"Space is really an instrument " Gem!!!!
for real this is so true
Old basic tip. Everything starts with space...
Mayonnaise is an instrument!!!
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my account password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Darian Wesley Instablaster :)
My laptop CPU peaked at the guitar chain 😂😂😂😂 This man is the truth!!!! He needs his own series. As much he doesn't want it, he also needs his own Waves preset folder!!!
might be worth getting...its a bit of hocus pocus..who cares long as it sounds dope I dont care..wait for the sale though
They paying hime very well to do this commercial / review!
Because he loves his waves plugins! He even slipped and mention the vocal rider! lol
Had to back peddle for a sec and remind himself this is about abby roads!
This is awesome, loving this kind of sound, vintage and modern vibey, sounds dirty without being lofi.
JimijaymesGuitarist doesnt sound dirty at all... just a lot a of reverb
@@ICA_Ghost there is definately alot of vintage style harmonic saturation in there.
Tribe call Quest quest brought the lo fi sound and dirty filter sounds into Hip Hop
@@nodayoff1000 yeah they did, alot of their samples with production techniques are all very analog. Lots of stuff that was recorded to tape.
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".
bruh that joint is so simple shits crazy!
Focus is the greatest, underrated musician of our time.
Love all he does!!
Its The Space around the sound that matters .
Reel ADT is a SICK plugin, highly recommended!!
Agree with prior comment, this dude needs his own Channel BADDDD
that vinyl really brought it to the next level
I really like the J37, it has such a great sound and character!
That was his pops speaking through the bass line... RIP Legend 🙏🏿
Focus is a dope teacher 🤯
Thanks for a quick and to the point explanation. Some of the best modern mixing out there is on Malibu.
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.
Your video was very intuitive! The concept "space is an instrument" I view as part of music theory.
Focus adopted Dre’s attention to space and applied it to rhythmic placement 👌🏼
Focus is a musical genius!!!!
Damn, i aint heard hiphop like this in a while!
"Almost to the money like Laughlin" is a hard line.
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.
Spot on advice and creative use of Abby Rd plugins
Track plugins always have the most epic-looking GUI's!
A brilliance before permanence is what I sense from this. Love the examples with clarity on the A to B. Many thanks.
I keep hearing more and more great things about these Abby Road plugins...definately my next purchase
I have the TG Mastering Chain and I highly recommend it.
man they're crazy good
man they're crazy good
Watching this while adding plugins to my cart lol 🔥
Thats funny because I am still puttin up a fight. Squeezing my wallet shut! (maybe)
Daddy KoolPop feel u. But I couldn’t pass up on this deal
@@ayospvceman aaah THANKS alot! Now I'M Broke. But when get my ear into a few tracks (with my new plugins), tappin' my foot, bobbin' my head, I will feel like a rich brother. Plus, you were right, since they had some fair deals this weekend. (dirty trick) Peace & Jam On
More Focus videos please!
this guy is the legend
"Dre used to tell me that space is actually an instrument." SIT WITH THAT!
Focus!!🎼👑🎹🔥
Mayne that whole sound when that bass kicks in, huugh!
| waves needs to really have a "Focus"-inspired Series of Videos! After seeing his 1st one, I thought more were to follow instantly.....not even 😭😭😭
That j37 is 🔥🔥usin' it all over my new project
Focus needs his own plugin series fr 💯
This is an awesome presentation. Thanks focus.. Gb
man, it's really killer how they showed the before and after from the beginning...that speaks VOLUMES
Love the way you used these plugins to get that feel Brotha Man...very nice! Thanks for sharing!
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.
let the man stand on his own. crazy backhanded compliment
@@MrSTAYUP33 yeah that was a bit crazy. Focus is a bad cat. He knows what he's doing. My bad. Props to Focus. ✌️
Just "enough to Envy" you know!
How come this song isn't out anywhere, put this shit out. It's fire
Sounds dope. Really, really, dope.
Cool this dude knows what he do. Respect 👌🏻
So simple. But sounds so good

King of the Bass Lines Bernard Edwards/ Focus is no joke ..love his bass lines also Great video showing his steps
Logic Pro X 🔥🔥🔥
This was dope especially cause I use the same exact chain.
I love the guitar sound
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.
5:55 Call me 'Old School' but I like recording Double Ups, doubling my single take just sounds lifeless 2 me
IKR it just transforms the vocal, I recorded myself for a track I was making one and I wasn't feeling it. As soon as I did the second double I was like "woah that sounds dope" lol.
Great video Waves. Focus is a dude!
i need to see this dudes work station, desk set up
Dope track
Lawd...that track is super dope!!!! Y'all did that mane!!! Where can I stream that song???
Yo, I cant find this track. Anybody got a link? Its so smoooth.
TheDudeGames I think at the end it said “Laughlin” by Focus... and Thurs? Not sure if that’s the track name, but otherwise just Shazam it?
@@KidWithaKalling517 it straight up says in the description “Laughlin” by Focus… & Thurz
