How do you make Zimdancehall Music?

[Borrowdale Barron]

What's the technique of producing Zimdancehall music? Are there any special tricks that producers like Oskid, DJ Tamuka, Levels and PTK use?

The same process of making a Dancehall riddim instrumental applies to Zimdancehall music production. There isn't any significant difference except that Zimdancehall lyrics are often written in a context that Zim folks can relate to.

Is Cubase a better DAW for producing Zimdancehall beats than FL Studio?

Is Cubase a better DAW for producing Zimdancehall beats than FL Studio?

It all comes down to the person who is utilizing the DAW in question (i.e., whether it's Steinberg's Cubase or Image-Line's FL Studio in this case). There are all useful tools, but ultimately it's the producer who gets to be creative with these tools, and not the "Digital Audio Workstation" software programs themselves. Well, at least not yet but maybe in the future, some of these DAWS will have some form of artificial intelligence to produce music.
