Ableton Live Beat Battle #1 "and the winner is....."

[MacGuffin]

i wish i could find weed around here....

someone mail me some!

come to montreal, plenty of that for cheap here.
i'm having some nice white russian bud right now

[H20nly]

When you're done there come to Cali... got some purple shit that leaves sticky goo on your fingers that won't come off even with dish soap!!

[MacGuffin]

yeah, you need the orange extract thingy to make that insane stuff come off your fingers (the same you use to clean bongs)

wow this thread is just like my experience with the contest, starts with a sample and ends with weed.

[MacGuffin]

and does anyone still think i cheated on the drums

[funky shit]

why/how would you cheat on the drums?

[MacGuffin]

why/how would you cheat on the drums?

well, that's what I thought! But it seems it crossed the mind of others...

as for how, I guess cheating would mean using other samples. But wouldn't that take away the fun of doing this contest in the first place?
And besides, I think the kick turned out okay, but the snare isn't that great imo.

[funky shit]

wataver dude.. you won. and you know yourself if you cheated or not.

i personaly think you didn't.. and congrats

4.MacGuffin
5.d.cease (?)
6.Hurling Dervish
7.UK Russ
8.Skullnbones

Substance G = 8O, by the way...

Good job on the competition; looks like no poll, just replies is the way to go next time...

Like any loser, I'd just like to say that it was the taking part that was the main thing. After I'd heard the other entries, I knew I didn't stand a chance anyway...

But I'm definitely looking forward to the next challenge...

Cheers guys!

[8O]

... 3 threads that i know of... that splits the bumps, as well as views, up considerably.

I still think that it would be cool to tie them all together into one sick megamix of freakishness... Livenstein's Monster

yeah, would be good for next time...

[8O]

So he just happen to cheat for YOU in a blind poll.... You think we're retarded or something?

Oh please, why would he f*ck up his own battle? The votes were so overwhelming it was obvious they were not real votes. If he had wanted an advantage wouldn't had done it more subtly? Clearly this was done by someone with mischievous intentions.

Exactly. I'm interested in how someone can fix the phpBB polls though - I really don't think anyone has 90+ aliases on here - I tried logging out, deleting cache, logging in, etc, but didn't seem to let me ever vote twice - different IP, maybe? - purely in the interests of research you understand, not to fix the next poll in my favour of course...

Anyway, enough rambling... Congrats to MacGuffin - an excellent mix, a deserved winner! Good going.

Goiod show all, I'm with LM though, I was against the voting from day one, as I obviously stated, and actually Hurling Dervish entered me without my permission. and THEN it turns out he rigged his own voting....tsk tsk.

I'm just not into competition, however I did, in good spirit cast a vote for number 4.

More voting and I am out on the next one.

I am also with Willyum. Cos he voted for me.

ponderous.

I don't think hurling was fukin around. even an asshole that would be on the forum would like these beats to some extent. shit they would have to just to know the forum exists. it conceivable that thread jacker really liked number 6.
Shiiiit I thought it was hella good.

I don't wanna get all OT but the analogy is...

this is like some pussy terrorist act. if we let it get to us who wins?

rock this shit. even if we hand count votes, at least its on the glass.

It crossed my mind, but not becasue I really think people bother cheating but maybe misunderstood the 'rules' or somethign and used another sample innocently by mistake. However, like I said, I liked it!

Post up your set, w could learn some sound design tips form them drumz fo sho!

[8O]

Folks, I put my set up on the Ableton Share - any comments at all as to where I could've tweaked it to make it clearer and punchier, would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.ableton.com/account/documents/12b4bd458ff1 - used L8.0.5b11 (non-suite), but probably opens in any version of 8...

I'm super late to the game.........I really loved the idea of the competition but only had a chance to actually work on something the last two days. I didn't want to post anything but I'm so fucking amazed at what Ableton can do...I had to show my pals on ze forum. I can't believe I could make these awesome ass synths with a sample, especially a sample that has nothing to do with a synth!

anyway, behold the power of LIVE!!!!
