    that'd be great -- do you mean tweet the thread, as well? would be helpful to do it now, to attract people.... then later to reward them?

    and ya, i have access to their fb, etc. about 6k followers but decent engagement

    shiit

    thing i did was built around a sample from the intro of the song, but honestly after building it all out, I think the sample ends up being unnecessary for the song itself

    probably won't try to do this after all.

    Just don't want to end up turning in something that's so far removed from the original song you can't tell it's even suppose to use part of it

    No that’s the idea though, use it as a foundation. Mash it up w other songs, girl talk it up. Whatever is creative

    Dope! Honestly I think the sample fits with the song well.

    Also, question for someone who is musically inclined: is there an easy way to figure out the bpm of the original song? I have a stupid idea and extremely basic audio editing skills.

    to be completely honest, s--- like BPM is why I don't f--- around with samples generally. I've no idea how to figure stuff like that out usually. I got lucky here in that I was able to use basic functions in FL to sync it up a bit tempo wise, but in no way was it 100% right, and I ended up just chopping up the beginning notes with slicex for manual placement since the beginning guitar parts are isolated anyways

    In Logic there's a BPM counter plug-in, so I'm guessing there'd be one in garageband too

    Just seeing this. @Cyreides If you got the time and you down to work, send me the stems to the beat you posted on here. I want to change the drums and loop one of the synths you got going at the beginning and add some more s--- to it. If you dont have my email anymore I'll resend it. Thanks for the alley-oop, @Papa Andy.
