Hey guys. Thought this could help out some newcomers to the production game. I don't go in-depth with techniques, but I show you all the settings and individual tracks used, as well as let you hear them.

Be sure to watch in 1080p and full screen to see all my settings!

Thanks, appreciate it. It's just a simple melody I played on the Korg Nano Key. Nexus was used for the sound. I'd definitely check out their product. Unbelievable value for what you pay.

Cool video.

But this isn't even close to G funk.
You need samples for G funk...

This is just a west coast beat if you want to call it that.

I see what you're saying, but according to the official definition...

"Music theorist Adam Krims has described G-funk as "a style of generally West Coast rap whose musical tracks tend to deploy live instrumentation, heavy on bass and keyboards, with minimal (sometimes no) sampling and often highly conventional harmonic progressions and harmonies".

Either way, I'm not trying to split hairs. Just trying to help out newbies.

not really a dr. dre type beat but it has westcoast elements. mean that your drums are to fast for a westcoast beat but the synth are on point nice beat tho
 
i dont think nexus is a suitable vst for g funk i think you should of used omnisphere or hypersonic 2 nexus doesnt have the instruments for it except maybe strings
