This is unreasonably fun.

#73Cool, but I don't see how it's sorting anything. It just seems to play a randomized arrangement of the slices. You can re-randomize as much as you like but there's no sort option as far as I can see.
The idea is that it slices the Amen Break into however many slices you specify, and the list being sorted is the indices for those slices. At each step, it plays the slice the pivot is being compared to. Because it only plays the samples being compared, it never plays the sorted chunks, so it's missing a "punchline" of sorts.
I was surprised at how frustrating it was to not hear the sorted result at the end.

And a tragic story at that: >Coleman died homeless and destitute in 2006. It was unlikely he was aware of the impact he had made on music. Neither he [band leader Spencer] nor Coleman received royalties for the break.
"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…
Samplers became accessible at the time which allowed music production with just loops. Look at snap I got the power. All looped samples

I’ve heard conflicting accounts about their knowledge and royalties. While I’m certain they didn’t receive royalties from all artists, I heard many 80s artists did. And Amen Brothers took others to court. So they would have know about the use of the break. I will admit I haven’t done any independent research into this matter personally. Just echoing accounts I’ve read and taking their reports at face value.
> And Amen Brothers took others to court. Who is "Amen Brothers"?
"Amen, Brother" is the name of the track it's from, so the parent is likely referring to the band.

I mean, look at any house or hip-hop track, sampling's like the most fundamental part of both genres.
The track you've mentioned is the prime example of the blend of those two genres. Before the term Eurodance caught on, this track would be referred to as hip-house (as in hip-hop + house). Chicago and the broader NY area did it first, but it was a Belgian track that first topped the US charts (Technotronic's Pump Up The Jam).

#77My 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
I like Bruce Lee Mc by Quincy.

#79I can't help laughing. This is great. I don't understand the comparison function, but it's really enjoyable listening to the algorithm work out its logic.
It's comparing the t value.

iOS seems to mute the web audio apis when the phone is in silent mode (the switch on the side of the phone). If you toggle it on, then this site (and many others) play sound. I have no idea why it works this way and it’s frequently annoying.
How old of an iPhone does one need to have that switch? My 6S+ has one, but a 15 doesn’t.
My 14 has the switch. I believe the 15 is when they switched to a programmable "action" button in place of the switch.
