Drum and percussion samples and loops, in the hip-hop genre, recorded on a digital voice recorder, processed on a personal computer and assembled into drum machine patches, sounding in the drum machine styles of the 80's and 90's.

You can't even imagine how old THESE samples and loops are ... I first started beatboxing somewhere around the age of 10, when I recorded 2-4 remixes on soundtracks from Soviet films in the style of the then fashionable DJ Grove ... But as time went on, this DJ at times surpassed my lurid and low-quality attempts with his late remixes - and I myself also decided to hit the work on electronic music. However, while relaxing at the CD player, when my rogue swindling father and I were listening to the CD "On the Wave of My Memory" from David Tukhmanov and his companions, I took and played beatbox throughout the entire first track of this legendary Soviet rock -album "I mentally enter your office". And what do you think, my father really liked it and he praised me very much, saying that I would make a good arranger if I tried. Father's praise meant a lot to me, because it was he who disturbed my natural artistic development by buying me my first (pirated even then) disc with a collection of programs for recording music. Hearing words of approval from him, I began to try to record the beat-box no longer on tape, but on my computer.

This dubious occupation immediately caused me a lot of problems. Firstly, the recorded beatbox turned out to be overloaded for me, with a lot of noise: then, in the middle of the 2000s, I still could not, let alone make a clean recording - even clean the already recorded material with noise and crackling! Secondly, how should it have sounded? What parts do beatboxers usually play with their mouths? For a long time I did not understand this, until one day, on the air of the "Minute of Glory" program on the "First Channel" of Russian federal television, I saw some rapper who not only imitated drums very cool with his mouth, but even added to them ... bass part! I listened to him, and understood: this is it, this is how it should be done! Well, in order to follow some definite rhythm, one night, during my planned two-week vacation, I played the entire late discography of the English band The Beatles in the player and lo and behold. in the pitch darkness and deathly silence, in a loud whisper, I began to read the beatbox for 2-3-4 or even 5 minutes (how I didn’t raise my angry and cruel mother, I don’t understand). Several overnight sampling sessions resulted in huge, 30-60 minute chunks of recorded digital audio material of mediocre quality.

Well, then I started experimenting with MAGIX (then it still belonged to Sony) Noise Reduction, normalizing the signal amplitude in Sound Forge Normalize (using the RMS algorithm) and struggling with the placement of slicing markers for Fruity Slicer (C) and Propellerhead Recycle (C) ... It took a lot of time, to be honest ... and it ... was ... dreary ... very much. I had to spend hours just looking for the beatboxes I like the most in the recorded WAVE files up to 30 minutes or more long ... But, in the end, I think I managed to rip a bunch of beautiful small files out of these ugly large files. which became the drum loops included in this collection of samples.

But, you know, I am a person prone to creative Mozachism, so, at last, after finishing all the work on drum loops in the beatbox style, I suddenly had an insidious thought: hey, what if I cut all these loops into separate pieces, normalize and clean them separately, choose for each of these pieces the most appropriate name for the percussion instrument (bass drum, there, or clap hands, for example) and then add them to drum machines from popular music writing programs? With a heavy heart and a sore head, realizing what this add-on will cost me, I spent another 6 MONTHS before finally finishing adding these miscellaneous pieces, which, as is customary, I called one shots. And then added them to Battery (C), FPC (C) and KONG (C). Well, since I am still a creative Mozahist, I decided, as advertisements on intimate service sites say, "sweet end": in a completely terrible hurry, I prepared 2 racks with effects for FL Studio (C) and Reason (C), in which there were effect processors for distortion, equalization, reverb - and even modulation (only for FL).

(Loud, deep breath)

What did I end up with? .. Does all this miserable digital sound good sound like beatbox? I dont know. But I love it, and some of the patches - and combined with my effect racks - sound very juicy and delicious, and I plan on adding them to some of my future projects, heh.

My sincere gratitude to my father, Yuri, this deceiver, who, nevertheless, has encouraged my creativity for many years and provided me with the necessary software and hardware to work with them. Father, you are a scoundrel, but for my first (and subsequent) CD with "Fruit Loops" and "Forge of Sound" you thank you very much.
