TECHNEWS IN ASSOCIATION WITH POINT BLANK’S PRODUCTION TIP OF THE WEEK


CREATING A JUKE BEAT WITH 808 DRUM SOUNDS


JONNY MILLER SHOWS YOU HOW TO CREATE A SYNCOPATED JUKE-STYLE DRUM PATTERN USING ABLETON LIVE’S 808 CLASSIC KIT


POINT BLANK ONLINE SCHOOL brings you weekly fresh nuggets of music production advice courtesy of the team of pro producer course developers and tutors… This week Jonny Miller (Sonarpilot Audio) takes the reigns:


“The sound of booty bass and ghetto house has made its mark on the underground US club scene for many years now but its most recent offshoot sound, ‘juke’, has breathed new life to the sound and taken it truly global. The lo-fi , 150 BPM rhythms of juke have a skippy, disjointed feel and the accompanying street dance style known as footwork takes the concept of a dance circle to new limits.


“Juke has most recently been adopted by dubstep and bass music afi cionados in the UK; Ramadanman, Mark Pritchard and Addison Groove being just a few names who have caught the juke bug and worked the sound into their bass-heavy productions. In this week’s tutorial (above) I show you how to programme some distinctly footwork-fl avoured beats and how a simple looping vocal


sample can add even more juke characteristics to your track. I am using the 808 Classic kit that comes with Ableton Live’s Drum Rack, plus a vocal sample inside Simpler.’
