It's very nice, that your videos have its own identity - something, that very hard to own/create in our times. Well done.
Agreed 👍🏽
It’s so rare for a brand new channel to be this good. If this is the floor you’re gonna go far brother. Keep em coming.
Thanks for this lovely comment
facts
Rare but welcome, there's a reason these channels blow up because of the quality and care.
This review is hyping up my expectations so much, I’m going to save watching it when the mood is just right.
Literary what my thoughts were,
This kind of presentation is great - there's not a single wasted second in the whole thing. Very refreshing!
Thanks Conrad! Yes I try and make the videos be as useful as possible, without wasting too much time. Thank you for recognizing that :) I'll have much more coming soon that I look forward to sharing with you fam
you have no idea how much i want you to finish that demo. holy shit it needs to be in my playlist N O W .
Honestly thanks so much fam :) I’ve been secretly working on my music in the background, whilst uploading these videos. I will release stuff this summer, some will be in this style. Really excited to share it with you

Dude this is one of the only good DnB tutorials. I'm not even using the same software and I still came up with my best work after this.
That is a lovely comment to read, I’m pleased you were able to get value out of this :) I’ve got a new tutorial coming in a few days to hat I think you’ll really like so keep those eyes peeled

Thanks for the lovely comment my friend :) I’m grateful to be able to build this little community here and have you as a part of that
great vid those akaizer processed breaks sound wicked
Thanks fam! Yes that akaizer plugin is such a staple in the jungle community, great for layering on breaks or using as a transition. Also helps that it's free :) Thank you for your kind comment my friend

I miss everything about the old times. Games, music, movies, people, everything was better
Glad this vid could provide you with some nostalgia
@@christhescientist thank you for making it
I think I found a hidden gem in this channel, I discovered you from the video of "how to make playstation jungle", how cool, keep uploading videos on this topic and making your mixes, you have a lot of quality with this type of music genres.
What a lovely comment to receive
This man bout to pop off

Thanks for checking it out! I'm glad you enjoyed it fam :) I love making these videos, so it's great to receive supportive comments like this
I love your tutorials! The editing style is really great and I really like how concise they are. I would love to see a deeper dive into selecting and chopping drum breaks from you.
Thanks for the kind comment! And that’s a great suggestion for a future video
Just discovered you, and as a musician who has largely done punk/grunge/alt rock kinda stuff and is ALSO big into y2k gaming and nostalgia, your channel is basically perfect. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks Tanner! Glad this reached you :) Thank you for this kind comment and I look forward to sharing more vids with you fam
Just phenomenal

Very kind of you to say! I plan on releasing some music soon, so I hope you enjoy it :) Thanks for your lovely comment my friend, I look forward to sharing more with you
@@christhescientist That’s awesome, I can’t wait! As a fellow musician myself, I’ve recently been down a rabbit hole of DnB and it’s always so interesting seeing it broken down and demonstrated so clean and concisely!
@@armeniandude3Thanks very much my friend, I appreciate this kind comment :) See you in the next one!
The vocal line you hummed was very nice. Consider finishing this track man.
Thanks fam! I really appreciate that comment, as I was worried people might not be pleased with me just mumbling haha. If I do complete it I’ll let you know :) Thanks a lot
@@christhescientist Bro, you have talent for melodies. That vocal hit me right in the feels and I immediately started to write rest of the track in my head 😅
Been waiting for a new one!! If you can, please dont let us wait too long the next time !

I am freaking IN LOVE with this video format, you, and everything about this video. Damn, this is one of the best vids i've watched in weeks! I LOVE IT! Usually i make more grimey techno style songs, but this really inspired me to make something different, thanks a million, chris!

Thank you very much fam! Honestly it really means a lot to read that and motivates me to make more. Is there anything specific you'd like to see me do on this channel? Just let me know as I want this to be a community
@@christhescientist i would love to watch a walkthrough of your personal beatmaking process . as a beginner, it would help to learn more about how you piece together drums and samples . also perhaps a video about layering these different sounds properly to fill space . cheers bro !
@@saintmyless Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll make sure to try and cover that in future videos. Also I plan on adding some longer, in depth beginner videos to my website. Like 20+ minute tutorials etc. I’ll make a video on here when that’s up, later in the year. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed these so far, my next vid is coming this Friday so hope to see you in it :)
Thanks for the esthetic, stylish and scientific way of your content, my man! Love every bit and pixel you do, keep it up!
Quite possibly my favourite comment I’ve ever received, thank you so much
@@christhescientist i am so grateful that youtube showed me your second vid and im literally fall in love) now im waiting for the next one)
Your videos are amazing! I don't even produce music but I like watching them.
Thanks a lot! Glad you're enjoying the video content and stye :) And if you ever feel like learning feel free to give it a go
Great video! incredible amount of detail for a "short" video. Love the choppage and fx work, vocal sounds so rich. 🔥🏆🙌
Thanks a lot! :) Much love fam
Honestly the best channel I've subscribed to in a long, long time (even though I'm a robot) - quality production / editing / content and all straight to the point
Thank you Chris!
Thanks for the lovely comment! I'm very glad you enjoyed it fam
Awesome video! As a long time production noodler/learner/obsesser and also long time atmos dnb/jungle lover (also anime/cartoon/pop culture sample lover), this video was spot on. See some of the artists referenced in your sample pack and the sounds you're doing I will be looking forward to further vids!
Thanks for your kind comment Gavin :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it
i love this video so much, especially the whole aesthetic of the video! It stands up amongst all the other tutorial channels! keep going 🫡

