One thing that im having a hard time figuring out is if using a reference track and trying to copy the elements is helping me or hurting me… i feel im getting too reliant on that and not making original i definitely try to use a lot of electric piano sounding stuff as a basis for synthesizing chord stabs. sorry i’m new to the forum wasn’t getting notifications so sorry for my late those are good tips… listening analyzing and studying my favorite songs is powerful and that’s how i got good at hiphop so i’ll definitely continue to do that with this genre I should have the track ready later today. Will report back with a link to what I managed to do it you’re interested or if your think it is best done through private message due to forum rules (which I know nothing of), please let me know. Will try some parallel chords later to see if that works but don’t see why not! Regarding music theory, lots of jazzy chord structures, add9, 7ths, 11ths, all fair game here. Analog bass or real bass guitars… No big risers, no crash cymbals or at least I don’t remember hearing any yet. Lots of swing on the hats, plenty of delay everywhere. Also in some cases, classic house and disco acapellas, which I am not sure if they are licensing those or not for their apparently vinyl releases. I decided I was going to try to make something like this, as I do like it a lot, because of this thread.Īs others mentioned, the right samples play a huge role, e pianos, Rhodes, funky bass and guitar are present in everything I’ve heard from these guys. This isn’t so far from what I was making 10 years + ago. However, coming from a hip hop background, you’ll be able to apply the funk to it I’m betting. Learning a minimal style is trickier than it would seem.
It’s easy to keep adding things until it gets messy. That’s the problem that one has to get used to. This style of music is deceptively simple. You can high-pass a bar or so here and there for some variation, and definitely lots of well timed sweeps going on. There’s quite a bit of filter work going on as well. Fold in your ingredients, and bake on medium heat for 45 minutes. If you know someone that can give you some airy vocals, toss them in.
HIP HOP SUB BASS U HE DIVA SOFTWARE
If you use software at all, I’d recommend Lounge Lizard for this, or maybe the Reface CP for hardware? (or a real Rhodes or Wurlitzer if you have access). A little electric piano (Rhodes style) chords always bring out that deep funky feeling.
Bring things back slowly before things hit again. Some dub-tech-like sweeping chords, nice simplified break-downs with dropped out sounds.
