Have you ever wondered what artists like PinkPantheress, Playboi Carti, and the Devil May Cry soundtrack have in common? The answer might surprise you – they all draw inspiration from the energetic and fast-paced world of jungle and drum and bass music. If you're a budding music producer looking to dip your toes into this exciting genre, look no further than Isaac Duarte's tutorial video on creating your first jungle track.

In the video, Duarte, a seasoned hip hop producer, takes you through the process of making a jungle/drum and bass track from scratch. He starts by pitching and processing a vocal sample to set the mood for the track. Next, he lays down a smooth chord progression using Lounge Lizard and V Collection plugins, adding depth and texture to the sound.

To create the signature jungle bassline, Duarte reaches for a dedicated preset in Serum, a powerful synthesiser plugin. He then focuses on the heart of any jungle track – the drum breaks. Using samples from Splice Sounds, he arranges and adds effects to the breaks, tying the entire track together.

Throughout the tutorial, Duarte shares valuable tips and insights that he's learned from his first foray into dance music production. His goal is to provide viewers with a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to create their own unique jungle tracks.

Stepping out of your comfort zone and experimenting with new genres and production techniques is crucial for growing as a music producer. By exploring unfamiliar styles and methods, you can expand your skill set and discover new creative possibilities. Duarte's jungle music tutorial is just one example of how you can challenge yourself to try something new.
