In this video we'll be creating an Alt Rap/Jazz Rap beat from scratch. Mac Miller was a big inspiration for me as a music producer and the sounds and songwriting he produced on the last two albums before his tragic passing were outstanding.
In this video, I'll use live instruments, acoustic drums and vintage-inspired instruments and synthesizers to create a beat from scratch with that authentic human feel that can be tough to achieve when working strictly inside a DAW.

    Kept getting swimming mixed up with swimming pools! Loved doing this one, might have to dive more into some of Mac's earlier stuff too

    man I can hear Mac's grouped vocals in the beginning and then his signature laidback raps at the beat where the bass drop out. Beat is wavy man; RIP Mac 🕊

    It's Studio One 6 and yeah you're right it's basically a mix, I used to use Pro Tools but the Midi was awful so can deffo recommend this DAW. Thank you man, glad you're liking the videos!

    It's super easy with those libraries, it's really just about adding a nice amp sound (I use TH-U) and keeping the parts realistic to what a real guitarist could play! Next time I use it in a video I'll add a little more explanation in there!
