YO
Rules and infoe for battle 160:

Make a track with an acapella. I've provided some acapellas but you probably want to remix your own favorite dope track. Also don't restrict yourself to a rap acapella...im thinking bout doing some rnb but there are acapellas for everything. Get creative, props to anyone who makes a song that interprets this to the beyondish




Sweet Home is an awesome nes game i've been playing lately, "Fresco Theme" is a prominent song in the game that you MUST sample

The other recording you MUST sample is "Praise Song" from the Pygmies of the Zimbabwe rainforest

I've provided some percussion I recorded tonight (#'s 1-13). Use this and/or outside percussion samples. Outside percussion samples only allowed if you record the samples yourself with a mic. (microphone, sp mic, phone mic, etc)

Outside bass allowed

Use whatever equipment you need to use to pitch or alter the speed of your acapella. multitracking on other hardware, software is allowed

ultimately, have fun...and if you feel like doing it, do it

entries accepted until wednesday (7/16) night
Gunshot samples encouraged

I'll snailmail a drawing to the wiener

rap/singing is allowed?
only one SP or SPs is/are allowed?

I imagine a rap/ singing is considered an acappella.

And you can only use one SP.

Everyone else can use whatever

ok
let this battle begUin
peace
ps
there is however difference from recorded accappella form other than ourselves, that was the funky question (not so funky, but...)

Is anyone else having trouble with the downloaded folder? My computer doesn't read .rar files. Could someone reup in wav. format or something similar?

new link up

one sp!

Sick, thanks IIIII, digging the samples and rules. The only question I got is do we need to use a mic to get sounds for our kick and snare?

yup, i do it all the time

i didn't had any problems...

Wassup I!)
Cool rules... and there is a prize in here!

The vocals must be straight or can be chopped?
The software is allowed only for multitracking or we can use it to stretch/pitch samples?

i have to go rapidly this time, very busy week, sorry

Congrats on the last few wins guys. Hopefullly I'll have time to give this one a go. I picked up a second job so haven't had shit for free time lately but now that I'm settling into it and adjusting my day job schedule I might have a minute.

good luck with this job!

Remixed Nas over here.

Full disclosure: I didn't use an SP, did that with the Korg ESX (single sampler style) 'cause I haven't been on it much of late. Microwaved this one so I don't know if it sucks or not.
