yep, all 404. I didnt even use a multitrack recorder or anything. mastered using the 404's effects and then taken straight off the cf card.

Recently ive discovered alot of tricks with the 404, which i hope to master soon enough...

yo THis is SICK!!beat is crazy nice use of efx!like the stutter drums as well!also would like to know what new tricks u figured out!

J.D. quality as usual you said you got this straight from the cf card does this mean that this is not a pattern but rather a sample thats been built up with resampling ?

thanks. and yeah, all resampling.

Although, i just realized i uploaded the wrong file as that was an overly compressed resample that wasnt intended for use. so try picture the track as something a little easier on the ears.

So what are those new tricks you discovered? Could you enlighten me?

Their probably really obvious, but just things like playing with the polyphony when resampling.

Say you chop up a loop and you want the individual samples to cut out the previous sample when being played. You can resample yourself playing all the individual samples and make a new sample in which you could loop up in the sequencer, or just keep resampling.

Since the 404 only allows you to play 2 samples at a time when resampling, you must make a new silent sample and then play that at the same time when ever you play those individual loop cuts so it cuts out the previous sample.

and now you have a new sample of a chopped up loop.

hope that made sense...

yo, could you post a link to ur page insdead of directly to the song. I have pop up blocker, it wont let me hear it.

that beat is dope man, props

The underlying sample is nice...the drums need work IMHO.

^no worries, im still trying to learn how to make my drums bang without them being programmed.

and juxt, my soundclick is www.soundclick.com/jaydaniels , although i think it still works with pop ups..

very strange sound, but i like it.

Yeah, I understand. well, if you listen to my stuff... most of it is still quantized... making loose, but good drums is hard. Try quantizing certain parts...and playing others without quantizing. Sometimes I quantize only the snare... and leave the hats and BDs loose.

yeah thats usually the way i do it. But with this track, i didnt use the sequencer and just kept resampling over and over. so quantize wasnt really an option..

I got ya.

Nice work keepin it short and to the point, I like that. This track was fairly dope, wasn't really feeling that "l l l l l llllll" thing after awhile... I'd limit it to the intro
