Description : So sum of you may remember my "Me Scratching on Turntables" from before. This one I made so that the scratches produce it's own song, sorta a chorus and verses. As with the first one, I threw in some quick vox fills from battle-scratch albums I have to add sum flavor.
I Used Torq on external mode, which has timecoded records for turntables. You can play digital audio threw analog needles on turntables...

Here's how I did it:

1. I made some separate beats, layered them.
2. I recorded sum sine waves
3. I scratched them using Torq. I used pitch up and down on the turntables and the tago switch, (line/phono switch which works as a quick cut off and on) for specific sounds like the choruses. Sometimes the turntables would be off, (not power just platter) which gives a unique sound as well. I also scratched at speeds of 33rpm, 45rpm, and 78rpm- giving unique sounds of course. I also scratched with the fader on the mixer; both fast cut and loose cut speeds.
4. Once I was satisfied with what I had done,like making harmonies with different pitches, I simply layered them and panned each one at different angles.

It was fun to do. I hadn't planned on producing anything. In fact I was only practicing for a song with simmerdown. Poor guy, He's been waiting patiently!

So.. hope you enjoy it and feedback welcomed.

Hey, I'm so glad you stopped by my page so I could return the favor and find this one! Super cool! It's so good, I can totally forgive that it is virtual/digital turntables! The mildly aggressive tempo of this sounds great! Neat bass/synth sections! Dig it! Fave!

Gotta agree with Salook, you really don't know what's around the corner on this site!

I think this track is awesome man and I like the way you've created the unique sounds and the vocals are wicked. Great beat, would have liked it to kick my head in, but that's just me being greedy, it certainly isn't a criticism!

Fantastic work my friend, definite Fave.

Thanks again man. lol I have actually started to try and redo some of it. I already have a few versions and this one up is actually not my favorite mix. It's hard to get the real sounds I want right now, (lack of monitors, what else!!) but will send you a better version if i finish that project. i mean when i finish haha. Thanks tho for reading the description. I know it's alot, and i should try to summarize. It definitely has a place as a unique track here as far as I have seen. That I like. :)

Yeah this is awesome!

lol, I love the vocals...
I definitely wanted that breakbeat to really punish my ears, but that's just a personal preference.

Definitely agree with Simmerdown.
This is cool!

Description : I HOPE YOU ARE NOT TO LAZY TO READ THIS xD

All started with a Future Bass Drum with Reverb at 140 BPM. It sound like Dubstep and then all go fast. A very Deep Synth Flute with Reverb as Bass. Hig Synth for the Melody. High Flute with Reverb for other. And High Wobbling Synth with stereo Phaser. Many Crazy Snares and lite Stick Hits as Percussion with Reverb. End a Pad with the same Stereo Phaser effect. Yeah thats it. I work 4 Hours at this Track. Sounds Like Future Bass or Dubstep with a lite Happy EDM touch. Please leave some Feedback. Which genre is this? Whats good , Whats Bad? You know what I mean :D

Description : BRICS, the new economic powerhouse of emerging nations Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. In the struggle for economic dominance will cooperation prevail regarding climate change and other issues of global importance or will it be business as usual?

This track is a heavily sampled break beat melange featuring Russian vocalist Doctyabrev and excerpts of speeches in languages of the other three countries including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Marina Silva of Brazil. There's a whiff of Maceo's "Cross the Tracks" in there too.

Much thanks to all the Looperman contributors including: Doctyabrev, fanto8bc, djnab, blueskies, buffalonugaluss, megapaul, and 7venth12. 100 bpm, key of E.
