    A tiny bit of Afrobeat, submerged in R&B, and tinged with Trap.
    (Afrobeat will always pose a challenge to a non-Nigerian Producer, because Afrobeat is essentially native rhythm translated with Western or modern musical instruments.)

      Thank you bro! For the samples I open up the drum machine designer and literally just drag and drop files onto it. But there’s other ways too so maybe a video is a good idea. With maschine simply put it in MIDI mode. Hold shift plus whatever button has MIDI mode above it. Then change it to either pad page C or D

      Yo, yeah it's a pretty cool set up, the main keyboard being up there wasn't very ergonomic though so I've moved it now. I'm still using the desktop on the bottom though, I much prefer it. I've linked it here - sguy.co/18803 (affiliate link).

    • @stefanguy
      @stefanguy  Před rokem +1

      Hey Envy, thanks for your comment.
      Personally I don’t see anything wrong with using loops. It is akin to having a musician in your studio. I cannot play the guitar well, so I’ll either use and repurpose a loop, or call on a musician to play it in for me. Producing is bringing elements together. The same thing Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Quincy Jones and many others do and have done. They do not play everything themselves. They bring people and elements together. A skill in itself. I don’t think you have to play everything in yourself. As a keyboardist, any piano, synth element I can play, but things that cannot be emulated well on a keyboard, I may sample or call upon a musician to. On the flip side, I’m sometimes called to play keys for a sick beat maker who can’t play the idea in his head. But just as you’d direct the musician, you’d also tailor the loop. Many producers use Splice.
      Of course I don’t think ones production should just be loops, but I don’t see nothing wrong in reshaping a loop.
      Outside of CZcams I’d spend the time to do percussion etc. But when I’m filming for CZcams I’m trying to make things concise. I’m recording in 4K and working fast. You could do a whole video just on afrobeats percussion (I wouldn’t be the one to teach it) but there’s a lot of depth.
      I appreciate the feedback though, don’t get me wrong. Maybe I should start bringing other musicians in to play other elements. Like I have my brother in the past, a drummer and bass player. The only thing is though, not everyone has access to musicians, so something like Splice is handing, even if just for demos.
