Freesound Forums

Hi all,
Wanted to share an experiment I made.

This is from a freesound sample request of a TV flipping channels that I recorded, but I didn't upload it here due to potential copyright issues.

I extracted a 2.2 second sample of a single channel being flipped through, of a woman talking in Spanish over some music. I then used Soundtrack Pro to slice the sample up and loop it into a short (~24 second) composition that I find pretty amusing.

The mp3 has the sample at the beginning, and then the composition.

This was pretty much my first attempt at anything like this, let me know if you what you think.

now you only need someone with a catchy phrase ("right about now, the funk soul brother, ..." and layer it on top, add some 303 for good measure.

that said, it's fun, but you need to sync up your loops better. If you tap along the tempo you'll see that the tempo changes when you start a new slice length.

the original is also not "perfectly looping":

as in: !.......!.......!.......!...... <- you're missing a piece here

Yes, you have a finely tuned ear for looping.
The thing is I was working in Soundtrack Pro 1.0 to learn the program and it absolutely sucks for something like this. Snapping barely works, I had to zoom in very very closely and try to tile my samples up.

This is before I knew about setting project tempo and the built-in loop features, which I still don't use.

But next time maybe I'll play around in either Soundtrack 2 or Protools.
