thank god, another producer who plays his own bass... or any instrument for that matter. keyboard doesnt count, and all you people who can play know what I mean. your shit comes out mad natural when you add live playing to it.
I've been a fan of his work for many, many, many yrs, and I don't care if he never becomes a household name... as long as he keeps crankin' out dope ish like this, I'll continue to love him and be inspired by his work. #2ThumbsUpFocus!!! PLUS, he always produces some of the FUNKIEST BASSLINES EVER (I'm guessing his Father instill that in him).
@TheRealFocus Man i think its awesome that you took the time to just give out the name of such a gem, but im curious.. whats the keyboard your playing your instruments from and were the sounds ones you sampled yourself or did they come with the board ?? if you could get back to me it would be mad appreciated
good lookin 2 yall spityogame ppl. that thang is dope yall doin yo thang on the site. Focus is a beast too. Whats the keyboard he uses on the video? nebody
@recherpico bcuz the mpc i used as a midi center with 4 outs to dif modules and the midi keyboard is used to send data to the mpc of which notes that is gonna be played
he has a mix tape that was featured last year hosted by Sway and Tech. He also will have a new one out this year. you can find the info on his myspace page.
no keyboards in general already have sounds. hooked up together the mpc works ass your main sequencer. midi controllers dont have any sounds you need modules or your own samples with the right software
With a computer, if you get a good studio sound card such as m-audio audiophile 2496 (budget price these days ) or RME and use good soft synths and professionally recorded samples rather than weedy GM sounds and sample banks, you can get it to sound really powerful.
thats cause he has real talent in music. Most beats people make are simple and making a beat like this is alot harder, not to say simple beats aren't good.
Sometimes you gotta come back to this gem⚡️
Real talk
best beat ever made on video
been watching this since 2007 lol
This video been in my favorite list for years...
It's 2021 and I still watch this for inspiration I remember back In 2008 college days I picked up bass because of Focus

The dude is a child of music, I bet his pops(Bernard Edwards of Chic) is truly shining on him...RIP..

thank god, another producer who plays his own bass... or any instrument for that matter. keyboard doesnt count, and all you people who can play know what I mean. your shit comes out mad natural when you add live playing to it.

I've been a fan of his work for many, many, many yrs, and I don't care if he never becomes a household name... as long as he keeps crankin' out dope ish like this, I'll continue to love him and be inspired by his work. #2ThumbsUpFocus!!!

@recherpico bcuz the mpc i used as a midi center with 4 outs to dif modules and the midi keyboard is used to send data to the mpc of which notes that is gonna be played
i thinks thats a mpc 3000 that he is using and dj quik uses one as well as alot of producers and also havoc from mob deep.
he has a mix tape that was featured last year hosted by Sway and Tech. He also will have a new one out this year. you can find the info on his myspace page.
This beat is bananas !!!1
@impatientp

Young Buck would murk this

He is a genius !!!
off the scale!!
awsome!! =OOO
no keyboards in general already have sounds. hooked up together the mpc works ass your main sequencer. midi controllers dont have any sounds you need modules or your own samples with the right software
do you already know what key the music is in when you are sampling or chopping it before you start?
That beat was 100% fucking amazing.
With a computer, if you get a good studio sound card such as m-audio audiophile 2496 (budget price these days ) or RME and use good soft synths and professionally recorded samples rather than weedy GM sounds and sample banks, you can get it to sound really powerful.
eh this is PHAT!!!! straight raw make u nodd hard!
2021
where is the final out come? whats the song called and who jumped on it?
thats cause he has real talent in music. Most beats people make are simple and making a beat like this is alot harder, not to say simple beats aren't good.
