RE: Hot damn!
Yeah. Maybe get more creative with the sampler and drop some mangled breaks in - especially just before that walking bass enters.
The guitar's the first two bars of a Blur track, "There's No Other Way". I might have a noodle with a filter or something on it, fake up some wah. I do prefer it tighter and scratchier, I guess - not quite Nile Rogers, but almost!
I have been a bit lazy with the new sampler - have been slowly building up a library from the net, mapping out some drumkits (need to do an 808 set), Teledisking some stuff like the Rhodes over and playing with breaks. I really ought to sit down and do a found-sound only track, but it'll take time - and seeing as I'm really busy with Uni work, it can wait. This summer... three months of holiday... or at least studio time
But thanks for the tips, knowa; and you're right on the Fatboy Slim reference... just in terms of arrangement, there's stuff in him that's worth looking at (and whilst I think that second album was bollocks, the third one rates relatively highly in my book). Cool. Good to feel I'm making some kind of progress... if it is a little slow because of the pressures of academia.
