[tinktwiceman]

Dope! one of my fav vids from you. Yo what camera did you use for this video? I love the quality. But most of all I love the beat. Your g funk beats are always on point

[hollifiel18]

[Altruwest]

@hollifiel18 All sounds are coming from Software my friend!

[hollifiel18]

@Altruwest oh ''..My Bad ' .Great Work Man '

[ProducerChrissBlack]

Track is fucking sick, where can I purchase?

VISIT MY CHANNEL for some sick Heavy New School hiphop beat!

[TheDrizzo09]

Aye brag, that track is Fuckin the beat scene up. It holds so much character and substance that i rarely hear. I have over 600 completed songs that i would love to work with you on. Man, can you email me when you find the time. Ridley474@gmail.com. I seriously have major compatible songs. I write all of the time as well as trashing lyrics that are not hot enough. I write lyrics that i call parables

[LORDDAVIDSOLOMON]

[theoutsideas]

[bigman72511]

That's was hot,I live in Las Vegas,NV but was born and raised in So.Cent.L.A,And As a producer myself you get a BIG "W" for this groove And for all my L.A and So.California Producers and beat makers Keep G Funk alive,and keep showing that California love.This groove reminds me of cruising down crenshaw on a Sunday afternoon.Once again good job Brotha man.

[S1NI5TER]

Wow such a slick beat! Dope!

[Pranksta305]

thats a nice track! hey f-major i just have 1 question did all the sounds you used came from the maschine or there just your own sounds u got elsewhere?

[youngtone00]

Your tracks are too sick bro. I've been watching your channel for a while. You are one of the best that's ever done it. Keep up the outstanding work bro.

[KTBTHABOSS923]

I need that beat holla at me

Ktbdaboss923@gmail.com

[FreestyleLilWayne]

is that a mini moog i see?

[theoutsideas]

YA COME CHECK MY BEATS OUT

[rdej47]

@Altruwest

Hey man love this track. Just wondering are you using mostly Komplete instruments in this video. Also what are your thoughts on the Moog Little Phatty?

[farris562]

where are your analog synths coming from?



[theoutsideas]

WHO DO YOU THINK IS BETTER ...DR DRE OR BATTLECAT????????????

[kingbeatsbest1]

yooo Just bru you killing it fam i gotta get that Maschine frum you bru CRAZY b

[tankdathomie]

Do you have a site that sells beats? And as far as a MPC or Maschine, is it possible to make beats effectively with just a keyboard?

[Sytrusze]

What effects do you put on your drums? They sound so loud and clear

[Altruwest]

@Sytrusze I actually don't use any effects in this particular beat, its just a raw groove with some drums that I have collected.

[Sytrusze]

@Altruwest Cool thanks man, love your work. Would you mind answering another question? Do you often record your drums with fixed level like the kick and snare or do you just tap the pads real hard?

[Altruwest]

@Sytrusze I like to record my drum groove with dynamics and expression, velocity is a very important part of that expression, so I never record my instruments nor drums at a fixed velocity.

[Sytrusze]

@Altruwest That's all i needed to know fam. Keep em coming!

[ChromeGhost]

Great work man. Loved watching this, it was inspirational. Also just curious are you into sound design as well?

[Altruwest]

@ChromeGhost Yes sir, I have been doing sound design work for the past 7 years professionally

[ekim786]

Battlecats high haha.

[MrRidisc]

great great video and song!!!

[MrRidisc]

synth at 5.30 pleaseee

[CeeRayzWalz]

what about those bass line?? who software, refill or VST do u use???

[dojoe29]

What soundcard is that?

[tylus17]

You shoulda used that riff @ 7:30-7:39 shit sounded beautiful blended with the rest

[tylus17]

What module is that on the rack @ 1:24? The thickest one.

[johnnymassacre]

Is he on e?

[jthemano10]

Amazing

[RAYSBAC1]

I'm from the south and I grew up when the west was on top. This track is too nastey to be just a youtube video. I can see Snoop, Dre, and Game on this to make a West Coast summer anthem. I produce and I like the way you showed the process of playing around until a classic falls in your lap. Great work cuzzin!!!!!!

