Hello all!
This is Ty coming at you from the RVA Lab with my week 1 Beat Battle Entry.
I used sounds from both of the songs to make this beat. Every sound in this beat came from these songs and I sampled no loops. This is how I did it and what I used.
First I made a drumkit from the JB record (of course), by totally chopping it up at every threshhold of the wav. Then I layered them and organized them into a drumkit. I also got the classic heeeeey and I turned JB's classic scream into a siren type sound.
Second I chopped up the second song where I got bass sounds, vocals, and strings and arranged them into a kit as well in the mpc.
Then I sequenced each sound in the MPC onto seperate tracks (14 tracks)
Last I imported the seperate tracks into Ableton, did an arrangement, and a quick rough mix with UAD and Slate plugins.
For visuals I animated some pics of JB and added my logo. Nothing too fancy.
So this is my beat below. A lil mellow and jazzy with a little edge to it. I'm probably going to post a seperate video of me making it once I get time to edit so Youtube wont flag it.
Thanks for your time,
Ty
