It would be a lot of fun, I'm just stuck on how each individual would be able to choose 3 random records online, I have a large folder of old albums & I imagine it is very little compared to a lot of people on here.
You start with one user who selects 3 records. Each person participating in the "battle" (and not the threadstarter) would have to come up with their best beat. It'll still be a random "roulette" thing because the participants didn't choose it themselves.
This is already the idea behind the Flip This contests on this site...they're pretty fun.
Ah ok. Never checked those threads out!
Is anyone or has anyone run a rhythm roulette type scenario on these forums?
If not does anyone have any ideas on how it could work, as in choosing three records blindfolded.
Drop the needle is another cool sampling game.
Stopwatch set for 15 minutes
pick a record - blind - from your crate
Put the disc on the turntable - press record on the sampler (Maschine in my case)
Without looking - Drop the needle
record 8 bars of wherever it fell.
chop and flip before the stopwatch hits zero
I do this on busy weekends when I know I only have a little while to **** about before wifey gives me jobs to do.
The only thing I don't like is recording wherever it drops.
