Smiling Gangster [American Gangster Remixed]

did this a few days ago. did a bunch of tracks of american gangster. hope you enjoy it.

sorry about the lack of stuff on here. been caught up with school and such so i don't have much time anymore to do tons of stuff here.

Album Samples!!

hey, sorry about the wait. as i said before, i'm really busy so i've not been able to post up as much. hope some of you are still reading!!!

here are some collections of samples for three albums (graduation, american gangster and fishscale)

the fishscale and american gangster samples were downloaded off XXLMAG so the quality is pretty crap but they're sample-able anyway.

i might upload the donuts samples, just too lazy to find it.

well here are the downloads, remember where you got em.....

Downloads:
American Gangster
Fishscale
Graduation

Bobby's Pot O' Soul

sorry about the lack of updates. i just started a new series of sample flip threads on futureproducers. check it here

each one will have three soul samples, some rare, some classics. i'm just trying to introduce people to soul artists that they may not have heard of. it should be a ton of fun.

PS: I made a new remix video

Tips for the lazy piano player

Running out of ideas when you're trying to make an original beat? Well i got some good solutions that will help you make some dope shit.

TIP #1:
Use Midi Files: to find some, a simple google for "midi files" will suffice, i found this directory of links: http://www.harmony-central.com/MIDI/files.html

After i get some midi files from video games or whatever, i will drag them into fl studio and mess around with different parts to get a new song. Usually i try to not make it really obvious what i sampled. That's why i like finding midi files for random video games.

TIP #2
Use kozong (http://digital.hollmen.dk/?koZong). This is a random chord generator. i usually pick the key, and press create song and you will be given chords for the Verse, Chorus and Bridge. Usually i will then input these chords using the chord feature in the piano roll of FL Studio and then mess around with them sometimes changing the timing, chords, etc to get a good song.


Hope all you "composers" got some good ideas to help make some songs. These are particularly helpful for when you're feeling lazy or just having a creative block.

-bobsmitt

ps: i think in addition to posting samples and such, i will post tutorial type things like this on occasion.

R&B Hits of The 50's

time to hit you guys with another collection of soul songs. they're not all amazing samples but they're still good for listening. i enjoy it. don't just rape the music. enjoy it too.

download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=42UVOU8P

enjoy!

please feel free to hit me w/ email (bobhellbringer@gmail.com) if u want a tutorial, help, etc. i'll happily help u out. it's no problem.

My blog & FP

Well the moderators from fp have contacted me and they had a problem with all the samples i was posting on fp without encouraging some other point of the threads than downloading samples. I understand where they're coming from and i'm going to stop posting new blog posts on FP. I'm going to keep my blog in my signature just so people remember the link.

I'm setting up some more updates too. Dont forget to check the blog. I'm working on my drum kits and i'll post up a demo kit sometime soon i guess.

Two R&B Songs i've done recently

i feel bad that i didn't post these here but i forget that people actually read this (i think).

well anyway, i've been working with a talented singer from the UK recently. We've done two songs, one where he's singing and the other he wrote but his friend Jack White sang.

Check them out and tell me what you think:

Jack White - Let Me Prove My Love: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=503831&songID=5711801

Daniel Cooper - Walking In The Rain: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=503831&songID=5714742

I got a few more songs in the works with him plus some other songs i've done with other rappers. I remixed a song my friend did (shout out to Dots/Chilla) and i'll post that sometime.

I bet people probably just want sample and don't care about posts like this about songs i'm doing with rappers but whatever. I'm just gonna post whatever on this blog.

I'm thinking about switching over to wordpress because it has more features but i don't want to repost all this and blogspot is easy to use. I might try to make the layout more attractive atleast.

Lets Sample 1-6

sorry guys, i've been neglecting this blog recently. i've been doing alot of stuff so i'm getting busy. don't worry guys, i'll have some more samples to upload for your sampling pleasure. i got a big collection of soul that i mainly listen to but i will share some stuff will my blog readers.

well what i'm gonna post here is a collection of the Lets Sample series on FP (check out the latest one here: http://www.futureproducers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=215133) basically VBM (shout out if ur reading), a member of FP, posts samples and people posts their flips of them. It's pretty fun. He posts some crazy samples. From video games to crazy rock songs.

Get your record blog digging on!!!

I've seen tons of these posted and i've had people ask me if i knew of any so i've decided to post up a list of ones i use on occasion. They all got great records for both listening (yes i actually listen to some motown instead of raping it) and sampling. I would shoutout all the people who i got the list but it would take me hours to find that. So just shoutout to people hooking people up with these.

i've just added an iLike widget to my blog on the right sidebar and it shows you what i've recently played in itunes and what are my most played songs so all of my readers can satisfy their inner-stalker. lol.

well anyways, just wanted to say thanks for all the support, it's only gonna get bigger from here.

-bob

ps: expect those dusty fingers to be up by like 3-4pm tommorow (well actually today but i prefer to call it tommorow) because that's when i'll be up most likely lol.

A great synth: ReFX Junox2

Before people say i'm cracking a program, let me say this, this VST has been retired for years and i decided to check it out. I must say, it is one of the best VSTI's i have in my arsenal. Not only does it come with great presets but it is very easy to tweak to make dope synths even to a preset whore like myself. It's a shame it's retired. ReFX sells other synths at their website http://www.refx.net/ but based on the demos i've used, they are much more geared to electronic producers, but that hasn't stopped hip hop producers in the past has it :D

Dusty Fingers Volume 2

Hey guys, sorry about the delay. I've been busy recently. I'll probably post a bonus on e tommorow lol.

So enjoy volume two!!

Dusty Fingers Volume One Coming Your Way!!!

hey guys, i decided that i should add something to the blog again. This time, it will be the every elusive Dusty Fingers series. I bet some of you recognize the name. It is a collection of great samples. I have all of them and i will share it to all my great blog readers out there.

I'm going to be an asshole and i'm gonna do a twist on this... as opposed to posting them all at once (which is a pain considering they are about 700megs all together) i will post one a day. So you'll be getting the first installment today and you can expect them each day for the next two weeks.

Hope all of you reading this enjoy and don't forget to spread the word!

PS: i added my website in the folder name so all you dirty blog jackers will still have the link to my blog in the files. i see you guys lurking....

Tons of dope FREE jazz samples

Shout out to Pboyproducer for posting this dope link.
http://www.jazz-on-line.com/pageinterrogation.php
thanks to the Firefox Down Them All extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201) i've gotten roughly 3 and 1/2 gigs of jazz samples (FOR FREE) off that site.

Here are some tricks i picked up to maximize the samples you can download off that site without paying (i know, i feel terrible but u gotta do everything u can to spend as little as possible when ur producing, gotta cop that mpc memory upgrade, soundcard, camera, and compact flash card lol)

1) Each time you press the Listen link, you will get a different set of samples
2) Each time you press the Download MP3 link, you will get a different set of samples
3) In either Listen or Download MP3 pages you can type in stuff in the To Find A Tune search area. If you run out of ideas, use the Playlist page for some.

Happy sampling!

I think the blog is picking up steam from the fact that people were emailing me about the Studio video without me posting it anywhere but here.

FL Studio Tutorial: Creating Your Own Sounds

A tutorial i wrote for beginners to teach them how to create their own sounds.
