Still waiting for a 'no outside samples' battle.


Take the higher path Brother man.
Show them how.
You dont really need all the samples in the world to be creative!
Back in the day they made beats with half a second on the Fairlight.

(One of the few times the Australians channeled their inner Englishman.)

One of the most successful german artists used it, too. I don't like his stuff though... Doesn't mean the sample isn't dope!

Nice sample choices, Dan! They go well with the story objective too.

This is showing me the limitations of maschines sequencer in standalone though. Got my story idea and the fitting sounds for each part... but not being able to change the bpm or time sig makes it a real headache to arrange a story.

Should maybe get the mpc studio out of it's box again if I got enough time...

Waiting to hear what y'all do this round!

Gotta flake out of this round fellas, I got the break cut and some samples arranged but ive lost a few tacts in the last two days namely most of the cursors and the mode which has put an end to my creation :(

Taking the old f*cker to the shop to get it fixed...good luck, see you in a couple rounds

pzzzzzz

here's my entry for this battle. Obi, i gotta thank you man, i had an awesome time makin' this. the samples were dope and challenging, and the theme was great, really got me thinkin'. i used some skits from a favorite album of mine, maybe y'all are gonna recognize it, i thought it worked well.
happy flippin'

Don't like the drums timing, the AOTP track still knocks this out the ball park, he's hardly chopped lazy sod!!

Interesting stuff on this one. Lots of fun working on this, and it was a much needed distraction from the day to day.



man, some real interesting stuff coming out of this one, sick the drumgod in particular.. bliprock too.. it's interesting to see what caught their ear. I went with a vibe that I could utilize as a track later on after the battle was done since I don't have much time to make beats these days.

this is first battle where i did not use any other samples at all, just the ones provided. Usually i grab a kick or snare but this one didn't need it.. waiting to vote

Thanks for the acknowledgment,especially coming from a cat with a skill set such as yours :worthy:

I know alot of cats probably overlook me because I don`t have alot of bells and whistles and pixie dust in my beats but basically I be high doing this stuff and that window of inspiration is small as well as my attention span.So I try to get the basics tight and leave the razzle dazzle stuff to my brothers.

No shots directed at anyone.Don`t want my words to be misinterpreted.
