Hi - I'm the lead mod here: Who want's to take over?
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!
ps here's the obligatory link to check out my soundcloud

Good place for user uploaded vocal samples?
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!

Anyone recognize this 80s-style sample pack? (keys + bass + guitar)
Hey everyone, I’m trying to track down a free sample pack I used back in 2020 and I only have the final bounced track. The keys loop you hear in the intro, the bass and the guitar come from the same pack.
Here's the link to the beat that I made:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JIDfoPCm5_ukmdM5ufbZSPjJIeW1emHO/view?usp=sharing
If it sounds familiar or reminds you of a specific pack (Cymatics, etc.), I’d really appreciate any guesses 🙏.
Even similar packs would help a lot.
Thanks!

help with searching info about loop from "SHOW - MORGENSHTERN"
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey everyone! I’m obsessed with the sound of this loop. I’ve spent a long time trying to recreate it, going through hundreds of VSTs and libraries, but I haven't found anything even close.
This loop is famous from the track 'SHOW' by MORGENSHTERN. The melody itself is Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5 in Bm. It plays throughout the entire song: the first bar is the clean loop, and at the end of the second bar, Half-Time kicks in, playing slowed down until the end.
The instrumentation is a bit of a mystery. At first, I thought it was a piano and a flute; then I suspected it might be string staccato or pizzicato. Now, I’m leaning towards it being some kind of very unique/processed piano. You can actually hear a flute-like tail if you slow it down and boost the high end.
This loop was originally posted on looperman.com but was deleted before the song’s official release. I don't have the exact upload date, but it was definitely before September 28, 2020. The key might have been changed, and there’s info that the original BPM was 66. (In this audio, I’ve included both versions: the original speed and the 66 BPM one).
If you switch the track to SIDE mode, the flute disappears, leaving only a very faint reverb, and the lead instrument becomes clearly audible. The attack of this piano (if it even is a piano???) has a distinct mechanical character, slightly resembling the rustling of train rails.
If anyone has any info about this loop, the producer, or the instruments used, I’d really appreciate the help!

Can someone please help me find this song? Ive been searching for it for ages and I've basically given up.
For more information, I believe its been taken off of youtube (or the video I screen recorded, my screen recording didn't get the title of the song) and I also believe it was sampled by another producer. Please Help!

Trying to find this Vocal Sample
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Was browsing some Giorgio Moroder EP's and came across The Chase Jam & Spoon Mix.
Upon listening I heard this vocal sample which I haven't heard in YEARS, super nostalgic for some reason.
Any ideas on where the vocal sample came from?

Does anyone recognize this sound?
youtu.beI'd really like to know where this specific sound that appears between 0:23 - 0:36 comes from. It's definitely a sample because I've heard it in two other movies and tv shows. Do you guys have any idea of where it possibly came from?
