    In his debut MWTM series, Boi-1da reveals how he and Jahaan Sweet produced ‘Mafia’ by Travis Scott! Throughout these three parts, the Grammy Award winner shares how they created the music using drum samples and virtual instruments. Using FL Studio software, he shows the various parts of the record, discusses how they were made, and demonstrates his beat-making approach. Boi-1da talks about his favorite tools to use and methodology for sample discovery and selection. He explains why he deliberately keeps his sample library scattered in order to encourage the implementation of new sounds and discourage reliance on a formula. Furthermore, Boi-1da speaks of his influences and participation in other projects with artists Drake and Rihanna!

      Bro only needed the loop I guess. Most producers are drum programmers. That's why loopmakers make so much money and get so many opportunities. I think for these videos they should get both producers to deconstruct, not just the drums guy but the melodies guy to.

      See the thing I don’t like about this generation they think shit like this is new. It’s cool but not insane. When listening to music you MUST compare it everything that’s great from 60’s to the 70’s and so on and decide from that point and above is really insane. Because insane means it’s better than people like queen, ye, bowie, the Beatles. It’s cool not insane the person that’s insane right now from what I can see is TYLER the creator Travis and many other are lackin

      Yes, he passed all the tracks to Logic, but the arrangement is from FL Studio 11 and it is with the sounds that he had there.
      In any case, FL Studio 11 has a different sound than the more modern versions and that version works for him because he knows how to use everything by heart. 🤔
