Sampling, Looping, & 90s Ambient Jungle / DnB...

Музыка

Ambient Jungle / DnB producers in the mid 90's utilized sampling / looping heavily, not much different from what hip-hop and house producers were doing at the same time. In this video I'll show you how to sample and loop a core vibe, and then flesh out an intelligent drum n bass song around it #bitwigstudio #ambientjungle #musicproduction

    Really love the downtempo jungle, this needs to be appreciated more. Sometimes 170bpm got my heart racing 😂

    @@Thought-Forms when I came along your channel, I was surprised you didn't use something like Reason as your DAW. What drew you to Bitwig? I've heard so much good shit about it recently. It's PRICEY though. Some more Bitwig talk would be sick. Dude, embrace the chug.

    Lovely track. Your channel is a Time Machine back to my 20s. Thanks for keeping the best of the 90s atmospheric dnb alive. Makes me wish I still had my Akai S2000.

    This is a great video Bobby, in fact one of your best and pretty much covers everything anyone needs to know 😊 …. But for me that liston smith sample is too pitched down as greenhalge’s version of it timed with the break chop is just imprinted in my mind 😂 you should have come up with it first and then yours would have been!

    No reason mate, just wasn't really paying attention to bar length. If I were doing something for release I'd go 8 or 16 bar groups. Cheers friend!

    Another awesome video! 🤩 Thank you! One question: does the presets from the Intelligent Jungle Pads vol. 2 you mentioned at 8:35 also work with the Triton Extreme plugin or just with the Triton plugin?

    Thanks mate! Honestly I'm not sure if they would work on the Extreme...I'd say probably not to be safe. That said, if you get the Korg Triton VST from Korg you'll get both the Triton and Triton Extreme, so can load in the "original" triton :)
