And become an happy Octatrack user!
Or become depressed because the Octatrack will f up your mind trying to master it.
Just kidding.
But then it means you’re already a happy user
One of my favourite tracks of his, I’m in, like er Flynn.
I’m a little bit annoyed about having to pay and sign up for a SAAS loop/sample thing that I will never use to enter, but I’ll cancel it once entered.
But - Thanks for sharing @LyingDalai I’m looking forward to having a try at it.
Oh! Hadn’t seen that.
I guess it’s why they make trash emails for…
Not fond of such practice either.
I’m pretty sure they offer a free trial.
Yeah free trial but you have to put in payment details, and they charge £1 (which presumably they refund when you cancel)
I didn’t have the foresight to use a burner email
Also note that the stems are 88200khz, so I need to convert them to use in OT.
Have to use at least one sample from that loopcloud thing too, so I will have to download their app to get that, bah!
Fair enough, I didn’t get that far… A bit of a bother for sure but I think I’ll still have a crack at it, it’s Carl Craig innit!
Exactly, great track too
I don’t love the practice either, but if Carl Craig is getting even a tiny amount of VC money, I may just sign up to kick him a few more bills.
Yeah that’s the purpose of the contest
Advertise loopmasters sample pack and Elektron Ai Ai Ai and Propellerhead
Hard to tell if other sounds are allowed other than the stems and something from loopcloud
Yeah it is a bit ambiguous, I think I’ll probably just stick with the stems plus one loopcloud sample, just to be on safe side.
I’m all for creative limitations but it’d be nice to have some flexibility to use other sounds. I’ve asked on a loopcloud ig post about the competition. Will report back if they respond.
i read the terms of service, they indicate only one entry per artist is allowed.
pretty anemic stems
that was my first thought too. i’m not a fan of a few things around this contest, seems like a loopcloud sales pitch and not much more.
Looks like there is some clipping, there is a bit of bleed too, but I guess since it was originally recorded in 1989 onto multitrack tape it is to be expected (the bleed at least).
Not sure whether to do a remix in the spirit of the original or something totally different
@303abuser got a link to the TOS? I could not find it.
