Rip a recording of a politician or celebrity speaking and choose a 10-second snippet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are only allowed to make sounds and instruments from that small clip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sounds that are vowels (“aaahs” and “ooohs”) can turn into sampled notes, and plosives (“Ps” and “Bs”) can make up the percussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This game will turn you into a sampling mastermind as you discover how to transform sounds into real-life instruments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The 20-minute song<\/h2>\n\n\n\n You have 20 minutes to make a complete verse and chorus that you would be happy to show to your friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This game puts efficiency at the forefront. You can use any sample pack and join loops, but the more original ideas, the better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set a timer for 20 minutes and see how far you get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing to work on is your ability to use shortcuts and the tools built into your DAW to improve speed and efficacy of production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will not only make you learn your DAW better, but it will also force new ideas into your head and prevent overthinking or losing the flow by getting bogged-down with sound design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can add new rules to this game such as recreating your favourite song, or combining it with any one of the games mentioned above. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
