Armed with a Linux box and open source software I set out to sample Steely Dan. Yeah, that open source drum program really didn’t cut it. Shortly afterwards I ended up buying a Mac which I felt was a doable “compromise” from my “open source/anti-windows” roots!

Before I had anything like Reason or even Garage Band I was trying to experiment with making a beat with a bass line. I ended up sampling my guitar on my Linux box using Audacity and dropping the tone and adding a bass boost effect.

Yeah, well it didn’t turn out that well but I worked with what I had at the time! I was also using some open source drum machine and a Prince Paul sample which no doubt was from something he sampled!
