Right…here’s a poke at BBC #2.
I still haven’t got to the sampling or audio file manipulation part of my Logic Pro training yet so there’s some pretty basic sample handling and audio clip manipulation.
Took just three samples…one at the beginning with drum and bass in the clear, one with some piano in the mix and one in the middle with vocals in the clear.
Sliced up the drums and created a few simple patterns, grabbed one bass note and then pitch-shifted it as needed and grabbed a few vocal bits and reversed them and layered on a bit of tape echo to hide the seams…

I’ve never tried embedding a SoundCloud link so sorry if this takes a few edits to get right…

Wow. That tape echo. It’s almost like a light phaser.

Seems like you’re making your way with chopping in Logic just fine.

Using Simpler?

Love the pitches down vocals. !

The ‘No’ samples have a little flanger on them too.
I’m using quick sampler to chop up the drums into individual beat slices and then entering my sequence through the piano roll.
For everything else I just imported the audio clips and chopped them up manually.
I look forward to discovering the blindingly simple way to do this in Logic instead of my rather manual approach.
Back to my training manual…

You will get more out of the manual approach… the easy way will come in time… I haven’t used the Sampler in Logic since I have hardware that I use… I’m afraid to go down that road, then I’ll feel like I’m wasting money on hardware…

Sorry mate I somehow completely missed you were doing this. I’m on board! Am I too late? I don’t think I’m too late. I’m gonna do it anyway and you can’t stop me!

So glad you found it!

I might start on something tonight but it’s a bit late already - definitely use the latest in somethign tomorrow that’s a really fun sample :metal: I’m tempted to do an AV submission as I had an instant idea for some video treatment…

I gotta warn you though, even though its a pop song from the 80’s… Debbie Gibson goes pretty hard with all the breakdowns in this version of the song! I was surprised when I was going through it…

AND I AM SO DOWN FOR SOME AV…

Did you see what @DimensionsTomorrow did in another thread? I’ll try to find it.

I’m rewatching it and I realized that I need to save my chops and revisit the piano breakdown.

Could be a great house riff.

I’m going to expand on my Happy Hardcore beat first though.

But I gotta tell you, I’m getting burnt out on samples. Too much chopping and not enough just playing music.

I spent all day yesterday chopping up and arranging for both the HipHop and the DnB battles.

I’m in that weird spot where nothing sounds good. I’m afraid to listen back again because I liked where I was going with the Hip hop one, so I want to be all refreshed when I go at it again.

Today maybe just a chill day of playing the Syntakt through the 404 effects.

I’m going to multitrack into the external effects bus, get some Juno chorus on swarm.

It’s gonna be a crazy layout too. Midi keyboard into Syntakt, midi out to 404. Plus audio.

Coming across this now. :older_man:
I wish that one day, in the not so distant future, Elektron/the mods could find it in their hearts to pin the briefs at the top of the forum page, so that more people could be aware of them.

Future feature request!

Dope finds on the samples! :beers:

I should have tagged you, but I didn’t want to pressure anyone for this challenge.

It’s all about the chill.

I really don’t mind this one being found on peoples own time, since there’s no deadlines.

It’s like a little jewel that finds you when you aren’t really looking.

Plus, people looking for challenges know where to go, and if enough activity is on the thread, it gets constantly bumped to the top.

Glad your here now though!
