about

I'm happy to present "Sam-pling," the first set of beats I feel are worthy of sharing since buying my first sampler a year ago.This is a short beat tape completely made out of samples I have dug up from the far corners of the internet. I was going for a real grimy, lo-fi sound and I really think I achieved that, the finished product being this dusty tape. This collection of beats was made entirely on the Roland SP-404SX then recorded into Ableton in order to turn them into WAV files. Everything was done on the SP. Everything. This means that once a beat is built, volume levels of different components cannot be changed, effects already layered cannot be changed, every decision is permanent because you have effectively mixed down each element into one track every time you add something. This forces one to be decisive and to take risks in how you edit your sounds, but it also leads to some learning experiences and the unique sound the SP series is known for. It isn't perfect, I know I made some timing errors and things might sound "off" for a split second here and there, but that's the price you pay when you're new to making beats on a hardware sampler.I tried to put my own style into this tape while also paying homage to the producers I draw inspiration from. Thanks for listening. -Uncle Sam
