Beepster Boogie (WHAT'S IN THE BOOOOX?!)

This is a complete left turn for me. I have never done dance type stuff before. It was the first thing I did after I installed Sonar X1 Production Suite while I was waiting for the rest of my gear to arrive. I just grabbed whatever loops sounded good in the X1 content and sliced and spliced away like a weirdo. I had absolutely no clue what I was doing back then and ended up moving on to other stuff but decided to finally finish mixing and mastering it before tearing down my studio. 

Bonus points to those who get the sub title reference. ;-p

    Thanks, Lynn. I actually was having a hard time getting it all to sound good using the grid snap so I turned it off if you can believe that. Not quite sure how I managed to get everything synced up properly. OCD I guess. Cheers.

    So this is BIB I presume - have heard several of this productions lately and they all sounds very good in sound and beat but I can imagane there are some things you have to learn to make a good production of it. I think you have succeded well Beepster. Needed no socks on this though. Rock on

    Sorry... was on the phone.

    @eko... Heh. Yup. No socks needed. All Sonar content. The funny part is a few weeks ago Karl (I think) posted a vid tut or something and he had used the same flute sample. I put this together in May. lol

    @Old55... Cheeers!!!

    @daryl... 60% of the time his flute riffs work every time.

    @bapu... I wrote it for our appearance on "Dancing With the Stars Bapu". Wear something revealing.

    What's in the box? sounded very familiar.  I didn't know what it was, but I found out what it is.

    Great mash up! This takes me back to my early days of making music with OctaMED on my Amiga, when all I had was an 8-bit sampling cartridge and a large collection of funk and jazz CD's. I'm pretty sure I had that exact flute riff sampled off of something. You can have tons of fun putting music together like this, makes me want to start doing it again. 

    Don't know if you've ever tried this Beepster, but a great technique when you're making this kind of music is to take a drum loop and split it up into 8 equal sized slices (making sure it's all matched to your project tempo etc). Then you can combine those 8 slices in any order you like to make completely new beats. You end up with some pretty funky rhythms you would never have come across otherwise. We used to make drum 'n' bass tracks like this in the early 90's.
