The snap crackle pop is in the Quincy jones sample Summer in the city. It would simply be that way because the actual vinyl record J Swift owned was old, probably an original pressing from 1973. Notice fatlips verse, the sample is filtered (all the high pitch frequency is compressed into the low so you don't hear the crackling, then halfway through its unfiltered and you hear the organ and the crackling again. One of my favourite songs of any genre. Glad you enjoyed it.
@PacificCoastHustle4 ай бұрын
The snap crackle and pop is called “popcorn” it’s inherently in vinyl, especially with records that have been used. Some producers would enhance popcorn sounds with samples to make the songs grittier. Also, early EQing couldn’t remove popcorn sounds in all cases.

The crackling wasn't left in or applied. In the beginnings of hip-hop, we worked with what we had and had absolutely no way to take it out. People that didn't have the equipment to make their own beats, used a lot of samples. The crackling is incidental and sounded good. It was just there. It's like watching a movie and seeing insects in the background. You don't add them in or take them out. They're just there and it works. It's part of nature. It was later that people started to choose to add it in or take it out, and this was only after equipment had the ability to do so and people either wanted a clean sound, or a nostalgic authentic old sound. In the beginning, it wasn't a choice. I know... I was there.
