How to make groovy funky music (samples + effects + tips)

my favorite ganre

nice one :)

Great job Vanille. I like the "rationing" part of the video. Like you, I have been asked to replace original music that the director couldn't afford to license. You were smart about it and you focused on "The Feel" of the song rather than just elements of like orchestration, which I have made the mistake of doing. Great job with the vocals. I like how you brought creativity to the samples by chopping them up into new rhythms. I know it can be tough to do projects like this when as a composers, we are used to creating from the ground up. But a thing I needed to remember when doing projects like this, the film maker(s) don't want something that's completely original, they want something that is as close to the track they used before, without having to pay for the license. Again, great job Vanille. That is exciting you are expanding new ways for you to compose. You are blurring the lines between Music Supervisor and Composer by curating samples and composing on top of them. And it was smart of you to place the reference in your Logic projects so you could constantly compare and contrast. Brava.

So nice to see you back Vanille!

Great fun, and a fearless approach as always, lol...
Did they like it, in the end?

As a fellow comp student (when I was in college) I totally agree that finding and starting to use samples feels like such a weird cheat code.
Love your videos, great work!

let's goooooo

You have such a good vibe. Respect.

I bloody love you – yet another fabuloso vid, keep 'em coming!

The most pretty and enchanted women.

I know that song haha, good job with your own take on it!

love this!. i always love watching your vids

Pretty cool. I think for the bass part in the final choruses of "I'll get you down", if you were to do a slide on the neck of the bass downward (of course), that would be kind of neat and really make it feel like a theme... but just in the last chorus.
If they give you the budget, it would be nice to replace the lead vocal with a session vocalist with some pepper in her voice. Keep your background vocals in the mix, though. But have the session vocalist do a couple of passes as well. The blend would sound pretty authentic.
Love your willingness to approach things that are new.

Lovely process and creative juice and joy!

Hi, nice stuff!
Are your acoustic panels the affordable ones from Amazon ?
Best from France.😘

Long time no Vanille!! I enjoyed the funk out of this one 😎

Funkier than your reference track! Nice!

This was super fun, nice to see you trying every style! Assemblage is such a fun art form. Do you know the track "frontier psychiatrist" by The Avalanches? They spliced something like 37 different sources to make it. I remember my sisters and I laughing until our bellies hurt when we first heard it. Instant classic.

That' style you play that sound like reggae was Toots & the Maytals Jamaica Ska Reggae sound vibe from wayBack the 70''s& 80''s -+90''s☺💥✌💯😇Great Content Blesz2&Respekd

Toots & The Maytals - Fever, an album cut from their 1974 album ’In The Dark’. It is reggae, they were just experimenting with adding funky sounds. Had the honour of opening the show for Toots & The Maytals a few times actually.
Your track is great btw !

Fun walk through. I like the whole bit and especially the real bass added. You have some tasty elements coming in there. Using loops is pragmatic. I like to add more kick and snare to align with the loop to enable emphasis and sometimes pulling out the drum loop to reveal the added drum elements.

Awesome work. The Goodhertz "Tupe" plugin is also amazing - have you tried it?

this is awesome!!

Noice!

dude the vocals are dope
