very interesting tutorial, my friend. i wish i'd had Ableton when i did it! . DM me you email address and i'll fill you in the bits you couldn't work out....
OMG!!!!!!!
Haha ace, Norman Cook been a true legend! 🙇
I remember been 14 and at school when this came out. I started making mixtapes of tracks from a few of your albums as I always wanted to be a dj, so I crudely mixed and two portable CD players, one been a Goodmans but with anti skipping mind! The mixer was a cheap microphone mixer I bought for £6 from maplins 😂
Always loved looking at the inlay seeing the samplers with floppy discs strawn around the studio and the Aciiid slipmats which I always wanted 🙂
debesh.suvat@gmail.com I look forward to it!
OMG
_My favorite artist right now is Fatboy Slim. That guy kicks ass!_
Bro, I'm starting to think we just had the exact same CD's growing up. You just keep covering some of my all-time favorite electronic songs. And the fact that Norman even contacted you is beyond stellar!
Any idea what the second vocal is? 'waking up to find, your loves not real"
Also a video on MARRS - pump up the volume would be epic!
What I love so much about your videos is that you obviously LOVE the music you're recreating.
Another awesome video on another epic masterpiece.
Thank you so much!
I think the drums you couldn't find are from the As One's remix of Timber by Coldcut, which in turn is a sample from Jean Michel Jarre's track September from the album Revolution.
Yes!
great video. Thanks for makeing it and explaining how much went in to the orignal track . Hard yo belive how old the orignal is and still sound s great
I remember my surprise when i sampled the original string riff with my ESI-32, apllied the built-in filter and got exactly the intro of the song 😮
THIS IS SO COOL! 🤩 I can not imagine how hard it must have been to put this song together on a sequencer software and midi-triggered hardware samplers probably tweaking all the filters live by hand...?! 🐿
But hey - back then when there was no internet we had plenty of time to do some cool shit! 😎😂
Actually SOME people do some awesome shit on the internet now... thank you man for this cool breakdown!
Yeah it was so much easier for me with Ableton than it was for Norm when he did it. Respect to him!
So many layers in this track that I had no idea are there. Your ear for this stuff is mind boggling
Ah thanks, it's just practice really :)
just a wicked video from you - thanks so much for doing it
These breakdowns are so helpful if you want to get into the world of sampling.
Please keep on doing them!
For a track I know so well you have shown me new depths that I hadn’t noticed before, and I consider myself an active listener. Always presumed it was just one main hook sample but yeah a masterpiece of sample puzzling has been done to make them sound so seamlessly as one piece and not a montage. Really enjoyed this thanks mate. #bestonyoutube 👍
amazing analysis of a great song by one of my favorite artists, also when he was bassist for the Housemartins... 👏👏🤘
The 'stank-face' is universal, regardless of genre, culture or age.
I love the whole wood paneling + blinking light motif you have going on. My knotty pine paneled basement doesn't even compare.
Oh YES!!!!! Watching this as soon as I get home!!!! 😁
Just found your channel from youtube recommendations. Really cool to see you work through the layers! So much stuff in the tune that I'd never really noticed or paid attention to before.
Love this break down man, dope.
I am so glad I found you a couple of months ago. You have very quickly become my favorite UA-camr and when a new "How Was It Made' pops up in my I have to admit I get a tad excited. The recreations are spot on, the breakdown of each track and the way you explain each part in detail, clearly showing your enjoyment too is brilliant. You also just get on with the detail of the track without any flashy or silly gimmicks, like so many other UA-camr producers. Something for us 90's 20 somethings to engage in, rather than today's 20 somethings. Thank you! While I look forward to many more tracks from the 90's, I'd love see some tracks from BT's Ima album or anything from Bonobo's Blacksands album.
Another killer video... thanks again... I really look forward to these now! Thanks for sharing.
Another great breakdown, really looking forward to the next one, as much as I looked forward to this one.
Crazy to think he did it with old gear as akai s950. Incredible visionare
Totally agree. It's definitely the 'less is more' addage. I remember I was the most prolific when I only had one synth (Yamaha YS100), a Boss Dr550 drum machine and an Atari 520 STFM. Now I have Ableton and 100s of VST instruments at my disposal and I can put out a single tune.
Plenty of classic tracks made on nothing but an S950 and a sequencer!
