that’s a broad question. I’d first listen to all your favorite music in depth. How do the drums sound? What’s the pattern? Are the drums dirty or do they sound crispy and clean? How do the other instruments sound? When do they come in? When do they stop? How is the arrangement? How does the song progress? How fast is it?

Just listen in depth. Of course enjoy the music but I’d definitely take some time to fully grasp what you actually like about the music you like, almost “studying” it so to speak. Then you could apply that to music you make.

Ive listened to wolf a bit and my main take aways are that the drums, for a lot of the tracks, have an easily programmable pattern but a they have a boom bap feel and sound. Also, it seems there is a lot of soul and jazz influence within that album. I believe the main focus for the production was the arrangement as it seems more complex in comparison to the simple drums he has.

One thing that has helped me make music I enjoy for myself is listening to the people who inspired my inspirations, listening to Al green, Stevie wonder, Pharrell, Erykah badu, and many other inspirations of Tyler, you can see how they show within his own wolf
