    So I'm trying out ChatGPT

    This is insanity. I asked it a few questions and it was pretty good. Then I asked it to make a beat and it can't but at least it told me what I need to do. So for those that want to get into beatmaking, this is what it told me: ===================== Me: Make a beat. GPT: I'm sorry, but I am...

    Vocal drops for beat tape?

    Yeah it's usually my go-to when looking for snippets. Even just the sounds too, there's tons of them.

    The reality of takes and comping

    It's interesting you guys say that. My friend in the 90s was really good at freestyling but when it came time to record him over a beat he was completely lost. It was so odd. No flow, couldn't keep tempo, etc.

    The reality of takes and comping

    LOL yeah it IS terrifying. I think comping is okay though for sure, especially that we have DAWs that make it super easy but doing it that much and micromanaging each syllable is extreme.

    The reality of takes and comping

    See the thing is, it's so common because of the technology. I don't think we'd hear about comping at this level if everything was recorded to tape. Just because we can record vocals 100 times to get the right sound of a word, doesn't mean we should. This is why we never hear about punching in/out.

    The reality of takes and comping

    That's fucking ridiculous. 87. I remember years ago the story about engineers getting Beyonce to sing over and over and then chopping the hell out of everything, even down to the 's' of a word, all to get the best vocal track. It used to be about punching in and out to fix parts but now...

    Vocal drops for beat tape?

    That sounds incredibly tedious and much more time consuming than just sampling from the playlist I just posted.

    Vocal drops for beat tape?

    Here's a playlist of scratch breaks that have tons of little vocal snippets. I'm sure you'll find something.

    I guess it's time to officially introduce myself...

    Welcome to the ILL! If you ever send in beats for Attack of the Beats I'll probably butcher your name regardless. At this point it's a rite of passage.
