Bi-weekly record-diving sampling extravaganza | 20 | Chocolate Milk - Action Speaks Louder Than Words

I did another quick one, probably needs an acapella again, It’s still a bit plain.
I just wanted to make something a little bit more funkier than my other one

natehorn · 2023-07-01T16:50:26.116Z

I really need to get on this! I had a bit of a backlog I wanted to get through and have only just caught up - I’ll work on something tomorrow Enjoying everyones efforts!

Quick one all in Abletoné. Weird one! Bass from the sample. Vocals vocodeeeeered.

@Yabba drums are delicious man awesome intro to a massive beat!

@looms sweet style man those stabs are lovely!

I think I was overly entranced with the snare on the intro of the record and overlooked the lack of samples to really grab from the track props to @everyone for the immense effort you’ve endured and shared in your respective processes to come up with such great tracks!

Here’s two remixes of an og song. The first is more recent when I got tired of working on the second one lol so you may hear some similar elements between the two. I hope no one was afraid to use the Bruton playlist btw, and I took some bits from there from being on a library music high lately/always. Had lots of fun jammin with you guys again this week and looking forward to another @natehorn discovery in the not so distant future!

Yooo, I’m loving these @aarb420

BLKrbbt · 2023-07-02T22:12:32.040Z

@aarb420 is the truth.

aarb420 · 2023-07-03T00:25:04.607Z

@looms @BLKrbbt thanks guys full torque gassed up over here haha

aarb420:

@BLKrbbt Dope remix such an unexpected take but this is a slapper noice man

You know, Maschine Mk3 is really starting to feel like a cheat code.

aarb420 · 2023-07-03T01:44:42.034Z

You really did an awesome job with the Lucini mix man, I mean that is that what you used for that beat?

BLKrbbt · 2023-07-03T01:54:31.432Z

The thing is, I don’t use the Maschine to finger drum… I use it as a complete production workstation. And I upgraded to Komplete Standard. So it’s maxed out (almost). And I’ve refined my workflow to match.

The real star is this standalone audio recorder called Rewind. I can now grab audio at anytime and drag it into Maschine.

I grabbed the acappella, and sequenced the drums with 40’s Own Drums. Then chopped up the sample and played the chops, adjusted and partially quantized (I’m using it less and less to get a looser feel)

All is arranged on Maschine Mk3.

Then I bounced to Logic for a little Diva action to finish it off.

I could’ve been truer to the sources, but I wanted to bang. This new midi controller was just what I needed for the DAW work.

@BLKrbbt I love that you found the Lucini acapella and hooked it up with your beat. It really does feel like those two lush sounds belong together. Great beats.

@aarb420 thank’s for the warm welcome! I am loving the sunday morning challenges

I admit, I treated this record with so much respect that I was almost scared to mess with it too much. After spending a looong time thinking I was going to continue experimenting with a skippy uk garage style beat on this - it was too much of a stretch for me and I ended up keeping true to the head nod factor and to my hiphop roots. (but with a big nod to the UK with the vocals I chose).

Thanks again for the invite - keep em coming

aarb420 · 2023-07-03T05:04:19.645Z

@surfacescan Nice one man! That’s an awesome mix you have over there

natehorn · 2023-07-03T14:00:01.373Z

I missed the deadline but I am not dead - I will do something this week I promise!

Yabba · 2023-07-03T15:25:51.821Z

@aarb420 those are really good mate.
Love em both

aarb420 · 2023-07-03T16:13:39.815Z

@Yabba thanks man you too over there loved how you got the beat to explode on your intro that’s a great technique!

@natehorn

all good man hope you’re doing fantastic over there, and looking forward to hear those flavors!

BLKrbbt · 2023-07-03T22:01:35.749Z

Hmmm… could I go harder?

I mean, I already made the chops.

@BLKrbbt Lucini V2

BLKrbbt · 2023-07-05T07:11:18.846Z

AAAARRRRGGHHHHH!!!

I hate retreading old ground… If Luchini ver 1 wasn’t so good… maybe i might be able to do some mining some more…

I think Im one and done

I tried!

natehorn · 2023-07-07T16:04:30.389Z

Had a play with this today but didn’t really get anywhere No criticism of the track though - I thought I’d find it easy to work with but I think I just wasn’t feeling it, one of those days I think! Will try again but so far I’m just jealous of everyone else’s efforts…

Might try pulling it into Ableton and seeing what I can cook up there instead
