Absolutely KILLED them vocal chops!!!

Love how you laid down a whole new melody from somethin as basic as that -
Thats a highly favored technique to me and somethin I respect MUCH since I know how hard it can be...

From jump, melody seemed kinda joyful, happy, whatever... but THEN the thick synth bass dropped -
Amazin what a two note bottom can do!!!

Gotta mention the presence of the drums as well - kick was PHAT and the snare came nicely thru too -
Been workin on your mix as of lately... Dig that!

Lyrics always refreshin - "...Got styles for days..." - true dat true dat!!!

Dope beat. I love how you edited the vocal (?) sample to for the main line. Very cool. Warbly. I can't tell what it is at all. Vocal or instrument or keyboard. Bass is very tight as well.

My favorite parts are when the beat drops and comes back with that BOOM. Mix is nice too.

I like how you took that sample and made some COMPLETELY different sounding isht!

The bass is real nice!

I dig that quirk to the track!

This is good, man!

Very creative.

We see through all that boo boo like it's ghost shit... (c) Quelle Chris

chops are on point like crazy.
rhymes are tight.
and the mixing/EQing is all balances but still retains ur grimy style.
excellent way to start us off.

Okay..i chopped up five parts of song, but i pasted them together into two long parts... Next i created two samplers for each part so i could play them on the keyboard...then i played the samples in a sequence i made up for the first part...i played the drums and added a bassline which i played also..i also added a drum fill at the end of the last bar from a old record......

the second part of the beat was where i wanted a different sound but tried to keep in the same realm...lol...

the second part of the sample(s) was used here along with some from the first part....i used slightly different drums and went to the Thor keybord for the low end sound. I also used some synth sounds from the thor. I also used a percussion loop from an african cd. I added some scratches and sequenced it down...

I always feel naked if my shit dont have some kind of vocals or something so i added the vocal shit at the end...

2piece suit(e) always a good thing... diversity RULES when combined with skills!

Part 1:

One of them simple chops thatll basically hold a whole song by itself because of the "richness" of the chords, instruments combined, atmosphere etc. -
Great find and the way you used it def. did it justice!

Drums wasnt too loud nor too lo - sittin somewhere in between just nicely, toms was a nice touch -
I wish you wouldve had the kick and the snare mimic the swing of the hi hats but thats minor really...

Bass raw - soundin real lopitch to the point where it almost sounds stretched, but it hit the way it should!

Def. a DOPE starter!!!

Part 2:

Had the reggaetonish rhythm which somewhat threw me off, but hey - still dope and I can appreciate a solid switch up!!!

The echoey lo end at the loopstart does hit a different vibe than what the chops dictate -
Doesnt take away from the sound of the REAL star tho - strings and piano still be soundin BEAUTIFUL!!!

Lastly, the sinuswave scratch adds crazee atmosphere - always dope but sadly, very rare in these times...
No matter, makes your beat stand out from the bunch in a good way!

All in all, great effin job!!!

Was a bit all over the place but cool. Trippy. Sizzurpy.

I'm loving the chops on this. I really dig the second section as well. Love the scratching. Dope beat.

You got the drums banging and the bass fits as well. The transition to your 2nd beat is great too.

The only thing I'm not feeling that much is the snare roll sample. I think it sounds too different from the drum sounds you used and by balancing it way right it stands apart even more. Maybe you could've taken the sample as a blueprint and re-created it yourself (making it a part of your drum programming). For the 2nd beat, I would've left it out altogether, I don't think it's needed there and almost gets in the way of what you got going on there.

I like how u took bits of the vocal samples and rearranged.

Only critique is the drum roll sounds off a bit, but I'm feeling the bass and drums overall.

The beat is airy and I like that.

The change up was VERY welcome.

This is good man!

to make it dope. I could hear one of the following 3 rappers rhyming on this and it being some fresh shit where somebody would want to keep hearing the song a bunch of times (in no order):

1. danny brown
2. kool keith
3. del the funky

as a stand alone beat i like how u chopped the sounds and kept it undrgrnd hiphop. but if one of them 3 rappers spit on it-- i could hear any one of them busting on this and taking to that level. has to be that caliber of mc with that caliber of rhyme skills to make that bitch what it could become. but i can hear it crystal clear in my head

Yep, the title "Disco Bliss" is kinda ironic, unless that disco is located in some stanky, grimy-ass dungeon. Like it a lot!

In my view, you could make the beat even hotter if you'd play with the sequencing. 4 bars of this, 4 bars of that is a bit predictable as the beat goes along. If you left everything as it is and just did it 4-2-4-4-2 or whatever, it'd be even doper, I think.

