the most commonly used break in electronica - how many of you use it? i do, laquero does, cmon! any thing special youve done with it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
couldn't live without the amen break |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use it at some times. What can I expect, it's the most popular break ever used in electronica today. The apache break is popular too, they use it a lot in breakbeats these days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apache eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used it from time to time when i started writting... but now i find it old and overused, and i rather program my own beats... However, I will say Squarepusher has used the Amen Break in a great way... he is the Amen Break Master... i consider it "his" in a sense. |
||||||||

|
When I use the Amen break, it has to be sliced and reproduced. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i feel the same way about oversuing it too - ive only used it once - i just learned the true origin today - heh, i make alll my own beats - i only chop and process |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use it in a lot of my drill tracks. Drill isn't the only thing I do though. |
||||||||

i've used t a coyupepl yimrs in kym music too! sorery about spelling i'm drubj |

hm... forgot about apache. I've been trying to use only drum loops I've never heard before cause, well jebus, we all know and in most cases loathe that amen break being overused. But admitably, it's great :D It's just got to be chopped to shit for my liking. oh but um, back to the original question, listen to on that page if you like - and I vow that will be the extent of my amen usage. I got it out of my system :) |

||||||||

*insert goofy looking grin right here* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never have- unless I did unwittingly in the brief period when I used ejay. I've always made my own beats :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
where can u get this break from? Please tell me because its really bugging me, i wanna hear it. I probably have it already, please help me find a copy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

sweet - i personally just like the sound of actual (unless of course you're playing your own breaks on set and recording them - in which case, i salute you). i am currently working on constructing a drum machine made primarily out of an old toaster, a tin can, 26 dwarf hamsters on a strict diet of alfalfa sprouts, amphetamines, and horse steroids, and anywhere from 3-6 pounds of chocolate pudding all hooked up to a car battery. That, and I really need some sleep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
er, the sound of actual drums that is. but chopped to shit and reprogrammed around 380 bpm of course. |
||||||||

LETS HEAR IT FOR THE AMEN BREAK :D !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually seem to hear the "sketchy" break more... and I find the "impeach the president" break sexier. I also like the "tense" break. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Amen snares timestretch really nicely... Yummy. And it's from "Amen Brother" by The Winstons |
||||||||
|

amazing break, i imagine the first crate digger that found it probably shit his pants. but it tends to be overused... not so much these days though. a few years ago it was in every dnb track made, and not creatively. burning'n' tree: creative amen use in every track (nearly every track) these days though people are taking it to new levels, but in all honesty.. how much of this 'one thing' can you take before you decide to scrap it... |

|
again, another topic i thought was gonna be something else only to find out i'm a dumbass... let's take a moment to pray... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a pretty good break yeah, I like it I wouldn't say squarepusher did anything spcial with it though...especially not on burning n tree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's the amen break's origin? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently (according to another thread on the same topic that was around a while ago)..... its from a song called..... "Amen Brother" (i believe) i dont remember who its by... but its old search for the other thread... seek it out, and you shall find answers |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

|
|
pach: Someone already mentioned this, but its the a track named "Amen Brother" by The Winstons. ...Just some obscure funk/soul group who spawned a virtually endless resource for electronic music composers with one 45... They should like, sue techno or something. |
||||||||

|
|
At the risk of sounding stupid and uninformed... what the heck IS it? Anyone have a link to a clip of this sample? |
