[TonyBtheEG]

BOY IN A BAND GOES HARD.

[elsleezomac21]

I need to know the rate or tempo. I need to know a step count or something.. I don't need to go to your website and download anything. how did you get all these likes? Because I don't like it.

[MRHDOTCOM1]

Can you send me copy of reason, protools, and an mpc 2500 yeah? Thanks for you.

[ODSTHelljumper]

[anttbayy]

[emzetpe2008]

[The615JA]

How do we download these samples on a MAC?!?

[bohagon82]

awsome! never seen a drum roll done the right way till now.

[bohagon82]

awsome!  never seen a drum roll done the right way till now.

[2010Hitmann]

No matter how many times I do it my snare roll do not work as good as urs. Why?

[raymondgroothuis]

You could also do this with an NN-19. What is the difference?

[GWoodGood]

how are you copying and pasting as the song plays that hasnt worked for me the few times i tried......gthx in advance

[letmein53]

you lost me man, I'm using reason 5, it must be just a tad bit different, when I go trying to load the sample its only showing patch files...and not any other files.

[GWoodGood]

@letmein53 u tring to load n the wrong spot ....right click in the dropbox section of the nnxt....or hit the folder in the drop down section

[ricado19]

first off! your tutorial was pretty thorough. Second when does race, heritage, or creed have anything to do with being a dope producer. Scott Storch, Eminem, Rick Rubin, Alchemist, Sabzi, and much more are great producers and they are white. Its about being a great musician and having an ear for the music. Although black producers are the pioneers of hiphop production, they just paved the way for the whole world. so if anything pay homage and respect.

[Pierreroy1]

How do you make the screen stick to your snare roll? My screen follows the song...can't make it stick to one spot without moving if the track is playing???

[usernamelame1]

@Pierreroy1 hit F to stop or start following the song again

[iabdi1]

[SweZiEnt]

THANK YOU, SIR!!! Phwew! ***wipes sweat off forehead***

[neenjahbrand0]

[jroc4949]

Thanks now I don't have to sequence in flstudio if I don't won't to

[SweZiEnt]

@jroc4949 Lol! That's why I'm trying to learn. I can do everything in Reason except those walking snares.

[MrJynx85]

@SweZiEnt every thing huh?> i doubt it

[SweZiEnt]

@MrJynx85 What was really your point? Why must shit like this always happen on you tube? Self-hating psychopaths come thru policing and picking thru ppl's comments. Ur suppose to comment on BoyInABand's video, not match wits with me. Fuckin low life!

[MrJynx85]

@SweZiEnt bro u need help..i 100percent did not expect you to say that mate. take a chill pill. have u read what u said..i think u sound like the low life 2 me. iseriously i ment nothing by it by the way.

[SweZiEnt]

Respond to this video... I don't give a fuck what you doubt! Why would I ever value your opinion? I went to your page. Dog, your shit is whack!!! Spend less time staring at the monitor masturbating to LGBT porn and trying to create emotional dynamics with YouTubers by talkin shit. Spend more time using your imagination to make hot music!

[Keemah1]

Really helpful !

Thank you

[arbil7000]

very good and very helpful.

[JuanD86]

da fuck? this is toooo much

[gsgsgsgsgsgsgsgs]

Isn't this made a bit too complicated?

I use the Re:drum, add a 808 snare sample and then just modify the pitch over time..

[smokingclowndog]

question:why is a white guy with an english accent making a dirty south rap beat?

answer:dirty south rappers NEVER make their own beats

[padred12345]

@smokingclowndog Big K.R.I.T. FOOO!

[RekstarBeats]

nice tutorial man but i always have so much trouble getting the snare roll to sync with my drums properlly got any tips?

[TWEShellshockr]

@RekstarBeats I mean there are many ways to Do snare rolls but personally I would use the REDRUM first for the pattern/Then go into the sampling view of the NN-XT and do the pitched roll from there but be sure to remember what drum sound you used and drag the pattern from the redrum line to the NNXT line.

[SJRiverRat]

I enjoyed that bit of information. Now I just trying to put together away to change chords in loops to fit what I hear.. But thanks again..

[sharkdogg69]

Thanks for the tutorial. I needed a way to roll my snare and this is fairly easy.

[jay111525]

what was your tempo on?

i been trying to figure them snare rolls for a very long time

[TWEShellshockr]

@jay111525 Actually The beat itself is Slow but the Drums are in Double Time

for example if you were to play melodies at 80bpm your drums would have to be double the speed! 160bpm

[impalaon4vouges]

@TWEShellshockr So how do you do the "up the tempo" for only the snare roll like it is demonstrated in this video? because I've had trouble with it too… Oh and how long should it be? Half A bar?

