BLKrbbt's Beat Corner

I just sampled the beginning jam. I guess we are gonna have to see how good is Jacks timing.

Yup that’s what Sasha K uses! I’d get one but I already have bass covered with my current synths and don’t see a need to add a Bass Station II or Makevolent right now. I’ll try them out next time at a synth shop to see if they would be worth getting in the future. Between the A4, Virus and Sub 37 the bass is covered.

KMFDM sucks

I got the Syntakt to sync up, but jacks playing is a little off grid at spots. I think I need to chop it up even more to get the synth hits on beat.

I’m going to work on it tonight. When I post it in the JAMuary thread (fuck those birds, I’m gonna kill a couple myself), I’ll quote your post in it… I think it will be fun for others to see the same subject being used for jams from multiple people!

By all means do :slight_smile: And more chopping is generally the answer :stuck_out_tongue:

HOO boy… did this take some time to get up…

Its a good start… and I think this is a good way to show what the thread is all about, with progress being showed…

MORE TO COME!

I don’t know if I’m going to use this one in particular. But I have had this same idea bouncing around my head for a while now. Sampling nothing but people selling or promoting new gear. It’s a good idea

Go for it. Post it here so we see what you did!

When they demo the gear, there are some great playing involved, which I think Red Means Recording said is part of the deceptive nature of Synthfluencers getting you to buy.

Actually, it’s still a part of this challenge if you use another video. This one is wide open, and even just the prompt idea is criteria enough.

Let me know the source, because I may try it out too.

Plus, people really benefit from having one place to hear a bunch of different takes on an idea.

I mean producing and the creative process alone.

Here’s my go.

a KMFDM synth influenced mixup, in the spirit of this challenge it is a quick work in progress rough unmixed mess of sound
I probably won’t finish it because have to get on youtube real quick and buy my next synth
:wink: :musical_keyboard: :speaking_head: :magnet: :cyclone: :candy: :brain:

haha… this beat bangs!

The modulated vocal chops are nice!

Wait… that switchup is hard AF!

I’m just realizing that I spent way too much time chopping the synth jam, when I could have just warped it in Logic.

I think I may do that to try to create the same thing I did on the 404, but on Mashine.

It’s definitely weird compared to the source. But in a great way!

I’m so glad you liked this!

Heres my start!

I’m sorry. But this song goes so fucking hard!

I mean the original!

Cheers @BLKrbbt that was a really easy one to work with because of the breakdowns.

Everything is 100% from the Debbie track.

Pad is Debbie’s vocals through Pigments granular engine.
A bass sample from the bass breakdown with some drive and filtering and flanger and then the “No no” from the vocal breakdown run through a harmoniser and some Fragments granuliser and bit crushing for extra manglyness.

Had lots of fun with it :crazy_face:

Yo. Nice vibe!

I picked something with lots of space just to make it easy on us before the deadlines of the other battles.

Plus the original was produced so well.

I didn’t realize how good the extended cut was until I chopped it up.

You made good use of Pigments!

I may add some pigments myself to the more finished version of track I’m working on.
