I heard a collection of samples and sounds from various sources to build a track from.
Battle 81’s Sample Challenge, as bizarre as it is. 4 tape tracks, just shy of 3 minutes long & several OP-1 Drum Patches ranging from well, drums…to chopped vinyl samples, as well as instrument recordings. magic. details and sounds below.
alternatively, find a Sample Challenge on social media that you want to use for your entry.
if you take this second opportunity, I challenge you to submit your entry both RIGHT HERE, but also in the sample challenge you want to explore. if you take the Social Media route, please post the challenge you intend to try, so others might hear about it as an option.
OP-1 Battle no. 81 Entry Rules:
feature samples from the Sample Challenge in your track, whichever source they come from. duh.
share Sample Challenge source, if from an alternative challenge
use your OP-1 for building your Submission, and Record to Tape / Album
DAW not allowed for tracking or recording purposes, but if you have a mastering workflow for Vibe. EQ, Limiters / Compression…
TE has sold dozens of these OP-1s. who knows what the real number is (besides some peeps at TE, of course). Make your own rules, but still play along.
OP-1 Battle no. 81 Enhancements:
using a supplemental sound source or effect is ok, but this is a Sample Challenge meaning that the sample is what should shine in your submission
multiple submissions encouraged, including from a range of sample challenges
got some real dope samples to share? start a sample challenge of your own and let us know how to get at it
if you win a social media based Sample challenge before this contest concludes, you will get an extra vote in the polling
go ahead and try.
I made this OP1 Album Side A showcasing the Samples
I found #smackpackvol11challenge from @skibeatz on Instagram.
I made both tracks that were required, but think I was like 2 hours past the deadline for entry posting them to Insta to be a contender. I didn’t notice the 8pm PST part of it being due by 5/14. guess they don’t give any wiggle room, like most battles do. not even a couple hours. lol.
sorry I didn’t post about the opportunity here soon enough. these tracks are not eligible for this battle either.
all good. and great work for getting it in on time.
I was gonna say let’s extend to end of day Sunday June 5 (HST).
although, if no one else needs it, or says anything by end of day tomorrow June 1st (also HST), I’ll go ahead and pit you fellas against each other in a voting face off.
