BB#9 - Entries Due June 12th, 6pm EST.

* Flip this sample to create your beat
* Join the MPC-Forums.com Beat Battle group at Soundcloud
* 1 beat only please.
* Monitor the voting thread for the battle you entered - please do not vote for yourself
* If you win, I will set up temporary permissions so you can start the next battle.

Posting rules

* We're going to try things a little differently for this battle, let's see how it works out. To submit your entry, please:

1) Join the MPC-Forums.com Beat Battles Group: http://soundcloud.com/groups/mpc-forums ... t-battles/
2) Upload the beat to your own soundcloud page - please make it downloadable
3) Make sure it includes the battle number in the title - i.e. BB#6. If it doesn't we might think it's a random spam beat and delete it
4) Share the beat with the forum group via the 'share to group' button

We'll keep all beats hidden until the first day of voting, then all beats will be made live on the forum soundcloud page.

* Currently, you do NOT need to use an MPC in your beat - however in the future, we will definitely be running special battles that will have an MPC requirement. But generally speaking, Battles are open to everyone.

Production rules

These are the default rules for any battle - however, the person who starts a battle can override pretty much any rule.

* 1 beat per person
* TIME LIMIT: Since you guys are uploading to your own accounts, there is no way for the battle to run over soundclouds 120 minute account limit. So make them as long as you want. Although, you should at least try to keep them to the limit of a standard song (2:30-4:00). *REMEMBER: It's your job as the beat maker to get the listeners attention to want to listen immediately. If you make it too boring, people will skip it!
* flip the chosen sample however you want
* Outside drums and bass ARE allowed
* Outside samples/synths ARE allowed for layering, but pleased do not make it so the sample is out-shined. The object is to hear how you flipped the sample. So keep that as the main focus of your beat.
* no acapellas
* short vocal samples allowed
* cuts/scratches allowed

Good luck everyone

lots of pieces to chop, lets see if i can make anything worth uploading

Not my kind of sample I guess, but hey, challenge accepted =D
Our taste is like our ass, always divided.

Yea. I'm not too big a fan of the sample, but imma see what comes out of it. Just got another 16gb cf card in the mail today!!!

Dude this sample is great! So much room for exploring, chopping, mopping, etcing, etc.

promised myself i would not whinge about another mp3, dope sample manic, cant wait to chop it and get it poppin.

Damn this is a good sample..

Gonna try something, been slackin..

just started listening.. after 5 seconds I knew : this is DOPE!
Seriousley, can't believe people are sayin : "this ain't my type o sample"
It's got rhodes in it
+ it's all open.. you can put Ur OWN drums with it!!

Hardest part to me is to decide what NOT to use
It's all good

its just way sad,, a sad feel..

you reckon? Sure theres ways to funk it up
Personally I find it rather relaxingley chilled and layed back..
yes it is kinda mellow.. But man, you can make ANYthing with these sounds.. theres plenty. I could make 5 beats outa these sounds.. Not saying everybodys gonna like all of 'em
I shouldn't be braggin here anyway, as it's only gonna put pressure on me.. shit, I don' even know wether I'll have the time to make one beat dill deadline.. too much work at the job at the moment

lol i hate tracks this long with so much space to create.. you actually have to choose what part to chop up

finished my version, I just hope I can remember to upload it this time

i just upped mine, lol, had to whip it out last night and move on with projects, haha no timing correction has been used in the making of this beat.

i dont even know where to start

this is my first beat ive made ever so suppose im still getting used to working the MPC 100

good you whipped one out in a night tom haha

ive been toying with the sample and you are right, u can make plenty of different beats with it, nothing has stood out yet, i have it chopped very randomly on my 500. i at one point pitched the chops down to -10.93 and had some shit jamming and was almost happy, but scratched the idea last night..lol
