How to Make A Song Like Silk Sonic (Funk, Soul, R&B, Pop) | Make Pop Music
This video is a special one because we are diving into the MOST REQUESTED video in our channel history! In this video, we dive into how to make a song like Silk Sonic! We make an upbeat, funk and soul driven record similar to 777, Skate, and Fly As Me! We go over how to program smooth drums in the style of Anderson. Paak, how to lay down funky guitar and bass lines, how to add chord extensions to fill the track out, and how to structure a song like Silk Sonic. We also announce our brand new drum sample library, The Anderson Pack and use it in action!
