STBB# 782 - Dillicious Magic

Dilla month already over, but recently got into the soulquarian stuff again and thought it might be nice to flip one of many JayDee Samples.

You have a different pair of ears, different speakers, different taste.
That´s what keeps me going and constantly improving my sampling, beatmaking and mixing.
Just tell me what you think that i can improve.

[naturelleboombap]

- Sample 2 is free to use but must not.

So this cannot be the main sample?

100% agree with encouraging more constructive criticism .. I could definitely use some , especially with mixes/mastering (I've been re-listening to a lot of my entries noticing over time they've often been too loud and thus more harsh/distorted in the upper mids)

When Wig mentioned his own desire to hear more constructive feedback last round it got me thinking about it so glad Naturelle is also on the same page

Obviously same goes for sound design, arrangement and groove/rhythmic subtleties.. These things can sometimes be hard to communicate but I'm always down to try to share my ideas.

I've got a bit of extra time this week.. like this comment if you want me to give detailed feedback on your track this week.

Peace and Love to all those who take the time to create,
DB

went through the sample and got 15 chops in simpler. programmed a four bar drum loop in session view. recorded 33 bars of live sample chops over the drum loop to an ableton clip. pitched the sample up +6. programmed three different bass loop clips to trigger live. went through the Santana song looking for a phrase to chop and found one. added a synth chord from ableton 'switched on dco' patch. recorded all clips to arrangement view while cycling through the three bass loop clips, doing live track mutes and doing live 404 style master effects with ableton effects. added vocal cut and fx hits. ableton 'drum buss grand' rack on the drums and 'master crisp saturation' rack on the master buss

Hello, fam I have a thing to say, constructive criticism is pointing out a problem and then going some helpful advice. So saying your kick is not punchy enough is not constructive unless you explain how you create punchy drums. Peace and love fam

[The Wig Master]

I'm ok with people just pointing out what I could fix and figuring out how to do it myself. but I'll always share all my tricks if someone asks

[resubmann3rs]

Used the sax from the Ray-Sample in the middle-part

[Swoop-Man]

Used Sample #1 finding a nice call and response to set the tone. Added Sample 2 into the song as a subtle compliment lowering the volume to a near perceptible level. Recorded a vocal phrase on my phone and imported it into the second half of the song. composed the bass to have a subtle relationship to the overall track. The rest is history.

[MOXATRON]

Yo.
What's good peps?

I chopped up the horns from the sample in the usual way. Pitched it up +5.
Bit of EQ to shape the sample sound...
I used a filter to give the samples I used a bit more movement.
Just added outside drums. Two 4 bar loops, one of which I made into a 3 bar loop and then made into a 12 bar loop.
Bass from the sample / Low end filtered and amped up.
88Bpm? Can't remember now....





Peace Mox.

Gotta cook some food for my ducklings. I might check in later to drop a few lines on how I went about the process.

Here's my sub:

I'll go ahead and give myself some constructive criticism. the ride is too loud and had too much resonance. use a different snare. the whole song should be in a different key. it has too much of a dark vibe.
