Thanks!

Ah, good catch, thanks! I noticed that when I first started, then I guess I got used to it. Thanks for the reminder.

I put a slight ramp envelope in PD (it was so easy... just a vline~. The more I use PD the more it delights me.) so that the samples don't start so abruptly, which reduces the clicks. 

The samples were recorded by 6 different speakers in 6 different languages in 6 different ambiances, then were normalized to try to even them out. I didn't want to compress because the hits are all different velocities and I wanted to keep those dynamics. so I created an artificial ambience for the voices, so that they sound a little together. I basically fed the voices through a CAPS AMPIV (!) and then rolled off the low end to take off some of the noise, then fed the voices through a small-room convolution reverb to make it sound a bit more like the speakers are in the same room.

Hey, it's a late-1970's fatback/funk/disco groove, straight 4-on-the-floor, repetitive. Hydrogen does the job just fine. Nor does it seem to mind wearing a leisure suit and/or Sergio Valente jeans with a comb sticking out of its back pocket.  :-).