[TWEShellshockr]

@impalaon4vouges IN REDRUM double the resolution for something like this use 1/32 resolution. Get the rythm you want and the timing and do your pitch shifting in either NNXT (inside the editor) or use the Matrix. Overall if you do a track at 70bpm's and use the 1/32 resolution it will make the drums twice as fast. i hope that helped

[thesamplequeen]

I have loads of reason refills in all styles trust me something for everyone here as well as sample C.D's/ Loop Kits/ Loop C.D's/ Tutorials and much more.

I have all the factory sounds from every drum machine made in the last 20

years including the AKAI MPC range with MPC programmes. All available in wav or reason refill format. Trust me, you want it I got it I have everything! Contact me for a full list!

[Dropjuice]

Hi, it helped me well but how do I get a keyboard at the end? Or do I have to have a read MIDI keyboard?

[Dropjuice]

@Dropjuice Nevermind, I found it out. Anyway, how will I get that right speed? And if I look you only got a little bar but if you double click on it you got alot of space to draw that Snare Roll. Could you help me with that.

[308beatZ]

ok I want ot make a 808 drum roll for my beat right but..im doing the same thing your doing..but do i have to hold the key to play the whole sound...or is their a way for it to like play the whole 808 kick just with 1 hit on the key...help me out pls and thanks

[sealdazeal]

You rock good sir!!!! This was the one thing I could never do...I'm finally legit...LOL...

Grace and Peace,

seal

[andgar923]

Not sure if you've addressed this, but you forgot to mention that you changed your bars from 1/16 to 1/64

[mialokito787]

hey can you do that and send it in a zip file so i can downloads It :)

[DENIROTV]

Why do all these tutorials sound bitter lol. "in pretty much every down south song" hahaha don't be mad. It's not supposed to be hard.

i need help on how to put the patch into reason i never knew how to put patches into reason, can someone help me by telling me

[rocafeler07]

5 star man

[BLEEZIE315]

Sorry but I didn't learn how to do a snare roll.

[AurisDJ]

thx 4 help

[gcitech]

thanks

[StylistRhymist]

i like fruity loops, a lot more.

but that's my opinion.

which is better?

[bornarydah]

reason!!!!!!!. i was 2 a fl studio user. reason is 10 times if not a 100 times easier and the sound quality is thru the roof in reason. but you have to have a keyboard or controller in order to get a 100 percent from reason but even then. its sick

[308beatZ]

@bornarydah Yea Im good with fl studio...but im on reason 4 right now and it sounds so much clearer and its a bit hard to get use to it when your new to it like me but I like reason better then fl studio

[fthex]

u are the shit!!! thanks

[schn0x]

cool shit

[malakaimom]

went to the site were do you get the 808 Drum at! THank

KARIZMA

The wAy

[sdafsar]

Automation is twice as easy as this.

just have the snare sample you want loaded into a redrum.

draw an automation clip and assign one of the knobs on your midi controller to the pitch knob on the snare sample.

then record it and as the snare roll plays move the pitch knob clockwise. All you have to do then is cut down the automation clip so it only lasts for however long you want it to and there you go :D

[dariunas]

I do this also, but what I love about Reason is the way you can acheive the same results in varying ways.

I actually quite like the method that's shown here. Working in the sequencer can be a little finicky but having the snare already mapped out means you can access a wide range of pitches very easily without faffing in the automation draw section.

Having said that, the reason I'll stick with what you and I have been doing is because I like to see my core drum sequence in one track/place...

[Andre7414]

Coulda been a little more detailed, but none the less, still one of the best reason snare rolls ive seen thus far!!

[bwizzle187]

and plus when you compressed it and said youve turned it to full you actually turned the threshhold of the compression down little things like this should be stated again sorry but why teach half a lesson

[bwizzle187]

covered alot but alot to specify such as the sequencing and position of the notes

and also i cant find the 808 snare on your website - dnt mean to be rude sorry

[SILENTWSDC88]

click on How To Make A Dirty South Beat on his website itll say download patch n you download it but i dont kno how to put the download on reason thats wat im havin trouble with

[geuhe]

i was waiting for a long time to get it soun^ds like this thank u mate !!!!

[coreymoney]

How did you lay down the notes in the sequencer windows? Did you play them out or draw them? Curious to know how you determined how long to make the notes so that it sounds right. Sounds good....but you skipped a step in your explanation. Help us newbies.

[wwwboyinabandcom]

I draw them in, it's more accurate that way.

Try out different lengths to determine what sounds good to you :)

[flandersfails]

@wwwboyinabandcom why have you created seperate combinators for the bass and snare drum?

[CarlosERS89]

@wwwboyinabandcom Hey man, the samples work with Mac too? Cause I couldnt download em.

[SweZiEnt]

@coreymoney I play them first because it's quicker. Then I go back and edit the ones that are too short or too long.

[JACKTOWNNIG]

huh!

[swangin82]

Did you draw the notes or did you play them?

[emkplayboy6]

Dude you like totally skipped the layen down the actual notes part but wut ever

[LEXTRACK101]

shit worked
