by the way, dobroide and pitx, your dares are very... daring. the risk is obviously yours. when a theme is recognisable, the risk is a LOT higher, so yours are... on the edge. watch out.

The Minute Men. Glory of Man.
I think it caputers the feel without stealing the song.


enjoy.

Hi folks.
I'm terribly late, I know, but here I go:

I guess I didn't exactly follow the rules this time. It's a 4 sound pack, and the original track is not recognizable in most of them, but anyway...

http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/packsViewSingle.php?id=1219

Method: At first I was thinking of creating a whole drumkit with the track, but finally I took a more 'direct and lazy' approach. Basically I time-stretched the tune lots of times until it was 20 sec. or less, then I applied fx (eq, spectral delay, reaktor stuff...) until I got something... well...
Eventually I got a bunch of strange sounds I was about to trash, but I decided to select the 4 most "listenable" and upload them.

oh, the tune is "so what".

see you

Very cool... very... warped... Well done!

ooohh im totally in on this. I have a really good recording of the theme for Twilight Zone, so i added a whole load of tweeks here and there and came up with a really strange sound that sounds like what a robot would sound like when it died or was shutdown.


I couldn't get anything longer than that, my software wont allow me to sample anything longer than about a minute or two.

Here's the link

If this isnt what you wanted us to do its because i got confused somewhere down the line.

I don't think you can honestly sample a modern song and twist it to legally get away with it. Its kind of murky actually due to claims of fair use having artists now being given some leeway.

But one way to really get around the copyright issue is to use music who's copyright has expired. Archive.org's got some music from the 20's and earlier which I believe have expired copyright. Some of the quality is quite bad but some of its actually pretty good.

dare4 has been launched!

a new dare: http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2757

I haven't read the second page of this topic, so I reacted to the original dare 3:

Originally it was "Relax, take it easy", but I believe it isn't recognizable anymore.

Thanks, I will try this dare and let you know the result.
