I am the owner of the Frank Wilson 45 Do I Love You that will be going up for auction soon. You can always follow the saga on Facebook - Melodies & Memories. We carry all music genres and have been in business since 1988. We also own The Golden World record clock. Thanks Denise

Will do, i just have ableton live and an akai mpd26 and some krk rockit monitors for now. I thought i would keep my setup simple and get more beats under my belt before going off and buying a ton of gear. Thanks man, at first I was trying to flip the sample so it sounded nothing like the original. I think by over complicating the chops i ended up with a less musical sounding piece and jumpy as dan and steve mentioned. That's an honorable intention but I would be careful about letting that get in your way. I've seen lots of producers get twisted up trying to "flip shit beyond recognition" or ditch sampling all together on the premise that its not as good as choosing your own notes and making your own melodies, patterns, etc. Those guys fall off a lot of times. When you ask them who their favorite producers are its like "Pete Rock, Marly Marl, Rza, etc.", who all did plenty of strait up loop lifting. If what Pete Rock was doing was so "easy" then everybody would have their own TROY. So many people talk about chopping and flipping these days but some of the best tracks were more about combining sound x with sound y and z to make something that sounds like it was always meant to be. Fact is, going crazy on the chops is not better or worse than looping, it's just different. Ditching sampling all together isn't "better" it's just different, and there are disadvantages that go along with the advantages. So, my advice is to not worry too much with impressing the "heads" and focus most on making music. Such solid advice man, i think you perfectly summed up what i learned from this entire thread and feedback! Thanks for the feedback sym! And i finished the track, think i am pretty satisfied with the final result here it is

i just picked up a xbox one for my kids. main reason is the backwards compatibility. they already have a 360 and all the new games they want are on the xbone. I say fuck it, get both. my wife and i like playing ratchet and clank, which is a PS exclusive. But i'm interested in cuphead which is on xb. I stopped buying new consoles and games years ago. used and refurbs are the way to go. right now we have: 3 PS1, PS2, PS3, xb360, xb one, sega genesis flash back, and 2 wii's. im looking into getting one of those rasberry pi's to play retro joints. in about a year or two, i'll pick up a switch.

(Hi everyone!!) Dope entries for this battle, I voted for Dan - always bringing that tight cinematic vibe. Merry X-Mas y'all!
