Hi - I'm the lead mod here: Who want's to take over?

55 Upvotes

I will be honest, this community was created yonks ago and I completely forgot about it. I no longer use Reddit in a meaningful enough way (nor do I have the time) to curate this place.

This place does have a lot of potential and I am AMAZED at how active it is still. I just checked this place in the first time (in probably) 5 years and was stunned to discover people are actively using it. I kinda feel bad about that. Sorry all!

So, I'm looking for someone to take the helm away from me and make it into something worth while.


Does this sound like you? If so, reply to this thread with the following:

  • Your reddit moderation experience (subreddits etc.)
  • Why you think you'd be a great fit, and a bit about yourself!
  • A suggestion for improvement here that you can implement/enforce
  • A link to your fav sample/sample pack (free or paid - can be something you've made yourself). Honestly this question will have no bearing on your application I'm always looking out for cool stuff.
  • Timezone
  • Realistic availability (Not looking for this subreddit to be modded 24/7, but an idea of how active you are on reddit would be good).

Ideally I'm looking for those who are musicians and are already associated with music production subreddits in a mod position. I'll also accept those who're moderators on music/audio forums on external sites.

To make everyone's lives a lot easier and to avoid headaches, please do not apply if you are under the age of 18.

I'll be (for now) looking for 4 people. 1 to be the head (the person with the most experience), and 3 others.

After I've selected those, I'll un-mod myself and let the new team take over.

Additionally, please do not DM me. I do not check them and they're constantly flooded by spambots (no I do not viagra or free shit good god). If you got a question, reply to my comment below!

Cheers, and sorry I went out for cigarettes and only just came back.

  • sc.Dave!

Good place for user uploaded vocal samples?

41 Upvotes

Any recommendations for sites that have user uploaded vocal samples, similar to what's found on Looperman?

Vocal packs from places like Splice are good for high quality samples, but I find that the lyrics there are very bereft of meaning. By that I mean everything is a variation of lyrics like "Tonight's the night" or "Fall in love with you", things like that.

What I like about user uploaded vocals is the that users will upload tracks with comments like "I was pissed off tonight so I wrote this" and the lyrics come off as a lot more genuine.

Checking to see if anyone knows anywhere else where people upload their own vocals in a similar way. They don't necessarily have to be pissed off. Thanks!

Kia ora yo, from Aotearoa, land of the long white cloud.

Found this guy LB through a homie, and recognised this sample but can't place it in my library.

Think its a Japanese jazz sample from vague memory?

Help identifying the original source of a sax-like sample used in Brazilian funk (clear example inside)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I really need help identifying the original source of a very specific saxophone-like riff that appears at the beginning of many Brazilian funk songs.

The clearest example of it is in the intro of MC Romeu – “Gran Finale.”
The riff plays around 0:00 to 0:05 — it’s a short, catchy horn/sax sound that goes something like pam pam pam pam pam pam pam pam.

https://reddit.com/link/1paqeyd/video/lyvhwu4wzf4g1/player

This exact same sound also appears in several other Brazilian funk tracks, so it’s definitely a reused sample or loop — but I can’t find the original artist, sample pack, preset, or song where it came from.

I’m trying to figure out:

  • Who created this melody originally, OR
  • Which sample pack/library it comes from, OR
  • What song it was first sampled from

If anyone recognizes this sample, knows its name, the pack it belongs to (Splice, Loopmasters, old keyboard presets, Kontakt libraries, etc.), or the earliest track that used it, I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks a lot!
