How is everyone? This place has been around for a long time! Good to still see everyone pop in this old spot once in a while.

We're good....but have you heard about the #stonesthrow404unquantizednooutsidesamplelsbutnotreallydontdothatyoucanactuallydowhatyouwantwhateverreallywedontactuallycare battles?

I was away for years. Lots of changes and challenges. Dusted off the 505 recently it is only SP I have now. Playing a lot of guitar w looper lately. Glad this forum has lasted thx for the shout.

still about, very busy academically and been getting back into jazz guitar, but still snooping about here and making beats when i can

I love Jazz/fusion/etc. Been playing along to All Blues and So What lately. Time Remembered off Bill Evans- Loose Blues album with Jim Hall is a masterpiece. Bill Evans Moonbeams album one of my favs many others. Maybe we could collborate on a jazz/beats/guitar/SP track! Also check SP user Gem Atrium "Digs From Yesterday" he blends nice jazz/fusion lines with SAm rhythms so good. Peace!

I'm back. Just bought a Sonicware Lofi6 Sampler. Need to sit down with it and learn it though.

Looks interesting esp that fx are applied to track not sample. Hmm.

Oh wow their SmplTrek looks very interesting...

Yeah, thinking of saving up for that. But might get the SP404 mk2 first. Just gotta hunker down with the LF6.

505 is dope. The drums when I hear a beat made with one sound so good. I've always wanted to mess with one.

How do you like it? I looked it up and its frikken cool.

user check in? more like user check yourself i'm the only real sp-forums user here, yall all wack, im the realest, get rekt

YEAH what zin said.

There can be no other user

fck discord
On that note - discord is going to get ads soon and sucks in general, pretty much killed most msg boards.

There is so much info and troubleshooting, tips, etc. locked into shitty app. You can't find what you are looking for unless you JOIN JOIN JOIN

I hope forums makes a comeback. nice to see some posts here. its a sacred ground for sp knowledge and a time capsule accessible to anyone/everyone.

Yeah all the sonicware stuff seems cool, I dismissed as first as a gimmick but after seeing some people rocking it I understood that it's its own aesthetic like the SPs. This is the video that changed my mind, just a couple of beats on the 12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5RFK5d ... c2VsZGE%3D

ah i see some company tryna cash in on all the zoomer hipster kids that can't afford teenage engineering, overpriced trash, gotta wonder what kind of gullible marks will actually shell out $300 for this crap

I don't know man, all the beats on that video are better than your soundcloud stuff, maybe you need new gear to improve your game or at least a new approach. Also the guy on the video is a professional sample creator and beatmaker with a lot of gear. He has TE Gear and more expensive stuff. Maybe it's a good sign if the guy who can afford gear, make sample libraries and is great at making beats is using it.
