Man, oh man... I think this one actually sounds like a song (when compared to my other junk, of course).

This time, I left "Shake your rump" alone. Today's victim is "Triple Trouble." Sure, there's like a million mixes of that one, but hey, it was the only acapella I had handy today.

The majority of the song consists of a single loop taken from Men At Work's "Down Under." Hence the mood is somewhat tropical and island-ish. In addition, random voice clips emerge in the song to totally spoil the mood:

First, the Clash give their opinion regarding my tunes, then irrelevant voices from a popular video game further disorient the listener.

Surprisingly, I kept the samples to a minimum :eek: . Here's what made it:

Down Under- Men At Work (Main Loop)
Van Halen- Top Jimmy
Black Sabbath- Paranoid
The Kinks- All Day and All of the Night
Rolling Stones- Undercover of the night
Led Zeppelin- L.A. Drone
Van Halen- You Really Got Me
The Clash- Capital Radio One
Beastie Boys- The New Style
Led Zeppelin- Achilles' Last Stand
Led Zeppelin- Out on the tiles

The radio interruption and cowboy fella' are both from the uber-violent "GTA: Vice City." Don't worry, kids, there's nothing foul here. Except, of course, for my overall "production" skills :rolleyes:

If you were disgustingly dissapointed by my first pieces of junk, or if you've been frightened from downloading my sorry work, then I reccomend you listen to today's feature. Hopefully you'll notice how certain things can (gradually) improve. That, or you can get it and laugh at me, like the heinous crows that you are.

And now, without further ado, here's today's masterpiece:

I really like the samples you chose to use in this one, I could see the direction you were trying to go. The only problem is that it is all off. I don't know what software you're using to mix this, but if you can't set the BPM, you will run into problems. If you need a loop based software thats free then download acidexpress (http://www.acidplanet.com) . You have potential, but need to put it together correct. Save our ears, they're defenseless.

Okay, I'm starting to realized that maybe I do need to look into that BPM cookyness ;)

Now, I may not have the best ears, but even I can tell the general off-ness of my items. So I'll have to give that software a chance, if only to make something that I can listen to without cringing.

Seeing as how the public demands the proper software/methods, I'll sit through the loooong download.

Then maybe I'll trully created something diggable. I do, after all, have "potential" :D .

After that finished downloading and before you start pasting loops, first set the BPM and all them can be found here (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=21925) . From then on you'll be all by yourself, whatever you create now should sound a 100 times more better then your current work.
