Minta Foundry Breakdowns

In this fourth episode, Al challenges you to create a sample without a grid or fixed tempo. Using one of his samples, he shows what challenges he had to face in doing so. This late 50s, early 60s inspired Jazz sample only features three instruments, but there are still tons of things to learn from this composition. From sample to finished beat, this episode looks at the whole process.
