Good morning, everyone! It is time for Week 3 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 25th 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 file format before 11:59 PM PST on Saturday for your submission to count.
WARNING: If you do not follow the rules, your submission will not be accepted! That means if you send an mp3 file, if you send a file after the deadline, if you send a soundcloud link without downloads enabled or behind a private link, if you forget to use the featured sample or if you don't place the transition sample at the beginning and end of your beat, I can't accept it! I know this is new so I've been allowing exceptions, but please read the rules and don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
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:
Here’s the Beat Cypher playlist:
Now, onto the fun part: This Week's Challenge!
Our first sample is a loop from the
Bojack Horseman intro theme.
Our transitional sample is also from the intro theme -
The saxophone solo at the end. - 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 90 Beats Per Minute, so to keep an even count we'll add four seconds onto this beat - that gives us about 24 bars of music to write.
Challenge starts now, so get to beatmaking!
