no problem man. there is no deadline as of yet. Letting everyone have time to find the thread and make a beat.

As for shmedy, post up both. Island and The other one, after you finish workin on them. let everyone in here decide. I don't want to be the only guy with opinions.

I've just listened to the track made by Juxt...
...maan
It's my all-time SP-Forums.com favorite.
I love the fact that it reminds me of some Primo beats.
Simply Aaamazing

word!!!!

submitted garbage!!! let me redeem myself.

waddup fam? really nice bunch of beats submitted so far. I finally found some time to make something this weekend... any feedback is appreciated.

Progress.mp3 - 3.67MB

the variety on this album is gonna be ridiculous... so many styles in the mix. All the way from the "I get raw!" to the super polished.

are you kidding?! don't even trip... that track is dope. Super laid back and introspective groove. You got room on there to drop some vocal samples in, but that's just a matter of taste, I wouldn't even say it needs anything else. Definitely a solid track.

i gota get in on this... ill use it as an excuse to finally make a complete song. also on the subject of os, im using ubuntu, linux based. its like a mix between mac and windows, not too bad

Count, In the beginning I was like "ok..", then the vocal came in with the variation and I was Like "DAMNNN". Nice track.

Whyseone. I know you aint really thinking that your track was garbage. Just fix that kick man. if you don't use that, I am gonna sneak that track in. That is the premier outro track.

maybe ill put up something from my oedipus wrex project if i cant get something done http://www.myspace.com/oedipuswrexxx

thanks Beanz.

What's up people?! I just got off the phone with Mike Acosta (who knew it would have been that easy) and pitched him the idea of the beat-tape, and how we plan on donating any sales towards a charity. He said he loves the idea and will pitch it to his marketing managers. HERE'S THE CATCH:

The samples in the beats made have to be self created, not sampled off of a record or other production. I know that that sucks, but Roland cannot be liable for any clearances and legal issues if they are going to help sell our Beat-Tape. Here is my idea.

I know that some of you may have samples in your beat. DON'T GET RID OF IT!!! We can use the sampled beats (if there are any) on our own beat-tape. For the charity/Roland one, try and recreate the beat with sound modules/software, whatever. Or just make a new beat, still using the SP for the work. I know this may throw a curveball at some of you, but remember the cause.

Also we must pick a charity of which we would like to donate to. please post ideas and we will all vote on one. I have to email Mike with a proposition on how this is all going to work, but want to make sure we can all agree to what I have posted above.

Thank you.

Steve

Right on. Way to get it out there man.

I wonder what Roland's role would be... what would be a best-case senario? Would they pay to press the cd's & have it mastered? and maybe put a link somewhere on their website? And would they want to package it as a Roland SP promo mix, or could we do our own artwork?

If they're down, they'll probably address all this stuff... cool idea for some corporate sponsorship tho.

In the conversation, I stated that we were not looking for any money and that we would find our own engineers for mixing and mastering. Don't worry I got this covered. As of right now, There role would be to help promote the tape for charity. It makes us and them look really good. They get a get business image, and we gain a great piece for our resume. Who knows what can come out of this. I am personally not looking for anything. I am just glad to be a part of a great experience and have some fun.

GREAT news beanz!!!!!! *downloading vst instruments*
But what about instrument samples? I mean for example a chopped up guitar solo and stuff?! AND WHAT ABOUT DRUMBREAKS???

Can't believe this is gettin serious... *respect*
This forums is just awesome... it started with a simple idea and now we gonna make a charity cd supported by Roland... WOW wow WOW !!!

btw. Count? DOPE shit man!
