Breaking The Mecanique

A short song I made last night for the rpmchallenge using a music box I had and a beat slicer.

I have no idea what a beat slicer is, but this sounds cool. Good luck with RPM.

Ooh, drezdn, I'm glad you posted this -- I've been lately obsessed with trying to find and use music boxes in a similar way. I'm curious: what's the original tune, if you know it? Thanks very much.

I have no idea what a beat slicer is, but this sounds cool.

It analyzes a piece of music and kind of cuts it up into slices for you. It's the sort of thing I was doing by hand, when I chopped up the BASSFIGHT mp3s to get little pieces of them that I could recombine into something else.

PS: I really like this little track. Practically begs to have a beat. Maybe if I get the time, I will make this "beat."

Yeah, this is really nice. What beat slicer did you use?

melissa may: The tune is "The Candyman" Who can make the something something, The Candyman can...

Thanks for the kind words everyone... I use the Beat Slicer built into FL Studio 5, unfortunately I can't do slices myself yet because I just have a demo version.

Every time I hit Music I end up listening to this again. Superb.
