Good morning, everyone! It is time for Week 2 of the TPF Weekly Beat Cypher. Just post in the thread below that you're joining the Cypher and download the samples, follow the simple rules posted below, and spend the next 7 days working on a 1 minute beat. Private message me with a download link to your beat by Saturday, June 12th at midnight Pacific Time (UTC -8:00), and come check out the thread Sunday morning around this time for the results and next week's Beat Cypher!

THE BORING PART - THE RULES (there's only two)
  • You must use both samples provided, and you must compose in the BPM provided. One sample will be a transition sound you place at the start and end of your track, and the other is the featured sample for your beat.
  • You have to both post in this thread that you are joining AND private message me with your track in 32 or 24 bit, 44.1 kHz WAV or AIFF files before 11:59 PM PST on Saturday for your submission to count.

If you're unsure of how the beat cypher works, here's an article describing it, a video that touches on it, and lastly here are all the Team Supreme cyphers, so you can hear how they did it:


Here’s last week’s cypher:
Now, onto the fun part: This Week's Challenge!

Our first sample is from the cartoon series Futurama - Professor Farnsworth saying "Good news, everyone!"

Our transitional sample is this layered tonal sweep I designed - Place this at the start and end of your 1 minute beat so I can blend them all together at the end!

Our tempo is 160 Beats Per Minute, so you need to write about 40 bars of music to complete this week's challenge.

Challenge starts now, so get to beatmaking!

Good morning, everyone! It's the final day for submissions, so if you haven't submitted your cypher already or you want to make any changes, you have until 11:59 PM, Pacific Time (UTC -8:00). For reference, it is currently 7:10 AM. So you have just under 17 hours to go! I think I have most everyone if not everyone, so I'll start marking down received submissions in the OP.

Note: If you do not follow the rules listed in the OP, I cannot accept your submission. PLEASE make sure your submission is a 32 or 24 bit .WAV file, exported at 44100 Hz, and please make sure you have the transition sample at the beginning and end of your cypher so I can more easily transition between your songs when creating the mixtape. Also, make sure that your cypher is downloadable, or else obviously I won't be able to include it.
