Honestly one of the best tutorials I've seen. I feel like it's common see a lot of people pulling intricate eq moves moves and complex DAW techniques but half the time their tunes don't sound nearly as dope as this. Just goes to show that using the right sounds to suit the vibe of your music is way more important than anything else.
@@archietaylor5964 agreed, she has play pro back speakers(over $1k) and midi key boards. I over here just have 120$ headphones and a keyboard kek. Still making tunes tho
S W 5 Depends. Entendre literally just means ‘to understand’ in French so it doesn’t have to be an innuendo in a literal sense. Like in a lot of Hip Hop communities a double entendre just means a rap line with two meanings. But yes, double entendres are generally innuendos
No one ever seems to truly take advantage of Ableton's drum rack. You can create an entire sample sub mix as well as independent parallel/send busses, just in the drum rack alone. As well as adding entire instrument rack to one single sample cell. I understand the benefits of using separate audio tracks but I'm amazed at how many people don't utilize this for complex percussion and sampling instruments.
drum rack lacks punch on the kick , that's why most producers who use a live workflow will layer drums in a session, great tutorial but I must point out, having too many sample packs will limit your workflow, having less you can develop your sound more and bring your ideas out
DUDe FLAVA D is on my top 5 of "Garage" artists, always love her sound and how she pulls off a lot of songs...and another thing I like about Garage are the CHORDS! my god the chords always go in!!!!
I've seen a lot of the producers on ATC using the temporal view on ableton rather than the scene view. I generally like using the scene view to be able to play it live then set it all together in the temporal view. I hear Flava D saying "there's probably a faster way" and in my opinion doing it in the scene view makes it much easier to have different scenes that you can put together. You could always click a scene in temporal view to play around with the notes. I dunno, anyone else do the same thing? I guess at the end of the day you go with whatever works for you, and in this case she does a good job, but in terms of convenience I find my method is much easier to produce a track with.
Been putting it off and off and off, when I get home I'm gonna boot up my computer and finally get to grips with FL studio or ableton.. This shit inspired me
Just buy korg m1, Yamaha dx, select organ, pad, short decay, bring the release back, add bit of attack, play the A Min 7th chord on tripplets, but has to be very light on the off beats of the groove, it has to bounce less volume, you can do this with any synth or daw, I'm just telling you how I use to make this sound back in the days
Flava D is dropping gems left and right, like creating headroom by EQ'ing each sample, stacking and panning hats, et al. Also have always wondered about those plastic UK Garage style bass sounds she uses, shocked that it's just Operator in Ableton. Wonder if the Bass Station II ever makes it onto her tracks.
Good point. Guess I've just overlooked the presets, and programming FM synths isn't easy. But in Ableton, the way she does her drum tracks, do you know if it's possible to Groove quantize a group of one shots to add swing? So many questions. Great video.
I have both FL and Ableton, I use FL more (been using it since 2006, took it seriously in 2008) so I know my way around it better, but Ableton does has its perks. The session view reminds me of the step sequencer in FL, helps me flesh out ideas before putting it in arrangement view.
I am downloading a copy of Ableton as we speak. Love her track making skills. BTW, This sounds like NYC in the background. Subway track screech? And cop sirens?
Less is more. I use to think that until I started producing myself. I use ableton and logic. You don't need a chemistry set of a set up or session to have a great track... it's just getting your head around the less in more issue.
The thing I don't understand about ableton is, now that she has a finished loop - how does she sequence that loop into a complete song? I mean like, getting a variation of 2-3 different loops, like a regular song basically.
are there any tutorials on this "stacking hats" thing with the delay and all? sounds awesome but i didnt really understand what and how exactly she was doing there...
ao much better than against the clock, let them lil producers breathe ya feel me
I was just gonna say the same thing. this was great
i music I know, right?! Gotta let them flow
hopefully, the ten minute beat thing is load of shite, where the art in rushing?
i see the AGC segments as a way of showing a quick look at an artist's workflow, not about creating a whole tune in 10 mins
no fuck that, look at gawt dayum every ATC comments, fulla haters, now watch as this video gon be everyone playing nice in the comments

