That was a bit tougher beat to flip than it seemed IMO.
It was saucy, and props to manic beats for turning us onto this Isao Tomita character.
I'm a fan now.
Unfortunately after looking a bit more into the cat, I found a better copy then MP3, and so I
had to start all over after already chopping up and getting halfway through a beat, and couldn't make it in time.
Is there a rule that the target samp must be full quality?
There should be.
Anyways, as far as that samp, it was kind of weird because there seems to be endless ambient to it and you would think that it would be all wide open space.
But after cutting it (and least twice), it became apparent that dude is kinda riffing on the same melody.
There's stuff there but its interesting to me that everyone ended up pretty much using portions of the same melody, although probably from different sections of the song.
Everyone who pulled this one off showed some muscle IMO.
Congrats, beat champs.
edit: "Is there a rule that the target samp must be full quality?"
I can understand if a full quality sample might be legally dubious?
(Although there doesn't seem to be any difference to the people concerned with that stuff anyway though...)
So at least identifying the samp was a good idea so that it can be dug up for bitrate whores.
That would be my first order of business next time if necessary.
