Battle 39 - Sample's Instinct

OP-1 Battles
21
here is my entry.

i used a conversation with my daughter over breakfast in the morning for the language and the morning requirement. as well as my son who can't speak yet, the monkey!

i used some other kitchen sounds for acoustics, including a toaster and pouring a bowl of cereal.

i used a lot of drums.

Really dig your track, @kln

:slight_smile:

23

Yeah @kln ! The first submission, I hope there’s gonna be more :slight_smile:
Indeed, that’s an awesome track :slight_smile:
Great work mate

Here is mine, a lazy dub.

https://soundcloud.com/le-filou/dipstick-dub

Drums: drum break sampled, sliced into oneshots and pitched down + shaker (oatmeal in a glassjar overdubbed)

Bass: OP-1 Digital synth engine

Chords: Melodica played, sampled, sliced and pitched down in drum sampler

Vocals: Delboy from Only Fools and Horses as local language (pitched down as well to better match beat)

Solo synth: Electric toothbrush (as wake up noise) sampled in synth

@kln, really good stuff man. Very fine production and may I ask what mic you used? it sounds so clear.
Thanks

@lefilou


thanks!

i used the mic on my iPhone and recorded using the built in Voice Memos App.

then sampled into the OP via line in using a lead. a hint of Delay on the sample gives it that nice airy open clarity…plus the Master has some Spring on it, which also opens up the sound overall nicely.

on top of that, my daughter likes to talk directly at the phone, up close like she’s giving an interview. she’s 4, and has no volume knob.

Wow! A couple of really cool entries :) Congratulations @kln, always cutting edge stuff and the @lefilou dub is rocking in my head, fya!

My beat was made in two times: first programmed the drums learning how to use my new Volca Sample and sampled with the iPhone mic a metro stop in Porto/Portugal, then sampled (again with the iPhone, as the OP-1 mic is broken) my neighborhood sounds in the morning when came back to Brazil.

The intro was made with a (iPhone) sampled woodstock chime, then played in the synth mode.

[Edit]: both lead and the bass are digital synths,

Amazing tracks guys ! You made really good work !
@aeoner the metro stop sound is the lead ?

30

@quarantequatre Thanks! No, the lead is a Digital Synth patch (a factory one which I forgot the name, with - if I´m not mistaken - the LFO on the filter). The metro stop sound (indeed, it´s a 12 seconds texture) is the one which says “Carolina Michaelis”.

Merci mon bon. :slight_smile:
Glad you extended the deadline !

34

Hehe :slight_smile:

Just realized the deadline is today. Somebody else is working on a track for Battle 39 ?

35

Sorry, I won’t be able to finish my track : /

36

BTW… To avoid any strike, I have to credit my two children that told me this morning "we’re part of the making of this track !"

So cute…

:smiley:

37

Indeed they are :slight_smile:
Ok @mixrasta, hope next time

Or maybe I’m could add 1 more week :stuck_out_tongue:

38

The only thing I did so far was recording my coffee machine… :-/

39

Too much coding, not enough music making for me… I’ll try to join in on the next one
