What EVERY PRODUCER can learn from JPEGMAFIA

gotta talk about how this album was produced entirely on a 303 sampler. makes the production so much crazier

1 zillion likes and I will do a full breakdown of how I made the beat at 3:54

If it wasn’t for you, these techniques would be so out of reach for me. Just the fact that you can recreate the sample chop shows how skilled you are as a producer. Thank you for giving such quality content. 🙏🏼

Wow, I’m actually really honored that you used my vid for garbage pale kids, this is nuts. I’ve never had my stuff used in this way before. Clean video and very nice editing. Keep it up my guy, and thank you again.

The thing with the transition is really cool. Never tried to extend a transition between two beats like this before. Def gotta try it out!

Jpegmafia is incredible. I've listened to his album so many times since it came out. Great work Navie!

I was expecting the GARBAGE PALE KIDS sample analysis to be a stretch referencing the lyrics or something but I was impressed with how you approached the rhythm and melody, and the beat you made out of the random sounds exactly like something that would be on STH! You clearly know what you're talking about.

In electronic music, specially in IDM, downtempo or ambient the idea of repurposing the samples is actually quite common. Specially the ideas of finding rhythmic patterns in rhythmic patterns (by applying stretching, chopping and/or granular processing) and using rhythmic elements of tonal samples as a percussion sounds. Like imagine that you have a set of drone sounds with a rhythmic modulation going on and you are creating a 'beat' by layering those modulations. Another thing that immediately comes to mind is creative usage of delays to create a pulse, or using very long delay feedback to create a 'looper' effect. Also the 'foleys' that you've sampled from Disney sound design team are essential for many EDM producers. My personal favourite technic is to stack simple hi-hat patterns with a heavily high-passed jazz/funk drum loops and layering the reversed short sound of closed hat, which I design with a white noise on a Minimoog. So that way you have a static clear pulse going on with a simple closed hat pattern and also a rhythmic grooving texture underneath. The craziest idea that I've stumbled across comes from a modular synthesists circle and this blown my mind away. So the 'traditional' way to make music is to use multiple instruments (voices) and sum those voices together in a one single wave. Now, the modular synthesists decided to flip the process itself upside down and start by creating a single wave, with only one voice and then make the whole music piece by subtracting from this single wave. The possibilities of current music production tools are almost endless and so we have so many creative ideas just flowing in the air, waiting for being explored. Music is a process of exploration. Damn I love when hip-hop producers are getting experimental with their tools. I'm an IDM producer, but hip-hop music had a HUGE impact on my production style and artistic choices. From the sound of Bristol's 90s underground to the rough off-beat lyricism of early Eastern London to the Kanye's Graduation and Heartbreak.

8:02 saying Peggy transitions from one part of beat to another flawlessly really made me laugh😂😂 His beat switches are often BRUTA

Garbage pale kids is genius. The first time I heard that transition to that nasty distorted guitar in the b section too, I got goosebumps. This video is gold!

Your tutorials are really something else that I don't find a lot of other people teaching on this platform. And they're really on point with the reference material. Thank you so much!

that funny sound beat was lowkey fire though 😂

i might not be able to afford your classes yet, but your yt videos always make me wanna learn new things, thank you so much for inspiring me

Wow really great deconstruction of the jpegmafia sample technique. Your bridge explanation and the examples was on the point thank you for that. Great content 💯💯💯

So well-edited and well done, know a lot of work went into this a+

Even though this approach usually doesn't work, I thought the rigid transition at 9:01 was actually pretty cool, though the bridge is indeed better overall.

This is a wonderful video and your skills in understanding what he's doing then flipping it in your own way are really great. One thing I always catch though in videos like this is when the original artist is using a certain workflow/gear to make music, then the youtuber translates this into their own DAW. For Scaring The Hoes, JPEG used an SP404 exclusively. For example the Lean Beef Patty sample being pitched up I believe he had the track on a pad, then just cranked a pitch knob to get it so high and sped up. IIRC the pitch knob of the 404 doesn't keep samples at the same bpm when pitch changing, it just speeds it up. You did exactly the same thing in a diff way. Not meaning this as criticizing just diff workflows. Keep up the good work!

The way you used the techniques in Garbage Pale Kids and assembled your in beat is absolutely nuts. Yours equally goes hard as hell

I need that beat transition 💎. Appreciate you Navie

Wow. Fantastic breakdowns of these cool sampling techniques