[Filthuz]

Listening to this 10 times every day. One of the dopest beats I´ve heard in a long long time. Smooth and classic g-funk. 1 luv and much respect to F Major!

[utuber731]

SIC Sic sic

[AlekLT100]

Whenever I need inspiration I always revert back to this vid.

[theoutsideas]

what book did u read the learn the paino???

[slypeezy]

At 3:46 what kind of bass is that? is that already pre-installed in the Maschine?

[rekonizeplanb]

man is that the shit, or is that THE SHIT!!!!!

[kbyer]

That beat is fucking serious!!!

[88lilchris]

nice fucking beat bro

[THondaVTX1800]

Awesome video, I recently updated my Maschine with 1.6.2 and now I can't get my Edirol PCR 300 to respond; do I need to configure it or should it just auto connect?

[bril114]

Once Again (MAGICAL) keep it up Brotha Peace!

[KingAce771]

Yo, Battlecat is high as the moon in that intro...lol. Kush got him right.

[GAG4IT]

the sounds on the keyboard.. are they from Maschine???

[Altruwest]

@GAG4IT they are from Komplete 6(Pianos, strings), KORE 2(Leads and synths), Lounge Lizard(Rhodes) and Minimonsta (Bass)

[GAG4IT]

@Altruwest awesome stuff your creating in your Lab bro..keep it coming!!

[BCBeats95]

@Altruwest i don't understand something here. you got the atc, se-1 and you choose minimonsta for bass?

don't get me wrong minimonsta is good but lol you got that 2 beast modules..

[Altruwest]

@BCBeats95 I still use minimonsta all the time, it has its own sound in my opinion.

[theoutsideas]

thanks man

[theoutsideas]

i just got a quick question man on the mpc how do u get one sound play in 16 different tones

[Altruwest]

@theoutsideas on the MPC if you hit the 16 levels button you will get a menu that allows you to select options such as pitch, velocity, filter etc. If you choose pitch you will also have the option to set the root pad.

[yomamacentmehere]

hell yea bruh thats something tough.

[agebeats]

nice beat, like that twinkle sound

[football3145]

This beat is NASTY! GOOD JOB! I love the melody!

[ermano]

tempo lol? 83?... and now is your using the sound of your motif in this?

[ermano]

tempo lol? 83?

[funkkidmusic301]

another reason why im getting a maschine next month

[dosage13]

Yo man, I like your videos and music alot.. In a post you said you taught yourself to play. I wanted to know if you can recommend any books on theory and/or piano that helped you.. Thank you

Peace

[iMuziqProductions]

What KeyBoards Do You Use? Programs? Any Equipment Period. Im Trying To Be Professinal W/ my Producing. Any Advice Would Help.

[Altruwest]

@iMuziqProductions I actually only use the Motif ES6 as a midi controller primarily because I like the keyboard action. For sounds I use VSTs primarily. I would suggest you dont focus too much on the gear, just make sure you have the basics (Audio interface, Midi Controller, Monitors).

[LouisAvalon]

super dope man, long live the P-funk!

[theoutsideas]

what vst do u use

[Altruwest]

@theoutsideas I use Komplete 6, KORE 2, and Minimonsta

[BossgameMedia]

F Major! Another one brah! Awesome!

[ronzrico]

This song goes hard. Real music!  Good ish fam!

[ewewell]

so long mpc and drum machine hello maschine next week it is on. very nice

[KingAce771]

Luv what you does bruh!! Keep it up. Music is true.

[wwil74]

Really nice!!! I have learn so much from just this one video... Keep up the good work!!! I would say a Maschine Tutorial ... but it's so damn east to use... lol..... holla!!!

[amarcleveland]

It's amazing, in 11 minutes this brotha has managed to kill everything on the radio right now. It's so funky, got me bobbin' my head with a screwface.

[billybadasswilliam]

damn pimp this beat goes hard fam.....u killed it on the maschine...

[nuthinbutbusiness]

allgood man, so after dat u mix n master in protools/logic ?

[nuthinbutbusiness]

Daaaanm!!!! F Major i have to tell u, this beat is BANANAAAAAAs!!! Off The hook, really smooth, to tell u da truth ur da reason why im now planning on buyin a Maschine nxt week, DEFINITELY, was skeptical at first but i've been watchin all kind of vids today on youtube, the 1.6 update with vsts and all dat, tell NI i said ITS OVER!!! There takin OVER, period. Btw those sound r vsts or there from the motif ?

