Really wish I've seen this ten years ago, when I decided to muck about with zero idea of what I was doing. Just the work with LFOs and envelopes here is inspiring to a beginner.
"In an interview I conducted for music radar." That line just surprised me, this guy is so thorough he interviewed the guys who invented the musical techniques. Crazy!
you are really out here making God's work. I cannot possibly overstate how valuable, comprehensive and detailed these videos are. I feel literally anybody could make jungle masterpieces just by watching this video and the one you made on jungle breaks. thank you, Maestro!
@@TimCant even if its just the basics people would great appreciate knowing the process of starting a track or maybe live stream then its more natural just doing what your feeling
@@jumanjidnbuk6152 TBH I spend dozens of hours on my completed tracks and even then I bin loads of them 😩I'll have a think about how I could make this work though, cheers for the suggestions 🙂
This video did not only help me create jungle breakbeats, but it also made me appreciate the background to sampling and how sounds and techniques relate to other genres!
I just recently found out about Miami Bass and its such a wonderful genre to pick the breakier stuff from and spice up your Jungle mix. Those clean funky deeeep basslines combined with creative old skool sample use and a touch of Kraftwerk have basically the same "soul" as early Jungle, just with a focus on BASS instead of drums. Makes it a great switch up from all the drumfuckery and gives everyones brain a proper squeeze while keeping up the vibe :P
i can't get enough of this, more more more ! i have a serious problem though, my head is full of tutorials that focus on individual elements, little tips and tricks i can't find a vid on actually putting all of this disparate stuff together into making a full track though arranging a song, telling a story with it for 3 mins + is hard i can do a hell of an 8 bar loop tho
Well for what it’s worth once I’ve got a 16-bar idea I’ll tend to work on the drop section to make sure that it’s got enough impact. Once I’ve got somewhere I’m with that I’ll do a 16 that builds a little on the drop 16, then after that go into another idea. What I find very useful is analysing other producers’ tracks in a very conscious way. Maybe try dragging a track you like into your DAW, chipping into sections, and see how it changes in each part. Quite often it’s just a case of the producers adding and removing different ideas 😊
@@TimCant ty for the tips !! i'm digging into it! a great thing i picked up is using the locaters at the top of ableton. also cmd + shift + x/c for copy/cutting on every track within your selected time makes moving stuff much easier.
One of the best vids on old school baselines. Big up! I'm producing old school Jungle Tekno at the moment (93 style) and have incorporated the donk bass which was also popular at the time 👍
Same here! That’s my fave music. Has been since 93. Even tho an oldie only been learning production 18 months. Got a wicked studio now and some tunes ready to go just gotta work on the mixing a bit more. Up for collabs?
@@danceablesolutions yeah man sounds good. I'm completely self taught, since around 2018. I've DJed since 95 so I know how tracks are constructed, but music theory has been and will always be a steep learning curve.
These are so interesting! A lot of music I like has its roots in jungle but I don't know much about the history so I love that you cover that aspect of things. I especially appreciate the links to the tracks where these techniques originated so you can go listen to what the OG music sounded like.
Thanks again for the lesson Tim! Another useful tip is to group the basses into an instrument rack and add the parameters you would like to adjust to the Macro key maps (e.g. LFO rate or filter cutoff), then save it for later use 😄😄
Airwindows Mackity is an excellent sounding (and free) plugin emulation of Mackie MS-1202 preamp distortion that was made more or less specifically for this kind of stuff.
This video is amazing, came here straight from the breaks one, why is no-one talking about how cool your paperboy t-shirt is though?! thanks for making these!
Wow this is really on point. Really appreciate the references to originals ! I've been trying to replicate on ableton's operato, got the 808 and the reese but I'm a bit stuck with dred and that special overdrive/saturation coupled to resonance... Their overdrive stock plugins sounds bad :(
Yes it is :/ I have included links to the tracks mentioned in the description, I know it's not as convenient but at least you can peruse them at your leisure :)
Next level tuts! Some great tutors around but none that do the exact music I like, obviously d&b tuts go a long way but Tim just goes straight for the junglist jugular. Pure hardcore!!! And he knows his shit too
I reckon that’s probably Jack Smooth’s Korg 01/W programming in action. There’s nothing quite like it in software, but check out my rave stabs video for some sounds that come vaguely close 😬
Absolute legend Tim!!!! (If anyone knows of any decent links to any of those old school breaks etc CD uploads, please let me know. Frenzy and Warfare etc. found a zipped one but cant seem to open on mac
Creating all these in depth videos are really cutting in to your your cleaning up the room time aren't they? Much appreciate your priorities tho. Good stuff.
Tim Cant is my favorite Jungle professor! I've learned so much from watching your series here. I really appreciate your overall approach and solid history lessons, bigup to you sir!
hey tim, ive been having trouble altering the bassline without it going full ostinato throughout the track- i was wondering if you had any tips regarding my little predicament.
I’m not sure I quite understand. Is it the case that you’re in Ableton Live and using a short MIDI clip that’s looped for the whole project? If so what I suggest is using cmd/ctrl + J to consolidate a, say, four bar selection. You can then write your bass line to length, then you can duplicate or loop this clip out for however long you need. Of course I might have totally got the wrong end of the stick! 🤪
slick stuff
Big up buddy, I’ve always loved your tunes, respect! 👊👊👊
Been waiting for more uploads from this guy ever since the masterpiece he made on jungle break beats
Amen brother

