    Just realized, since kanye changed the kicks and removed the snares from waves, he took the drums from this and turned it into the watch dogs theme, even using the same VST to chop up the same chorus sample.

  • @Dragoneer
    @Dragoneer 2 роки тому +46

    I love the fact that he uses FL Studio as his main DAW and Gross Beat. That’s what I use, so it feels more inspiring to me. Gross Beat is one of my favorite effects because it can automate the whole sampling process and you can create time shift and noise gate patterns really easily with it

  • @poindextertunes
