GC Coleman was a session drummer, so the break had nothing to do with The Winstons other than it was on their recording. All that well-meaning talk about how money should have gone to The Winstons was wrong (legally, sure, as the owners of the recording but Coleman would still have died in debt). They weren't even the songwriters of the track.
Context dependant. 200bpm breakcore isn't going to require 'swing' or 'groove'. You want it to be as brutally quantized as possible. 120bpm trip-hop? Yeah probably leave it unquanitized.
Well you want to at least make sure the break has the beginning and end set properly., and probably the beginning of each measure as well if nothing else, but most of the groove lives in the ghost notes in any case.
"Don't get too fussy, it'll slow you down" needs to be on a post-it somewhere i can see it at all times! Maybe even a tshirt...
This series needs to be saved offline and preserved in case of a mass blackout for future generations
Amen Ned Rush.
Thanks again for all the fun

Good idea! I love it. 👍
Hats off this is a great idea
You started with the god of all breaks 😂
Anyways love to see how someone processes an amen
Thanks Ned. Play on, play on. . .
Good stuff as always! But isn't the quantizing taking away the power of the break? Or am i getting too fussy?
Thanks to winston brothers for inventing jungle riddims

Starting with Amen. It's all downhill from here!
A is for Apache too
Yes!
And Ashley's Roachclip, Are You My Woman, Assembly Line, Action, Alligator Bogaloo, A Funky Song, Attica...
quantizing breaks is missing the entire point, you just got rid of all the swing that makes it groove wtf
