Right finally got some new stuff up....
you can check them here.... http://www.myspace.com/djmarlztah
"Set Me Free"
This one is a Dubby D&B track... sampling both Horace Andy's "Set Me Free" and King Tubby's version of the same track... "Set Me Dub"
I used several breaks in the track, but the two main ones were Blowfly's "Sesame St" and "Funky Mule" by Ike Turners Kings Of Rhythm.
The bass was based on the bassline from Horace Andys track... but played out on FL's 3xOsc (for the sub) and z3ta+ for the saw
Some of the instrumental elements of the track are straight samples, some were copied to new instruments and some were written around the existing stuff by me
"Killing Your Sound"
This is another track along the same lines... again sampling Horace Andy and King Tubby.... The samples come from a track called "A Better Version" Tubbys dub version of Horace Andys "Skylarking"
The main breaks in this one were... Baadermeinhof - Moral Issue, Bannbarra - Shack Up and Buddy Rich - Mercy Mercy Mercy
As before, the bass in this one was based on the bassline in the original, played on 3xOsc
The title comes from the accapella used in the track from Capleton's song of the same name
"Space Trooper 808"
This one is a sci-fi half steppy Hip-Hoppy track (sort of)
Its not structured the same as a normal Hip Hop track... for starters its 8 mins long, with a 2 min long beatless intro. The vocals only occuppy the beggining and end of the track, the middle is instrumental
Based around a preset from z3ta+ called "Space Troopers Theme", which is the very first sound you hear in the track... the other instruments in the track are 3xOsc, EVP73, Cakewalk's S.I. String Section, a French Horn and a Harp
The main beat (and bass) is an 808... made with manipulated samples from Gold Baby's Tape 808 sample pack.... the break that plays now and then is from Barry White's "Im gonna love you a little bit more baby", overdriven and processed a fair bit
The Vocoded vocal is MF Doom's "My Favourite Ladies", Vocoded with FL's Vocoder using a couple of Saw waves from 3xOsc as the carrier..... I spent a long time on the vocal... It was extremely hard getting the sounds I was after with making the words unrecognisable... In the end I split the signal into two, each with slighty different vocoder settings and heavy processed with everything from exciters to throat modeling plugins, I think I may have also mixed in a tiny amount of dry signal... high passed, just to get the transients
The dry Doom vocal plays at the end of the track
"Jupiter"
This ones a dub steppy affair
Bass as well as other elements were made in z3ta+, other VSTi's used were Sytrus, Magnus Choir, and Wasp
The guitar skanks were made using samples of a Fender Stratocastor, which i got free with CM magazine
Beats were from various sources, all processed independantly then bussed to single channel, compressed with FL's multiband compressor, warmed up a little with Antares Tube and then mangled with dblue's Glitch
"Dirty Hands parts 1 & 2"
Part 1 of this track is Dub, tbh im not sure what part 2 is, you can decide for yourself
This one is in 3/4 time... it started out as 4/4 and then i had the awful task of moving all the notes and beats manually when i changed the timing
The beats were all made from dry acoustic drums, which i treated to plenty of delay and reverb
Theres virtualy no synths in this one, well there is but other than the sub made with 3xOsc, everything else is either a sampled instrument, or an emulation of one.... some of the instruments... Fender Squire Bullet, Fender Stratocastor, Gibson Les Paul, Piano, Melodica, Trumpet, Rhodes Piano (EVP73), B3 Organ (B4), String Section, Harp, Bass Guitar, Flute and a Nyabinghy Drum
