SP-FORUMS

gis_sweden wrote:Using 2 devices and “bouncing beats” should not be allowed, unless the rules tells otherwise. Make you your beat in one machine. That’s the challenge. When exporting/recording your final “product” you are allowed to add eq or compression if you like or need to. Personally I like the “keep it in the box” rule. Its great to sit in the library or something, with your SP, knowing that people around the world struggle with the same limitations/problems. But making dope beats.

Quite frankly, there's nothing in the rules that says otherwise. It only says:

1. All SPs only SPs. all chops, all sequencing. External mastering (E.Q., compression) is ok but don't rearrange anything. The exception to this is if any of the SPs have a useable time stretch feature that is disallowed to be fair to the ones that don't have it.

So I figure this means... use SPs!

And I've honestly always used more than one SP.

had some shit sketched out on the 404, fully forgot tho. next battle.

don't mind the limitations of having 2 use one sp machine only, battles with clearly defined restrictions r the most fun imo.

OK the rules are unclear about this. True. But if you read the following discussion it ends up with the conclusion that "bouncing" is not OK.
But rules and "traditions" can be changed.
If we are allowed to use 2 or more SPs then bouncing to tape or digital recorder should be allowed to. But not to other samplers (MPC, Kaoss Pad, Microsampler...). We want the "SP-sound".

My question now is.
How many of you are bouncing and/or using more than one SP in the battles

Yeah I was always under the impression it was 1 sp only and kept inside the sp, without bouncing to anything, MAAAAAN I wish I had an extra SP.

uh. so twenty mins after i made my post decided 2 hav a crack anyway. made it entirely in the og404. no sequencing, no external editing or bouncing. used the second sample only, no extra vsts or drums. took fucken ages, listened 2 that shit on loop n resampled like 3 hunna times, nathan but 404, a casio 3240 watch and a notepad.

then just as i was bout 2 cut the cord n upload yesterday morn, asio cut my phone n internet line. also possible might b another victim o this country's decrepit copper networks. u will never b forgiven, malcolm.

no technician until monday at least. net on mobile like last century. means i'll miss freo's first gf win today n the breaking bad finale mon morn.

in a dark place rn.

fu forever, asio, u have ur shit backwards n ur strategy basic. get on it proper, fucklames.

hopefully upload tues.

here's my belated 141. dirty as, cbf cleaning up on comp just dumped direct from compact flash (n boosted volume 10db). all og 404, only 'hunch' sample, no extras, no sequencing, no external bouncing or editing.

was fun doing it all in box (tho final product certainly has that distinct 404 tinniness, mightve been nice to dump to tape at some point). maybe alternate challenges, all in one box for one battle and bouncing allowed 2 another sp machine or cassette for the following battle?

Usually the battle host makes the poll. Its not very complicated but I'll save you the trouble.

Damn, I just realized there's only 3 entries. Should we let this one go another week?

who cares 4 votes, somebody start another challenge as soon as possible plssssssssssss.

Chill! I'll start the poll now.

Just for funs sake: This is my piece. Didn't sit on the SP for a longer time. I'll be up for the next battle though. LEt me know watcha think of this...
