    As a fellow Metro Detroit beatmaker....this is almost exactly how we did it back in the day! Certain parts are quantized while others are off. You literally found the sauce! Now comes the rest of the pasta...we would also swing parts of the melody, bass, etc to get a kind of off kilter feel through tracks! Me and mine experimented with this since we all heard Get this Money back when Fantastic vol. 2 came out on Goodvibe! Cheers from the Metro area!

    Are you sure your example of swing using the FL swing knob is correct?
    The way I understand it the swing knob moves every ODD 1/16th note close to the next EVEN 1/16th note. In your pattern all the hits are on EVEN 1/16th notes, so none of them will be shifting.
    If you lay down a high hat on every step you will hear a huge difference in with the swing at 0% and 100%

    I read an interview of Dr Dré somewhere long ago. He used these micro-nudge tricks to prevent his drum elements to hit at the same time. Besides the humanized feel, it also allowed him to push his faders a little louder on each drum element precisely because they didn't hit at the same time, inducing smaller peaks he could push harder during the mixing phase.

    Finally a solid video on this concept. I’ve seen so many dilla inspired drum tutorials where the final result sounds nothing like him because of the emphasis on the swing function or just playing with no quantize and that’s it. dilla was all about real drummers not just in the playing of his drums but the velocity of certain notes and where they sit in the mix. Glad to see someone finally talk about that

      @vape your feelings I believe if you call yourself a producer you really should already know these things. Dilla's "oldschool flow" was done on various hardware samplers including the Akai MPC models when they arrived. They have Roger Linn's MPC swing inside them. Dilla didn't use FL, or even Fruity Loops as it was still called not long before his passing. So I suggest just using the MPC MIDI groove templates that no doubt come with all DAWs now, along with a live played aspect amongst it. And using three different ones for each kit part; not one swing over everything as he did here. (Regardless of him playing 8 beats which the quantization won't pick up !) That can work for House though, even though most don't and choose the way I said. Up to you if you want to try it. I've been working as a session keys player for both live and recording for signed acts for the last 30 years, and learnt from some of the best. Some of the tracks I wrote and worked on got into the top 20 album charts (what's an album ? lol) on Hed Kandi many years ago, and since then I've kind of been an A&R man for certain colleagues and managed to get them deals based on demos ! I seem to have a knack with seeing potential in tracks. I'm mostly Logic for the last 23 years or so, but MIDI is MIDI, so I'm open to chatting about quantization or whatever. I don't self-proclaim a title for myself; I am nothing. Except a channel for music and art. Humbled unto music and the creation of it. Since before any profession I had in the industry. Any thing that comes from music creation is a bonus. When this is the focus, everything else falls into place, and people will call you what you are without any self-proclamation needed. There is no backdoor. 🙏

      Yeah well, I am a producer even if I can learn some new things about production every day.
      I don't have special gear, just a laptop and a small, cheap MIDI.
      I don't sample from Vinyl, I sample from youtube(jazz/acid jazz songs mainly) so it's really hard to relate to a genius like J. Dilla, who didn't have FL Studio or any type of DAW, bc I'm a modern boom bap producer.
      But I feel like sometimes it's actually harder to do it w/ FL Studio, bc there's so many options you can get lost in them.
      And also bc my MIDI is shitty so I have to do everything manually, and it's especially hard with snare rolls and stuff like that.
      Also, there's the typical delayed horn effect (you can find in most of the old school songs) that was hard to figure out, bc there's no video, or not any that I know of online which shows you how to do that with a DAW.
      So yeah, there's always new things you can learn online!
      I think I'm pretty good with my production of boom bap, but I am also open to learn. :)

      @@vapeyourfeelings3909 Hey there! Give me a link to a vid which has a song with this "delayed horn" thing and I'll be able to tell you whatever g'wan with it.
      Mate, a "producer" firstly is actually producing finished product. To be a producer, you need to produce. You've said you are still learning. You are no doubt not "producing" then. It's just fact. Secondly, a producer always works for a record label, unless he or she has their own label. Or maybe they write and produce for their own publishing company, and then license off the track to another publishers for a certain amount of time. The label will send certain types of artists to certain types of producers. This is not what your life is, is it? If you call yourself something, learn what it means first. No disrespect. That is why I'm saying be nothing! Be yourself. If everybody is saying "I'm a producer" but they aren't involved in the things I mentioned, they are not a producer but have simply chosen to tell people they are. And if that's the case, do you want to sound like all of them who we laugh at ? Other session musicians of my age, and the engineers and producers I work with, do all find this to be farcical. I.E. "the industry" laughs at people who call themselves producers. Now you know, and I'm sorry. GenX took a word which has a meaning already, tried to change the meaning, and failed. Still help you with delayed horn thing, bro. 🙏

      @@vapeyourfeelings3909 no shame in it, I've been a producer for 20 years, started programming drums in 1998 and it's only been a few years since I fully understood Dilla's rythms. A lot of the Dilla feel was induced by the limitations of his MPC, he was just very smart in the way he used these limitations to his advantage. There's an interview of Questlove talking about how Dilla programmed his drums, very interesting. Basically, the idea is that if you play a rythm wrong once, it's an error. If you repeat it, now it's groove. Also, I read elsewhere that although he did'nt use quantize on everything, Dilla knew perfectly the effect of each and every swing percentage of his MPC. Could have something to do with him being surrounded with musicians since his early childhood. If you want to get close to what he used to do, you also need to understand quintuplets and septuplets. Detroit drummers took a lot from the hip-hop scene and now you can find these types of swing everywhere. I recommend Slynk's video channel, especially his videos on quintuplet swing and septuplet swing, used extensively on Erykah Badu's and the Roots' albums. Also, read this, it's a goldmine www.brltheory.com/analysis/dilla-part-ii-theory-quintuplet-swing-septuplet-swing-playing-off-the-grid/

    There is no swing at all, because your pattern consists only of 8th notes. Swing manipulates the even 16th notes.

