Filthy Beat Making - itijik Quick Beats featuring Elektron Digitakt

Published on Apr 10, 2019 itijik

"Sampled one of the feedback sounds from my last vid and built a filthy beat around it.
Also got a little turntable action in there too, I will be practicing and improving as I go to get timing tighter and also to be able to reproduce quickly. Sampling the output has been inspiring...the natural imperfections give it so much life!

itijik Production Club

Supporting MATRIXSYNTH member itijik has announced a new production club through his Patreon site. Details follow:

"The purpose of the itijik Production Club is to help all members constantly improve their sound and music, spark inspiration to release more music, reach individual goals, achieve commercial success if desired by the truly dedicated. Good sht. But sometimes even the most talented can lose the “good sht” in the details. I hope the positive vibe, direction and schedule of the club will also help push through mental and creative blocks for those struggling in some way. I’ll be providing samples, tools, stems, and presets to play/work with each month, and eventually I will be streaming production live with chat and Q&A!

There’s monthly song challenges in what I’m calling The Chop Shop. This is a monthly showcase and promotion of club member’s work. They also serve as a way to practice and share new song and production ideas. No doubt this community will be supportive of each other, give constructive feedback, share samples and get some collaborations going.

Here’s how the Chop Shop works:
itijik and other members will add any of their own royalty free samples they want for that month’s sample pool. These can be anything from a professionally recorded bass line, to a dog fart recorded on your phone. These will be made available to all members without any strings attached, and your output will be fully owned by you. No worry of sample clearance or ownership getting in the way, if you happen to make a masterpiece in the process.

Participating members will then have a month to work on a piece of music using ONLY the samples taken from the pool. This could be very challenging, depending on the sample pool. Anyone looking for improvement in music production should see this as a huge opportunity to showcase yourself and your ideas, learn new techniques and tools, keep your production schedule moving and inspired, and a way to network with similarly motivated creatives. Some dope collaborations and projects are inevitable!

I will share some of my favorites on IG and other social media channels at the end of each month for member promotion.

All music production materials are free to use in commercial projects or otherwise with no royalties expected. However, wouldn’t it be cool if some chose to include a credit and/or small percentage of releases to members submitting material they connect with? This could develop working relationships for potential collaborations or deals in the future! Try to give more value without expectations and see what happens to the vibe.

One of The Values and Differences of the club will be the maximum member count. It’s limited to 1000 people at anytime and will NEVER be increased.

The exclusivity of monthly production materials is special. With some of those sample subscription services you are sharing that pool of samples with MILLIONS of people. They’re all using the same samples, and the majority are probably using the good stuff pretty open in their works. No wonder loads of music released now just fades into the background, they all sound the same! Let’s not just blame the samples though. There’s more that goes into production than just good samples. And this club/collective is more than just an exclusive version of those sample subscriptions.

We are focused on technique, improvement and vibe; Creating and innovating our own voices in music and sound. This smaller group allows for focused attention to get heard in context of your own skill level and progress. Everyone benefits from a tighter network of people with similar goals. It forms an actual community rather than a sea of unknowns with unknown intentions. A meeting place to explore your musical ideas and have some context to chat about them.

The Price is low for good reason. Minimum club dues is $5 per person, per month. This makes the club more accessible, but it still shows a level of commitment to your craft and drive by investing in yourself. There aren’t multiple levels of membership, $5 and you’re in with us! You have the option to pledge more than the minimum, but there is no additional benefit offered other than my gratitude. The minimum from you and other members will afford me the time to operate the club and create production materials for it.

Let’s make more music with Worry Free, Royalty Free Licencing. All production materials will be released throughout the month, but licenses will cover the lot of that month’s material. When you pay your dues for the month, you are licensed to use them as you like in commercial projects or otherwise, as long as they aren’t used in isolation or re-distributed in any way.

The Production Material License covers each member’s collection of monthly lots of audio samples, presets, stems, DAW project files or any other music production material files provided by itijik and other members. Other members can voluntarily contribute their own royalty free content and materials to be featured in club events including the Chop Shop. All of the production material will be licensed royalty free to all members that have paid the dues for the month they are released, which is limited to 1000 licensees per month of material. It is the full responsibility of contributors to submit only royalty free material.

There’s a few Bonuses available to you right now when you sign up!
If you know someone that belongs in this club, get them in now! As long as the total member count is below 1000, each current member gets one referral per month. If you get a friend to sign up I’ll give a month of dues back to you.
If you have purchased any of my sample packs in the past, I will give a month of club dues back to you when you sign up.
The collection of itijik sample packs are also included when you sign up within the month of August 2019! 'Brutal Kicks', 'Brutal Snares' and 'Toy Piano' are all included for your use. "

itijik - LK1 Brutal Bass Bounce - Free Loop Kit!!!!!

