The Beatmaking stuff

+More about this Tumblr.

Here's how it goes:

  1. Dig
  2. Sample
  3. Chop
  4. Beat
  • dig in crates full of old vinyls
  • the sounds you like, feel and know that will rock
  • slice the sounds, chop the sounds, rearrenge the sounds
  • add kicks, snares, hi hats, bass, synths, trumpets,...

All of the above shown as text, pictures and videos.
This tumbleblog shows and explains the culture, art and science of beatmaking

“ Why do we want to chop a break? Well, normally it’s because we wish to use the drum sounds within the break and generally keep the same atmosphere and production associated with the break, but we need the break to either ‘fit’ into an existing sequence or we would like to change the groove or note order of the break. We may also wish to perform special tricks to the break or we may simply wish to extract a particular drum sound from the break to use in one of our own beats.
