Itās actually a tournament, there are like 20 of us, it will go on for MONTHS & the lineup has already been decided BUTā¦with these tournaments people always drop out & people always want to join in a little late, so itās def worth checking outā¦ there is a good chance you could get squeezed in.
Hereās the link, we had to pick a wrestler for our character & the first beat mission is making a beat using our wrestlers entrance music.
Check out the arena in sp-forums for other battles. Sp Arena: http://sp-forums.com/viewforum.php?f=15

Here is my submission. Somebody wrote and said we should finish our projects (Umonox?) . I couldnĀ“t agree more, though my Digitakt-projects rarely seem to leave the box. This time I just put it out there.
I really liked this theme in the song, so I played around with it on the a4 and the digitakt. Used some samples from the film + drum samples and recorded my vocal pad through my internal Mac-microphone (!) because I didnĀ“t have access to my regular studio.
Thatās a beautiful track youāve put together there @jete. I want to encourage you to share more with us as you finish them. I want to revisit the comment made by @J0n35y regarding the idea that these tracks would make for a great playlist; this is playlist worthy for sure IMHO.
Alrighty. I just recorded this track again but this time I used my MV-8000 as a DAW (1st time doing so) and I used the arranger in the OT (1st time doing so). I ran a HPF on the kick drums because they were too boomy. I added some over the top wow and flutter to the mix, courtesy of the MV. Iām channeling that pawn shop overused VHS tape character. Remastered to sound worse.
as others wrote about their process, i will also share how I did it for both tracks:
roughly cut samples in ableton, than via transfer app into rytm mk1 (no one shots - longer parts, cutting them up in rytm later)
made some sounds and saved them to the pool, using just samples, no synth engines (some filter resonance)
just jamming out kits, patterns and ideas
used trig conditions, soundlocks, fills, performance macros, slide trigs (for example the intro vocal in the second song is just a trig at the beginning and than later a trigless trig with higher tuning of the sample, connected smoothly with the slide trig)
its a really intuitive and focused workflow with just one box
then i recorded the stereo out into ableton (cheap behringer 2ch. interface) in one live take (no song mode)
slight eq before exporting to wav, used comp in rytm, have no real mastering skills
My contribution is at the above link (YouTube video). I used the Digitakt for sampling and Ableton Live 9 to put the song/track together. I sampled sound from the movie and my favorite song by Tangerine Dream - āCloudburst Flight.ā The drums, violin, and bass are from cinematic loops used in Ableton Live. I am new to Elektron equipment, and this is the first piece I have created with them (I own the Digitone and the Digitakt). Happy Halloween everybody!
