Cool but I'm a bit confused - bubble sorted by what, exactly? Like what is the y-axis?
Y is essentially the order. If you take the recording and start slicing. The first slices are the smaller ones and the later slices are the taller ones.

The phone will still make sound if I launch a music app, why is a web page different? And I hate web pages making sound! But the UX is confusing, and it’s changed over the years, seemingly without reason. Iphones now have a software toggle as well, which may have coincided with the shift from “mute ringer” to “mute (almost) everything” that came with the multifunction button.
> why is a web page different? Web browsers on desktop operating systems initially allowed any website to play audio without any interaction required. Some websites would blast annoying audio ads as soon as you opened a page on their site. So effort was put into making it so that web browsers on desktops would only play sound after user interaction via mouse click. Later, some websites were exempted from that by some…
That screenshot matrix gets painful quickly once devices/locales grow. Are you doing iOS/Android and roughly how many locales x sizes?

I saw a video about popular/influential/most-used samples the other week[0] and it mentioned James Brown becoming aware of sampling (I guess mid-late 90s?) and specifically making sure that anything he thought might be sample-able was "clean" from that point on. [0] GFL finding anything in YouTube history / search these days hence no link. Wasn't from Synthet, I don't think.
You said it wasn't from Synthet, but they did release a video ~2 weeks ago which talked about exactly that. Super interesting, whether it's the correct video or not! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K71XefOlJh0

Good grief, I thought it might be that video but somehow completely blanked on it when I double-checked and decided it wasn't. Thanks for actually checking usefully!
(Synthet videos are almost always worth a watch even if you can't remember them a couple of weeks later. Old age, innit.)

#124My personal prize for the most chopped amen goes to Breakage’s Final mix of Equinox’s Acid Rain VIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoKlz6_I4vY
Worlds colliding here. We're dropping amen selections now? Some classics that sound like what the app is sortin': Remarc - Sound Murderer (Loafin' in Brockley Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SUdpCVITxc Splash - Babylon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vghx8SEeH8 DJ Krome & Mr. Time - The License https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPa5JBg8hZI Source Direct - Secret Liason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfEWCVoB45s…
High five fellow DnB heads :)
That Source Direct release was out of this world... absolutely beautiful body of work

#125It sounds like a Ventian Snares track. Love it.
I just put on a Venetian Snares album (Rossz Csillag Alatt Született) and thought I'd come back here to say the same as you have!
I'd also add: It's like Aaron's whole career is slightly resting atop Amen Break, at least as far back as (first I heard and still my favorite) The Chocolate Wheelchair Album! Amazing detailed work with Amen and similar samples that's for sure!

"Samples" were kind of like musical memes in the 1980s. What made for a good sample had a lot more to do with convenience and luck. The sounds that were picked for drum samples had more to do with how useful they were - the dynamic range, how isolated the drums are, how easy they were to mix. The other famous drum sample - the "Funky Drummer" as drummed by Clyde Stubblefield for James Brown, Stubblefield didn't think…
Maybe, but the amen break has a very specific je ne sais quoi that makes it way more useful and pleasant as a sample than almost any other sample. There's just so many situations in the kind of music I make where the amen is like the only loop that fits. Funky drummer might come in second. It could just be its cultural weight has me hypnotized. But maybe its just that good
amen and funky drummer are fun but I find it funner to chop up the apache break. it's got a little bongo in there