  • @mykdubz128
    @mykdubz128 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    That drum pattern example you have at the beginning only has straight 8th notes. You can turn up the swing knob till insanity and nothing will ever happen as most DAWs quantize to 16th notes by default. The ghost notes or like musicians call them "triplets", those are the 16th notes in this beat. An 8th triplet beat would be a Blues Shuffle (B.B. King-Rock Me Baby) for instance. Add some 16th notes to your pattern and then krank up the swing knob again. I don't have FL but I'm pretty sure you will hear the difference then.

      Triplets is 3 notes played over the duration that one would normally play two notes, so where 8th notes would be double count of the beats per measure or 8 over 4, 8T would 12 over 4. 16ths is double time.

    At 3:45, where you're A/Bing the swing control, I don't know FL Studio so I'm not positive of this, but my guess is that what that knob really does is control the amount of swing of the notes that come between the kick and the hat and the hat and the snare and so on, but that beat you've got doesn't have any of those, so that's why the knob isn't doing much (if anything). I bet if you programmed in a James Brown or PFunk drum pattern, that knob would do a lot more. I keep trying to find a video that really breaks down exactly how swing works on Ableton versus FL Studio versus other programs.

    You you touched on a lot of great points here! I have a few that may help
    1 if you don’t have a drum pad see if your daw has track delay. Then you can push your snares a little early or late
    2. Ghost notes apply to the entire drum kit! Kicks, snares, hats.
    3. If you’re feeling bold you can use the off times hats to figure out where to place kicks. It reinforces the groove!
    4. Spaces Spaces spaces. Leave space so your rhythm can breathe. What I mean by this is try to keep your kit tight and leave a touch of silence before every element to create very short space and strengthen that groove. Spaces! Especially if you make heavier swing music like halftime (the beat construction is mad similar, just heavier sounds)
    5.the double hit is the golden rule even if you don’t slip your drums. So pair drum sounds just like heat did with the kick
    Kick kick
    Kick snare
    Kick hat
    Snare kick
    Snare snare… you get the idea
    Other than that great tips for foundation of humanizing them grooves 🔥

    No, you can't hear the swing because it's not affecting 8th notes at all. You need 16th notes to hear the shuffle. So, when you're describing shift, it's incorrect. Note shift is a different function entirely and can be used to affect individual notes or groups of notes, by ticks, forward (sooner) or backward (later) on the grid. Supreme often laid drums with the quantize function off. Just do it until it's right, the way you want it.
    What newer producers sometimes aren't aware of is how to effectively trigger and mute samples to keep everything in time with drums that are now "off the grid."

      Fl swing knob will not work at all in this example. It works by delaying even notes (every 2nd 16th to be percise). It delays notes by percent amount. BMP doesn't matter. I don't know what this fellow musician referes to, when he describes how you can hear 50% vs 100% turn of swing knob. It literally does nothing.

  • @Navane89l
    @Navane89l 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yo, so once you get that swing in the drums then how about when you chop samples with hi-hats or snares already in there? A lot of the samples I've worked with had other layers (kicks, snares, hats etc) and it's HARD to get the samples to match perfectly with my drum layers. It drives me INSANE trying to get a samples kick or high-hat pattern to sometimes match perfectly with my drums I laid out, especially if the timing is off in the original recording. Working with samples really is an art-form that I never appreciated until doing it myself.

    • @theycallmeheat
      @theycallmeheat  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      in cases of the sample having kicks and snares, you could turn the attack up on the ADSR. this will fade in the chops and sort of get rid of the initial transients of the kicks and snare for you to play over your own drums. this isnt exact, but one of many work around

    • @theycallmeheat
      @theycallmeheat  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your keyboard is already velocity sensitive so the harder or lighter you hit the pads or keys will affect the sample in diff ways. But how I assign my chops to the pads is by using fl slicer or Serato Sample and the keys/pads correspond to each key/pad

      theres many styles to Dilla. this is geared towards trying to gain "human swing"

  • @samsilk945
    @samsilk945 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    No matter what you will do, J Dilla’s swing has a lot to do with the flaws of the Mpc he used. A lot of tutorials tend to omit that the MPC 60 actually quantized everything no matter what due to a poor MIDI resolution of 96PPQN AND that this machine was actually unable to play events simultaneously, they had to be played sequentially. Last but not least, the midi clock of the MPC wasn’t linear and had a slight non-linear drift over time. All this leads to a feel you can’t quite emulate. In terms of technique, Dilla used a bunch of them. There is a book detailing most of these techniques, I recommend it to anyone who is a fan, it’s the result of a big work of interviews with people who actually worked with Dilla.
