if this is your 1st time welcome welcome welcome
today we are continuing on dilla month
with some more dilla techniques
we're gonna get into his use of space
so lets get into it
ok guys so this is a quick tutorial
space is your friend
and i love the way dilla uses space
hes used it many different kinds of ways
and many different tracks
and i first started realizing space
back in the 90s with Tribe called quest
pete rock
those kinda guys
and i like how they would take out the snare
and then come back in
on the snare or
take out a
kickdrum or sample
or whatever
but dilla would take out the entire track
like just mute it
i noticed he was the first one that i payed attention
that did that there were probably others that did it before him
but thats the first time i noticed
so imma play a track that he produced
for phat kat back in 2004 i believe
off the undeniable lp
lets listen to part of it
crazy track
see he did it right there
did yall catch that
imma play it back
look at these waves
the space right here is where it happens
and then right back in right
now see space provides dynamics man
thats why you use space
its really helpful to make your beat not sound so repetitive
you wanna change it up a little bit thats a good way to do it
just put some space
so where he puts it at
lets count it
1 2 3 4
so between measures 3 and 4
1 2 3 4
right up in here and you can tell where he
comes back listen
comes right back on the 4
and see this right here
right here is a snare drum
see that
so i have a track here
im gonna utilize this down here
on a track that i have this is a beat i made
a while back on one of my mixtapes
and its called combat
off one of my mixtapes off of my bandcamp site
and i'll leave a link to that below
but anyway its free
lets listen to part of it
lets see
and were gonna utilize
that dilla space technique
ok so imma put it let me find a snare real quick
ok right here
here's a snare right here
so notice right before here
its some sound
and imma take part of that out but what imma do is count
imma count
2 3 4
ok let me start a little back
1 2 3 4
so right here
1 2 3 and 4
imma do the and of 4
so that would be right there
now this is not on a grid or anything
i just dragged these tracks into a protools session
so nevermind these up here its not on a grid
at all
i dont even know what bpm this is
but anyway
lets listen now
see
i think thats a dope technique man
use it to your advantage
you know what im saying just
take some space out
here and there
right before the snare
comes in and bring it back
use that to your advantage
