Tentatively titled "Funk Jam # 4" but will eventually become " Want U " Name that sample


Just added 'Revolution'. Just a working version for now but I will definitely come back to it. Any suggestions are welcome.

Sounds like a D'Angelo sample 2 me

I'm continually impressed by Psyko's music. I don't know why.

Two things - the sound quality is lower than what I'd REALLY want to hear - it's mono and is it at a low-bitrate or something? The sound quality just sounds like cassette to computer translation - I forget - what kind of studio do you have?

Even with the limited studio sound, the music is always something interesting and JAMMING.

Thanks, Otan.

Everything I record is analog. I manually record the 4 track to compact disc and do MP3, WAV from there. I think the sound quality is as a result of the vocal percussion (which is barely audible). I use a cheap microphone and by the time I overdubbed X many times and placed music on top along with that D'Angelo vocal sample it made the song sound like it was recorded in the bathroom.

So at this point I think I'm ready for digital recording.

Have soundclick always done that M3U mp3 streaming business? I can't remember...maybe they nicked Cloud9's idea! Anyway, this is all cool for my modem!

Cool track! I love the bass, and the subtleties of some of the sounds...definitely suits the style of sample. Can't remember what D'Angelo track it is from though...off of Voodoo?

Thanks! The sample is from Be Here by Raphael Saadiq w/ D'Angelo.

What do you use to run the trax from your 4-track to the computer? I USED to use a 1/8 inch cable, and then wised up and got me the RCA cable (red and black plugs) and a converter, so you can run it out of the RCA outs of your 4-track instead of out from your headphones jack. The sound was DRASTICALLY better.

I NEVER knew that plugging in a damn cable would be so frickin involved.

Oh- btw - I'd tell you to NOT go digital. Your sound is great, and a digital recorder REALLY changes the way to approach a song, (in my opinion). I'm thinking about going back to analog for a few songs, just to see if I'm tripping.

Usually not a fan of sampling but this is great.

I'm not sure what Otans referring to about your sound but the mix sounds pretty good to me. Maybe overall a little "muffled" but the lows sound great.

I run RCAs from the 4-track to the CD burner (unit), then take the cd and upload everything to my computer. Isn't that AAD recording?

Thanks Slave. But that "muffled" sound bothers too. I tried to even it out the best I could.

No - It's Analog - Digital - Digital - ADD Recording.

Also, ADD recording is when you start to record a song about one thing, and then get distracted and go online to read about something else, and then write lyrics about a third thing, and then you play violins on the song because you remember a movie from 3rd grade with violins, they're cool.

What was the question?

I checked out your newest stuff, and I like it! I really like the song that you titled "Royal S**t", but I don't think that it's s**t at all, I am very fond of that song! I like your newest funk jams on there also.

Peace,
JD
