You absolutely nailed it, those bass lines are so bouncy! Great deconstruction series!

[rodnisunn]

I discovered The swing trick in FL because of this video you made and everything just changed for me. I can now make a Kaytranada beat exactly like him because of you. God bless you brother, thank you for this video.

Amazing video! Thank You for sharing! Kay is the GOAT!

[LALALAI]

Thanks so much for featuring our service 💛 much appreciated!

What turned Kay away from the Akai, was he bought an aftermarket MPC 500. He's come around on hardware samplers, as he is a big Maschine user now. Great tutorial!

[timleclerc]

You did such a good job explaining this man. Huge props to you

[frankiefeliciano]

Sounds really dope my brother. Made it look way easier than I think it really is.

[prodbyTY]

I like how you cooked up on the mpc definitely jamming

[ricotoochill]

You not gonna Release this Jawn? It’s Fire!

[jrallday]

I need a producer like you to follow who uses Serato Studio

[leejohnson]

Cool stuff, how about music like wipe the needle, Distant People, doug gomez

[mystertom]

Where did you find them chord progressions on the mpc?

[newfoundikaika]

Tell me you saw the Kaytranada x Amine video where he’s playing on the MPC live 2 (oops that was actually a Maschine)

Btw loved the beat on the MPC. Is there a way to sidechain the synth to the kick to create that Kaytranada pump?

[FRSCO]

5:05 sounds like the first hit of MODERN JAM by Travis Scott haha

[byrdman]

So what does Kaytranada use to make music?

[TheCratesMotel]

Thanks for the video dude. To be honest, I don’t get the hype about Kaytranada at all. From interviews, I’m not sure even he gets the hype. His beats are nothing new. People like Kenny Dope, Todd Terry, Karizma, Kerri Chandler etc were doing it in the 90s (switching out 909s for real sounds sampled from breaks and working the swing). Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a great producer and I like a lot of his work, but I don’t get the hype, if you know what I mean. Thanks again for the video.

Kaytranada doesn't really move the needle for me honestly...knxwledge on the other hand absolutely. That man is the closet person to jdilla out there
