Had me head noddin and I didn't even realize it. That's a good beat. When the rhythm just seeps into your being and your body moves accordingly. Good work man.
Yo dope beat video. I never bombed no graffitti eventhough I like to see the art. I heard this ample flipped before twice you killed it in a different way man.
@JerkCough1 yeah i have 8 outs, but i don't use it because i don't have 8 inputs on my mbox so unfortunately i have to track out each sound one at a time via midi.
@xskullsnapzx 32mb ram (189 seconds of sampling time in stereo, 378 seconds in mono), 8 outs, floppy drive, scsi zip drive. and that's pretty much it. no effects board either.
@remysteel1 i use imovie 09 on my macbook. you can choose your own fonts from your font book. the time varies when manually chopping. depends on how many sounds i wanna use or how complex i want the chops to be. but i don't like to rush through my beats for the most part. i try to take time with them and perfect them. i'm tryin to drop a project sometime this year. me and profound are tryin' to work on an ep, and i wanna do a compilation with different emcees. i might start a bandcamp page too.
@dopemcee yo thanks fam. i'm mos def in it for the love of the culture. it ain't just a hobby for me, more like a way of life..lol. i USED to break my ass off back in the day, but i can't do shit now so i just play all the breaks so the b-boys can get down..HA! cats that are tryin' to get into it for the money got it backwards. you gotta know your roots. i'm a strong believer of "if you love what you do, the money will come". but damn, i've been doin' this shit for free for a hot minute..LOL
@PandemicTheorem nah no mic. just the built-in from the camera. i use the same bass for most of my beats. sampled a cheesy synth note from a yamaha djx keyboard and filtered it out.
I've noticed that everybody seems to ask you about your recording mic for your videos for some reason. It sounds good! But if you want to step it up a little you should look into the zoom h1, cheap, surround and shit (option) and it records in 24-bit. it's like 100 bucks :)
Either way, hater or not, they still take the time out of their day to peep the vid. Better than no views at all..btw, cool track Dave. I'm a fellow Graff artist as well
Damn this is so sick. I've got another question. If you're making chops. How do you know the length of the note? I'm sorry I'm in no way musical so I don't have any easy way to explain what i'm trying to ask haha.. Just trying to pick this up now. For instance you have all these tiny chops in this beat. How did you chop them knowing they would fit perfectly like this in the end?
love them chops man. Yo you ever try flippin this joint with the ARTIFACTS track "Art of Facts"? I seriously think it would sound dope if you mix it man. Just a thought. ONE!
great beat! what program did u use to make this video? the fonts are crazy! how long does it take to manually chop ur samples? Lastly, when are u coming out with a cd and where could we get it? Thx
great stuff...how are you cutting off each sample when u hit another pad? I have a problem getting the single polyphony settings right...is it precision sampling? pad mutes? awesome track love it.
@DiskoDaveBBB Lol you have all the ingredients, the bread will come. I look up to a cat like damu the fudgemunk who is doin it the right way like you, he got it together and now he can do what he loves and love what he does, full time. Plus it shows that hop hop can succeed and is well alive today. Fuckin dope ass graff too, graphics used to be my thing before i picked up the mpc now I rarely even pick up the pencil.
I see you be flipping that MP. Respect, would love to colab. I'm a MPC master myself. Started with the 60ii still got it but copped a 2500. I wish I would have snatched the 5000 but the 25 is dope too. Keep banging them pads.
this dude embodies the essence of what hip hop is... or rather and sadly what hip hop used to be....the graffitti.. the dope beats...THE CLASsIC SAMPLED beats..and stupid gritty breaks...the turntablism(i dont even know if thats a word) i bet this n*gga can break dance like a muffkka too.....man its sad how far hip hop has fallen..these are the cats that supposed to be millionaires or atleast doing something major in the bank..but instead we have to settle for soulja boy and waka flocka. so sad
yo aren't you using a mic when you talk? or is that straight from your video camera? if You are using a dedicated mic... which one is it? BTW WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR BASS SOUNDS MAN?
