@@nodayoff1000 yeah they did, alot of their samples with production techniques are all very analog. Lots of stuff that was recorded to tape.
That was his pops speaking through the bass line... RIP Legend 🙏🏿
Focus adopted Dre’s attention to space and applied it to rhythmic placement 👌🏼
Focus is a dope teacher 🤯
Focus is the greatest, underrated musician of our time. Love all he does!!
Reel ADT is a SICK plugin, highly recommended!!
Its The Space around the sound that matters .
that vinyl really brought it to the next level
Agree with prior comment, this dude needs his own Channel BADDDD
Priceless tricks here. By the way the track is pure fire. This guitar loop reminds me the kind of music Ennio Morricone could have write for a dark scene in the movie "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly".

"Almost to the money like Laughlin" is a hard line.
Damn, i aint heard hiphop like this in a while!
I really like the J37, it has such a great sound and character!
This series really makes me revisit some plugins i haven't used in a while. Thanks for uploading these! It would be amazing if the vids in this series go a bit more in depth on the way they are used and why they are used the way they are.
This is as real as it gets. It's the little magical ideas, experimenting, and bringing the feel of art. Thank you for sharing this.
A brilliance before permanence is what I sense from this. Love the examples with clarity on the A to B. Many thanks.
Thanks for a quick and to the point explanation. Some of the best modern mixing out there is on Malibu.
Spot on advice and creative use of Abby Rd plugins
Love the way you used these plugins to get that feel Brotha Man...very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Your video was very intuitive! The concept "space is an instrument" I view as part of music theory.
Great video. It really makes Abbey Road plugins shine !
This is an awesome presentation. Thanks focus.. Gb
Mayne that whole sound when that bass kicks in, huugh!

I would bow down and kiss this man's ring, for being Bernard Edwards' son.

In the 90’s music use to sound lo-fi because thats all there was but in 2019 plugins are being built to create a lofi sound on purpose.
Dope asf.
i need to see this dudes work station, desk set up
Thanks for all the info Focus but what more important is you're Bernard Edward's son. He was one of the few "popular" bass players who's baselines I loved. He was great! Hey man thanks again for the video. It was informative.
