STBB #693

[super_sen]

​

I recorded something straight from my currently favorite radio station, no planning, not knowing whats about to come up. After going through a collection of samples that didn´t convince me, I thought this could be both interesting and challenging ...it felt like playing "rhythm roulette" in the youtube show.
hope you like it - and if you don´t - don´t blame me, blame the chance

:idea: Rules: :idea:
1. Use something from all 3 samples in some form
2. No Snares on 2 or 4 - come up with some interesting drum pattern that goes beyond the regular.

3. - OPTIONAL RULE: Go for something bedroom'y, lush, smooth if you want to.

I ain't gonna lie, this was kinda tough so I took the easy route.

 

[Godall]

Holy Shit that first sample is crazy I love it

 

[per.du]

The extra challenge this week is your chop game vs the sc copyright algo ha.

whatch out everybody, quite a few superhits in there, don't get your accounts suspended!

 

[smonch.]

loved these samples!

 

[naturelleboombap]

great idea. thanks for the radio mash-up.

 

[addington snare]

I had fun!

Short and simple

Congratz Sen! A rule question, just to be sure,. "No outside samples - outside instruments, fx and bass allowed ". Meaning, nothing allowed outside the given samples, or only samples not allowed. I gues only samples not allowed...?

I assume: no outside melodic samples.. as per usual in this wording.

 

[super_sen]

Outside Melodic Samples: NO
Outside Drums,Instruments: YES
Outside FX: YES

 

[per.du]

used all three samples, carefully though

kind of a hard challenge to make work, specially cause in hip hop that snare carries most of the energy and groove!
Imo some of the entered beats only somehow fit the rules since they seem to just have put in a few extra bars at the start, but "logically" the snare is still is placed at 2 and 4 in the groove..




hope you enjoy this quickie!

sort of agree on naturelleboombap: you can hear it as hitting on 3, but the groove is also easily felt with snare on 2 and 4 in halftime (dope beat though).
disagree on swoop/supa alien: the cross stick hits on upbeats in the halftime groove. if you're drawn into hearing it on 2 and 4, then the whole arrangement and all the drum programming sounds oddly displaced.

this is a challenge, i tried to start something over the weekend but couldn't catch a good idea. maybe i'll give it another chance today

 

[YoungMexorean]

Here's my submission! I had loads of fun using all these cool samples. Hope you all enjoy!

 

[NearTao]

First post over here, been digging the vibe. Everything sourced from the provided free range, locally sourced tracks, some of it doused in FX.

Hopefully I didn't embarrass myself too much

thanks for your feedback guys. i can mark the beat as a "non entry" if it doesn`t stick to the rules.
maybe super_sen wants to clarify that?

 

[samwise ganja]

congrats SS

 

[RiffWraith]

Decided to experiment and see what kind of drums you can program without a snare, just kicks, hats and claps. Played the synth horns, everything else was sampled from the radio tracks and filtered into oblivion. Fun, but tough set of samples and rules to work with. Great challenge this week.

 

[super_sen]

OK so first of all, sorry for apparently making this one extra hard
To @naturelleboombap - yes I also hear the snare on the 3 - and yes, @per.du also has a point that this ist "just" half-time. But it is a workaround that is fine to me.
Here´s why:
I feel like discarding this beat would make the whole round pretty much impossible and no fun as it would also kill the "snare allowed on the 3".
So I ask you all to just look into your DAW, no matter what BPM you use - and if you use a snare on the 2 or 4, please move it slighty ;-)
Just find yourself a workaround with other percussive elements or - as naturelleboombap did - going for a beat in the lower BPM section where a slow two can be considered a 3.

I hope this clarified it good enough. Have fun! I´ll try to finish my own piece soon in this pretty busy week. Take care.

Was certainly a challenging and fun one. Really cool idea
