SP-FORUMS

Voted for drmnaga78, i liked the beat, it sounded good, had some good dynamics and got my head bobbing. Close 2nd goes to ellaguru, for another head bobbin beat.

Alright, here we go:

recorded some random vocal sounds using an olympus recorder, then sampled to a sp-505 and resampled over and over. used fx such as delay, vocal transformer, filter, pitch, reverb, slicer, etc. lol. fun challenge, looking forward to hearing everyones tracks. peace.

I still got a beat to upload if you guys dont mind holding on a bit longer if thats alright?

It's a great machine, i've been using one for years. definetely a good idea to get the pad upgrade from mpcstuff.com. the sequencer is great, being able to sample while still playing a sequence in the background is really handy. if you're not used to the saving process on mpc's it can be a little ...

"DJ Mellow- Nice atmosphere and the beat kicked in just right. Eerie atmosphere. MAAAN i Loved that bassy/synth sound at 1:20 and again right at the end. was that from the samples or a synth?"

thanks asha, all sounds are from the samples provided, specifically the monotron one for the synth stuff ...

been a while since i've done a battle, glad to see so many fresh artists. it's a tough one with this many entrants, but i'll point out some of my favorites:

tiredoriots- cool rapping, i dug it
muma- nice chill vibe
jooph- solid beat and good drum-work
sleepy eyes- good resampling, nice drums, and ...

here's mine: https://soundcloud.com/djmellow-1/one

gear used: sp-505, ADC soundshaper, roland mixer, and fostex MR-8.

diggin' it man, good drum n' bass work on the drifter album. thanks for sharing

+ anything from the ninja tune label, always funky, always progressive.

looney tunes had amazing orchestral soundscapes, we could call it "daffy beats" lol.

the 505 is an awesome machine, i've been using mine for years, i don't think it gets any easier for all day resampling and quick beat making. it's clipboard copy function is crazy easy and the microscope edit function helps me fine tune shit. honestly not sure why you can find them so cheap, but ...

awesome project, thanks to unfolding machines for spearheading the thing, and awesome job on the cover art. i look forward to listening to everybodys tracks.

I'm sure a lot of you cats have already checked out this station, but i just wanted to give it a little shout out since it kicks so much arse. check out www.wefunkradio.com

fans of wes anderson should definetely check out jim jarmusch via "dead man" and "coffee and cigarettes".

my vote goes to gis_sweden, his track was well chopped, sounded clean and took you on a journey. i also liked moustache ninja's, even though it wasn't done on an sp, and chopperman's beat. peace.
