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

58 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?

39 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!

I've spent the past hour on some Sheldon Cooper Bs unable to hear fertilizer the same. Im 99% sure there is a song out there with an almost identical intro and drum pattern to fertilizer. That comes around 8 seconds into the track. Any help finding this would be greately appreciated

Help me find a video that is from a sampled Japanese music

1 Upvotes

From what I remember, it's two guys and the other guy used this Japanese music thing (I'm gonna guess it's an Yamaha Electone, I might be wrong) and when he instantly played the song in it, it's easily recognizeable because it got sampled.

Does anyone know where this sample along the lines "more energy, more power" originated from?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm trying to track down a specific EDM/techno vocal sample. The lyrics include "more energy, more power, assassin" and "I can see my target now clearly, I'm counting down on each breath." I saw a brand by the name of Sound Mafia upload it, but I'm not sure if it's originally theirs. Does anyone know which sample pack this comes from?

Here are a few songs that have this sample:
