Mastering the Chords from Tupac's 'Dear Mama'
In this tutorial, I break down the chords used in Tupac's classic track "Dear Mama" and show you how to recreate them. The chords we'll be working with are A# minor, G# minor, and D# minor. I've set the tempo to 168 BPM, which is 84 BPM in half time. After recording the chords, I'll walk you through quantizing them while keeping a natural feel by reducing the quantize strength to 50%. I’ll also make some slight adjustments to note velocity to add a more human touch. Finally, we'll lay down some drums to complete the beat. Let's dive in!
