Producers - Discussion / What!? Beatsampler...
« on: April 09, 2005, 05:54:58 PM »
Sup peeps.
Nice to see that ppl are startin to upload n show some skills. Its only good for everybody. Good to get inspired by other ppls improvements.
Time to take it up another step. Heres a beatsampler i put together... 10+ beats - total running time is about 7 minutes.
Check it out.
I dont ONLY make beats for mc's. Some of these tracks are more compositions. Very focused on always capturing a moment of musical and harmonic 'soul' in every beat. Not everybody into that all that much (u wont find dark grimey shit here)... so this might not be for everybody. Feedback - as always - appreciated.
Btw. all these loops (well most) are painstakingly constructed. Mostly composed riffs usin reason instruments. i NEVER just sample a whole loop from a record and just stick some drums and effects on top of it. So the longest sample snippets u hear are no longer than a second . if long sections sound sampled its cuz its been constructed that way... All samples arranged in way to try to make musical progression unique and different (indistinguishable from original), which IMHO is what makes a 'producer' vs a 'beatmaker' - (check out primo, hi tek etc - cats will never just lift a sample and not change it to make it their own style).
Always heavy focus on drums... 2 of the tracks use sampled drum loops the rest are constructed layerin samples (especially for snare- always layer 3 of 4 snares on top of each other).. n phattened up usin compression eq etc.
