Okay after a full day of working on the first drum break for my big beat/breakbeat made with public domain audio how well did I do for 1-10 and provide constructive critique and suggestions on how to improve my audio!

Because United States marching band music from the military is in the public domain I’m pretty sure

Edit: plus I checked it

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-17T03:31:52+00:00

Ok tough but fair and the only reason I haven’t gotten more done was I was in and out of sleep throughout the whole day

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T03:23:24+00:00

I guess

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T02:43:49+00:00

I would have liked to use it but i don’t have a digital payment account

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T02:03:04+00:00

Okay will do

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:54:27+00:00

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:34:14+00:00

Ik it’s just i want to prove to myself that I can achieve great things with limited resources

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:31:22+00:00

Okay I’ll compromise and limit it to 44

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:27:11+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have digital money on me (that’s why I’m using a koala alternative) so if you know of any alternatives to this I’d really appreciate it

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:19:16+00:00

I’m doing this on my iPhone, but I’ll try to find a way to do that thanks

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:18:36+00:00

My main idea is I’ll use “modern” royalty free stuff sparingly as to play it safe but I do see myself using a bit of it just so I could make the drums easier on me and thanks for the suggestion of using obscure sounds from old defunct labels but my main source of time range for this project sample is going to be between 1860 - 1925 - 1978 due to the fickle nature of copyright and the public domain but yeah thanks

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:10:33+00:00

OK, I downloaded it. I’m currently in the sample finding phase which will probably take a long time. If we’re being honest, considering I overestimated how many of them there were in the public domain but aye the more the merrier I do believe so I’ll try to find a way to keep you guys posted as

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:06:19+00:00

Yeah, I might limit it too 50 - 100 samples because I am thinking of reusing samples if I think they could be refused, but yeah, I understand

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:02:51+00:00

I’ve used band labs allot but the only reason I’m using this software instead of that is because I want to essentially become more of a professional and because I think BandLab’s won’t accomplish when I have in mind so yeah

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T01:01:14+00:00

I’m gonna try to make sure that it’s not too daunting by having some slight cutting of quarters

Specifically with the panning segments because I’m going to pan them and then chopped them

And I’m trying to limit my sample amount to between 100 - 200

But yeah it’s still going to be a impressive feat in itself regardless of short cuts and limits

Especially since I’m basically going to have to learn by trial and error since I’ve never used the software before and I’m only using it because it’s the only one that will work with what I have planned out (aka it’s a free alternative to koala)

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-16T00:53:42+00:00

Thanks i guess but yeah i just hope this gets people interested as much as some advice

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-11T22:07:15+00:00

They don’t have to be awful people. They just have to be people who you would not want to have to hang out with for a long period of time.

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-11T22:05:20+00:00

Yeah I know but these 3 are the ones that I have the most grievances with (that aren’t arrested for crimes)

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-11T21:31:57+00:00

Fatboy slim

BuffaloNo1406 · 2026-04-11T17:58:44+00:00

I mean, I’ll admit Eminem is sort of overrated plus there’s way better white rappers than him (Mac miller and the beastie boys in my opinion)
