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.

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.

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

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.
