interesting challenge! heres the final idea




this is what i originally made, then turned down the bpm and changed the kick pattern to get the above idea



man that is some stellar work in such a short amount of time, giving me early FlyLo LA vibes! props for recording the process too:

siickkk !

yea i feel dumb for getting so confused at first its really not a big deal to use both sites and sample from them. i'll prob mess around more with that infinite drummachine thing
 
Yo

What's good people?
Chilled Monday afternoon cook up.

I used the sample pack sound ARABIC HARP 2 sample
pitched it up +24
chopped it up.

Low end from the original non pitched sample.
Added drums with no Quantization, keeping as much human element to it.
EQ's and compressors on the drums and sample tracks.
Vinyl FX added from my SP 404 SX
Scratches added using my SC 500
88 BPM



:salute: 🖖 ☮️
Peace Mox

Thank you. :D

I made the beat in logic 8, used my akai mpd32 controller for the beat, and sample chops.

I have a SP 404 SX hooked up to the sound card so I can record the audio in from that.
I then have my SC 500 going through the line in on the SP. so that goes straight in to Logic too.

The SC 500 is a lot of fun, you can easily add your own tracks to the SD card for either playback or scratching.
you can have the scratch tracks playing or stopped and you can still make noise.
If you have a portable speaker with a jack on it you can just plug that in to the SC 500

No on off button for it. I use a usb power pack to run it. Just plug it in to turn it on/off.

Solid build, just don't go throwing it about.
hmmm, hard to say if it's worth the price at 250 euros.
But if you want something that takes up less space then a turntable and a mixer defo worth it.

It does say on the website there's restock coming Feb/March...?


They have a option to sign up for news about new stuff....

Yeah similarly I have the SPmkii, started off using it standalone but I just use it for the FX / compressor nowaydays. Putting samples through it into ableton add a nice sheen for me

Yeah its definitely cheaper than a Technics, Decent Mixer, Serato & the box / dongle that goes with it....all that for the sole purpose of scratching is a lot....Good to know its coming back in stock
 
Chill week. EDIT!!!! Used provided stuff, forgot that I also made a melody with the site and used a small part of it to help with the drops. Noticed this when I went to make a vid on what I did. added my tags, guitar and bass


 
Thanks for the challenge, I got the Website to work, I recorded what you hear in the beginning from the website. Chopped it up Used mostly the drums provided as percussion. Added a kick, snare, hi hats and bass.

probably the only thing breaking the rules is the excessive vocal cuts ..

when i went to screen record the apotome that wouldn't work for some reason..

i just went with my creative inspiration after that.. heard Jeru on the melody and bass i made with the sample pack..


 
Yo hope everyone is well. Interesting week!

Used one of samples from the given folder. Chopped and pitched down -13 semi tones. Added drums from my personal sample library, tracked a simple bass line and recorded a short synth lead. Our boy JoaGymshoe was happy to drop a nice verse over the beat. Hope all enjoy

 
Hey All,
I could not get that thing to work. It looks very cool though.I used the sample pack and my own drums for the tracks. Are the lyrics generated by AI? You be the judge but it is my voice except for the middle section where it was an AI singing.I see now level AI as software with a super intuitive interface. 10 years from now who knows what it will become and if we will even be able to understand it. I am kind of more into the journey of creation than the finished product for consumption. If AI helps that journey so be it. Hope all are well.


Peace, Hugh
 
Some serious entries in the last day or two!

Sorry to the guys that couldnt get Apotome working, hopefully you got a bit out of the samples provided anyways.




Recorded a couple of samples in the same key at 200bpm then pitched them down to 130. used a tuning called Holy Mountain which is like standard but a little bit detuned, has a nice flaavour...wanted to do some hip hop but ended up with this instead. Drums are all from Google Infinite Drum Machine or whats within Apotome
