Ambient Thuggery (new beat)

Still at the embryonic stage with my beat making

but i'm learning a lot from you guys ! sp404 linked to a portable dvd player for the sample , then dumped to Ableton live to tweak it a little . Please go easy on the criticism if you have any as i'm a sensitive soul

PEACE http://www.box.net/shared/jmekj6rciy ps: have fixed the problem with the gap at the end of the song and the large file size ! many thanks to JAY

Cheers Jay still trying to get to grips with ableton soooo much to learn

but it's all part of the learning curve

but at least now i have a better idea of how to put my ideas into practice , so more beats on there way.PEACE

I know what you mean about the gap at the end ! track is ony just over 2min but after i'd saved it in ableton the file was a huge 71mb

then i converted it and it came down to 10mb which is still massive ! not sure where i went wrong

As for the filmsy feel the sample is taken from Shane Meadows film This is England set in the 80's against a SKA music background . Well back to the drawing board for me i guess LMAO. Peace

yo i use ableton 7 and im getting to know my way around pretty good ...when you finish recording into ableton push stop (spacebar) then highlight your track and then render it and just the highlighted parts will be rendered...

yo man its all about the (crunch munch)

if anyone knows what im talking about let me know =)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Jay

i thought the fleetwood mac sample might have been the problem as it was an mp3 and not a wave file

but what you said makes sense ! will be coming to you with all my problems from now on

will give it a try when i get back from work and let you know ! cheers.