@@Lumeyyyy thank you my friend
I'm so glad I got this recommended! I was stuck bc my style never felt like lofi but I didn't know how better to describe this kind of sound any better! The vocals guide especially, thanks man! I really appreciate the free options too!
You're welcome my friend! Glad this video could be of help :) I appreciate your kind comment and look forward to sharing my future videos with you! Much love fam
This feels like urban nostalgic music class
Thanks very much my friend, that's high praise! Hope to see you in the next videos
Another fantastic tutorial. Definitely gonna apply these ideas to my own projects
Thanks John! Glad this one could be of help fam
this video's is good. please keep it up :)
Thank you my friend! I appreciate your love and support
He's back! Glad I subbed!
I’m glad you subbed too! I appreciate having you as a part of this community fam
Great pocket on the drums, and that cymbal process was super efficient!
Thank you my friend! Really appreciate that
This video is fantastic. You clearly put a lot of effort in and you deserve every success it may bring 😊
Thanks very much! It's nice to be appreciated so I'm really grateful to receive a comment like this, thank you :) I'll have more videos coming soon
Man, i never comment on YT videos, but this time i need to.
What video quality man, for sure you're gonna be big
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you very much! I appreciate you taking the time to leave this positive comment my friend, hope you enjoy the future vids in this channel :)
I don't make music, just like DnB. You have a really nice singing voice!
Thank you! I really appreciate that compliment, as I've put in a lot of effort with my voice over the years, so any vocal compliment I'm really grateful for :) Thanks for checking out the vid, I release songs on my Soundcloud if you're interested in hearing more. I've got tracks similar to this that I'll be posting soon
As a mix engineer, I seriously appreciate the use of Soothe to tame the upper-mid harshness of your tracks.
You can achieve quite an amazing mix by taming all the harsh frequencies out of your song. It allows you to push your tracks to make them sound brighter and louder, without hurting your ears, at any volume.
Very well done, man. You're doing great!!! ✌
I agree! It's such an under rated and useful plugin, I use it on every jungle/DnB track I create. It's probably the most useful external plugin I recommend that people get
is there an alternative for soothe ?
@@blackears2245 wait until it goes on sale and then purchase it, because there are no alternatives at the same level. I got mine in the Easter sale
@@christhescientist thank you !
lovely content. As a hobby music producer who recently rediscovered intelligent dnb from his childhood ps1 times, I cant wait to try it myself. Keep it up, you rock!
Thanks a lot! Pleased that you're enjoying the content so far :) I'm glad to have you as a part of this little community. See you in the next one my friend
This is one of the best production channels I've seen in recent times, if not the best ever! Everything I needed to know, quickly and in great aesthetics and editing. Subscribed!
Thanks Luis! I really appreciate you subscribing fam :) This was such a lovely comment to read, thank you for taking the time to write it
That third akaizer example sounds amazing omg
I feel like I learned a lot and will try making my own ambient/jungle dnb thanks to your guide. I grew up on PS1 Xbox and N64 so I remember this genre well and I'm glad it's coming back. I want to contribute to it.
That's fantastic to hear! One of my main reasons of starting this channel was to inspire people to want to make music, so I'm glad you feel this way
@@christhescientist Could you recommend a good video for starting w ableton plz !
omg this is great. I'd love to see one about Sewerslvt! She's a monumental artist in my life and it speaks to me. The attention to detail on this video is top notch!
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it my friend
Big up Chris keep up the great work brother
Thanks fam! I appreciate the kind words :) got a lot more coming soon that I look forward to sharing
I love this genre, yet hadn’t heard of this artist; will definitely have to check them out! Definitely also giving me some ideas more generally of playing my own pads and chopping them up…
Yeah they're a brilliant artist, I'd recommend listening to their track: 'Final Fantasy' (which samples Imogen Heap) That's what I based this tutorial around, although they have other great songs too. Have fun with the pad playing
Rate the tutorials. Great editing style. Also agree would like to see a more in depth analysis on chopping up breaks in Simpler but besides that great new resource cheers
Thanks fam! Also you’re the second person who’s requested a drum break video so I’ll make sure to do one in the future :) Thank you for the suggestion
I LOVE the way you present visuals/examples in this video and especially using old game footage like Air Ride-
So glad I found this video this morning :)
Im so glad this video reached you fam :) thank you for appreciating my style and I can’t wait to share more videos with you
love the format!
Thanks Elijah! I'm pleased you appreciate it fam, the style and format of these videos are very important to me. So I'm grateful to read positive comments like yours
would you maybe consider making a video on how to make an ambient pad? it would be really helpful 😇
Yes! I will definitely cover this in a future video my friend :) it’s on my list of content I want to make. Thank you for the suggestion
@@christhescientist awesome!! rly excited for it 😇
Where can i find this song???
Love the editing. Never thought about layering 2 breaks over one another. Thank you for sharing 🎉
Yes give it a go! Works especially well with breaks that have different sounding qualities. So try mashing one which has quite heavy top end (hi hats/cymbals etc) with a more kick heavy one. Have fun and hope this helps
Bro this knowledge I God sent!
Dnb is sometimes I have been wondering about for a while
Thanks fam!
🧎🏾let us pray, for the forbidden sauce has been unveiled to masses😭
Haha glad you found it useful :) I’ve got many more tips and tricks I look forward to sharing with you fam. I appreciate your kind comment
Great video! Keep this genre coming - I love learning about ow to make this kind of thing. I've always wanted tutorials like these. I'm curious - what was the 808 you used?
It’s called the 808 standard 1 JW1, available in most online packs (jungle jungle etc) however any short punchy 808 will work. Just shorten the tail of any 808 you like
@@christhescientist Cheers :)
I'm just getting back into making music. Videos like this that break down a specific style are super helpful. Also some of the coolest edited tutorials I have seen with the way you use Win95 windows to show the various clips.
Thank you my friend! This was really nice of you to comment and I appreciate your support :) I look forward to sharing new videos with you and I hope you enjoy them just as much
Aight, your presentation is on point, and the tutorials are real good, always love to find a smaller channel (I know 30k subs aint small, you are doing real good) thats popping off.
Thanks fam! This was a lovely comment to receive :) I appreciate the support and love
@@christhescientist Oh im definitely subbing, EDm production has always been something I wanted to dabble with, and now I found a source for good tutorials!
Any plans on making more comprehensive introductions to various DAWs?
damn bro u cooking
Thanks fam! Got more otw :) new video dropping in the next few days, so feel free to check that out
@@christhescientist lysm
Thanks for the comment! It all helps with making this video reach producers
Just found this channel and Wow got me hooked frrom the very beginning and it inspired me so much to go and just play with ableton and the samples. Keep upppp man you re great
Thanks Rui! I'm happy this vid managed to reach you fam, I appreciate your kind words my friend and I look forward to sharing more with you
Absolutely LOVING your vids ❤️🔥