HA! LOL
I was actually referencing the sample source on the disco part and referencing what I did with it on the Bliss part.
Not really a disco fan but I made it blissful

Its simply too much text to break the process down -
I will answer any and all ?s below tho!

For now, enjoy the music!!!

----------------------------------

NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!

this is one of the most ambitious chops u've came with the way u have this sequenced together.

the 1st joint , (it all) ends, had me wishing Guru was still around and would've recorded something for this. r.i.p. -- dope shit. took me like 8 listens to realize this didn't have any hi hats.

80s cruisin reminded me of some hi tek.

dream sequence is a lush slice of melancholly , and i like how it faded out, and into

this early 00's busta rhymes sounding ass party beat also known as bad man business! lol.

young love against the word is that flavor. u filteredthefuckoutofthesampleonthisone. i dont know where u got that Horn sounding sample to sound so fresh that comes in around 2:41, but that's a dope cut for real.

taste of freedom and dream sequence run together so ill

run faster is kind of bugged out with how that little warbly ass synth sounding sample is underneath the beat. lol

then at 4:11 thats a classic waiting to happen.

the morning after was like leaving on a bright note.. sounded kind of positive and bright.


i really like the way you put your chop together this time. it was entertaining and dope the whole way thru.

the only thing u shoulda done was make your joint downloable for the folks who still like to burn shit to cd and have new shit to turn up to in the car.

and damn. that DAVE From the D joint just came on... and THAT shit is the joint!

* * * * =========
* * * * =========
* * * * =========
==============
==============

...to listen, reflect and drop individual feedback - thats all I could hope for wit this really!!!

Thanks a bunch fam.

As you pointed out, shits sposed to be entertainin, thats the idea -
Some of these wouldnt hold water if presented to an emcee, but as a project in itself I think it goes...

Was def. havin a lotta fun doin this here, and I can honestly say I will NEVER try to squeeze a sample that hard ever again hah!

(It All) Ends jus sounded whole to me without the hats. A lot of these did actually.
Thinkin bout it, I often find that to be the hardest part of drum prog. to me - buildin the hats and percs...
Beatwise, thats my personal fav. right there!

Busta woulda been hella dope on #4 hah!

Horn sounds on Young Love... is actually the sustained vocal note that leads from the intro to the main section of the sample!
Heavy processin on that tho, filterin, distortion etc.

4:11 quickly became my silver placement outa the bunch - shits sounds hard without bein TOO hard you know!?
Still a certain melody to it...

Ohh, and lemme edit that SCloud real quik and make it DLable.

Preciate the props man, really.

NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!

>Horn sounds on Young Love... is actually the sustained vocal

>Heavy processin on that tho, filterin, distortion etc.

I messed around with that too. I pitched it way up and looped it to make it sound like a pad. It had to go though, cause there was no room left in my beat.

But yo, 10 beats! How long did that take you, if I may ask? Some of the guys here seem to do put things together lightning fast. It usually takes me a day for beat, more if I want to get really intricate, mix down not included...

Overall, put together very well. Nice transitions, different moods, coherence, everything there.

My favorite is the "Dream Sequence". (Did you check the mids on the snare though? Could be reduced a bit to not get in the way of the sample. Not sure from here - would have to A/B.) "Run Faster" is very Dillaesque - would fit well on one of his tapes.

...for the kind words and sharp ears!

Ill admit I kinda went overkill on this one lol...

My job (afternoon/evening) allows me to make music at night where im mos motivated to create. Took my evening hrs. out the schedule the past week, made room for plenty production!

I did 2-3 sketches per day, coupla days ina row, added the last friday night I think.

Far as mixing/mastering, Ive got a custom preset chain on the output that usually works well for what Im tryna do!

Still sketches to me tho - its only a few of these id forward to an emcee...

Twas more an exercise in balance, quality vs. quantity, while pushin the boundaries for what I can do wit a given sample!

----------------------------------

NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!

i dropped vocals on.. but the mixed was fucked up-- so i included the acapella at the end of it. the beat was dope

http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/48350415/file.html

i called it 'nothing to mix'. produced by you, featuring me. lol

Dope work this month as usual.

That first beat is ridiculous!

will do!!!

----------------------------------

NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!

Love the style of these. What program are you mixing in? Sounds very crisp.

It All Ends: Love the chopping on this. Very sparse. I'm trying to think if any fragmented percussion might work but I think it might be complete how it is.

80s Cruisin: Great hihats and great transition to the next beat.

