In his performance video, Brian busts out a few different real-time beat making and finger drumming techniques within a very short space of time – so quickly, in fact, that it’s easy to miss the details. Fortunately, in the explanation video below, he takes the time to walk you through the steps and settings that let him create such a fleshed out beat track on the fly.Mon, 20 Mar 2017 08:35:43 +0000https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/inside-the-track-bmaul/ArtistsDownloadsTutorialsVideoshttps://www.ableton.com/en/blog/inside-a-track-tec-beatz/Having worked with Killer Mike, No I.D., Elijah Blake, Tamar Braxton, CyHi The Prynce, Nelly and Attitude among many others, Tec Beatz is an LA-based producer very much on the ascent.
