[ERN-DAWGY]

[J-Cee]

[snapple]

you dont have a keyboard yet u wanna make beats? youre not gonna have any fun dook.....and some programs are : acidpro, soundforge, fruityloops, etc....

[J-Cee]

so u make all ya sounds n shit from ya keyboard?what about ya songs where your using samples?

[benzo]

fruity loops is the easiest one by far. you should try it again sometime. it samples but it's real shitty compared to getting even a cheap sampler.

[J-Cee]

see i dont know shit when it comes to this..whats a sampler??post some links or someshit.

[J-Cee]

cause when i tried fruity loops,i couldnt figure outhow to change the sounds n shit in the middle of the song,and i only knew how to use there pre made drum loops and sounds in the program n shit,so i had nothing to work with.

Get Reason and a midi keyboard. But understand the program may take some time to learn all its intricasies (sp?) It takes some time to learn how to utilize all u have to work w/ but its definetly a good program for the money. I wanna say the latest version will run you about $400-$500. You can then couple that w/ Recycle to cut up samples like what you where talking about.

Word..
Reason is a really ill program, i know a few people who use it, only got positive things to say bout it..
i dont know how to use it... but if you use enough time wit it, shit is gon be tight

[zeppelin2k]

reason 3.0 + korg microkontroller midi keyboard with built-in drum kit sampler
recycle
acid

get those and start practicing

[Visionz]

^and pratice is really the key. A program might be tight as fuck but if you don't know what you're doing...........................then keep praticing till thats not the case anymore.

[J-Cee]

practice, if you get annoyed with fruity loops, dont even bother getting reason or cubase, you just gotta mess about with them, dont be afraid to experiment. if you see a button, or option, click it n see what happens.

your not gonna become a master beat maker over night man.

^the FUCK are you talking about??? El-P Fantastic Damage has some of the most amazing beats ever IMO. Did you hear his tracks on the new Mr. Lif album??? I guess he's just an aquired taste.
