Nice to see this return
I did beat 5
Using OT as the brain
Started with using a sample from the memphis battle that i never finished but had already put in lemondrop, couldn’t get anything i really liked but used as a texture here and there
Have had some non working instruments around and was able to repair two of them to use
First was an old fan powered reed organ that stopped working 15 or so years ago but never got around to prperly diagnose, just had to move some wires to bypass the on/off switch to get it working ![]()
That does the chords
Second ‘repair’ was minibrute, needed a new fuse. Still haven’t found the correct size fuse but was able to install one thats the right amps but a bit to big. Wont be a permanent fix but should hold if dont move it around much.
That does a little 2 note sine-y thing
Drums I combined breaks from LL - mama said knock you out and Guy - Teddy’s Jam. Resampled as one in OT then sliced. On one track did extreme lowpass for far away sounding bass part. Another track main sampled drums
Then had midi going to mfb-522 for some drum machine sounds.
The mfb has some individual outs so sent those to a small mixer to eq each sound a bit but also sent the clap through the aux send to the nts-1 for some reverb and delay (nod to the dub challenge which I never finished)
Then did a few scratches from some suggested songs
Snare and Apani vocal from Anti-Pop disorientation
Nas destroy&rebuild acapella from Stillmatic
Im in the market for a dj mixer at the moment so all scratches were without a crossfader (j guess i chopped apani on octa but otherwise)
I think went with the 3rd take or so, one pattern playing mutes and a bit the nts a mixer sends
A little bit of compression from RNC on the master out
Damn thats a long write up
So heres a weird pic of the organ (also cat tax)
