J Dilla Inspired Techniques
In this vid, we examine a technique from the legendary J Dilla where he uses space in his beats. I've used this technique very often with individual stems but first recognized it with the production of QTip and Pete Rock. I just feel that Jay Dilla took it to another level. This is demonstrated within Protools but the concept can be transferred to any hardware or software.
This is only one of many J Dilla techniques, but if you listen to his production on Phat Kat's debut album called Undeniable, u will come across so many dope techniques just from that one album alone. The spirit of Dilla will continue to live on and shout out to Ma Dukes for creating such a legacy thru her son Dilla Dawg aka The King of Beats.

Dope tip.
Miles Davis - "It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play."
Salute
That is like a metaphor for life too. Miles on another level.
yes kraziAzian ! thats the quote i was going to use also! first off, cool tutorials, been watching them go by, this is a couple years old but your dedication here and your excitement is/were refreshing! so dont be alarmed but i had to come in here tell you something. that "space" is his and madlibs little signiture thing they were doing. uhuh. think about. first it was the ghost notes and then that. inmyohsohumble opinion of course, but thats the point of view im sharing with you, if you havent seen it in the meantime.. AND, i think qtip did it first...i cant rememeber the beat. everybody was doing drop outs on the 4 and he had one where theres no snare...early 90...i dont know, but its one of the better known ones...sry. hope you kept it up, peace
the first thing inin is a i’m just going going out kill in i’m in in in a a utility utt i’m kitty ut in kim kim the first first kill kill a un in junk junk junk in in in junk in kitchen i’m junk in in in un in in a a a kill kit in in junk in in a a junk in in a row inin is is the junk junk that i i junk junk junk junk and and then uthen then junk junk in in a un junk in u in in un in un un in un junk in in in a few uiminutes hours i’m in in in in junk i’ll just just in in junk junk i’m in in in a little bit and i’m u in in in a long long i’ll in junk in junk in in in un in junk junk junk food is not in in in a a a a ink or something i’ll give give in in junk in i’ll i’ll try it it it it junkit it the other junk in junk in in in in in a a junk junk junk junk junk and the the junk in junk in u in in in junk in junk i in u in in i’m in in in in un in in un in in in junk junk in in a couple in in in in in un in in i’ll it
The fact that dilla used a status quo sample, and it sounds good is a testament to his sample flipping skills, his ability to switch up stuff and subvert expectations. Genius
+Ben Hughes great comment
Dilla month has been sick
Seriously
as pretty much everybody says, you got mad talent and lots of great tutorials!! shame that so few are actually watching this
Word.
+TheAbotun i appreciate that, feel free to share
Straight up
+TheAbotun Biting is still looked upon with contempt
not a shame!! lucky us :D
Yeah man! I am familiar with that technique, everybody does it from Premo, Pete, Black Milk, RZA, etc... But its a great tutorial JFilt, go looking out.
+phenomena17 my pleasure!
the only problem in this tutorial is that Dilla didn't cut directly from his master, he dropped the other tracks but kept the snare reverberating to fill that 'silence'. Try cutting all other stems but leaving a long delay/verb on the snare- it'll pull it together.
these are just inspired concepts not to be mistaken with what he did exactly, but thanks for sharing the tip
Most def, there's a slight reverb/fade, instead of cutting the master, but the point is the technique of space gives you plenty of room to introduce other sounds or make a more dramatic part of the rapper's lyrics. Good tip!
It's a choice really. Lofi hiphop is basically Dilla distilled into a formula.
That was an open hat but still a good point
Yours and sandurz (beat breakdown) really give aspiring producers some good insight. Ty man
+LorcsRunnin my pleasure
+LorcsRunnin sandurz is a bum. +verysickbeats is the truth!
+ghost _ dude, sandurz is incredible. he, verysickbeats, and busyworksbeats are all i watch because all three help so much.
thanks 4 watching!