This is one of my favorite tracks of all time
Another brilliant one, great fun, really enjoyed that, thank you 😀
Love it. Great work figuring this one out.
Another great video i love these they are so well done, thank you. ❤️
Ah thank you!
Brilliant insight and analysis of this classic. Love this series. Nice one ☝🏼
The original uses drums from Jean Michel Jarre’s revolution too.
Any chance some of these sounds came from or were inspired by Brimful of asha by corner shop? I think he did a mix of this. No idea if the timing is right (year). Great video and a lovely looking studio space you have there.
impressive work as always , nice one
Brilliant mate thanks, I have learned so much 👍🏼
Great to hear!
Great work!
that voice was a mellotron sample ;)
Please never stop making these vids! I’d love you see you remake chemical beats by the chemical brothers. Proper 90s acid ☮️☮️
This is fkn awesome
What you said at the beginning about sampling being an art of its own - I could not agree more, especially with artists like Fatboy Slim, Orbital or Prodigy. Some of these guys are taking the art of sampling to a whole new level where they take small bits and pieces from different tracks that come from completely different styles of music to create something completely new that has nothing to do with any of the samples, but it’s whole new music. So I wouldn’t call that kind of sampling stealing, it’s taking ideas and creating something new. And when you think about it this has been going for ages, but artists in different styles have been just using ideas and drawn inspiration from other songs
9:24 the flood!
Great videos, have you done Born Slippy?
Fantastic job! Maybe some Meat Beat Manifesto in the future?
Great video! Another few funky ideas for How Was It Made if you're ever feeling Big Beatsy:
Propellerheads - Take California
Smoove - I'm A Man
With sampling if there are risks then it is stealing. I love the great sample masteripeices like endtroduing and the bomb squads productions. But yeah, legality is legality. Good vid!
I read that Cook never messed with the drum samples kick sounds. Pretty cool considering folks put 8 plug ins on everything now.
The pitch difference was an interesting one. I had a track that I was sampling which seemed to be pitched in a way that even when my instrumentation around the sample was accurate, it still sounded wrong. Has anyone come across this challenge and found a way to overcome it?
Love your shit bruv!
Nice work
excellent !
Great work. That whole generation around big beat mastered sampling, and that means not only manipulating samples with the available tools, but choosing the samples to begin with. Yeah, it is a few samples, then a cheap drum machine over it, FM/rompler synth on top or an acid line - but that is so easy to simplify. There is an extra step (s) in bringing this technique to the masterpiece tracks that still shake the earth in clubs. Also to add to your point on the art of sampling - yes you have guys who would totally change the sample by mangling it, but also, the art is in taking a sample, not change much - but change an actual context of the musical piece you are sampling. I still think the limitations and the slow process of samplers at the time influenced artists to pay attention to every detail. Fatboy, Liam from Prodigy, Tricky/Massive Attack, FSOL, Two lone Swordsmen... and then on to guys like Boards, Autechre etc. that are smothing different alltogether.
Yeah I totally agree, and yes, the context is a massive thing
Nice video, I love this track! The vocal samples at the start are choir sounds from the mellotron, no?
Ooh yeah you might be right! I didn't try that
Wasnt that same sample in Biminys track Rodeo?
Waiting for Porcelan, Why does my heart feel so bad, Return to innocence ... Etc sad songs and very powerful
oooh good idea, I might do Porcelain, thanks :)
(back in November 2004 I found out that this track perfectly blends with iio - Rapture (maybe with a tiiiiny bit of tuning). Just sayin'.)
I think the other lyrics say "Ain't not defined, it looks not real".
Drums - Coldcut and Hexstatic Timber (As One Mix)
yes, but actually I think they sampled them from Jean Michel Jarre - someone else in these comments told me
@@GyuBeats Ahh right. I didn't know that.
@@GyuBeats The beats are a bar loop of a rare Freestylers remix around 97/98, I have it in the loft somewhere on vinyl, I've never seen anyone guess right whenever it's been discussed on the net in various places...
❤️
Did you used to go raving in the London / Reading area? Did you buy records from Reading or Oxford? You look really familiar......
I preferred him when he played bass guitar in the housemartins.
7:27 haha
Sitar in the intro. Maybe Mathar by the Dave Pike Set?
Could be anything with a sitar on it really. It's not that distinctive.
AWESOME WORK! subscribe!
