    It needs a sound like the intro of Funkadelic's Get Off Your Ass and Jam to really finish it off.

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d1i35T5yAk"]YouTube- Funkadelic - Get Off Your Ass And Jam[/ame]

    I just tried and it fits really well with a bit of timestretching.

    Looking forward to your beat. :cool:

    Slug is and always will be my number 1 emcee, but man, POS (and really all of doomtree) are so wild right now it's hard to grasp. I used to run from pos, he just was NOT put together. Now though, my god if he is ever refined from what he used to be. He is, as you said, hitting on every cylinder. Dude is just on point right now. Not to mention his production abilities, he can do things on an MPC I doubt many could pull off like he does.

    As for dubstep, I am just getting into it, but I love what I hear. Something about it is just inspiring, even with the absence of vocals. Sometimes vibration just plays out that way.......**** gets you movin.

    can anyone help me with cutting out a guitar part that is played behind a higher pitched piano part? I guess you would use a high pass filter, but I can't seem to get it done. I'm trying to recreate a song (which has no backing behind the piano) so I can learn how to use the maschine a bit more, but i'm stumped on this already.

    If you only need the piano, then use the right channel.

    That easy huh, haha. I need to listen harder I guess. Theres more than the over all sound that can be pulled out and tweaked. Thanks a lot.

    Now you know how I listen to music from the sixties and seventies. There are two sides to every song. The left and the right side. ;)

    Nice try. You say I'm on another level, but those Bomb Squad guys were on another planet! :lol: I like how you recreated Funky Drummer, but it's not quite as powerful as Security Of The First World. ;) I also went through the Maschine library saxophone licks, but none of them had the sound I was looking for. Way too clean. So I went for Lyn Collins' Mama Feelgood instead. Although your track doesn't sound as noisy and aggressive as a Bomb Squad production, it still shows your skills as Maschinist. I'm going to give it another try when I've found some useful samples. I hope you will too. Bring the noise! :cool:

    Yeah, until you get to all those great funk gems that only got pressed to 45. In mono.

    Then you curse the fact that you will never be able to hear that awesome guitar lick without hearing the piano and horns in it too.

    And then you realize that not only did Pete Rock flip all those tracks in amazing ways, but DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist can spend 2 hours flipping 45s live into a dj set that leaves your head spinning and you have to sit back down and think that maybe, just maybe, there's a way to figure it out.

    Maybe that's just me though, hehe...
