- This video is a special one because we are diving into the MOST REQUESTED video in our channel history! In this video, we dive into how to make a song like Silk Sonic! We make an upbeat, funk and soul driven record similar to 777, Skate, and Fly As Me! We go over how to program smooth drums in the style of Anderson. Paak, how to lay down funky guitar and bass lines, how to add chord extensions to fill the track out, and how to structure a song like Silk Sonic. We also announce our brand new drum sample library, The Anderson Pack and use it in action!

Bro !!!! this is hard dude, as a producer myself I have to BOW DOWN when I see greatness....you are so VERSATILE my man. keep it up....
👍😍👍😍yes
It’s funny how often you say “nothing too crazy” when your final result is sick and crazy as hell! 😎 Well done!
I know i speak for everyone when I say we really appreciate you taking the time out to label each section of the video on the timeline :)
This was crazy to watch all come together
There's no actual way this just happened! I recently started making my own Silk Sonic inspired track and I've been researching their style and RnB and all that for a few days now. I got pretty far but I'm stuck with the chorus and I can't believe that you just released this video! Excited to see what I can take from this!
Always remember the magic is in the bridge!
@@realraven2000 Yes! The bridge is such a key element in Silk Sonic but I don't know if I can do it justice. Thanks for the reminder!
That's great bro, but you gotta also listen to some 70s funk as well. That's the blueprint right there
@@lameerjhontv6860 Oh you're totally right! Any suggestions?
@@acegameboy6232 Marvin Gaye, Isley Brothers, Earth Wind, and Fire, Kool and the Gang, Funkadelic, Goerge Clinton, Bootsy Colins, gosh so many!
Hype!! And yes totally down to see a downtempo tutorial :D
Coming right up!
Simply incredible sir! That fact that you just cranked this blaster of a party jam out is truely inspiring! Then on top of that you explain so cleanly your process and execution! Bravo!!

This is a blessing bro!! I’ve been producing Silk-Sonic/Funkadelic type grooves for a few years now and def needed that refreshing insight!! I’m finally going to finish up this EP thanks to you- this is the exact kind of motivation I needed💯💯🙏🤙
You got somewhere we could listen to your music? I am always down to hear this genre
@@adamhouston3429 Cool man I’ll check it out :)
Thank you for your great video. I wanna see your tutorial of the ballad style of Silk Sonic !
Im always trying to make music like this w vsts and amp sims in my guitar, never happy w the result I tell myself it can’t be done. This dude proves it can be done and in a spectacular way. Congratulations!
PS: how can u be so versatile???
Drums sound fire
Thank you!! So soooo stoked on this new drum library!
Great video
Well Done !
Killed it bro, the kit sounds amazing, shoutout cubase users!
Great groove 😋👍.
Damn this is amazing! You got the drums down to a tee, really impressive. I'd love to hear what you could do with something inspired by Blast Off. The musicianship in that track always blows me away, especially the "Can we take it higher" section at the end.
I’ll see what I can do! I may be a little too musically dumb for that one 😂😂
@@MakePopMusic this is awesome.
I dont have a problem with it, but if I were you I'd probabaly add a lil more swing to that tom fill.
Omg bro this is soundtrack for movie 🎥🎥🎥
Killed it
love that you dressed according to the video haha
Yeah I would love to see your take on the new Harry Styles album! Great job as always btw!
the fills were insaneeeeeeeeee
Anderson SLAPS
This is sick man 😭
Very nice. Yes, please do a Silk Sonic slow jam. Thanks

Vulfpeck in da house
Video and outfit 🔥❤️banger
Much Love.....
Plz make some tropical pop like cold water and sorry Justin Bieber 🔥
Mans pulled out the suit for the tutorial I love it
Great vid
U should definitely do a silk sonic ballad video like blast off
Petition for a song like Leave the Door Open and Smokin' out the Window
Great video again, you really talented, I'd like to see you do a video producing a song like Sia (1000 forms of fear, This is acting). It would be great fun. Well done
I love the outfit Hshahsa cool bruh
Hi, I really love your content for your channel. And I would like to ask if you can make some video kinda like a how to make song like Niki. It would be really really appreciate if you made it!!
I feel like you & Ian Kirkpatrick would make crazy stuff together
👀
Im really thinking about getting the pack just for those tom sounds. It sounds so thick and heavy as if someone was hitting a slab of beef with a baseball bat. So powerful.
You're gonna want that baseball beef tom sound bro.
hey Austin !! Can you make a tutorial of John Newman style songs like ' Love me again ' or ' Cheating ' ?
Awesome as always
Thank you!!
Please do that downtempo ballad Silk Sonic style tutorial.
Wooww !!!
wooww👌🏻
