DSF59 - Production Competition - BLUE COLLAR SPECIAL

[sleeps]

A very appropriate comp given @Dubstep_Warrior’s recent foray into father-in-law mandated physical labour

Hosted by @MARSEN I give you:

BLUE COLLAR SPECIAL
A selection of sounds produced only with objects found around a typical working class house.
No drum machines or synths here, just manly items one might use while replacing the deck or fixing the sink, etc.

BPM: 140-180
Genre: Manly
Samples: HERE
Deadline: Sunday 10th September

You all know the rules - only use the samples in the pack and any vst in your arsenal to manipulate them as you wish. No synths or drum machines are allowed.

So I’m hearing a variety of light clicking sounds, someone playing with a metal bowl, and a short loop of a harmonica.

This is going to be rough

[sleeps]

Pitch the metal bowl down and trim it hard and you got your kick/low Tom.

Tons of percussion options.

Ad a huge reverb tail to some harmonica and chop it out and use it as a pad in a sampler.

Just make it MANLY

[lloydnoise]

are we allowed to have masons gf’s dad come round to help us?

[MARSEN]

[Tolsof]

Been feeling very uncreative lately and generally shit about everything I’m making but I’ll give it a go

[sleeps]

At loeast you’re making stuff. Have not touched my daw since the last comp.

@lloydnoise

are we allowed to have masons gf’s dad come round to help us?

[sleeps]

Sweaty muscley men in tight tshirts.
