Whats this?

"STILL" digs?

These TRITON kids get a synth pad and think their creative. Son i can do a two finger melody that will stick in your head quicker than you can load up your drums, sure it's more like your building it from the ground up, but lemee see you take ya two finger expertiese and stick em in a room fulla crates for three hours. see if it helps you then.

ain't nothing nicer than some dusty drums

I dig. Probably got about 700 records or so, although we dont have a single store selling vinyl in my town (population only 15000). Just try to get to know a lot of old people who are ready to give or sell their collection. I never loop though.

I've got 2 crates. some blues and 80's hiphop. i got a lot of kids records for some tight creative tracks once i aquire the skill. i bought 7 Star Wars 1979 records for like 8 bucks, once. I still have a lot of questions before I can actually make beat that is made up from 10%-80% record sample.


btw, Staples has ill plastic crates

ok, well, let me see some of you loopers build a whole multilayered/multi instrument arrangement, play every melody yourself (sorry-no interpolating) from the ground up, and actually do some mixing, you know, the things that SOMEONE ELSE DID to produce the material you sampled.........and then take some squeaky clean preset drums and dust them up yourself..... and make something besides bassline stabs froma sine wav while your at it...

honestly i dont even feel that way, because i love sampled beats... but some of yall need to understand that its just a personal preference, but it seems like certain samplers get offended at the thought of someone using keys....the "us vs them mentality" doesnt make any sense....

i got like 40 records arrive to day that i bought on ebay the other week, had a quick listen through them after work today but nothing strikes me as ultra dope straight off so i'll have to another dig through them some of them are unreleased label demos so they could be pretty kewl if i sample them !

Diggin' is in my blood like it is for most of you all on here. I look for just about anything. Lately, I'm into some junk from overseas. I've copped a lot of vinyl from my grandmother (RIP), she had MADD vinyl!!! I'll probably be 50 years old still getting all moldy and having allergy attacks from cratediggin'!! I should be buried with some vinyl! LOL!

Yo Carpe, I'm liking where your head is at homie!! The library is a great and affordable resource!! I never though about looking there for music! I'll have to do that.
