as well as good welcome back i hope everyone is doing wow um so yeah today's video was requested
by you guys so pick up you guys voting on the community tab we're going to be doing a
dragon 21 savage type b using the samples they use for jimmy crooks now this video is going to
be split into where i've sourced the samples like what websites i'm using to source and
find the samples i'm recording it putting it into the door i'm making those samples
workable looking at drums and how you can make nice bouncy drums over a sample that
doesn't feel like it's dominating the sample the whole point of me actually doing this is
just to show you how a rough idea of how you can use these samples or how these samples are used
and it's not too difficult to do that's pretty much it let's jump into this one
okay guys so first i'm going to show you both of the samples sample one is by player fly
just awaken shaken and the is by brook benton called you were gone which is the main someone
that's actually used in the beat firefly sample is just used for the intro so if
you guys are wondering where i sourced these i sourced these at whosample.com
and here i'm using the sample chrome extension to record this
same thing with the same with the brook benton sample
we're using sampler take it from the browser and then pull it into the door
in order to make these samples workable we need to actually find out the native bpm of each drag them
in at that bpm make sure they're in time and then put them in stretch so we can change the bpm after
the two samples are at different bpms so now we've got to get this in time
so you can see that short part at the start we need to remove that and put generic bleeding on
and now we've found and got it in time having it in stretch pro means we can change
the bpm and it won't restretch the sound
so now we've put the sample at 53 ppm for the second benton sample okay
but as you see the player fly sample hasn't changed which is really important
so now we're going to line this up we're also going to put generic bleeding on this
so there's a volume envelope between them so they smooth the transition when they're flipping
and for this sample all i've done to put it in time is right click and put
fit to tempo we put 50 to 100 and it pretty much got it close to bang on
it's almost perfectly on
and now we've brought the tempo back up and by having them both in stretch
they're going to stay aligned and stay in time so that is like the first element covered right there
and i'm just pitching up here just to experiment
it to speed up because i feel like that's what happens with the player fly sample
as it transitions into the benton sped up sample so i've pasted the value of 76 bpm
when brooke benton starts but i want it to start lower so it feels like it's slowly just edging up
like not too um not too not too obviously but uh yeah that's kind of how we've achieved that now
here i've got an eq automated on why is that if you listen to the track
the first eight bars of the brook benson sample it's not eq it's got the bass and drums in but
after that we're then going to be adding our own layered drums so we put an eq on there
that's going to reduce a lot of the lows and some of the highest two to get rid of any of the drums
so here i'm adding a wind chime to transition the samples if you actually listen to
jimmy crooks they use a gong but it provides a similar effect and is pretty effective so
just using like little transitions between the samples helps it kind of move a lot more freely
and as you can see here i'm using smooth operator to basically
in in a sense dynamically eq the sample and boost the mids the low mids so now i'm going
to pick out some drums these are all from the gemini junket which is coming out soon
so we're gonna do this all in advanced looping which saves us
having to do it across like a four bar section it'll repeat it for us
now let's add some high hats and start with two-step and same again we'll just loop this
and already we're starting to get that kind of drizzy bounce
just gonna boost that hi-hat up there a little bit now i'm gonna add an open hat
and that's a really good way to just couple up the bounce
and now we're just kind of incorporating the snares in different areas of the beat just to kind
of create pockets of bounce and here i mean graph editor which is a great way to edit your hi-hats
we can also do the release we can do the pan we can do the pitch anything we want to
experiment with we can do as you see here i'm just experimenting with the pan there
and just creating subtle changes to just humanize the feel of the drums that's
ultimately what i'm doing there
so now i want to kick this is the ginger kick from gemini drum kit
you really want to create a lot of bouts with these kicks and they've got to be really punchy
just take some of the out off
that sounds nice actually just take that extra bounce out there and just place it back in here oh
we can double up and kind of give a bit more variation here
that's hard
so now we've got a drum bus going on i'm just processing
it with the factory drums on the drums hot by baby audio
so now we're going to starting with the 808
so i think we're operating about d minor
so we need to just cut that
we're just going to do this to make sure it tails off
very suddenly so it doesn't overlap into the next bar there's no drums
this is an alternative pattern i've created for a different part of the drums
so structurally this is how we're looking in terms of the way i've
laid out this part of the beat hopefully this gives you a good idea of sort of
how you can construct a similar sort of hip-hop trap beat uh in the style of drake's new project
so now when it comes to mastering i'm putting master trap on with baby audio you don't need
this but this is just a means of like i said earlier dynamically cueing things creating
um a little bit less dynamic range and they're just making it sound a bit more glued together
so it doesn't feel like the bass or the kick is like really loud
compared to the melody it's kind of just pushing all that together
so that's into the video my guys i hope you guys enjoyed this video hopefully
either give you some insight on sample flipping and making nice drums or it gave you some
inspiration to just go cookable do something creative that's pretty much the end of the video
obviously don't forget to subscribe show this video some love by liking commenting and sharing
it i'd really appreciate that and also if you want me to do another video on this track there's a
switch up in it that i didn't include by 20 when savage comes in if you can get this video to 100
likes i will actually do a part two follow-up for you love but yeah that's pretty much it
appreciate you guys check the links in the description to all my sounds if you guys want to
level up your sounds i also have some really sick free resources the community drum kit the gecko
melody luca which is the newest one right now and if you want to show any further support as well
make sure you go and check out my other socials by jlib on instagram and tick tock but uh yeah
that's pretty much it i'll catch you guys in the next one peace
once again so you know
you
