Making of 'Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler ' in Ableton by Robert Sharipov

In this video I will show you how I recreated the legendary track "Freestyler" by Bomfunk MC's. What is shown here is not an exact explanation,
but only one of the ways. If you have more accurate information about this track, you can share it here.

Outstanding. Let's thank the YouTube Algorithm Gods for bringing this masterpiece to us.

[FurkanTopal]

When you remade and listen to this, you must be very proud of yourself that you could actually succeeded to imitate a legendary song. You realized that you are capable to do this. And you did this. A song which was playing when you were just a kid and you didn't know anything about how it's made but now you made it! Congrats.

Youtube algorithm brought me here.
Such a GOAT remake.

Why am I suddenly watching this in the middle of the night for no reason? I dont know, but great job keep it up! :)

[joshuagrahambrown]

Holy shit, this is *absurdly* close to the original. Very impressive!

[_thomaswarburton]

unbelievable re-creation of a track that was and still is way ahead of it's time. I've always been in awe of the production on this track. well done sir!

[ardonjr]

my respect goes through the roof on this one. Freestyler has been my most favorite track since I was 10 years old. No seeing this song being recreated is insane!

С нуля на Ableton собрать композицию с точностью 100% до оригинала. Это мастерская работа! Браво!
Build a composition from scratch on Ableton with 100% accuracy to the original. This is a masterful job! Bravo Robert Sharipov!

[PlamenHadzhiev-ojlq]

That arp is so absolutely mesmerizing it gives me a sense of nostalgia for a place I have never been to

[schintus]

The creativity Bomfunk producers had creating this!

[crylove]

Making art out of art, sampling from other great songs and making a newer great song, then recreating it like that. Man, what a time to be alive, we live in a greatest times ever, wars always existed, but stuff like we have here never in history of humankind. Thank you guys for gathering here for 15 minutes, forget for a minute all your problems and witness the great reality we live in.

[AlexTuduran]

Legend has it that Boomfunk MC's watched this video in order to make "Freestyler".













Hats off. I was always fascinated by that particular pluck reverb and you absolutely nailed that and all the rest.

Мужик, это безумно круто! Подпевал, когда слушал конечный результат. Соответствие на 95%! Спасибо, что вернул в детство! Успехов!

[JayRioLasRocas]

Recreating this masterpiece is a masterpiece itself

[motionwindart]

Bro...this is like watching someone paint the Mona Lisa, WTF, so wild. Man I love music production. Man's sample editing skills are wild. And this was 2 years ago too. Imagine making this insanity and nobody notices, 2 years down the line shit blows up.

[TimWrightDJ]

This video reminded me of the Jim Pavloff recreation of Smack My Bitch Up. Whilst, and I hope you don't mind me saying this, it's not a perfect sonic recreation of the original (as Jim's was), it's an excellently detailed insight into what we can achieve in Ableton Live and a great showcase of how valuable it is to learn by recreating our favourite songs. The production is amazing, well done. You should be very proud of this, especially the recreations of the stabs, the arp and the sampled parts. 10/10

[kurshot]

Just brilliant, so close to original one, you used the right simples with the perfect additions and editions.. Much respect, stay with the music, because you are so talented..

[djicebreaker]

When I listen to arp at the beginning, it reminded me of competition I entered I break dancing to it years ago, I came 2 nd, wow I can’t believe how complex the track is & has that 80s feel, still it a time less, well done for sharing your knowledge with us and taking the time to re create this masterpiece ❤

[tvanced]

With stuff like this, arrangement is one thing, but the sounddesign is absolutely key to a convincing cover. The fact that you recreated some of the most iconic sounds in this track (i would say even in music history) to a level of perfection that it's indistinguishable from the original is very impressive. I can only hear the difference in minor level balances, and maybe the bassline, but it's so fucking close.

[Muscleduck]

That's really impressive. And after 20+ years still an awesome song.
