Yeah I was at fenway park in boston watchin the redsox,after The game we was outside the park and I seen a guy bangin some buckets with drum sticks,so I already know its possible to make music with limited resources...I know beats can be made with fruity loops, i think you are puttin alittle extra on it as it being a secret weapon in there arsenal,It wouldve been more beleivable if you said a studio440 or an old dmx, or a lin9000.Lets keep it real for those that are users of fruity loops,its for the mostpart because this all they could afford when they started makin beats,this is what they are comfortable with and stuck with it and thats cool whatever works for ya,I have yet to here of anyone trading in there sp1200,mpc,for fruity loops,although some have for laptop with other software,I have two friends and they have used alot of equipment,one still has alot the other has a room filled with equipment here is a list but i might have forgotten some stuff,and I aint talked to him in months

software(im not thinking he needs fruity loops newest update)
oh yeah alot of synths have the expansion cards maxed out
Yeah he has software and even made a few beats with reason,but when you have flexibilty in these machines with a sound that cant be duplicated then why are ya gonna use fruity loops?
