  • We take a crack at another hip hop classic, The Pharcyde's "Passin' Me By"... perhaps J-Swift's most well-known track. For educational purposes only.
    CORRECTION: after being contacted via The Pharcyde's official Twitter account, I'm told that J-Swift didn't do the production despite being credited with having done it on the record. Production credit remained a contested issue after the fact. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarre_...

      +Sam Alexander there's a guy called sandurz here on CZcams that does something similar but he doesn't really talk about his feelings about the track or Biography stuff about the producers

    I think you have the bitcrushing thing a little bit backwards. Low-pass filters were included in vintage samplers to help get rid of the hissing sounds introduced by having low sample rates and bit depths. Users were supposed to use the filters to manually dull out the hiss, but some went way to far with it on purpose to isolate bass lines. So when trying to emulate vintage samplers, you should bitcrush the sample first, then apply whatever filtering is needed. Although in cases like that when you're filtering down to the bass, bitcrushing it first doesn't really matter 'cause you're filtering out everything that the bitcrusher added in the first place. Hope that made sense, and P.S. Please start making videos again! We all love em!

    There's a very distinct static missing...it was on my tapes...cd...and mp3. Was it a sample or? It wasnt on this. if anyone else is still checking out this let me know.

    No prob, and cool man. And I think I found the horn sample, if that is what you're looking for. I submitted it to Whosampled, but I haven't gotten a confimation email yet. But here is the link to it. The sample is at the beginning.

    The Jimi Hendrix sample aren't backwards drums, that's him scraping the pick over muted guitar strings.

    • @mouminosman7992

      I have a feeling its both backward drums and scraping the guitar strings

    The Hendrix sample has reversed symbols, but it's mostly a muted guitar strumming played backwards. Cool video though.
