Bandcamp News – New EP Release; Sampler – EP 1

I decided to get the tape deck out and boy was it a headache but I managed to scrap up something from it and make a House and UK Funky EP with it. I sampled four songs from The Temptations Just My Imagination, Lil ‘ Kim Back Stabbers, Mary J Blige’s Changes I’ve Been Going Through and Chaka Khan Miss The Water which I recorded onto a tape deck and cleaned them up which was the worse bit and used RX10by Iztope to clean up the samples. It took four days after three attempts and I’m happy with this one but there are parts that were hard to clean like the tape slide and the warping sound which doesn’t sound too bad with the pitched effect on it. I might have to invest in some more tools to clean up the samples and get a good tape deck that doesn’t over slide or warp when playing it back as it sounds a headache in the mix and hard to clean up with just filter EQs alone but I will get better and research the products I need to do the job properly. Since I can’t clear the samples it’s a free download on Bandcamp and I will try and do some more acapella-based sampling with the tape deck in the future which will be all free and on Bandcamp the place where all my free downloads are based on. I wanted to improve the songs I make and I think I improved it on this EP which I hope to make more like this in the future but it’s hard when I’m making songs day after day with no breaks it kind of takes the fun and feels to the songs kind of like being over saturated. I will add the original songs to the inspirational section on this site in the music section of the main menu on this site for those who haven’t heard it or want to catch up.
