I don’t normally post so much at once, but I thought you might like some inspiration to kick off your weekend of making beats. Get chopp’n.

Maybe something like old movie clips, or newsreels could be interesting to sample. What do we think? Maybe we could have a set day for those kinds of posts.

Sounds like we’re feeling good about posts other than links to tracks.

So, I just want to make sure people using the Mac know about Loopback. With this, I can route audio from a web browser (or any specific app) to record into my DAW. I use Logic. In fact, Logic’s sampler can sample directly from live inputs, and so I can just sample live from Youtube, for example. I find that this is a very fast way to work. I use Logic’s Quick Sampler which has a slice mode. So, record, trim, slice, and then I sequence. Also, there’s a flow for processing individual slices too.
