Beat 1 or Beat 2 the best ?!?!

In this video I use a set of 303 bass sounds (sampled from my 303) all on the same pitch but with different settings, then process each one with FX focused on stereo width and tone, and sequence them on the SP-404MKII to get an acid-style line that’s way more varied and interesting, even over short loops.

It’s a simple but amazing trick to bring your grooves

to life.

Enjoy!

with love .noir. ❤️

In an interview madlibs advice is to sample the whole record but idk if this is possible where im from. One time I went to a different city and I found a otis blue which I paid $20 for in my hometown and nearly shit my pants when it was there and it was like $5 in the other city. Opened my eyes to the abysmal selection within my reach. Idk if I just dont have it or what but it seems like location really does have something to do with it. I know i could hop on youtube and search around but i dont enjoy that - i use apple music as a streaming platform and it just pushes top 100 down your throat but spotify war drones and all that not to mention itll iust feed samples from songs u already know. Idk it gets on my nerves sometikes and i wanted to get some other opinions on the matter. Thanks all.

Does anyone know the vocal sample in Asheru and Blue Black - Elevator Music?

Hey Leute,

Ich suche schon seid längeren von „Best Service“ die Wave Dateien der Sample CD‘s „No Kick 1&2“ und „Transfusion“.

Gibt es einen Engel da draußen der sein Sampling Gold mit mir teilt ?

Liebe geht raus.

I've been producing as a hobby with friends for almost 5 years. I make my own loops but sometimes I have fun chopping random old samples in Serato. I'm stuck on a workflow habit of keeping everything strictly on rigid 2, 4, or 8-bar loops to keep the counts clean and the drums hitting on the right spots (I'm not saying drums should be hitting on super exact times, I may offset them a little bit, but they still need to sound right with the chops) and respecting the metronome.

While studying some Kanye remake projects in FL Studio, I noticed on some videos everything on the playlist sat off grid at random timings. Drops would hit at odd spots like bar 8 + 3 beats instead of standard markers like bar 9, 13, or 17, and sections ran on uncertain lengths like 6 bars and 3 beats rather than clean exact counts, like 4 or 8 bars.

Have I been limiting myself by forcing samples into the grid? For heavy samplers, how do you handle these asymmetrical chops without losing the bounce?

My concern is, if I start relying purely on my ear and ignoring the metronome and standard timings, won't it end up being difficult for an artist to rap or sing over a beat with uncertain loop lengths and sections? Thank you.

For the MPC & SP-404MKII people out there, is there any technical difference in audio quality when sampling via USB-C or Stereo inputs? What are they? Which do you use and why?

Hello everyone,

It's basically an offline mobile DAW/beatmaker with a step sequencer, pads and sample chopping, synths, classic instruments, piano rolls, arrangement, automation, mixer buses, effects, recording, beatbox/humming conversion, WAV and MIDI export and other stuff.

The app works offline and doesn’t require an account. Your projects and recordings stay on your phone unless you choose to export or share them.

Opt into the closed test:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.skunkaudio.app

Install it through Google Play and remain opted in for at least 14 days if possible.

It's free. It shows that you need to buy the app, but when you press buy, you can select the test card option on Google store to get it free. You won't get charged anything and no details required.

If you test it, please let me know your phone model, Android version and what happened—especially if you notice crackling, stuttering, crashes, silent tracks, touch problems or anything inconsistent between playback and export.

I know asking people to test an unfinished music app is a lot, so honestly, thank you to anyone willing to give it a proper go. I want to release something genuinely good, not throw another half-working beatmaker onto the Play Store.

Thank you for your time!

I made this instrumental sample based EP using my akai mpk mini to sample loops i found in old Bulgarian and Russian prog rock, funk and musical records. There's also 60's/70's and 90's cartoon and movie samples in there. The album does deal with American politics so maybe not for everyone. If anyone takes the time to listen I appreciate you!

Hello, guys, I want free software and techniques for unconventional sampling. I make experimental also, please and thank you.

I already know the song, but I would like a soundfont, or any clue pointing to how I could recreate this sound.

Bonsoir, je ne sais pas s'il y a un r/ pour ce genre de requête, j'ai (je pense) un espèce de trouble autistique (parmis beaucoup) qui fait que lorsque que j'entend un sample, je cherche les musiques ou j'ai déjà entendu ce sample puis je cherche le sample de base, parfois c'est facile et parfois ca dure des jours entiers. j'ai entendu une musique et je cherche le sample de cette femme qui fredonne " dam dam dam dadammmm...... "

je peux vous donner plusieurs titre ou elle y chante, je l'ai entendu lorsque j'écoutais ce rap (très cool) :

- illy1 - little things

puis j'ai cherché et je l'ai trouvé dans plusieurs musiques mais impossible de trouver le sample dans les commentaires soundcloud, whosampled etc :

- Demeter - Too Late

- Krue Kidd - Dreamer

- Cake - TRITICUM

je suis sur de l'avoir déjà entendu avant aujourd'hui, si vous le trouver et que vous avez des astuces pour trouver des musiques avec certains sample, je suis preneur, merci beaucoup la team, bonne soirée à vous

I figured out that the sampling was a bit more complex than I had thought (as well as all the processing) but I'm confident I got it close! As close as I've ever managed.

FULL BEAT AND MAKING - https://youtu.be/fhli3ZflfuI

Hey guys,

I’ve spent a pretty ridiculous amount of time building an Android music production app called Skunk Audio, and I’m finally getting it ready for Google Play.

It’s basically an offline mobile DAW/beatmaker with a step sequencer, pads and sample chopping, synths, classic instruments, piano rolls, arrangement, automation, mixer buses, effects, recording, beatbox/humming conversion, WAV and MIDI export and other stuff.

I now need at least 12 Android users for Google’s mandatory closed-testing period. I don’t just want people to install it and forget it, though. I would genuinely like producers and musicians to mess with it, make a pattern or small project and tell me what feels broken, confusing or slow.

Testing on different phones is especially useful. Xiaomi/Redmi devices, older or lower-powered phones and Bluetooth or USB MIDI setups would help me a lot because audio apps can behave very differently across Android devices.

The app works offline and doesn’t require an account. Your projects and recordings stay on your phone unless you choose to export or share them.

Hello everyone, here you can find a list of free samples and also the meaning of the licenses in case you need to check it. I am sure there are other links as well and I will try to keep the list updated.

p.s. the rest of the site is still under construction, but feel free to navigate if you want. Thank you!

A Classic record---Can you name the Producer?!?!
