Mistake Beats

[Opera Populare]

anyone ever made a mistake like pressed the wrong button or clicked in the wrong spot and got some real hot shit right when u were ready to say fuck it that has happened to me many times

 

[Greg Savage]

Plenty of times.. not when i was fed upw ith a track.. but there are lots of times im playing something i i play something by mistake ands keep it

 

[PrOLifiK]

Yeah same here when I start making a track thinking im heading in one direction alot of times I end up doing something completely different

 

[KurtisRich]

yea sometimes i'll be showing somebody how to do this or do that then I randomly play a melody and sometimes i end up saving it because i like it.

Yea I think the mistakes can sometimes be our best asset while beatmaking.

I once had my SP-12 (not 1200; the original with the commodore 5 1/2" external drive!) hooked up via MIDI through my ASR-10 keyboard so I could use the pads on the SP-12 for the sounds on the ASR. So I had the ASR muted, and I was workin on using another drum line, to add SP-12 808's to the drums, but then I switched the ASR sound from drums to Rhodes, and turned it back up so I could play along with the drum line. The SP-12 was triggering some crazy ass sounds on the rhodes from the original drum pattern, and it sounded SICK. I was like "WHERE'S THIS SHIT COMIN FROM? WHO POSSESSED MY KEYBOARD?" (Back in 97 I wasn't as into procedures as I was just ready to hit a key or pad) But I made a sick ass beat that I sold the next day (also by mistake) for like $200.

And several times, it would happen where I would load the wrong patch on the same midi notes, and it would sound ridiculous and I'd use it, or layer it on top of the original sound.

Sometimes we have an outline in mind of what we want to start with, or what sounds we want to use, but when you open your beat later, fuck around with some different sounds and it can take you by surprise. Take your drum MIDI and select piano instead of drums and you may be surprised. 7/10 times it sounds dumb, but those other 3 times, you'll be like "Why didn't I think of that earlier?"

That happens to me all the time! My computer has a virus or something on it so everytime I plan a song on the computer it starts to sorta stutter every once in a while and it gives me an idea for a beat almost everytime. It seems like the computer just fits the right time to "loop".

[Sanova]

happens to me every now and again. Last time I got pissed cuz i couldnt get the melody right so i just banged on the keys and it came out hot as fuck so i kept it

 

[Papadukes]

Mistake Beats are ALWAYS the best beats. You cant REALLY get a good beat by forcing yourself to sit down and blow some killer shit. You have to stumble upon the melody, or accidently hit that offbeat that caught your ear. Thats what real beats are made of.
LOL!!