Awesome content, love the 90s vibe
0:41 noooooooo, let the music play longer
Thanks for the feedback :)
I've just watched your uploads - and really enjoy your format and style! Wicked videos! I can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeves!
Thanks AJ! I’m so glad you’re enjoying them fam, likewise I can’t wait to share future vids with you :) Lots more coming soon!
I'll be sticking around to check it out that's for sure. I'm not a musician, but I love learning. These are fun sub genres of music - and definitely some of my favorite vibes. It's fun to learn about the back ends of it, plus I love the music theory explanations. It helps put some of it into context and understand why it works.
i didnt even know this was a genre and now im in love, will be making tracks in the style
I'm glad this vid could be of use! Yes, definitely give it a go. It's such a fun style to make :) Much love fam
@@christhescientist After a few months here is my ambient dnb track :D you inspired me to make it so i wanted to share it with you
So fucking cool. You reignited a deeply woven but as of before watching this, deeper buried, desire and love for making Atmospheric DnB. You're so fucking awesome thank you
What a lovely comment to read, thank you :) glad this could help inspire you fam, I really appreciate your kind words
Awesome, more please!
Lots more coming! I’ve got a lot planned for this channel that I look forward to sharing with you :) Thanks for your kind comment
very awesome video, well done mate, this is gonna be one banger of a channel !
Thank you fam! Really means a lot to hear you say they :) I appreciate the love and support and I can’t wait to share my next videos with you!
