SPBB 164 - THE OLD (overused) CLASSICS

Post by MarcoGrouch »

Thanks for the votes last battle, glad people were feeling the track [although I'm afraid you are going to regret making me the leader of the next battle again]
So the last time I had to host the SPBB I went through some old CDs but overall I was disappointed with the sample selection [and it seemed most of you were as well] so instead of putting everyone through that again I'm going to take this in a different direction. The name of the game is editing. I'm going to provide some really over-abused samples. The challenge lies in making them COMPLETELY UNRECOGNIZABLE. I want you to process these things beyond reason. There should be no shred of evidence for anyone to even guess where the sample material came from.

for some examples I turned these reverb tails from an old big band record
http://puu.sh/aLjS0/4860a55b1a.mp3
into this whole song (including the drums)
https://sumtapes.bandcamp.com/track/lofi-cult
and also these drums
http://puu.sh/bpymN/8d1c5f8e6a.mp3
just that bit of instrument tail you hear made both kicks and the snare, I think the hi hat was the 's' in 'sometimes' with the COMP on the 303, and the non-drum noises in Lofi Cult are I think just 303 Timestretch

Rules:
1-one SP only, that should be more than enough to mangle beyond recognition
2-the samples must be completely unidentifiable. Do your worst. Don't worry about making a banger, try to make some weird shit. Experiment with FX you never use. Be extra weird.

The Notorious Samples:

Hopefully no one hates me for this :lol:

Cool idea for the battle. I'm not very good at hiding the originals usually but I tried nonetheless lol

hahaha yeah that was the point, things that have been so sampled there becomes a stigma to sample them... but if we sample them and then mangle them beyond recognition we find a way to make an old played out sound brand new again

that was also a pretty fast flip man, jeez.

I have only had my 202 for a couple weeks so I decided to give it a go and enter.

I'm assuming this challenge is to make a track using ONLY the samples provided, i.e. no outside samples/beats etc?

lol - how will we really know where the final noises came from! ha ha...

I am having great fun doing the resampling though, I have to admit. At this point, I'm not sure I can make anything musical out of it.

Uh.. yeh.. I'll be the first to admit this came out weird... the samples churning out an awkward waltz featuring some serious ring modulator-abuse :-P