[Altruwest]

@nuthinbutbusiness Thanks Fam, all of the sounds used in this video are VST sounds, I rarely use the Motif for sounds these days

[grappolotraube]

great bassline!!!

[PeteGrime]

wow....

[evdude2005]

SO fuckin sick man. This is awesome. Keep up the great work.

[boomtomb]

Aw man Battlecat though...I'm hatin now...LOL, thanks for you posts F....I got the maschine after avoidin it all this time and If I known then what I know now, I woulda have been had some hot fire...But I'm still trying to learn it.

[Altruwest]

@boomtomb honestly bro Maschine has been very crucial for me over the past year and a half of using it. I think its the best computer based workflow available for creating beats. It doesnt replace a DAW for creating songs and mixing, but getting beats together.....its the truth

[PlatinumSoundzMusic]

bro your like the best producer i know on youtube please answer me one question tho did you have any piano training as i just started using midi keyboard and i am picking up on things fast but just wanted to know if you have had any previous training because your pretty good

[Altruwest]

@PlatinumSoundzMusic Hey bro, thanks for the support! I have no formal training in music. I happened to just read a lot of books on my own pertaining to music theory. I also have alot of DVDs on piano and bass guitar. Today its so much easier though, you can learn about piano quickly on youtube through people like @Gospelmusicians and many others. I highly recommend learning from a gospel player because its the foundation for RnB/Soul/HipHop music.

[PlatinumSoundzMusic]

@Altruwest thanks for tha reply I really appreciate it

[CivilIllEnt]

@Altruwest Yeah, that is what I am doing. I am going to get that Jamal Hartwell CD. Plus I am trying to learn because I want to play in my church.

[KnockSquared]

BEAT IS RIDICULOUS !!!!! Loved watching this Fam !! Its dope to see you flow through it showing the ideas as they come .

[Altruwest]

@KnockSquared thank you sir, you get it! I was really trying to give folks a peek into where the ideas come from as they come, instead of just showing a beat i already made.

[spicyhotone]

the beat is heavy , and he comes so smooth , you can tell this guy enjoys making beats he floats with groove man. nice

[hillprop97]

It was good to see Battlecatt. I've always been a fan of his since that Domino album. I enjoyed the video bruh. It was a pleasure to get a peak at your workflow with maschine. The first keys you layed down reminded me of Battlecat. The finished beat is rediculous. This is that "ridin' to the cornerstore on a hot Sunday afternoon to get a pack of Bon Tons and wild cherry slushie" type music. I hope you release this one man. I gotta have it for my ride. Peace and Blessings to you F.

[CivilIllEnt]

@hillprop97 Yeah, This was a real treat!

[eerereps]

smooth... as always!

[notsogood]

You should bring some girls in and have them start singing this over the beat at the 6:20 mark.

"L... A... Where the gangsta's play.... L... A... Where the gangsta's play... L... A... Where the gangsta's play..."

I think this is the best I've heard from you... Keep them beats banging F Major!

[qdagamer]

Thanks for breaking that down for me mayne,yea I could tell you was moving thru that track cause the light is still coming thru the window the whole time lol..Some cya be going from track to track and the sun will be blazing by the time they get finished it be dark outside they window so I kno you where moving...But I'm going to try it out eventually but I love the Mpc and I like to chop samples,play them over etc..How does it do on samples???

[Altruwest]

@qdagamer I think the sampling is one of the best parts of Maschine, especially coming from the MPC. The only thing it does not do right now is time stretching. The Chopping and slicing game in Maschine is ridiculous in my opinion.

