SP-FORUMS

anyone grab this when it was offered for free download? I hadnt listened to it in quite a while, but it still sounds fresh. I was wondering what these folks (e.g. Scavone, Bavu Blakes, Pumpkinhead) are doing now - aint much information I can find on the INTERWEBS...

Southern Man - Deaf in the ...

i dig this hard- only thing is - to my ears, you can really tell where the loops are, and how they layer - they are kinda abrupt.. esp the ends - maybe messing with the onset/offset volume envelopes to make it sound more organic.. but yeah my like.

The usual disclaimers that it changes all the time, that picking just 5 is hard etc. So Im just going to genre-hop and pick some of my favorite albums.

Big Star- #1 Record/Radio City
Radiohead - Kid A
Emitt Rhodes- Emitt Rhodes (did it all bouncing to 4 tracks)
David Bowie- Ziggy Stardust
Keith ...

I think ZomB had the best 30-45 seconds- but I felt that lodger had the best complete entry. So, I voted for lodger .... to me, the sample gets flipped across genres but still sounds right.

ok Ill commit to getting something up by sunday...prolly some weak azz shee. just not feeling it.. but hell it will make the poll look better;)

Well, to me, its pretty clear what they meant, as it says

"....so we decided to call them up and get them to select their all-time favorite samples."

Not to mention, its not as if this is the first time anyone has put out a a "greatest" or "best of" list -

Dig it, dismiss it, discuss it.

OK so what do we do with the tie? Lets see if Lonestar and ellaguru can work something out.. an OPEN CHALLENGE COLLABORATION... run with it...

Given the participation lately, take your time.. people might need to recharge...

I voted Lonestar... close with Ellaguru.. in both cases, I like what sounds they were able to pull from (if not technically) noise + effects.

Writing this as I listen through each.... and before I read any other comments ..

Gis Sweden - damn I really like this.. I just wish there was a bit more variety - I could see 8-12 bars of this then 4 in crescendo with lots of brass....my ears kept pulling/expecting to hear rises, crashes and ...

I thought I would go ahead and make the poll- runs for 3 days.

um, so what happened here? no poll?

:lol: Holy Dipstick! At 80dB would make his ears bleed!!!

Standard mixing would be -4dB to 0dB, or to make things easier, let the dB meter hit the red occasionally. If its hitting constantly in the red, then its gonna be a distorted mix. Let it ride in the green or blue area and let the red show ...

How loud should you mix your stuff ?

I am not an expert, Im just repeating what I've heard- but 85db c-weighted (average not peak) using pink noise measured at the mixing point is thrown around a lot based on a film industry standard. Now we aren't talking about headphones!!! . I think this is ...

how long do we have for this?
