@looms Sometimes time away from electronics is good, and I can empathize with you for your time away, if you’re going to keep making funky tracks like this! Nice groove, and not sure if you tried doing so, but your track gave off some heavy p-funk vibes
@BLKrbbt haha man post as much as your mind/body/soul allows! You’re sharing the gift of creation
I put in some work to get everything not sounding like trash… the first 8 bars are kinda reserved, then as I was sequencing, I said fuck it, and just put in a bunch of Belgian jump up bass.
I 've been making things kinda conservative for all these battles lately, and even the summer jam I did for this is actually nice, but it felt good to punk out for a bit.
Here’s what I did, it’s quite simple but not too bad.
I spent rather less time making the beat than I did endlessly tweaking and tuning drum hits cos I couldn’t get em sounding right.
Thanks mate… Let me get my talk box! I wasn’t going for a p-funk vibe honestly, I just wanted to throw something together but it does have that vibe doesn’t it! which has given me some ideas if I have the time/inclination to try em
Cheers mate, it’s from the sample.
it’s the second chord from the sample re pitched, I put a tiny bit of lfo on it to give each of the three notes played a slightly different feel, in a effort to try and make it sound less like a played sample chord
No worries buddy, yeah it’s from just one of the chords, first note Is played at minus 7 semitones from the original pitch, second note is minus 5 then the last note is its original pitch.
Dude! If you haven’t, have a play with the pitch algorithms on your 404 as I’m pretty sure at least one of them keeps the length of the sample the same but you can play it melodically. Might not sound perfect but pretty neat!
The pitch always sounds great, but the artifacting on the time stretch is pretty noticeable if the samples are clean, unless that’s what your going for, but if I do that, I flavor it with the bit crusher to add those crunchy harmonics.
