Also I sort of wish I had that like, auto-scratch plugin (I forget what it's actually called) in FL. But alas.
Also also, what's that sample?
1. Yeah, I should be able to track them out fairly soon.
2. My DAW, Audiotool, actually has that built into the resampling instrument they developed. It's called the Rasselbock. I use it in pretty much every song I make nowadays because the effects are almost always pretty epic.
3. There are two: one is some spoken word that someone put up on Audiotool that I dug up, and the other is "Anybody Can Do That (Skit)" by Greg Street and Young Dro, from their 'Dro Street' mixtape.
I feel the need to just sort of announce the fact that a large part of the synths on that track are taken from the "Walk it Out" remix by DJ Unk and OutKast.
I like how Tre and I both made our own version of a Mojave-type song and ended up with completely different things.
But yeah, catching up on the last few weeks of stuff. I like No Love, and Mojave's hand should slip more often. Congrats to Tre to making an actual album. I like Nostalgia
Now that I've finally conquered my 4-month-long writing block, I think I'll try out Audiotools.
I realised recently that a song that I initially wrote as a kind of tribute to Khanate's more dub-inflected moments is slowly accumulating quirked-out atmospheric hip-hop elements.
So it's like Mojave doing a track in a genre that he would never do a track in.
You should remix this and sample Have A Nice Life's "The Future" (with which it shares a somewhat surprising amount of features while being incredibly different).
contains no original music whatsoever and was made in Audacity, something I have not done for a few years now. Hence the in-joke that is the feature credit.
Mostly I am just posting it to announce that the album is nearing completion, meaning I will finally have some new material out soon, and also because I have a penchant for oversharing.
currently, the tracklist is as follows, but is subject to some editing (there are a few tracks I'm on the fence about, and some rearranging to be done possibly)

I considered actually calling it "Nobody Else Can Pull This Sound Off" but that's a little too far down the rabbit hole for a joke even in a record as purposefully self-indulgent as tunes made in sands.
^ I stacked four different drum breaks and ran them through phase effects to get that beat. It's interesting how it blends with the really delayed drum machine loop in the background. Our drummer had a really cool way of playing those beats, imitating the delay and phase effects by varying the emphasis and doubling up cymbal taps.
I have discovered that using 41-tone equal temperament, I can produce some really cool leading tone effects in chord changes—which I intend to exploit to their fullest in a song that I am soon to record.
To explain this in layman's terms (sort of): If I have a progression that goes G6 G F, I can have the B in the G noticeably higher than in the G6 and still have a perfectly fine (if sonically quite different) major chord that also flows smoothly into the F in a rising sequence. The B moves up the same distance twice, yet harmonically only moves a half-step to C a perfect fourth above. It's clearer and less rough and weird harmonically than a quarter-tone rise (see 24-EDO), yet does the same thing melodically. And there are so many good thirds! Wunderbar!
The climb is akin to the very close chromatic passing tones used in Gregorian chants, specifically those progressions derived from the permutation of the Greek enharmonic genus using the just intervals 5/4, 9/7 and 4/3—pure third, wide third, perfect fourth.

I'm finished constructing the chords and it sounds great insofar...
^^ Feels like a slo-mo breakcore track. Which is peculiar, but not an unpleasant effect. I'm going to use Audacity to hear what it sounds like at, say, twice that tempo...

nah man it's just me trying to hone my own take on a particular kind of deserty trap music.
a couple similar tracks I've done are both "Pipes" songs ("Of Astra-Khan" and the abbreviated remix "Of Arking-Arland") and "Wide Ocean Shot".
edit: "HEATSTROKE!!" also
I actually don't really like most breakcore, but it's cool if you hear it that way regardless.
You're free to do whatever you want with it of course.
also for reference all of the percussion for that track comes from me chopping up the beat to "Real Muthaphukkin' G's" by Eazy E, which is a really good song if you can tolerate the excessive profanity and homophobia.
I like this, I'm not huge on punk but this is cool, and your drum work is very nice. Reminds me of The Clash (one of the few punk bands I have any familiarity with at all).

It sounds vidyagamy. I like it.

In any case, that's from an old demonstration record called A Journey into Stereo Sound. It's a very famous sample.
Thanks.

It doesn't quite sound like "real" trap but I get the feeling that that is intentional.
