This is my entry for the Beat Collective Challenge for Sept 2025, in which participants are provided with two or three samples and invited to use them in any way they wish in an original track.
The theme for September is Sports Sounds and four samples were provided:-
Sample 1 clapping
Sample 2 crowd
Sample 3 football horn
Sample 4 whistle
I used the samples as follows.
Sample 1 clapping - I turned this into a single clap sound and used it on the 2nd & 4th beats of the bar throughout the track.
Sample 2 crowd - I used this without any processing at three points in the track in the breakdowns and I chopped it and used it as a rhythmic effect from 2 mins up to 3:30 mins.
Sample 3 football horn - I processed this by applying Saturation, Delay and a Pitch Corrector (added fifth) to create a sort of reverse synth, then layered it one on the other.
Sample 4 whistle - I used as is without processing at the end of the second and third breakdowns. Then I used a Pitched Down Daisy Spiral effect to create the scream sound here and there in the track.
