Breakbeat of The Month #3: a whole new discovery! (video + samples + projects)
So I (with some help) have discovered a whole new break, which, I am pretty sure, hasn't really been used by the breakbeat community much.
What's the song and who helped me? Where did I use it before? Well, watch the video and find out! Grab the break as well as Ableton and Bitwig projects before.
Hope you enjoy!
(My audio is a bit off sync here and there; after a whole of configuring things and testing stuff, I'm still having sync issues when I use my iPhone as camera, which gives me nice quality but fecks up audio sync, so I have to fix things manually, which is major pain and time hog...hence in some parts you may see it's slightly off, but this shouldn't affect learning. May have to go back to using my iMac camera, which ain't the greatest, but doesn't create issues)
BTW if you like the content, it'd be super nice if you let ppl know of my Patreon – it would help it to grow! I would love more new paying members and also interaction (what I miss from my Youtube days is the interaction :-)

BTW if you want to grab a breakbeats cap, get one here: https://fanumusic.com/shop/
(sorry I can't offer discounts on those, as profits on those print-on-demand products is already really low – as opposed to if I hustled them all myself, which I don't have time for...used to do it some 10 years ago when I had much more free time on my hands)

Do you need Live Suite to do ping pong loops on the end of each slice after chopping? I only have Live Standard and mainly use Logic. Anyone know a way to do that method in Logic?
It’s on all versions if you just have Sampler. I have Logic too and I’m pretty sure it can pingpong!
That break is from Weather Report-Misterious Traveller. That band were a super group, ahead of the time with Joe Zaniwul, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorious was there too for a couple of albums. Thanks for the lession, it was great. I love this series!
Thanks for the comment and insight! More soon :-)
Loving this series, more breakbeats please! 🥁
Awesome as always! Thanks :)
now i know what stranjah has been on this whole time
This breakbeat? Probably not :)
can you make a downtempo beat from a break in a next episode? i think that will bring forward different nuances than when making dnb
Yessir, good idea! Will def keep this in mind when picking breaks (not all breaks work at all tempos)
"no not that one I'm not on ketamine" .....lol spat my coffee out when you said that. Cheers for this much respect Fanu
Bass sound choice is directly relative to ketamine used on that particular day!
ghosties (TM) Do you ever eq individual hits within a break? For example would you consider taking the air out of a hit with a lowpass? Or would you say that would mess with consistency of the overall sound
I've def EQd kicks and snares, and sometimes resonant hihats too, for a better end result. Whatever it needs! Doing some filter envelope might work nice instead of a lowpass.
Great vid & the break sounds amazing any chance we could have an Ableton live 10 template for the break as I’m still using live 10? ☺️👀
Glad you like! Ah heck, sorry, I've only been using Live 12 for some time – don't even have Live 11 anymore :-/ You can prob grab the audio file .asd from the project and that will prob work and give you the chop points, and then you can chop it to drum rack...I hope!
What a cool break. Thanks Master Fanu. I really love that you include bitwig projects btw.
No probs, glad you like it! Btw I think BWS can load Ableton projects too (will test soon)!
