The Weeknd producer DannyBoyStyles Builds a Soulful RnB Banger With MASCHINE+ | Native Instruments

Watch as 2x Grammy-winning producer DannyBoyStyles (Belly, The Weeknd, NAV, Beyonce) builds a soulful RnB banger from scratch with MASCHINE+ at Light Sonic Division Studios in Los Angeles.

DannyBoyStyles starts by sampling live keys directly into MASCHINE+ and chopping the audio into chord samples. Then he adjusts the sample lengths and fade outs to establish a firm sonic foundation before transitioning to drums.

After programming the main beat, DannyBoyStyles lays down a second drum pattern and samples live keys to create a top line lead. Then, with all the essential elements in place, he edits and mixes directly in MASCHINE+, adding a top line with MASSIVE and the KOMPLETE KONTROL S49 before finalizing the arrangement with various effects.