As a Jazz drummer, I played a lot over J Dilla beats to practice my chops and I ear his influence of Jazz triplets. Feeling 3/4 swing over 4/4, some flams to delay vibe on snare-Hi-Hat, kinda Second Line bass drum, and so on... love it
salute
Love this technique, one of my favourite examples is Do the astral plane by Flying Lotus. Towards the end of that track there's a bit where everything mutes to digital zero for 2 wholes beats and there's this one handclap and it gets me every time. Less is more, more often than not
thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the videos!
Chris Clayden my pleasure
Respect to you man. You honestly have the best tutorials out there's. All boom bap no bullshit, like it should be haha.
+Santas lil helper hahaha much thanks!
space is the place
I like these videos..its like Dilla class. When I first started making beats in the early 2000's, taking out space was one of the first things I intuitively learned from a lot of my favorites of the time like Premier, Alchmeist, and Ye. Same with the hi-hat technique but that was just something I just kind of fooled around with(having a seperate set of hi hats doing its on thing as like a ghost note). It's like a very intuitive thing that heads kind just kind of pick up and these videos make me happy. Thanks man
+The Chris Cash my pleasure and thanks for the comment
Yeah we called this pull outs in the 90s and we did it by muting certain tracks as the beat would loop live on the board
2018 and still how I arrange my beats hehe. all tracks playing on the mpc as a loop, then use the track mute screen to mute/unmute tracks live as I record the stereo outs.
I like the fact that you are an MPC enthusiast, like myself, yet you don't have the sickening dogmatic purist attitude in terms of using other types of gear, software, and techniques to create dope music. I salute you for that and give you much respect for being open-minded and willing to experiment. We live in such wonderful times for creating and making original music these days.
Thanks so much for the comment! Respect
Hey man. I use to make beats on Frooty Loops back in the early 2000’s. I was still in high school. I clicked on your video because it had Jay Dee mentioned in it. I watched the three prior to this one. Love your advice and homage to Dilla techniques. I sure miss his presence. Great job though. I wish you nothing but success in your musical career and endeavors. Peace.
thanks for the kind words
I love it too! I use it as well. The first time I noticed it was Dilla. Peace to J Dilla.
i been doing this for a minute i didnt know dilla did this too , my born day too is on dilla's month 😏 . good looks to the series brody ‼️
salute
that beat was sick too,the combat joint
+Kwellz Barron thank u sir
Word as Bond it is!
What's funny is I used this technique by accident without knowing it or watching this video. The result is so dope. Love the content, brother. Keep it rolling
much thnx
I think that whole cutting the sample out for a second is inspired by live d.j's back in the day. They use to crossfade that track in and out quickly to highlight the rappers best lyrics.. Its a great technique.
salute
i been doing this technic for many years, but to camel back off this beautiful process, when i do a lot of my drop outs, where ever i choose i like to make sure that my slice is done at a point where the actual wave comes to its lowest dip, between the kick snare or hat. then after the slice add a fade out to really give the slice a natural feel...thanks agin bro...
my pleasure
I like your name for it. as a turntablist is a natural technique in the arsenal. makes sense to utilize it in beat production as well.
+Nate Ewing if u think about it space can be applied to anything LOL
man i love you, dilla my fav producer
+seantaywest much love back Peace!
these are great tutorials. good pace and energy. Look forward to more.
+Chris MacLean thanks for watching
Yooooo, the beat You made, Combat, is #DOPE AF!
appreciate that!
Love the sample chop on your beat.
much thanks
Dope technique i use quite a lot taking out different elements to switch things up and add bounce. One of my favourite things to do is take away the drums and leave the melody on the first beat then add the drum back and take away melody on second beat then take drums away and add melody back on the 3rd beat then on the 4 with the snare bring everything back.
nice tip
You got me to subscribe with 6 words... 'I think that's a dope tip' sounded so authentically full of wonder! Do it for the love!
much thanks

Thanks for the sub!
love ur vids so muchh man👊👊👊
salute
Another great tutorial i always have problems breaking the monotony in my tracks
+slliks67 thanks bro
def pickedca good sport to cut. that sound u cut after might work well in that spot with another pitch or another sample/instrument of course.
for anyone unsure, u can just slide velocity all the way down on that chop if in a daw. i often do that over deleting.
+The Fresh Peddler - Beats For People Who Hate Radio thanks for the tip
thank you for this series!!! you should do a lord finesse tutorial after your done with the dill series.
+Steve Andreu my pleasure. maybe i will not sure

DOPE concept. Peace!

I could watch 2 hour videos of you producing.
i would suggest following me at twitch.tv/verysickbeats where i make beats from scratch live
Nice video man!
god bless u
+Leonardo 81 thanks and same to u!
You can do that is track mute on the MPC or solo button. I do it all the time.
yep
DJ Premier is another one who has space between the beats and samples.
+djdrwatson yessir
+djdrwatson true man, another producer like Dilla who know's his soul music inside out.
gracias !
mucho gusto
Thanks and much respect for the video...
but i will say in my humble opinion "adding space" will be nice Especially if the beat was has a swing feel to it
Dope video. I've heard others call it silence or "mutes." I liked the demonstration though.
+jjbing3 yessir, thank u
Dare you to do a madlib series like this
+HowToMakeBeats cant tell if you're being sarcastic LOL
Thanks bro
+Gabriel Silva my pleasure
