There is definitely a transformation when you slow something down that much that the notes become elongated and sound like different instruments.

It would be the equivalent of playing the Troy horn riff on a guitar six time as fast as the OG. It’s going to sound different.

You're not understanding what I'm saying, you can make something sound better ie different by slowing it down or speeding it up
that doesn't make it unrecognizable

and just because it's recognizable doesn't mean it was easy to make it into a beat

What favorite example I like to give is Just Blaze You Don't Know beat

You can hear the original sample and see clearly this where he got the sample from, but you can't figure it, is how he got the sample to sound like it did

Texture of the sound is very different, he probably played horns over it on the keyboard, then sampled that, and chopped it to make it loop, or some shyt, still this day I can't figure out how he made that beat out of that sample, and even though I know


here somebody remade the beat the exact same way, even found the OH NO and the Do you believe samples from another song to put in the beat, and it doesn't have the same texture as the just blaze beat, the vocals don't ring out the same, it doesn't sound triumphant, it has nothing to do with the mastering or sound quality, but how just blaze crafted the sample sonically



it's more to sampling than just chopping, and looping

You're overcomplicating what Just Blaze did here. He pitched the horns up at the beginning of the original and added some vocals over the top, thats it.

In terms of the triumphant feel you're talking about, thats just mixing. He EQd the horns and probably added reverb to it, there's not really much complex about this beat, its a dope beat, but theres nothing mindblowing about how he made it.

If you wanted to use an example of someone doing some crazy shyt with samples you should have used some RZA or madlib shyt.

It's not just the mixing, He processed the sample I just posted you someody who remade the beat they pitched, the same way, everything is identical except the texture of the sample, it's not EQ, which just raisers or lowers volume of frequencies, it doesn't sound the same,

Depends on how much you speed it up or slow it down. The more you slow or speed the less recognizable it becomes.

Yeah I hear you, there's a million different things that could be down to.. Tape saturation, distortion, bit crushing, all types of effects, the equipment he used .. That's one thing we'll never know.

Thats the beauty of beat making, no matter what you do its hard to completely duplicate another man's beat because you don't know the small details behind it.

Hav might be the best ever at changing the pitch to make things unrecognizable. This is real similar to what we did on Eye For An Eye and Shook Ones 2

What’s the eye for an eye sample?

Edit:


Never noticed this…damn havoc flipped this into an all time grime classic