Facts, facts
Making it perfect you do as the last step
'i had no one to teach me'
same girl. same. im so proud of u for doing it all by urself. i really look up to you.
We need more of these. Flava D is the one!
She is a perfect example to show that you don't need all this fancy gear or technical knowledge to make an amazing track! Love it
she has a bit of fairly fancy gear but i agree
@@archietaylor5964 agreed, she has play pro back speakers(over $1k) and midi key boards. I over here just have 120$ headphones and a keyboard kek. Still making tunes tho
the alesis keyboard (which i got) is less the 200 bux, the vodka on the shelves about 50 bux. thats all u need
I like these better than against the clock. More of these would be dope
Love it, so much better than against the clock because you're getting a real explanation of intent, and the artists style. Thank you!
She's so old school. I've produced since 1998 and I tell you now, she's old school. I love it
it's just awesome. Seeing creating one piece of stylish music made me really excited. Thanks for making great music.
I'd love to see Lorn on either Against the Clock or How to make a track, I've seen a few interviews and the methods he uses for samples are insane.
AMEN
EtopiaCA Couldn't agree more ! Lorn is one of my fav producers of all time
Agreed , lorn has a unique style. Big Reaktor user, love his sound.
Hell yeah
i didnt know her (youtube recommend me). i am really impressed by the track quality and fast workflow. this girl rocks
I like this woman, she collects hats. They don't take as much room as shoes
What... are you talking about wearable hats or hi-hats? I'm so confused
hi-hats... its a double entendre.. kmon man keep up.

Sauce_Aux I use to use audio files religiously but as of recently I have started making use of Ableton's Drum Rack!
Itchy Dez it's such a great customizable tool!
Indeed ^^' It's also nice to be able to switch samples so easily too :D
Itchy Dez oh man! Don't even get me goin on zone and key mapping !

always wondered how these track were made, this was awesome.
midnight club flow lol i luv it !
Really like how she's not eqing the hell out of everything and just using the eq3.
I'm going to take this forward into my tracks
Flava D is has mad skills & she's good at teaching as well. Last year she held an Ableton workshop in London that was super dope.
She smashed it out the park
Her hotkey game is strong. It takes me twice as long to produce lol.
I want to do this can you tell me what software to download
@@MrTeeteeboy she's using Ableton
@@MrTeeteeboy i think the best thing to do is to download a bunch of demos and try it out before you buy a daw
@@MrTeeteeboy but i have to say thats not something i did
Leon Vynehall Please!!!!!
My life would be complete
+10
KEN BLOCK good luck getting that jumped up bell end on here
Bollog Nyessy explain yo self
dunno man. just stuff and shit. nah he's probably an alright guy you know. soryy i'm hungover
"ok let's start with a kick"
-every producer ever
I sometimes starts with chords myself lol
lets start with the hi hats
Gosh, I wonder if it'll be '4 on the floor' with hats on the 'ands'?
@@_P_M_ Called off-beat dumbass
i start with different things every time as i get bored easily
Loved watching this tutorial! Really interesting watch & Big ups to Flava D.
queen of the game
DUDe FLAVA D is on my top 5 of "Garage" artists, always love her sound and how she pulls off a lot of songs...and another thing I like about Garage are the CHORDS! my god the chords always go in!!!!
This was basically like watching a Bob Ross episode
kontakt it's another world, now a days it's difficult find producer with that creativity, it's absolutely pure disco sound.
Loved this, great to see different peoples workflow... Also loved her accent!!
Oi whats this "Leng Flava Nov 16 Dread vocals" i see? samples for another collab?
The all famous vengeance DA-Vocal. Can't leave that one out EVER. :D
YO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT
what moment?
A full Video Of Flava D Producing lol Last One Was Way too Short
wasn't a fan of against the clock lol
haha fair enough
This was a great tutorial. Simple workflow that created a top notch mix, cheers!
This was brilliant, looking forward to more like this hopefully.

