Oh, and I wanted to mention that earlier on, I posted that I was having to adjust the horn sample to make it in tune with the track.
Eventually, I realised it wasn’t the horn sample, it was the guitar stabs I took from the disco track that seemed out of tune.
I had to tweak them nearly 30 cents to make it all fit.
Maybe it was the way the guitarist was bending the notes 
haha… i had so much trouble trying to make that jive. the choice seemed like a good idea at the time. famous last words…
most of the time, the biggest issue is my lack of musical training. i feel like i need to spend more time on the fundamentals than just smashing stuff together, but the immediate gratification factor is high with sample-based production.
Apologies for spoiling my vote by not choosing a winner and runner up! I promise to pay more attention to the rules next time!!
Wow thanks for all the kind words everyone! I kind of felt like a fraud before, having hosted a battle without actually winning like the others, now I’m finally part of the cool kids 
I really loved this battle because of the limitations, great job @drrumble! Way better rules then what we started out with. My admiration for all of you increased a lot hearing all the tracks, because I knew what samples everyone had to use and I admire the skills needed to make all these very unique tracks. I really appreciate both the inspiring production skills and the positive vibes and feedback present in these battles, props to everyone who participated!
I’ll gladly give the honour of hosting, and deciding the rules for the next one to either @Yabba or @looms as @drrumble suggested, they had the same amount of points right? Both of your tracks blew my mind by the way! Does either of you prefer to do this next one? Or you guys could make it into a joint venture…? If I can do anything to help, or you don’t have time to host let me know!
Congratulations @Sleepyhead, heavy beat for sure and well deserved!
I had an idea for one but would be cool to make it a collaborative effort similar to this one with 3 people picking samples maybe? I’m also new here so hosting sounds a bit terrifying tbh.
I would have voted for @looms.
I am really in a rush these days and wanted to give a proper listen to everyone before stating my choices, sorry to have missed the deadline (I though it was set for tomorrow).
Here is the vocal version of my track.
Well all I can say is: great job on your first battle! If @Yabba is also ok with it you could set up some rules for the next one. I’d love for the 3 of us to pick some samples together if thats your idea.
Basically you can just start a new thread when youre ready, copy the rules/text from the last one and update deadlines/rules/samples etc. Then after the deadline for submitting beats you can create a new thread for voting like this one. If you need help with anything let me know!