Published on May 27, 2018 itijik

Download: http://itijik.com/lk1/

"itijik – Loop Kit 1 – Brutal Bass Bounce
15 Loops/Stems

LK1_BrutalBassBounce is a loop kit recorded from the Arturia Drumbrute through various eurorack modules and effect pedals. Time was taken to craft the sounds to be more full and saturated. This leaves more meat to work with so you can tailor it with EQ and effects to make your own unique sound….or you could leave it as is and enjoy the “Bass and Dirt”
Included are all individual drum instruments and main loop, with FX and without. I have also included a noise profile for creative sound design or denoising. Have fun and make some noise!

SYNTH RELIC by itijik - Pro Club 0420

Published on Apr 7, 2020 itijik

"Full beat at: 04:12

Introducing the Synth Relic! "The evolving synth box of wonderful circuit hacks from the retro future." Right now it consists of two analog filters with some tweaked out resonance paths. The raw materials here are actually just tests from the build. I've got new circuits and hacks planned for the Relic. Its gonna get siiick.

As always, the stems/samples are available exclusively to Pro Club members. This time I rendered out the drums and useful layers as samples as well. The drums are based on the Nox drums of course, so I thought it would be dope to add new versions and some from scratch to the collection as we go!

Mister Rogers would be proud of this remix! - itijik Dollar Crate Sessions

Published on May 6, 2018 itijik

"Dollar Crate Sessions is about exploring the art of sampling using dollar records found at thrift shops. The abandoned vinyl that didn’t fit in their collection. The badass record that gets a scratch and is tossed in the garbage. One man's trash is another man's treasure!

For this session I had my Instagram followers pick out of three records, and they chose none other than Mister Rogers, 'A Place Of Our Own'! I recorded a lot of raw material by manipulating the turntable and the new Echo System by Empress Effects. I created a few sounds on the Elektron Digitakt, but the majority of the work was done in Ableton Live. This is a different approach for me, but I love how it worked out...even though it takes a little longer ;) There's a lot of good stuff I haven't included because it didn't fit the final beat I chose, but that just means more to play with later!

Thanks for watching my videos, I hope you enjoy! Leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Beats evolved through Digitakt

itijik

WARNING: Watch your volume levels at the start of this one.

"Digitakt is a looping beast. Just build a beat, copy the pattern, mangle the sounds...repeat. I went through 4 versions of the same beat letting it evolve into what you hear.

00:00 Time fabric loop
00:07 Begin
00:58 Cruising the glitch fields
01:38 Searching for alternate dimensions
02:20 This one seems cozy
06:36 Hacking dimensional firewall
07:46 Low frequency modulation attack
08:14 Access Granted
09:01 Scan for punks
10:00 Reboot
10:36 Progress Bar
10:56 Recovering the hack
11:45 Decoding time crypt
12:49 New thread
13:55 Target locked
14:03 Dimension unstable, shutting down.

Samples used include selections from Comakid's new pack, Dusty Guitar Shots. The drums/percs are taken from the itijik NOX drum series, and a quick bass was recorded in direct from the moog lp.

All itijik Collective members will get a selection of samples from each pack our squad makes, royalty free, for their own projects! I've already posted download links for the original samples used on the discord server, so be sure to join up if you haven't already. https://itijik.com/join/collective"

Listen To The Sample Fairy! - itijik Quick Tips

Published on Apr 3, 2019 itijik

"While using the same 'Summertime' sample from my dj jazzy jeff homage, I heard a fairy whispering in the harmonics...Sometimes you can hear little melodies and hidden notes while processing samples. I take these as cues and sometimes even use them directly as I did here. Pay close attention to your samples to find the magic!

itijik BLOOD in the STREET (Kendrick Lamar Acapella)

video upload by itijik

New from supporting member itijik.

"I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept
I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Shooters on top of the building, government aid ain't relief
Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks
The poor run with smoke lungs and Scarface
Who need a hero? (Hero)
You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero
Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero)
My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle
Mass destruction and mass corruption
The souls are sufferin' men
Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'
It's all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good"

THE iNEViTABLE by itijik | Pro Club 0220

Published on Feb 23, 2020 itijik

"Dark vibes, texture, big sound...a little creepy. Can't help but have these dark pieces come out. I'm working with both Fvrewell and Ypsi Kid on two separate dark projects. Different ideas, but I think some of the vibe crosses over. If either of you are feeling these more than the private ones I sent you, let's run with it.

The club get's the "MASTER'D" version with my idea of how to shape the sound. If you're a club member, I'll get you the raw audio if you think you'll use it for something.
