazz so he knows his shit !
That Shock G -Tupac Chord tells a story on its own!!! Its such an emotive sound!!
Yeah buddy
Never really realized this dude made a good chunk of the pop hits on my playlist that have his signature "J-J-J-J-J- R" soundbyte in the beginning
I am so glad that he is showing his set up. So many people keep trying to get the newest thing out and not using what they already have to the fullest.
This seriously inspired me as a young beat maker, this video meant A LOT!
When he says old school, I say golden age
I hear you brother...... Multitasking and not procrastinating....is the Key Factor to a Good producer.... Big. Up...☝️
I did not expect him to look like this..
Thanks for the inspiration!
The software he used is Pro Tools and he's using the sounds from the Fantom and Triton Extreme keyboards using the Fantom as a MIDI controller as well.
This Guy Makes some of the illustrations beats out there..
Great insight!
a true genius at work!!!

JR is one of the realest producers out there. He seems like a chill dude.
One of the coolest and best producers out there!
Best I've seen on FB...Take note from this guy. He didn't waist time saying random stuff. Much props and respect.
this dude is responsible for so many bangers I loved growing up
This is the best advice I have ever heard from a producer.
I remember I look up who produced what you say beat. And saw this vid on here and was blown away jr romtem is a beast
That Really Inspired me man THANKS MAN REAL TALK
he's more famous for his pop/r&b beats but he's equally a great rap producer , especially when he worked with 50 cent & the Game !
within 40 seconds, he nonchalantly dissed dr. dre... I like it.
***** That is bullshit. Not anyone can make these chords. Dr. Dre gets credits for work he didnt done.
*****
It´s not my style of beats but yes, dj premier is good.

@glasspig exactly my point! You have to be knowledgeable about music in general... that's like a general criteria to being a successful producer. But knowing how to play an instrument isn't the same thing as being knowledgeable about music!

I have a new producer to look at on the CZcams. He lays it down flat. Plain and simple. He's not trying to hide any secrets. He tells it like it is. Everybody give it up JR Rotem.

Muy Bueno, gracias; bendiciones!!!
in the club people find it easier to dance to more simplistic music and also to make radio hits its gotta be simplified so people remember it easily.
exactly my thoughts
are you pulling sounds from the Fantom G? or somewhere else and just using the Fantom G as a controller...?
