  • In this video I condense down all the elements needed to write 80's funk and boogie music. From the music theory behind it, cultural influences, drums, bass, chords, leads, and more!
    I'm using FL Studio, however any workstation will do. So if you use Ableton, Reason, Logic, Studio One, and so on there will be no issues following along.

    I really like how you play a clip of the song you're working on before even getting to the discussion. It's nice to have that idea of what you're working towards with each element discussed, going forward.

    Wow I cant believe I found this gem of a channel. Been looking for some really in depth, intuitive explanations as to ‘why’ these songs sound the way they do rather than an endless trove of “here’s a beat I made in an hour that kind of falls into *insert genre*” This song wasn’t made, it was COMPOSED. Much respect to your craft.

    I really like the level of these tutorials. They are a serious stretch for me, and I find myself pausing them to play around in FL studio to try things, or pausing to go find a sub-tutorial on how to find/route the plugins, or rewinding sections to try to play along with the parts live or reconstruct a drum part. You must put a lot of effort into making these videos, so thanks! I'm getting a lot out of them.

    Theory, I know, but production in a DAW and pop styles, I don’t. Therefore, I get a lot out of your presentation. Thank you!
