40's Beats (Drake's producer)

[The Intergalactic]

What does he use to get the ambient sound in his beats, like Lust For Life, Houstatlantavegas, Successful, and A Night Off?

 

[sEvEN Productions]

Not Samples = You Are Probably ****ed

 

[DustyBreaks]

Actually he uses samples alot.

 

[MUSIKFIEND]

Pads. The drums also play a big part as their usually pitched down.

 

[iProduceMusic]

He has a nice sound very original.

[ammobeats]

I had the experience to be 40's protege for a good amount of time. He does sample as well as play keys over stuff a lot. I remember one time he sampled Juicy by Big and NOBODY could tell he sampled it. Talented cat.

"I spend a lot of time manipulating my sounds. A lot of the time people think I’m using a Pad and I’m really using a totally distorted and EQ’d, reverbed, tricked out delayed piano"- 40

google it. lol.

wow i could do all that to my midi keyrig piano with fruityloops...distortion, eq, reverb, + more plugins and find a good piano vsti and i could make the same sounds as 40

E40? I thought people were talking about Noah 40 Shebib.

40's sound is so unique though, I hope it stays that way.
