[I]Hey Musician's Gig Room![/I]
We haven't done a challenge here in a long while, and I had an interesting idea that may or may not have been done before. Let's challenge ourselves to write songs with only ONE sample!
It's quite simple, really. Just select a short sample, like this:
(A recording of me messing up a note on the guitar)
NOTE: You may use this sample, if you'd like! Download it off soundcloud.

And then make an entire song out of the sample, like this:
(This is something I made in around an hour for the thread)

Some guidelines/rules for the challenge:
[b]1.[/b] The song must be over 1 minute long.
[b]2.[/b] You may only use 1 sample, like the example above.
[b]3a.[/b] It does not matter what the sample is. For instance, if you want to make an entire song out of a single 808 snare, then go ahead.
[b]3b.[/b] If you use your own sample, please post a soundcloud link to JUST that sample so we can get an idea of what you did with it.
[b]4.[/b] You are allowed to edit and mess around with the sample as much as you want.
I also have a few questions. Do you guys want your songs judged, and ranked? If we do that, would you guys like a reward for placing in first? Also, are there any suggestions for the guidelines/rules? Please respond!
After we get enough songs, I'll put together a playlist of everyone's work, to give them a bit more praise!
So, Post your results below! This could be a ton of fun if a lot of people participate.
How about providing one sample that everyone has to work with? Would be neat to hear what kind of results are possible off one sample

I would be ok with using your guitar fucking up sample as the base, why not
I got really tired of doing things this way before I got to arranging it making an intro and shit, so it doesn't really qualify for this as a competition, but I made this

out of this snare/clap

for excrement and giggles.
Is the synth made out of the snare as well?
[QUOTE=Eyefunk;46472473]Is the synth made out of the snare as well?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I just looped part of it really quickly, then added vibrato, reverb and flanger in some spots, and played it in chords.
I started with a snare because I knew I could make a synth this way, and making drums out of it would be very easy. If I started with a melodic instrument I would have been able to make a more interesting leading synth, but the snares and hihats would have been much more difficult.
Great thread idea OP. Time to get to work!
New rule: If you use your own sample, please post a soundcloud link to JUST that sample so we can get an idea of what you did with it.
Thanks for participating guys! This will be a ton of fun, I promise!
I took a recording of a really old freezer opening and closing for mine. [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42007840/Freeze.wav[/url]

I did something similar to this with raw data from a .dll file a while ago but it had some vsts here and there. Fun stuff.

How did you do this... I couldn't even hear even a close resemblance of the sample in the song, wow. Great work!
ALSO, I'm updating the OP. After we get enough songs, I'll put together a playlist of everyone's work, to give them a bit more praise!
