    This is definitely one of those moments where you should just dance and vibe out the rythm. Remember, you are as capable of developing your feel of music as you are studying it.

      Music is not about studying it should come from inside. Of course you can benefit from music theory and videos like this but depending full on those gets you nowhere when creating stuff. Those guys on youtube know their technical stuff very well yet they are just youtubers not artists (most of them).

      @@hercin86 oh it certainly gets you somewhere, like, to a place where you have a groove, harmony, melodies.. It gets you to a place where you can have an idea in your head and you can lay it down on a keyboard/guitar/piano roll etc. It certainly is not everything you need. And ofc you can just monkey see monkey do, but understanding is like having the fishing rod, not the fish.

      @@hercin86 they're different skills but both require practice and studying. Learning to write music in ableton live isn't too dissimilar to the process of learning an instrument requiring knowledge of theory and experience to be able to create your own music. Teaching someone a skill by demonstrating it can help people learn, many of the greatest musicians have imitated others before finding their own way.

      ​@@elijahren incorrect. the 3 in polyrhythm stands for "3" and 4 stands for "4." It is simply a ratio, and as is visible here, 3 quarter notes and 4 dotted eighth notes "sum" to the same value... contrasting rhythms. Many 3:4 polyrhythms encountered include triplets, but what truly matters is the ratio 3:4.
      you can probably argue a more strict defintion, but I feel that most musicians would simply call this a 3:4 polyrhythm

    A good way to make 4/4 sound really funky is by dividing the four quarter notes into sixteen sixteenth notes, and putting emphasis on beats 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13. Each pattern is three sixteenth notes long except for the last one, which is a full quarter note. Or, better notated as 16/16, subdivided into 3+3+3+3+4/16.
    I go into more detail on this in my latest video about two thirds of the way through. You can check it out if you want, but I don't mean to advertise, so you don't have to if you don't want to.

    I’m a guitarist first and a producer second, and I always recommend to people to learn guitar. Why? Because so many “production hacks” are borrowed from the guitar world.
    For instance, the guitarist The Edge from the rock band U2 really made dotted-eighth delays famous. My personal favorite example of his use of them is in the song Bad, from the album The Unforgettable Fire.
    Using choppy LFOs to get rhythm also (I believe) comes from the guitar world. A lot of old guitar amps (from the 50’s and 60’s) had built-in choppy LFOs and people used those all the time. (Specifically, some Fender amps had that effect on-board, although for some reason they called it “vibrato”.)!
