some beat from the other night

used a sample that came from a cowboy bebop thing, added (what i think was a) cool reverse reverb effect and tried to do a somewhat minimal amount with the drums.  i know it's easy to get carried away with your drum sounds and to always want them to be "bangin'" so on this one i tried to make the drums a little more on the understated side.

testing out Alchemy Plug-in beat "garbage plate"

this is a beat i made using a demo version of a plug-in called "alchemy" made by camel audio: http://www.camelaudio.com/Alchemy.php ... it's a synth module.  i used it for the bass sound in this beat.  the beat's really more of a sketch to test out what it's like to use plug-ins for ableton live.

this past sunday i had a fantasy basketball draft. i did it online with my homies up in the ROC (rochester ny.)  if you've never been to the ROC you gotta go if for nothing else for the garbage plates.  i made one for the occasion sunday night.  the key is the "hot sauce" which is really like a chili sauce that smothers two cheeseburgers, mac salad and crinkle fries.  i made mine with a pound of ground beef, a whole bottle of taco bell sauce, a dash of worcestershire sauce, a bit of sriracha, a lot of cumin, cayenne and chili powder and about an hour of simmering on the stove top.

these plates actually came out pretty good.
maybe we'll open up a garbage plate shop.. though "garbage plate" is trademarked by nick tahou's so i would prob call it a "gangsta plate"
