DJ Rock Well Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 OK, I'm going to slightly optomistically extend the deadline to the close of play, next Monday (the 17th) in the hope that this might make it more than a two way affair.

DJ Rock Well Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Just a simple chopped and processed samples style hip hop beat. Doesn't go any where particularly, but parts could easily be arranged around a rapper or something. All sounds from the source LP except a drum break I got off another record. https://soundcloud.com/dj-rock-well/space-piano-dv-beat-battle-flip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danswift Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Rock - thats really nice mate i like what you've done there with the midnight in a perfect world type of vibe going on.. very cool Pete- your style of doing things is always unique and this tune is a great example of that I dont know why but for some reason i always imagine that youre wearing a lab coat while your recording when i listen to your tracks..dope stuff yet again dude Top work lads! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I did a quick video going through what I chose to use and what I did to it etc. but managed to have the audio set wrong so it was totally silent! FFS - will redo it as soon as I get a chance toReally enjoyed that, Matt - did exactly what it needed, IMO. Lovely head nodding tacticsDan - you're not a million miles off, mate - I've always got a load of audio test tubes bubbling away and it's probably testament to always working on headphones that I liked to put a shitload of textures in there to pack out the sound whilst keeping it pretty sparse at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks fellas! Dan - I wouldn't say I quite reached 'Midnight...' levels, but this beat did start (and almost stop) with a single piano loop and a chopped drum break I felt fitted the sample. For a minute I did wonder how on earth I could make a whole beat with just a piano sample and a drum sample, but then I remembered someone much better than me arguably made their greatest beat from just those elements. I even looked for an appropriate vocal sample, but failed in the time to find something that worked. The limited source material actually forced me into corner and I had to come up with ways of making it more than just a loop... The only samples I used on this beat were 2 bars of a Lou Donaldson drum break, a short shaker sample from the source LP and the 4 bar piano loop as it plays in the intro 4 bars of the beat - I just kept in chopping, re-pitching and filtering it to give it some variation/progression and make the bass line, etc. Pete - thanks, if in doubt retreat to what you know! After all these years, I still can't play two notes on any instrument but I'm semi confident at making a drum to fit a sample. Likewise, I think you've nailed this one. Sounds heavy! Please do make tutorial video if possible, I'd love to learn more about your processing techniques... Actually, you were the main inspiration for not thinking it's just a loop going nowhere and giving up - I'm nowhere near your level, but I've learnt a few new things about filtering and processing on this one.
