Q-Roshed Balls

By Devieus on March 18, 2018 1:01 pm

So sometime back Q-Rosh made this song, and I felt like the recording of the pinball machine was a bit out of place and underutilized. He then responded by giving me the raw recording so I could sample parts of it for a song, which I did for better or worse, and also made my life a little harder by putting in a signature change half-way into the song for no real reason, causing a bunch of plug-ins to freak out.

Them's the breaks.

I also wanted to use the opportunity to focus on Q-Rosh' name by using it in the title as if it were "crush". I don't in all honesty know whether that's how you're supposed to say it, but that's what I'm going for here. It fits nicely with the everything.

I am glad you worked with the "little Joe" sample. Such a cool track. Thanks.

Nice track. I like this approach and I am considering myself to record something to sample it later.

cool groove-nice

definitely a cool idea and well executed!

Very cool set of edits--very nice groove (and great to hear pinball as a sound source!

Synchronicity in action. I'm reading "Spoonbenders," involving a kid who telekinetically manipulates a pin-ball machine.

Thanks! This piece is going on repeat. ::)

It's all the rage.
It probably isn't, but it's an easy way to get interesting instruments.

I did what I felt was right, and if that means doing right to a pinball machine then that's what I'll do.

Some people will definitely like the original better, and you're the lucky winner there. Also thanks, I like balanced panning, it creates a more satisfying sensation than if it's left weighted or mono.

Man! That's nice... if i ever open a game room this should be the soundtrack for the local cinema comercial...

I always think it's neat when someone samples from another Weekly Beat song.  I like the rhythmic flow of the pinball sounds.

i think you q-roshed it!  smile

This is awesome!

LOL - hanging out after midnight on my computer, slowly saying "QRRRROSSHHHED" to try to figure it out.

This is great and really makes me want to play pinball now.  The fake bit gives a bit of an "arcade theme song" vibe.  I like the ending choral finale.

You're free to use it, even for commercial purposes in accordance with the licence.

Yea, interplay can be nice sometimes, and now I got to do it myself too. Pinball machines make for great drums because of all the mechanical bits and pieces and the buzzes make for a great bass.

Yea, I came up with that title fairly early on because of how I say Q-Rosh' name and the pervasive pinball sounds.

I agree that finale is something special and probably deserves a bigger song. Now go have fun in the arcade.

Yep, ya Qroshed it. I liked the pin ball samples in his song, and here as well!

It's more of an ode to Q-Rosh, the rest came naturally.

Take it as an example of how sampling can work.
