This beat is an adaptation of the song All me by Drake featuring 2 Chainz and Big Sean which was produced by Noah ‘40’ Shebib, the chords used in the beat are the almost the exact same chords used in the song. It took 6 hours going through the many sounds on Pro Tools till I found the sounds which I liked.

The Drums, Vox and percussions were constructed by Patrick Love Logic on his laptop, once I had finished the melody of the beat I bounced it and sent it to patrick which then he worked on the drums all night. 4 different kicks were used and each a bar long which followed each other one after the other. After creating the drums, I went to work organising and mixing.

The melody and bass was split into three when arranging it, The intro and bridge, the hook/chorus and the verses. Then the tracks were slit once again as with Xpand!2 you can have multiple sounds playing off one track however I found mixing it to be a bit bothersome and this way makes changing 1 sound would be a lot easier. When I mixed the drums I used SPL Transient Designer, Renaissance Bass and Lo-Fi Which I know 40 uses in his work. I used Lo-Fi to cut the sample rate from the kicks and one of the melody tracks, 40 cuts the sample rate on his drums to get that underwater affect that most people think its a LPF. Using the SPL to increase the attack and the RBass to intensify the bass of the drums

All the Tracks tracks were being run through a Aux with many plugins The total amount of tracks used to make this beat is 18 not including the master fader.

 Mixing the beat took almost 3 hours as there was always a problem when I bounced the beat off of pro tools. I had to remix the drums because they weren’t being played and the bass didn’t exist so i fattened the bass and with a final bounce it was finished.
