Sample Pack contest 37 - roll call...

[Jaan]

Could I cut out a fraction of a sound and use it in a sampler to use as synth or w/e?

[ehbes]

Yes

[Jaan]

Then count me in

[alphacat]

Even tho these days the only time I manage to find to make tunes is when I'm taking 20 minute shits... I'm in.

Maybe I'll even crank out the whole tune in one of those 20 minute shit-timespans.

Time limits? We using the last iteration of the rules format or... ? (And if one of you asks about granular synthesis again I swear to fuck I'll... I'll... Oh, fuck it. )

[JockMCPlop]

hey alphacat be careful not accidentally let a recording of you shitting get into the song, cos that breaks the rules you know.

[alphacat]

SHHHHHHHHHHH! Dude, that's my sonic secret sauce! You've ruined me! Now everybody else is gonna be submitting dungstep tracks too...


====================
Heh. Dungstep.

[Electric_Head]

Just don't use any form of generated tone unless it is from the selected samples.

[wub]

Considering how many times this has been run, we still get the same questions over and over and over.

[Figment]

Yeah... Which is why I mentioned the granular synthesis. Everybody thinks they're the first person to be clever about hypotheticals.

Can we get a repost here of the standing rules or are you waiting for the contest to start proper?

[idontreallygiveashit]

So can I go ahead and ask..

Can I use a granular synthesizer on the samples to achieve new sounds?

[Crimsonghost]

I cant promise much, and im sure my track will be shit, but im in this!

Not a bad idea;

so is granular synthesis off the table or not? can i not use hourglass or alchemy?

Although the above about granular [re]synthesis made perfect sense when I wrote it, it dawned on me that most all of the basslines we're gonna come up with from that 808 waveform will be - essentially - used in a granular fashion, even if it's fairly limited in implementation for most of us (restricted to a pretty narrow frequency domain more or less.)

And there are no rules against using, say, Alchemy if you own it - which does bigtime granular hoohaa out the ass.

can i not make the samples into pads and shit?

Yes

"CREATE A TRACK WITH ONLY THE SAMPLES PROVIDED"

i think that part of the rules should be extended to say:
use of granulization/wavecycle processing & VST effects are allowed as long as no other audio source is added
..or something similar.
