Let's make DNB! 20 mins against the clock [video + project download]
So one thing that has been requested a LOT is to make a DNB beat with Ableton stuff only. So I took that and combined it with my recent against-the-clock idea...and I think this came out quite OK!
If you have never tried this challenge, try it: it can be REALLY difficult. You will HAVE to concentrate on the vibe, as the time goes by way too quick when nerding out with details.
Not gonna lie: there's been a few takes I've done and trashed because they didn't feel good enough. Still, even this one is 100% unplanned, unscripted, so I didn't plan for one sound because I want to keep it true and real to the idea.
I want to give you this project too so you can download it and work on it if you wish!
You can download the project HERE (you may need licenses for some of the packs as some samples I think are from paid packs).
Phewww!

Haha… actually, it’s quite encouraging to actually hear that even as someone with many years experience, that the first few attempts didn’t quite work.
That’s what making music is in a nutshell…sometimes it comes out great with little effort, but sometimes even when you’re real hungry for it, naaaah!
More of that please. It helps us making quick decisions and moving forward and also it helps to see a pro's workflow. That takes off some pressure in a sense that there is not this 'one path' to follow instead just flow and vibe instead of overthinking. Brings back the fun. if that makes sense.
Quite like it, think it came out pretty decent considering the time involved 😎👍
Thanks, yeah, I agree! I dread these challenges as they can end up sounding quite weak...I mean I've been there :P
