I didn't vote for anyone. Even if there were parts of the "tunes" I liked, guys, there's just no need to purposefully make things sound so lo-fi. Even if you're just using a 202 on its own it doesn't need to sound like that. I don't get it. It's just a racket. I never knew what ear fatigue was until after I'd sat down to go through all the entries. And, fyi, you ain't offending the ghost of Dilla if you occasionally have drums that are in time.
Didn't listen to Lou's or Maxwell's entries coz they were hosted on sites that were cookie central.
I guess I liked Sleeps's stuff the best... but a) he broke the 4:04 rule and b) I don't want to risk the next round taking 2 and a half months or for there to be 2 and a half months' worth of samples to go through, so I didn't vote at all.
Obvs I'm taking the complete piss with my entry so I preemptively award myself "nul points".
DING!!!
Not all the samples. Don't forget the completely random "off-kilter" drums!!!_¥_ wrote:Your joke entry is literally you cycling through all the samples and making it as "lo-fi" as possible. Or wait... is that the joke!? So smart.

Aye, well, it was supposed to be a joke but even I was surprised (or was I???) how much alike it was to the usual entry we get these days. Only took an hour too. Piece of piss this "microwave" lark, init? Sample loop; annihilate with lo-fi; overlay random drums... job's a good'un!

You 'avin a laff, m8?
Your joke entry is literally you cycling through all the samples and making it as "lo-fi" as possible. Or wait... is that the joke!? So smart. Oh, wait, so you are having a laugh? But you sound so serious. Especially the part where you literally shit on all the "tunes" - or was that a joke as well?
You enjoy sucking all the life that's left out of these battles don't you?
Also - complaining about the time frames is irrelevant when you literally have the power in your hands to create your own threads/battles/challenges in this forum at any time you want. There have been times in this forum's history where there have been three or four battles going on at the same time! (ZOMG!)
Oh wait... you did start one in December that you haven't done anything with. Oh..
There are also a plethora of other sample challenges/beat battles that are going on simultaneously in other beatmaking communities across the internet - but I guess you enjoy spending more time on Reddit shitting on other beatmakers than you do competing in battles or something? Who knows.
Your response tickles me to no end.
I don't even understand anything any more.
Lighten the fuck up and have some fun, or put a sock in it.
++++1,000Why do you hate us?
I’m sure most enter these battles purely out of love and support of the community and craft.
Time and bandwidth are limited, bro.
If these battles are causing you stress, it’s prob a good idea to step away for a bit.
