Sampling and Beat Making

[Sativahhh]

wat is the better programs for sampling and beatmaking?

[pRoTeChTyAnEcK]

I don't think anybody is asserting that you should buy alot of equipment and it will certainly not make you a better producer, but there are options. Hardware is no more difficult to master than software. I'd say choose either one. It's all good in my book.

Ableton Live !! yeah FL is good, i used it for 6 years, while every other fucker on this site dissed me for it saying its shit, now i notice everybody is endorsing it, Reason is just mad difficult, talk about thrown in at the deep end :/ i'm gonna endorse the fuck out of Ableton Live, if you cant make a beat on there you're retarded, infact no, even a retard could do it...

And clearly a bunch of other shit lol, looking at that set up I would guess he does his synth work using FL as a recorder/sequencer and prob still his drums on the mps...sampling I'm sure he prob does vidi Midi control as well, tho he may still do some on the mp, but I get the feeling that lot of big producers use midi/software for their synth and sampling work but still use the old gritty drum machines for drums.

Not yet. Search Boon Doc on youtube and he'll show you something similar.

Hahaha, that picture is photoshopped.

Dre has musicians playing stuff for him to sample, so I've heard.

lol, what part? the screen only?

yea i heard he has musicians too but his beats still seem to have lots of synths in them, maybe he just got sick of listening to records lol either that or he had listened to most of the records he could realistically dig, either way that would be optimal to have people playing exactly the kind of notes you want

Yeah just the screen.

I think he has people just playing melodies for him and he uses the midi data on some serious VST's. Scott Storch who used to play keys for Dre said something about that in an interview.
