interesting, i learned. very gooooooooood. " Big Grin

nice one rudeone, it's helpful for the jump up stuff, i can't beleive he layered it so much, but it's interesting to know WHAT he used to layer. as he said,t eh side-stcik thing he learned from another guy. it's the hardest thing to know what's in layers, since they all just melt together. effects are easy to hear. but that's crazy.

thanks.

Nice post...

Am slowly learning the intricacies of Drum n bass and the more I learn, the better my tunes are and the more I f***in love making this music.

This is a great tutorial for folks tryin to get to grips with building a break and while the process should and must remain a personal creative process, there are some guidelines that will without doubt help you bust out better beats.

Interestingly I've heard a number of folk recently saying they work exclusively in audio when building breaks - What's everyone's thinking on that? Currently I rewire Reason into Cubase SX3 and that works wicked for me currently as I can use the filters n such on all the reason modules as well as VST fx once the signal gets into Cubase.

Peace out

really good tut. liked how he explained most of what of he was doing. seemed like he was using high quality samples cause he didnt go into the eq too much.
the one thing i did notice is that when he clicked on the rest of the track, most of the 1/8ths and 1/16ths he added were drowned out. (might have been the cheap headphones i was listening on)

... and there you go... (37 times) Happy

Nice find, at least this guy knows what he is doing and he gives you a little peep into the kitchen. There is a lot of rubbish being told about layering.

Some warnings to people who want to look at the video.
- The guy is fairly badly prepared and you might want to watch 2 or 3 times to catch everything he is saying if English is not your native language.
- The full sound track gets turned on a couple of times when you are not expecting it and it is very loud compared to the voice over, so it scared the shit out of me Shocked

.
Be prepared Happy

layering with audio is pretty much the same just slower and u can only contral the attack sustain and fade outs on ya drums ya better off on midi man its much quicker audio is a bitch to put variations in ur loops but thats just my opinion nice tut btw