His last name might be cant. But this man definitely can! Thanks for the tips. Helps alot.
"In an interview I conducted for music radar."
That line just surprised me, this guy is so thorough he interviewed the guys who invented the musical techniques. Crazy!
We don't deserve jungle videos that are this insightful, comprehensive and organized! Thank you, Tim! Can we do stabs/hoovers next?
Oh god that sounds a bit difficult!!! Maybe 😁
@@TimCant thanks for making the stabs video! :)
Wholesome TH-cam moment
I've now completed my Tim course on Breaks, Bass and Stabs.
Thanks for the suggestion to complete the trilogy :)
came here to comment but everyone has already made the same sentiment. so informative. Absolute genius! Thanks!

Would love to see making a full track from start to finish
I have a lot of trial and error in my tracks so I’m not sure if I’d be able to make a good one, I’ll definitely think
on it though 👍

The bass gods have answered my prayers, Tim to the rescue!
I just got back into producing music after a ten year hiatus. Thanks for the refresher!
Great content! I love that you cover some history. More jungle videos please!
Always show the neighbours love....
With bass.
This video did not only help me create jungle breakbeats, but it also made me appreciate the background to sampling and how sounds and techniques relate to other genres!
This deserves more likes. Concise, on point, a real 101 for those learning the history. Big ups

why wasn't this video around all those years ago when i started making jungle. 10/10. great tutorial.
Thanks Tim we used the akai test tone back in the day

The history is really bringing me back to some classics that I need to dig out of my collection. Cheers.
I love those videos. They are so well referenced and its obvious you have a long-lived passion for the genre.
This is the knowledge of the gods
Tim. I need to hear your spotify playlists. Please. I love your vids
Ok I think I found them 🤩 now I need you to create an old school jungle/dnb playlist. Thanks in advance 🤣❤

thank you so much! Love the fact that you uploaded all the presets - absolute legend behaviour.
What a great video - simplifying and explaining 👊
Amazing video. No one is talking about DJ Aphrodite's bassline. I am trying to find a tutorial for years now :(
This video is extremely informative. Gotta love it!
perfect tutorial for junglectober
This video is amazing, came here straight from the breaks one, why is no-one talking about how cool your paperboy t-shirt is though?! thanks for making these!
Thank you for this concise, bullshit free video. TH-cam needs more of this.
Wow this is really on point. Really appreciate the references to originals !
I've been trying to replicate on ableton's operato, got the 808 and the reese but I'm a bit stuck with dred and that special overdrive/saturation coupled to resonance... Their overdrive stock plugins sounds bad :(
I love these videos about Jungle music production! Can you please make a video about Jungle Pads?
I love jungle pads and hopefully one day I’ll get round to it! 🧘♂️
@@TimCant That's great, Jungle pads are everything to me! Thanks for the reply! 🤟🏻
@@d-waxthajunglist4049 well in the mean time I highly recommend copping the Korg M1 and Roland JV-1080 VSTs if you haven’t already 👊
my new definitive resource. amazing
great video. very frustrating that you can't include snippets of the old tracks you're mentioning due to copyright
Yes it is :/ I have included links to the tracks mentioned in the description, I know it's not as convenient but at least you can peruse them at your leisure :)
You are the jump off my friend!
Great stuff, tho im sure the dread bass is a simple FM patch rather than a filtered square wave
Biggups 👊
Oh how needed you I my life Sir. Top thank you .
Please mote bass tutorials!
thanks my dude this helps alot
This was excellent Tim! I loved all the references to the different tracks
Thanks for watching buddy I’m glad you liked it ☺️
I wanted to let you know that you content is amazing, I absolutely love the mix of history and tutorial, Please keep it up!

Return of the Cant... YES!
Thanks for teaching me to make a sine sub BITD 🤩
Solid videos! Fingers crossed you have some more coming!
Wow, excellent videos. Thanks
Great video, i do miss a short snippet of every song you reference
Next level tuts! Some great tutors around but none that do the exact music I like, obviously d&b tuts go a long way but Tim just goes straight for the junglist jugular. Pure hardcore!!! And he knows his shit too
Loving the history added in. You're the man!
tHANK YOU pROFESSOR bASSLINE
thanks
Thanks for sharing.
This was so well done and presented. Thank you for putting this classic bass session together.
The dred bass sample was originally from future music vol 1 but it was just reversed in dred bass
Great job! Big thanks Tim! And i really need your quick tip how to recreate the amazing bass line from Mad Dog - 'Monged Out'
I reckon that’s probably Jack Smooth’s Korg 01/W programming in action. There’s nothing quite like it in software, but check out my rave stabs video for some sounds that come vaguely close 😬

Nice one Timmy

Cheers buddy! I don't have time to do playlists ATM but links to the tunes are in the description, hope that helps :)
