Time to get busy with making broken beats!

What does it mean that beats are “broken"?
How to make DNB / jungle?
Let me show and explain.
I’m using Addictive Drums 2.
I’ll also do a Part 2 later, getting deeper with processing.
Will also put out some breaks as audio thru Patreon later.

Making broken beats / jungle / DNB beats (with Addictive Drums 2)

I also offer one-to-one music production tuition via Zoom and also in the form of private videos.

Tyvm. I find that it’s the ghostsnares and ghostkicks i dont really know how to do, so this tutorial where u went through the trouble of breaking a steady beat up like this was amazing for me. I have the XLNAudio XO which i use for discovering drums from my own Library which i have never even heard before, thanks to the way the plugin creates a point cloud of abt 100k samples i have that are drums rbut might look into buying AD2 just for the rnb funk multisamples which i have none of. Thanks for making this vid. I have wanted to pay someone to teach me the ”interim” beats==shadow drums. This was a massive step in the right direction

Very happy to hear that it helped! Glad to discuss drums. That XO thing looks interesting! I use an app called Sononym for samples that tries to identity similar samples in your library based on a given reference sample.

Love the idea of having some Fanu midi files to play with in AD2. I've been using it for a while, but more to add a layer to chopped breaks as I've struggled with getting anything organic sounding to come from AD2.

Fanu/FatGyver

That's actually a decent idea :) I could do some midi files and also fitting presets…that woudnt cause any copyright issues either. I'll put this on my Patreon to-do list!

Love ADD2, look forward to seeing more of this content for sure man!

Morgan Wright

Was actually going to message you Fanu about purchasing Midi files of breaks / rhythm patterns. I think that' d be great !

Fanu/FatGyver

I can do this very soon! Will do it with/for AD2 but they can be used for any instrument, of course: just gotta make the notes match the right drumsounds etc :)

Great stuff man. Your approach to ghost snares is super helpful, and the point about restraint on the jungle-y tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk is well taken. I often just put that shit on blast but probably could benefit from easing up a bit. lol. Looking forward to the next part on processing to see how you make that "fanu crunch"!

Which AD2 kit is that BTW? Oh Modern Soul R&B.. I only got the Jazz, United Pop & Blue Oyster. Would you recommend the R&B Kit for making breaks, does it cover some ground those other ones dont?

Fanu/FatGyver

Hi Tuomas, and welcome! That is the Modern Soul & RNB kit. Will want to try and do a video soonish where I take that sound a little further, mess with processing etc!