[qdagamer]

@Altruwest Thats whats up,so you just import the samples in the computer and its already in the Maschine???Thats crazy,ima have to play with it real soon..Thanks mayne

[Altruwest]

@qdagamer yep thats pretty much it, or you can sample from external sources as I displayed in my "Sampling from an iPod" video

[qdagamer]

I pretty much got da same set up except the mpc 2500 would be where the Maschine is at lol....I basically do the same thang when i create so how is the Maschine diffrent from the Mpc 2500,plus this track is bangin mayne,real talk

[Altruwest]

@qdagamer hey bro thanks for checking the video out, I would say as a previous MPC 2500 user that Maschine can become quite different from the MPC depending on how you use it. The biggest differences for me is that with Maschine Im using VSTis inside of Maschine, and all of the parameters are mapped automatically to Maschine knobs. The other important difference is that I don't have to track out the stems in real time for 45 minutes, I can drop the stems out into Logic in like 5 minutes...

[Altruwest]

@qdagamer So Maschine actually allowed me to stop using the Novation Remote SL cause I dont need Automap anymore. Maschine also saves me alot of time in regards to basic preproduction. If Im saving 40 minutes of time per beat.....it adds up over the course of a few years lol, trust me on that. I also like how portable my rig is now, everything fits in my laptop bag. I still think the MPC is better for controlling hardware synths, and keyboards, but Maschine has come a long way and is growing

[Lessonification]

you never cease to amaze me bro, keep rockin!

[MarcMproductions]

Yo man thats def some major league stuff... im from boston not even close to the west and i really fell that haha but that was some serious shit. keep doing what your doing. ~ MarcM

[Altruwest]

@MarcMproductions Thanks bro, I appreciate that, much love from Los Angeles CA!

[Jmateo85]

YEA MAN.....MURDEROUS BEAT... MUCH PROPS!!!

PEACE

JASON

[Altruwest]

@Jmateo85 Jason whats poppin fam? Thanks for checkin out the video, how have you been hit me up when you get a chance

[trackattik]

RESPECT!!!

[Willbromusic]

nice work :-)

[thesystemite]

Altruwest how do you set the maschine to have the 4 click count in before recording?

[Altruwest]

@thesystemite make sure you are using atleast Maschine version 1.1, preferably 1.6 though, then hold shift+record on the Maschine controller and you will get a 1 bar count in.

[youngsau]

mashin, straight mashin

[illbeatzdotcom]

West West Ya'll

[Netm8kr]

Sup F-Major, Mad Respect for those Fat Azz G-Funk vibez shared on this track. Bruh, I don't even work with the Maschine but enjoyed the workflow. Keep em coming. The World Is Watching.

Peace...Netm8kr

[Altruwest]

@Netm8kr thank you! I appreciate the feedback

[Brian27R]

I think destructive recording with maschine would be great for the way you record Altruwest

[Altruwest]

@Brian27R I definitely agree, a proper latching Overwrite feature would really enhance the workflow for me and many other users.

[MrShaneGreat]

great composition! salute!

[BullyBeat]

Great beat yo!

[EBL]

What up Fmajor. I know you get a lot of questions about maschine, but I got a question. When you were playing the keys it was like you didnt have to go back and edit whatever you were playing you just played it until it sounded right. It didnt seem like you were running back and forth to the record button. Almost overlapping whatever mistakes you had so to speak. Is maschine capable of doing that?

[Altruwest]

@EBL Actually I jam on top of my tracks and practice the lines until I get it exactly where I want, then I record it. So what you are seeing me do is exactly that, just jamming until I develop a new phrase to record. Im not really into editing my mistakes at all, I would rather just play things over until its correct. Maschine doesnt really record takes at all, unless you used the Patterns as "takes".

[prettdboy]

Made me want to c-walk! lol .... And I'm nothing close to being a gangster! lol Good Shit homie!! You have a new studio set up like every vid! lol

[Mission4SoulsEntity]

FRESH!!!!!!



[fadatiko]

That is truwest!

That lead touched my Soul bro.



[slimmivy]

Good stuff!!

[MrTightbeats]

Man i love these type of beats u a beast bro real talk!!

[goodtimezproductionz]

damn man! this just made me appreciate your talent even more. awesome beat . right around 6:20 when the record metronome come in.....feels classic . I always tell peaple i'm not a rap fan as much as i am a fan of producers and you my friend has just took the #1 spot. (lol) for real tho. up there with battlecat, e.p., quik and daz

[LilWillProductionz]

O.O

Dope !!!!!!

[Juniversal]

Damn that bass is killer... Beat is crazy and that Battlecat shout out is a good look. Keep em comin man!!
