I made a track from scratch on the DT in this 80 min video

This is more of a “how it’s made” than a tutorial, but I did my best to be informative while making this track. There have been a few people asking me about my process, and I thought I’d try to make a whole track from scratch on camera.

00:00 Intro
01:35 neat way of loading samples and loading drum samples
05:25 Making a basic drum pattern
10:15 Adjust volume for each drum sample
11:30 How I set up patterns for making and trying out beats
13:40 Resampling the 1st drum loop
18:55 Cut and rearrange the drum loop
25:15 Replacing samples quickly to make new drum loops!
28:25 Change drumloop while a pattern is playing to compare them!

31:25 Coming up with a chord progression part 1
33:11 Setting up the first pattern in the song itself
36:15 Programming in the melody into track 8
41:45 Hihat fill trick
43:30 (off topic) how I made my favorite bass sample
45:07 Programming the bassline into track 5
48:05 Making a lead melody on track 8 (and moving the arp to track 7)

53:15 Coming up with a chord progression part 2
58:52 Changing the bassline for part 2
1:01:50 Changing the arpeggio for part 2
1:07:55 Changing the drums for part 2
1:10:40 Making the bass louder to match the louder drums

1:13:00 Figuring out how to arrange the final track
1:15:54 The finished track and final words