3:38 I really hear a strummed guitar in the highs, as opposed to the percussion you mention
Would love a DJ Shadow breakdown
I'm thinking about doing one...
ua-cam.com/video/VgRbKmVhoOI/v-deo.html THIS GUY DONE A FEW DJ SHADSOW /UNKLE BREAKDOWNS
Very interesting. I once read he made the whole thing on an Atari ST with an early version of Cubase. Is that true?
yes. an Atari St running C-LAb Creator (..and 2 Akai s-950's)

@@FatboySlim Nice.
@@FatboySlim was it the 520 or the 1040. Still got my 520 in storage.
07:26 😂
😆👍
I never was a fan of this one. I always felt like it was an amazing intro to a song that never happened.
Me too
Yeah fair play, I kind of know what you mean
actually i found your email. check your inbox....
Your a gentleman and a legend Norman .
20 years and I still trying hunt down so many of the layers of samples used in your tracks . It’s amazing the tapestry and layering of bits n pieces used in all your work ..
Thanks for a life time of funky music and smiley faces .

Hey man! The sample you’re struggling with around 17:18 is from Timber by Coldcut&Hexstatic, which is itself a sample of September by Jean-Michel Jarre. I’d never noticed it was the Timber sample until I heard you isolate it but now I’ve heard it it’s totally unmistakable! Part of the fun! Keep it up pal, I love it.
Oh and this is total speculation but I wouldn’t be surprised if the noise around 22:20 is him reusing the beginning of Love Loves To Love Love by Lulu - he used that sample a couple of times and built Santa Cruz around it.
Great shout bro,.good ear
Ah yes, that JMJ sample is very distinctive, and keeps popping up all over the place! It’s also on Telefone 529 by Musicology aka B12, which isn’t a well known track but was on Warp’s first Artificial Intelligence compilation, so it’s seared into my brain. I recognised it in Timber, but didn’t notice it here.
You've got to be kidding me! I listen to that song so often and never connected the dots. Hats off, mate.
Same! He uses it pretty heavily in Kalifornia, too.
Another great track, everything you have covered so far has basically been my musical journey of the 90's.
Yeah it's so cool to connect through this music :)
Same here!
So impressive - your ability to work through the layers of tracks is amazing! Loving this series.
Ah cheers!
Around 22:27, the “drum” sound sounds a lot like a really compressed version of the Art Of Noise sample of a car not starting (first few seconds of Close To The Edit)
I just can’t get enough of these breakdowns. Absolutely brilliant. I’d love you to look at Angel by Massive Attack if possible.
Oooh I do love that one... Thanks for the support :)
Akai samplers and Atari ST computers and Mackie mixing desks was the tools of most 90s dance music enjoyed your version
Yep! Cheers :)
Yep. Although Fatboy Slim used a Soundcraft mixer.
See I've said for years to my music snob mates that creating a track like this using samples is as skillful as writing your own string piece, and now i can show them this and they can't deny it as truth. Lovely work as usual.
I really enjoy what you’re doing on your channel! About 10 years ago I too got into collecting the original sampled records and recreating songs that I loved. It’s a excellent learning experience.
Still loving these videos. What happened to Ep 7?
If you're doing requests.... Water From a Vine Leaf is an absolute banger. Saw William Orbit interviewed on TV the other week and he was every bit as odd as I'd expected.
I believe it got flagged for copyright. Future Sound of London - Papa New Guinea
I suppose it's really hard to make an análisis of a copyright song full of copyright samples and not getting a copyright claim.
Love this series ❤. Would love to see one on dig your own hole era chemical brothers!
Great video as always Gyu!
What many don't understand is that Fatboy Slim cut and edited the samples with an Akai S950 and sequenced this and other of his classic tracks with an Atari St.
So no waveform display on the sampler, just cut the samples by numbers and by ear!
Anyone who says sampling isn't an art form has absolutely no idea about music production techniques.
If you're going to be reconstructing music by people known to have used Akai Sampler like Fatboy Slim I would recommend using a VST to emulate Akai S Sampler's cycle timestretch mode.
I think that way you would often be closer to the original track in terms of sound.
Greetings from Germany
Thanks! Yes, that's a great point that I forgot to mention - it's so much easier to do it in Ableton than to do it on the equipment he used. yeah I'm looking at maybe getting TAL Sampler to get that hardware sampler sound :)
@@GyuBeats I would recommend AKAIZER vst. It's a very good emulation of the Akai S cycle mode.
you missed the acoustic guitar staccato percussion that's present in the beginning of the original
@GyuBeats Could you please do "Hey boy, hey girl" next? Or at least the lead/synth.