Dream Sequence: Man I definitely want to hear this one more. I can totally hear someone like Dwele making an amazing song out of this.

Bad Man Business: Sounds kind of like the Law & Order theme. Ha!

Young Love: I love the drums on this. I want to hear some more samples coming in on this one.

Taste of Freedom: This one is good. Too short though. I want to hear if it can pass the monotonous test (if the beat can sound good for at least a minute or two)

Dream Sequence II: Great little interlude.

Run Faster: This is another one I wanted to hear a complete song out of. This is perfect to rhyme on. I can hear some really grimy raps on this. Great bass and drums.

Empty Coffin: Love the kick pattern on this. Glad this one comes back after the break with the vocal sample. Very eerie.

The Morning After: Yes, great close out track. I want to hear more of this one as well. Works great as an outrolude though. I love the percussion.

Excellent stuff. I really want to hear 'Dream Sequence,' 'Run Faster,' 'Empty Coffin,' and possibly 'The Morning After' as complete songs.

I do ALL my work, sequencin/mixing/mastering in-the-box-in-the-box lol... Single software called Renoise. Great tool...

Yeah, 80s cruisin was meant to be a transition type beat, works well at that I think.

Dream Seq was one that felt great while workin on it, but afterwards Im beginnin to think the drums are too dominatin!?

Yooo, concernin the B.M. Business, it gotta be that heavily reverbed guitar that reminded you of L&O right? Gotta be lol!

Young Love I actually thought of adding another layer, but everything else was done with, and instead of waitin for the right solution for that joint, I jus threw it outthere with the rest...

Bout the monotonous test, lots and lots of my beats wont pass that, since I move soo fast on to the next when making beats I rarely ever gets to do switch ups, bridges, stuff like that done... A shame really. I myself, am a one-loop typa guy tho - if the main loop bangin and diverse enuff chordswise I aint really care bout the rest...

And eerie is THE word for Empty Coffin lol... Also, I agree on Run Faster, it has the space for an emcee to move around!

Really preciate the in depth feedback!

----------------------------------

NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!

>Dream Seq was one that felt great while workin on it, but

No I think the drums are good. But of course that depends on if you mixed and mastered it as an instrumental or with vocals. If you add more elements it would probably have to change somewhat. I still think Dwele should be on this.


>Yooo, concernin the B.M. Business, it gotta be that heavily

Yeah that was it. The last hit especially. Lol

Yeah I hear you on that. I have a bunch of very rough beats that I just started and then abandoned. I do have an idea to go back and remix some of them, and I have done it before. Usually if I record vocals for a track it will automatically get a makeover with new drums and everything. Otherwise I don't have much motivation to mess with them.

I always force myself to do bridges, transitions and change-ups almost every time I make a beat, because I know that if I end up wanting to use it for a song, then it'll help to have them already and then I'll just rearrange a little. Sometimes that stuff has to be created in the beginning (like chops). I really lose my inspiration to rechop stuff after the original session.
>


>Really preciate the in depth feedback!

Yeah, I'm really stoked that I was able to participate this go-round. I don't often get a chance to talk shop.

start forcin myself to do those (the change ups) whilst still in-the-moment too -

Oftentimes when Im in the process of makin beats, I focus waaay too much on the smallest of details, forgettin the bigger picture...

Also, work on my patience.

Sucks.

----------------------------------

NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!

Yeah I wouldn't stress it though. Just a couple pauses here and there, and a bridge for good measure. Should just take a few min. And, you don't have to use it. You can always cut it if doesn't cut it. Pun intended?

My beats are always sooo pieced together -

diff. pitches allova the place, new melody etc. etc.

- makes it EXTREMELY difficult (in terms on hrs. spent) to create a proper bridge w. chord changes and all, cause of the chaotic buildin scheme!

----------------------------------

NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!

1. Drums on point. Bass lovely....and I hear that crackle ninja! lol

2. The clap is crispy and the distorted part gave the beat a nice lil oomph.

3. Is a ole pretty beat. The piano freak was lovely...bass on point and once the drums drop its like DAMB, son! This my favorite so far.

4. that good riddim.....dope ass dancehall sounding joint.

5. I dig the swing of this one. very simple yet effective. You let the drums breathe here.

6. Dig the drum stutter...and that outro beat at 3:30....my goodness! I'm digging that outro! Or maybe that was another beat? Dope as shit whatever that case.

7. Always on point with the drums.

8. Another pretty beat. Basic and effective. Perfect for an emcee. love the airyness, drums, bass. ayething.

9. the last beat......perfect close out.