try get DJ Q on PLZZZZZ
I really enjoyed this tutorial Flava D
Been putting it off and off and off, when I get home I'm gonna boot up my computer and finally get to grips with FL studio or ableton.. This shit inspired me
this is so good, definitely making a dance track today Flava shut it down!
wassup lengoland
18 inch biceps and loads of gear
Gang
Damn...I like the sound of this a lot. And I like the view from the studio.
Girl you're amazing, just having fun
That track sounded awesome
She's really good at narrating what she's doing while she's working, too.
This really inspires me to make more music and to keep on going.
Mellow Works by RIP Productions defo played a part in making this track. Such classy old skool Uk Garage
Been waiting for this for soooooo long man
this is a great format...please do more of these!
I love each member of t d q but I like Flava's productions the most for pure choooooons
C Martinez her style is just dj qs
Dope more female producers
Rachel K Collier!
and Grimes ofc
jade blue
Maya Jane Coles
lorenzo :P
Great stuff, like her work flow!
really like that typical garage stabs she added in the last, killer. Anybody who know how to make that garage sound @19:35
Simar Singh the "more than a bassline" tutorial with Jon selway on the dubspot channel will get you most of the way there
open operator and select a square wave, then go for a thick filter envelope, a bit of reverb and u should be quite good.
thanks
thanks

operator is a solid synth, just goes to show you don't need loads of expensive vst's to make stuff

Much easier to learn from these videos than against the clock
I tried using ableton once it felt like I was studying for quantum physics 😆
Haha try using logic then 😂😂
Fl is the way to go
it looks too much like excel XD ;-)
Yeah i felt the same first time i tried Ableton, but it's actually just as easy as FL once you get into the flow
I have both FL and Ableton, I use FL more (been using it since 2006, took it seriously in 2008) so I know my way around it better, but Ableton does has its perks. The session view reminds me of the step sequencer in FL, helps me flesh out ideas before putting it in arrangement view.
Always need more vocals, glad it's not just me :D
Where can I find this TRACK ?
thank you Flava D !!
First saw/heard her on getdarker tv !!! Killed it
Sickk! Proper opened my eyes to building drums.
really great walk through. thank you flava d
Cool how many trax have you put out !! Just looked TONS
nice, good commentary, editing, and great producer :)
omg this track is awesome
I love this girl after 10 months, true love?
I am downloading a copy of Ableton as we speak. Love her track making skills. BTW, This sounds like NYC in the background. Subway track screech? And cop sirens?
Late to this party. Solid video
is this track anywhere that i can stream?
damn this track is dope AF.
really cool, she has great workflow and vision, and she's a babe!
Anyone else seen Flava D 🔥 such a boss
starts to get extra wavy @ about 20 mins in
Finally someone who don't tap rhythm lines with MIDI keyboard and doing it by using mouse, keyboard and DAW.
I love what she is doing.
More vidios like this please!
Boy 8 bit, Crookers, Fake Blood, Tale of us, Djedjotronic, Brenmar, Melé, Ross from Friends, Dauwd, Chris Lorenzo, Claude Von Stroke, etc
More of this please !!
How is it that it looks/seems so basic how shes constructing it yet it sounds really good
Less is more. I use to think that until I started producing myself. I use ableton and logic.
You don't need a chemistry set of a set up or session to have a great track... it's just getting your head around the less in more issue.
We need how to make jungle or Drum n Bass like flava d 😂 but this is amazing for the synths!
AAAAHHH YESSSS FINALLY!!! Flava D can wreck shop using just ableton and a bass station 2, im selling soooo much gear...
Where do i get the track?
Putting that Kontact freeware to use!
The thing I don't understand about ableton is, now that she has a finished loop - how does she sequence that loop into a complete song? I mean like, getting a variation of 2-3 different loops, like a regular song basically.
Knew she had her priorities right when I saw the bottle next to the iMac
Wow you have amazing music taste
Sounds great!
Amazing workflow!!
Come on Flava, give us a new album.
That drop is nastyy, I need to know how to make these basses but there are like 0 tutorials.
sick stuff. props! keep it up girl
flava D. top notch producer
I need some of those Flava D X Taiki Claps
are there any tutorials on this "stacking hats" thing with the delay and all? sounds awesome but i didnt really understand what and how exactly she was doing there...
GRIMES, PLS
This is what i needed thank u
All Hail the Bassline Queen!
No messin about here! Wicked 👍
'flava leng collab 2017'
OH BOI
I'd marry Flava D!! 😍😍❤
Really insightful video. What HS Yamaha monitors are those?
Is the VST shes using in kontact built in or do you get it elsewhere, also whats it called?
It's surely appart from Kontakt 5 you can't find it in a bunch of 15 free VST on Nattive instument website for Kontakt 5
