yo blavatski , do you thnk you can record a shit load of drums to vcr and then bounce it to a mp3, dont need to chop them, i wouldnt mind making a kit out of VCR samples, but dont have a vcr.

i've got a newly-restored tascam 424, lemme know if you want your drums put through that. Also, I got an Sk-5...

yes yes and yes! please ! , any drums would work, but teh phat wonz are mostly enjoyable to flip thru, also record that back to digital at 48000 khz. for propper handling

this i guess,

could you also record it with the pitch up and then set it to the middle for playback and add some dope eq. this shits gonna be off the chain, if it is better to record the eq into the tape do that i guess.

alright, I need to get a stash of new tapes. I'll try to up stuff tomorrow.

but I can tell you, sounds good so far. I'm bussing stuff to 2 tracks so I can have more flex with EQing them. e.g. track 1 is dedicated to getting good low-end and track 2 is for the mids and hi's.

word up, im shure it will be better than my 1989 dolby philips recorder tape packs maybe we should add the akai xr 20 pack to the tascam tape. or use a diferent machine for that one. there is 2 decent xr 20 packs that have surfaced, available somewhere,

hey filthy - yeah no problem, I will try to do some VCR drum hits for the forum.
Do you have a site to upload to? otherwise i'll post on box.net

Ok, some of this sounds alright, other parts didn't...feel free to toss what you dont want. Bunch of random one hits (incl. some filthy samples, goldbaby freebies, drum machines), not chopped.

here they be all, these drums were bounced to vcr by blavastky, and then shipped dynamic fed ex to my door 2 day delivery, I then chopped all of them with my eyes closed and hands tied behind my back.