MANNNNN....you did 10 effing beats to this one sample????? lol

How in the hell!

I wish I had you work ethic fam!

Fragments/Remnants.
must be somethin on our minds or we must just be in reflective moods or sumshit lol.

ok, so an entire fucking SOUNDTRACK.
im down.
but i couldnt tell wen shit started so im just goin off wat i hear wen i hear it:

01. i hear straight boom bap.
02. i hear straight early SVilla/Dilla (the one with the claps).
03. FOREIGN EXCHANGE. hit em up. think you'd be a good addition to the +FE fam. similar kinda aesthetics exhibited here that i used to hear in early Nicolay joints.
04. joint @ 2:31 is SERIOUS. thats one of the ones i hope u felt u woulda forwarded to an emcee.
05. @ 4:12, again, emcee-worthy. has mad potential. could stand to hear a full joint outta that one.

btw, excellent segues from one track to another. really FEELS like a cohesive project n u can tell the thought that went into that. and brilliant work with the sample choices as i could hardly tell if you had sampled the joint at all.

great work bud.

NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!

I'm back! I've been meaning to do one of these sample flips with y'all. I've even downloaded a few of the tracks, but never actually got around to making a beat. Been too busy with life and when I have been doing music I've mostly been working on my album. But, the family is out of town this week, so I've had the house to myself, so I've been making music all day every day.

https://soundcloud.com/herb-one/tuff-enuff

I made this beat in two sessions. The first session, I just chopped everything (I went through the whole track and took parts that I liked, dragged them together and started arranging in Cubase) and then I added drums. (three breakbeats, a kick drum, four snares and two hi-hats). And then the second session, I tweaked/cleaned-up and mixed everything, added a bassline and the extra samples. I also added two claps to the third section (one is an 808). I chopped it into three parts. Started off short and just decided to keep it that way. I always try to do something different about these and one problem is I always make my tracks way too long.

Section one chops are just regular chops, with some 'aaahs' on top, so I kept the drums sounding hectic. Section two has three samples, two of which are reversed vocals. (I like to reverse vocals and then try to find parts that sound like they're saying something, or close to something). Section three comes from the breakdown at 5:00 with the guitar. And then I just added the vocal samples and some hits from other parts of the track on top of it.

I did the bassline in Reason. Then I rearranged the notes a bit in Cubase for some of the parts. I layered a duplicate of the bassline with some the low end taken out with EQ and added some dirtiness with some amplifier distortion (VST Amp Rack), because it was hard to hear the bassline at lower volumes (i.e. without the bass hitting).

Then I added some vocals from Ghost, Mos and Common a capella tracks. As well as some sound effects (Telephone Dialing Pulse, Man and Woman Giggling, Laughing Trumpet and Cartoon Spaceship Liftoff).

Definitely had fun with this. I look forward to next months sample. Thanks Torch for doing these, and for everybody who's been contributing and keeping this alive.

...are what REALLY stands out bout this to me, very live, very dynamic, all over the place but still right in the pocket!!!

Good work layering these, I wouldve thought you lifted em completely offa somethin else to make it sound so "played"...

Also, thanks for the thoro guide -
Its always fun for me to compare techniques, learn a bit about other ways to accomplish what Im tryin to...

Sounds like quite a bit of work choppin in Cubase, exportin, addin bass in Reason, exportin and back to Cubase, etc....

Do you have them runnin together with Reason as a plug in (is that possible)?

Oh, and the lil vox chops here and there def. dope spice - nice panning too!!!

Goodness...

Thanks man. I really shifted from being more sample orientated to more drums orientated when I started using Cubase with no hardware. I really need to learn Reason more. I do all of my chopping in Cubase itself so it's really limiting. i.e. I'm not playing the samples, just arranging then playing back. I think you can link Cubase and Reason but I've never done it.

It's not that hard to do the bassline with my work around though. I just play a short loop of my track in Cubase and then hit play in Reason (so both programs are playing at the same time together) and arrange the bassline in Reason, checking out different sounds and notes. Then I finish editing in Reason and then export it, import it into Cubase, copy the pattern to fill out the song, rearrange if necessary, and then EQ and add effects if needed.

I really need to learn how to import samples into Reason so I can play them on the Axiom pads. Or Cubase for that matter.

One thing that I appreciate about your tracks for this month is that you could never tell what the sample source was for any of them.

i'm not sure if that solves your issue on being able to play them with pads though (i use a keyboard midi controller).

i need to take the time to learn how to manipulate samples in the NNXT. it seemed tedious when i was trying to learn, so i wound up just winging it with Redrum.
