DJ Rock Well Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Doob - we'll wait! Broma - are you sure you don't want to up it anyway? I did one I disliked once, so I just uploaded to a fresh anonymous Soundcloud account and made MANY excuses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danswift Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Bashed out live on two SP-404's . It's a bit scuzzy sounding, like an old tape you'd find in a drawer, but it's straight,no chaser with strictly no overdubs. Special thanks to King Alloy and his portable musical biscuit tin.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonetic Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Must admit, I'm struggling with this one... I thought it was gonna be easy. A soul CD, must be some obviously cool stuff in there right?! I'm gonna try get on it again tonight if your happy to hang on a little? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A soul CD, must be some obviously cool stuff in there right?!Hehe- That's the problem with The Delfonics, they are a pretty cool band but every track they've ever recorded sounds exactly the same as any of their other songs . I was also struggling with this album myself tbh, so i just sampled one or two notes then chopped, filtered and pitched them in with a vocal sample from a different Soul record .

DJ Rock Well Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Phonetic - no problem! I'm gonna need tonight to - I've finished a beat but just need to sort the mix out a bit. I know what you mean about the samples making you work hard for this one. For me, it's mostly that there's lots of good samples... if it was the early ninties and all sampling meant to most was hip hop drums over a straight loop! I didn't go as far as Dan possibly, but I still chopped out notes, repitched, applied effects, the odd reversed sound, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rock Well Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Usual shizz - I'd like to do more, the mix needs work, with a bit more time... racing driver excuses, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Actually Dan, after your comment got me to unearth Gerald I've given him a second chance and now softened a little to his charms. I might even up his theme to my own account and see if we've got a pop hit on our hands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psychedelic Schizophrenic Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I know what you mean about the samples making you work hard for this one.

I didn't go as far as Dan possibly, but I still chopped out notes, repitched, applied effects, the odd reversed sound, etc. The samples are definitely there, I will probably go back and chop some more up for future beats. Nah wasn't in the mood to chop it to oblivion like Mr Swift, so I took the lazy 90s route on this one mate, NDC and Grid Edit mode with a 2 hour time limit Doob - we'll wait!

Bloody hell Dan, fancy bring this cock back up More cheese then a gory hole Only joking I'm pretty sure I voted for Gerald only because one of his contacts threaten me Get it remix Rocky and get some mumble rap on it and viola #bagsofswag #winner #pizza4life Dope entries by Wax On, Mr Swift and Rocky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phonetic Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Right, this is what I got. My typical 90's style production haha Not too happy with it but there you go...I know my mastering skills leave a lot to be desired https://soundcloud.com/phoneticbeats/dv-beat-battle-2-delfonics Edited September 6, 2017 by Phonetic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
