Variations - TheFrenZ

Thanks Robin, glad you like it.

Thanks, glad you like it. Those 350 samples was the easy part, grab them in Reapers media explorer and drop them on a track, select how to process, and done. Going over my previous projects gathering chops was far more work :)

Thank you Dan, glad you like it.

Hi Jared, thanks and glad you like it. It's all about "No Limits", Some of the steps are listed in the comment to KayOS2, but in general, I mostly start with a four on the floor kick then find sounds and try to create a melody or even a drop, then extend, extend, extend with sounds, melodies and effects. Keep in mind that 90% of the time I will not get what I started to create, so I gave up the goal and just create ;) But never stop trying, just like with my vocal attempts, I can't sing but that never stopped me trying ;) I can do a bit of spoken word but not rap, I'm far to slow ;) So never give up and just have fun creating music and when you can't do one thing at a moment, try something different, just keep having fun!

Thanks Juan Carlos, glad you like it. I have a big advantage, due to my age I do not have to prove myself to the music industry as I most likely being reduced to dust before getting famous, so I just create what I like and sometimes others like it too and that gives you some fulfilment ;) But I keep my feet firm on the ground, I'm a proud tinkerer :) As last word: This experience wouldn't be so much fun without Looperman and it's community members, so thank you all!

Thanks, glad you like it. I can not tell the hours, but I started the project on the 19th for the drum base, trying to get near to a drum from Cosmic Gate and took +/- half a hour, on the 20th I started to play with 1 of the mentioned samples and added some vox I didn't use in the end, that day I ended up with 260 of the lib samples about 1 hour, the 21st I continued and was able to send a preview to my reviewer, my nephew, took about 3 hours, 22nd I extended the track from 9 to 12 minutes, used all 350 samples and started to collect the snippets from other tracks all in an evening hour, the 23rd 3 sessions in morning, afternoon and evening total about 7 hours working on the snippets and mix, 24th nothing as I broke my finger just before noon and returned from hospital short before midnight ;), 25th just a quick look at the snippets and mix, 26nd an hour work on the snippets and mix before upload. Most likely I missed an hour here and there as I collected this info based on the backups :) so best guess +/- 20 hours.
The import of a collection of 100 samples into a track (samples stuck front to back) in REAPER: 10 seconds ;) And as usual, only mixing, no mastering.

Thanks Paul, that is how stupid ideas can turn out, so we must definitely keep experimenting. Happy partying :)

Thanks Glenn, I'm glad you enjoyed the listen.

Dank je wel Rita, probeer die strand party maar, is mij een beetje ver rijden ;) Maar inderdaad, dat zou goed passen, zal het zelf ook uitproberen :)
