    The orbit concept is a very good one my friend. Thinking about samples as textures is a good tip... that's why I think producers can benefit from sampling punk, new wave and experimental music - the sounds are already interesting to listen 😎👍🏼

      Tana talk 3 from Benny the Butcher has great examples in Goodnight, Broken Bottles, and Rubber Bands & Weight. Boldly James works with Alc frequently and they have a lot more examples of this in Flight Risk, Speed Demon Freestyle, and Belvedere. Plenty more, just keeping it short.

    The Clout Dracula instrumental Alchemist conjured is probably my favourite piece. That one literally encompasses all elements you mentioned plus some reversed sample work. Also the infrequent use of 808.

  • @Dubbudha
    @Dubbudha 3 місяці тому +1

    Subtractive arrangement is a great method if you work with a sampler like an mpc and a daw. You can use a single sequence where you stack all your elements. After bouncing the different tracks you can import them into your daw and extend it to the length of your beat. Now you just need to delete different tracks and add some automations..et voilà

    ALC could literally sit around and make the dopest and hardest hitting boom bap shit all day if he wanted to. It's probably why he got all experimental on us. Must be boring doing the same shit over and over.
    It makes his shit more exciting and unpredictable. Nowadays when I hear an ALC beat with improvised drums I feel almost elated. Whereas 10 years ago it was just like, "just another dope alc beat"

    Guys, I apologize if this is a stupid question, but, when it comes to your drums, it's not 'wrong' if it doesn't 'snap" to the grid? As in, be on time? Could I possibly make a drum loop slightly off grid, kinda like without the timing? It's kinda hard to describe, but when you quantize (I hope I'm saying it correctly), everything snaps on the grid and it's on time, but I've seen some videos where producers say it's a secret that not a lot of producers know about, or aren't able to do, when it's not on time, it makes the drums sound more organic, instead of like a robot. lol
