Here’s my attempt.
I used Amy Winehouse uploaded by @sezare56
Oh Superman uploaded by @Boxymusic
And the guitar intro on the track uploaded by @drrumble, which I altered to make the main sample, I also used strings from this track.
I threw a verse from Kool G Rap in there too.
I made the main beat in Digitakt and recorded it from the master track into Ableton where I added the Kool G Rap and Amy Winehouse vocals.
I was worried I had to skip this one, since I was on vacation without any gear until 4 hours ago… but I managed to cook up something quick! The beat is made entirely on the ARmk2, and performed in 1 take.
The "O Superman’ sample by @Boxymusic gave me major Dilla - E=MC2 vibes, so that was the main inspiration. I also used @Buska’s beasty boys, @CCMP’s beatles, and @MattLxx’s talking sample.
Hope you guys like it. It’s way out of my usual comfort zone again, but I love the fact that these battles inspire me that way!
Here is my contribution.
Bukowski (@ViolentMeals) in atmospheric and Mercury (@Sherelle )in “bassline”.
Undoubtedly needed to work more on the rhythm and the integration of the voices
but I am preparing for the European championships of procrastination.
Do not see any disrespect in it.
Look forward to listening to you in peace, thank you.
Okay, here’s my submission (glad I finally submitted one - on the third try). I used a sample from Eryka Badu’s On and On submitted by @audio2.0, well, sort of. I didn’t realize @audio2.0 submitted the acapella version, but I sampled the full version. It is what it is!
As per usual, there is a ridiculous amount of good stuff submitted so far. I will post the voting and feedback thread in the morning( pacific time) in order to give any stragglers in later time zones a chance to submit their beats.
