El-B on drum programming, working with Burial and sampling | CDR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Legendary dubstep & UKG pioneer El - B stopped by The Front Room in Croydon last October to reveal how he makes those drums so crisp, alongside an informative insight into his production style and for a general chit chat about how his upbringing influenced his creativity. He also welcomed a member from the audience for a quick hands on tutorial on how to make signature El-B beat. A must watch for all UKG and dubstep fans!

Absolute respect to the (only) guy asking questions of any worth, especially the burial question. Proper rare insight there you won’t find anywhere else.
And large up el-b. Absolute OG of this uk garage thing. Proper character too.
Mad that more people weren’t asking more questions! What a missed opportunity.😢

Legend mate!
IMHO this and the 10 year old + studio interview with EL-B that's also up on UA-cam are two of the most informative tutorials on producing electronic dance music (of all genres) going. If you're just starting out, or studying at the moment, pay particular attention to this man's wisdom and natural talent. Liked and subscribed.
Yeah that Computer Music tutorial is legendary
Watched that untold times
Keep it funky and keep it simple
100%
Legend for doing this!
That is a very good teacher right there. Thank you Sir,!!!
legendary insight from a real og.
Love his honesty, i guess when you’re an established o g you can tell it like it is
Thank you for this! Legendary producer who’s influence is understated.
El-B, what a G 🔥🎛️
Such an insightful video, props to El-B for being so open, absolute don. Very interesting to hear about his Latin music influence & musical upbringing.
sounds like burial's using a tracker if the screens going up. you can quantize the midi but not the samples in older trackers (unless you chop them up). massive respect to El-B btw, this isn't a tutorial, not a masterclass, it's just straight wisdom!
Absolute legend !!
Thanks for this!
I really would have loved for the sound of his computer actually would have been lined to the video audio
Legend!!
Nuttin comes close to garage, transcending
