So that’s everyone. Here’s how I saw it.
-
@Sleepyhead - I like your style, dude. I like Rakim. I really like this track. And I like the bonus beat, as well. Everything sounds punchy and warm and just everything you want in a track.
Runners up
@sezare56 - So. Damn. Funky. I’m so glad that you put up a video so we can see some of what’s going on with this. Honestly, my only problem with this is now I want an Octatrack.
@PineappleDave - This is wild and great. It’s funny because the flip itself is really straightforward. But the way you use the punch in fx is crazy and sends the whole thing somewhere else.
Special mention:
@FNKSTRNG - This one’s just dope. I like the combination of the kind of stiff drum programming with the breezy jazz samples. Also, congrats again.
I thought all of these were dope. So many styles.
drrumble - I really like how put together your tracks always are. And this track specifically was exactly why I wanted to do this. It was really great to hear this track flipped so well. Wish I could speak French.
rockpapergoat - Like I was saying in the other thread, the intro for this one trips me out. It takes like 3 turns where I thought I knew where you were going each time and then you switched it. And the main jam is funky. I like it a lot.
Dhuert - Everything but the way you programmed your drums reminds me a lot of early 2000s more experimental kind of underground stuff. (I think you would have had to chop up a break to perfectly hit that little niche.) The way the sax comes in is great in particular.
Yabba - There’s so much energy to this one. It gives me a live show kind of vibe. Too many people on stage. People bumping into the turntables. All that. Very cool.
Petesqwax - This just sounds fantastic. I like the looseness of the drums. The sound of the drums themselves. I liked that it’s really simple but just done very very well.
Kpuski - This one felt cinematic. Like it could be for a film. Some of the little bits in there also reminded me of Little Johny from the Hospital era Company Flow.
simonbradford - This one was weird. And very clean and clear on my headphones. And I can’t think of what the way you’ve got that piano in the mix reminds me of. More questions than answers, I’m afraid.
CCMP - Dope. It’s got a retro futuristic thing going almost. Like it was made in the 90s by someone trying to imagine what might be current now. It’s really cool. But it makes me sad that I’m bad at rapping double time.
TheGhostCat - I really like the drum work on this especially. It just locks in the acapella perfectly to the track.
Sherelle - Yo, this is mid 2000s down to the steel drum. It just grooves too. I like it.
LyingDalai - Dope. I really like how the poem fits in with everything especially in the front half. And yeah, you and sezare56 did a number on that Stanley Clarke record.
Eerieacid - This one was another where the flip is pretty straightforward but really well done. I liked how the drum programming matched the flip too. Like the way the kicks and hi-hats would double up kind of sounded like they were a part of the call and response thing going on in the sample.
And now your winners…
Thanks. Not really satisfied and felt off topic, but at least I thought there were interesting things as Octatrack demo ! (Only 1 bar pattern, swaping 3 distinctives samples with the crossfader trick, change loop with FILL…)
Great job everyone else as well! See y’all in the next one.
