Is it that hard to type a brief description?

Let's not start just posting links, READ THE ORIGINAL POST.

Give the viewer a choice about what they want to watch.

Also read the original post if you're not sure what a good beat making video is, cos some of these recent posts are wackola...

There are some pretty shitty videos on here. The Su-preme video's are entertaining, but most beatmakers just haven't got much going for themselves. Where the **** is the entertainment. Don't even have to make a good beat to have an entertaining video. Simple drums over one sample, a bassline, maybe a synth or guitar just to show musicians that they have musical skills too and BAM... a beat :roll:

This was posted in another thread during a discussion about hi-hats.

But this is my idea of a good quality beat-making video so here it is.

Ron 'Amen-Ra' Lawrence deconstructs a beat he produced on the MPC3000 for Jay-Z (7:16).

The track called 'Where I'm from' is created using samples, a Korg Triton and a Roland JV-2080 module.

Another great video from the UK's very own DJ Slademan.

Here he makes it look so simple using an MPC3000LE, Korg Triton and NI Maschine to create a soulful sample-based beat (6:31).

'But Until Then'

Thanks to Shank Carvin for pointing this one out.
