AIFL - The Solid (Akai MPD32 + Ableton Live 8)

This was a beat that I had made about a year ago and just left alone. I rediscovered it a few months back while I was organizing/cleaning up the files on my hard drive.

For whatever reason it sounded better to me the second time around so I decided to use it for the first installment of the AIFL Beat Blog.

It consists of a few different samples from vinyl. Those samples were chopped, rearranged processed then placed into drum racks using Ableton Live 8.

The controller I'm using is an Akai MPD32 with modified pads (thick fat pads) from mpcstuff.com.
