Only thing is - I can't hear the drums without the bassline in it, maybe everyone re-sampled from the Ultra Magnetic MC's - Give The Drummer Some track???

Eunomius Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 The break from "There Was A Time" is only attainable if you pan the sample, taking the drums from the right channel and leaving out the bassline from the left channel. This is what I've read from several sources about Paul C. I don't have the record itself, but I've been warned that not every version of the tune is the same. I've been looking for a copy of the 45 for years, but no luck. The song is also on the Dee Felice LP, "In Heat," but this may be a version without the break. I've actually tried to loop up the break from Give The Drummer Some but I could never get a coherent beat out of it. But I was using the LP version, so it's very possible that there's a cleaner sample on the Bonus Beats version included on the 12" release, which I don't have. The problem with GTDS is that the Funky Drummer is also layered over it, so I don't know if you can get a clean loop of the "There Was A Time" break alone.

Ornette Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ahhh, thanks Eunomius. I was waiting for your reply :wink: The break from "There Was A Time" is only attainable if you pan the sample Ahhh, I was wondering about that, and whether this wasn't actually an example of this Paul C working his mastery of sound and magically lifting the drums from the track!!!? Admittedly I did notice after - in that link you posted - they mentioned the original 7" has the drums & bassline panned from one side to the other - so I guess thats what it is. Still, I did also read in the article the quote from Large Professor stating his amazement how Paul C stripped the drums out of "I Know You Got Soul" (wtf??!!), so... well... who knows... maybe the article got it mixed about this Dee Felice break after all I noticed they cited the "Do The James" riddem - this they got wrong - its not B.I.G.'s "Dreams" (what? don't they mean Lil' Kim?) that used it later, but Ashanti's "Makeup To Breakup" remix. Which, might I add, is even fatter than the Super Lover Cee original - trust me, I actually checked when the tune came out. So, for now, Phokus, no clip unless someone passes me a MP3 of the original 7" or you wanna make a clip of the Ultra Magnetic tune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phokus Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 So, for now, Phokus, no clip unless someone passes me a MP3 of the original 7" or you wanna make a clip of the Ultra Magnetic tune? hmm, I've only got the album version of the Ultramagnetics tune, and if you can't actually get the break out of it, I'm not sure it's worth putting up as the example clip. Will have to find the bonus beats version to see if it was sampled from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornette Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I hear it clear at the beginning of the track... The 'Funky Drummer' is only layered over the chorus (and cut in as a switch every so many bars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phokus Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 actually, yeah, you're right... and frankly I think it's more likely to have been sampled from UMCs rather than the original funk track, given the scarcity of the track. Shall we re-write the original post as being a second generation break sampled from UMCs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eunomius Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I don't know why I forgot about the clean drums on the intro. I have a loop of this I made a while back ready to upload as a clip. Still not sure if I like how it sounds at faster tempos though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornette Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 If you mean the Sons Of A... tune then yes its not the main break. You can hear the Dee Felice break overlaid over sections later on into the tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