Dude! Nice job! Not an easy track by any means... you making me wanna get sampling now! Would love to see you look at Chemical Brothers - Leave Home and Leftfield Lydon - Open Up someday! Those warbling basslines 😻
Sometimes, it's worth making the effort to separate the wheat from the chaff. It's tempting to avoid the channels with a relatively small amount of subscribers. I'm glad that I've discovered you, Guy, because you cover some of the most significant tunes in my former self's journey towards musical enlightenment in a way that I can relate to. The search for that perfect sample that could be manipulated and looped in ways that I was yet to discover was what kept me intrigued with creating music. Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge and a calculator were two of my most necessary tools way back then.
I'm loving this series so far and it's almost guaranteed that each time that I learn that you've posted a new vid, I'll appreciate it from start to finish.
You skip through many steps in this series and I'm left wanting to see a closer approximation of your process in long-form. Your thought processes as you negate certain ideas and pounce on others would provide a level of education that is lacking in this weird music production UA-cam bubble. I'm relatively new to Live 11 Suite so I'm craving a vid that documents the process with each click and swipe of the mouse explained. Reason is my main DAW but I'm using it more as a VST in Live.
I'm looking forward to your next breakdown of a top tune from back in the day.
You’ve got me hooked on your breakdown videos. All my 20s favourites from the 90s!
Absolute BANGER. Where did you source the second vocal from and how long does it take from scratch to the finished tuner?
I think that wah wah sound could be Lulu's Love Loves To Love Love that he also used on Santa Cruz
For the repeating 'here' section towards the end, seems there's a bit of delay with a low cutoff panned to the right on the original - which is probably why the timing seems a bit delayed - compared to yours. Love your content btw! Can't wait to see more on other classics.
Great ears!
@@GyuBeats thanks!
You are already in touch with Norman so I won't comment any detail he couldn't give you but WhoSampled has documented four different drum samples. It documents 11 different total sampled sources for Right Here, Right Now. I understand this song was used in many different car commercials too.
This has given me renewed love for this track. Great vid!
Thanks mate!
Isnt the drum in 17:10 the one from Timber by Coldcut?
16.20. I’m sure that rubbery drum sound is off a track on Jean Michele Jarre’s Revolutions album.
I replicated this a while back I was so pleased when I got the drumbeat nailed. Great job loved the video.
Can you share your replicated version!!?
@@kenbolger1137 I would if I could find it, I checked my ssd and I can't find, I will keep looking though.
Think about Hertz, its benefits for your body, music does not need lyrics, simply its frequency can make you feel good
Another very cool video. . . one day these will be as famous as the tracks themselves. Can I ask how old you are ?
Thanks! I hope so. I'm 44
I'm 41,& its the best music ive listen 👏👏👏👏
Another amazing video. You are so good at this! I can’t believe fat boy slim did this without ableton.
Ah thank you! yeah tbh I didn't even think about that - I should have mentioned it - it makes it even more amazing!
So happy to find this video. I'm a huge Fatboy Slim fan, especially when my college teacher introduced me to Who Sampled. Would love to know what Norman said about the bits you couldn't work out
He just let me hear them and I still don't know what they are ;)
@@GyuBeatshe might wanted to keep this as a secret or did he ?... 🤔
@@XBeatAndMore Yes he definitely did!
@@GyuBeats After all it's just some audio files like the others nothing really important
@@XBeatAndMore Well he could get into legal trouble
discovered when going down a rabbit hole, really enjoying all the how its mades.
Cheers :)
Cool reconstruction! Your pitch problem you can sort by tweaking the clip settings - you have 3 in your pitch semitones box, at the right side of the area. Also figured he might've timestretched the "now" to make it flow better, which is another part you were stuck (though he may have told you this in the email already)
Fantastic recreation! Please do an underworld track. :)
Working on one now 😉
16:30
I don't know why you've got that Alice Cooper break on your computer so slow - the original break is what it sounds like when you pitch it up. I don't think that's the break used on the original 'Right Here..' (though it works pretty well on your re-creation)but Norman did use that on the Fatboy remix of 'Magic Carpet Ride' and 'Happiness' by Pizzaman.
