DAMN GREAT THREAD. How did you find all these? Do you have a list that I can have?

the one synth solo ("starts off slow") is freaky cuz dude is looking at somewhere off camera and he is not moving at all.

I use that shit. I own hardware too. But i dont use em anymore. Software is easier for me. I save a lot more time. People hit and poke on pads and think they're playing an instrument. That shit is easy too. Lets hear some hip hop beats made by a keyboard not some dudes showing us demo's of what these keyboards can do, what r those beats being used for? Lets hear some hip hop shit from a keyboard. I bet i can make a better beat then most of yall analoggers out there. Go ahead and use ur 8000 dollar keyboards and push buttons. I'll use this free pirated program that ranges from $150-$400 and just click away and still come fresher. southern comfort is delicious.

A keyboard is hardware light brite.
Stop lying.....It would be easier to convince someone if the example came from someone who could actually make a tight beat.you don't fit that description..If you had half the understanding of what was going on with that video then you probably would stay real quiet...I aint never dissed anyone but myself on here when it came to making beats I'm usually supportive but make a tight beat and maybe you may validate your point get ya weight up ...and stop drinking it's clouding your judgement

alot of old school heads dont like software. DJ Quik was bashing software a while ago saying that music doesnt belong on a computer. Its the same thing when old people say that computers are the devil. But like i said before, If Dr.Dre and Quik were using software programs to make beats everybody else would too.

When i hear people telling me they wanna get MPC's and $3000 plus keyboards/drum machines, it reminds me of that dude who used to go to the basketball courts with the new Jordan's, head bands, sweat bands, and all the tight gear but the poor guy just sucks. I dont use salt and lemons when i'm drinking Tequila.

Whatever the FUCK you use, it really don't matter. Just make some good $hit!, that's all it comes down to. Sound is Sound, it really doesn't matter where it comes from as long as it sounds good.

The only reason Software gets knocked so hard is because SO MANY people can get their hands on it (it's cheap or you can pirate), therefore there's bound to be a wide range of users, ranging from novice to expert. However since it's so inexpensive and or you can find pirated shit, software is usually the first thing novice users are going to pick up and unfortunatley it's the novice users that are the ones "showing off" their songs on Myspace, SoundClick, Youtube,... so they create that bad image for software. Fruity Loops is a major victim of this IMO. Since software is typically the first route novice users choose, that still doesn't mean it's a bad decision. I personally love software, I used to fuck with my bros MPC 2000, BOSS drum machines, Alesis Drummachines, I mean yeah their cool, but it's nothing I can't do with FL Studio or other software. I think it was just a big waste of money for my bro because he never really got all into it either. Why struggle, when you can have everything within your computer, in a nice organized, visual environment. I guess there's also the misconception that since software is so inexpensive or free, it must suck. That's completely wrong though, the only thing the software code is doing is telling the CPU how to create that particular sound, just as analog circuitry does. Yeah analog circuitry might create that coloration and sense of imperfection (which the human ear tends to like), but that doesn't mean software code can't emulate it. Software is a powerful thing, no matter how simple it can seem. A combination of both Software and Hardware is the way of the future. You can't go wrong with both.


Don't get me wrong, hardware is great, but for the average beatmaker, I think it's a risky thing to get into you. I think you REALLY have to THINK out what kind of setup your going to have. Otherwise it could be one big mess and waste of money. Atleast with software, you have a bit more freedom to experiment. Not to mention, software usually integrates very well with other software.

That's what I tell him about his beats. Seems like he never admits that he has talent though. I think his beats are the best on this site, when it comes to the FUNK.



This is one of my latest FUNK beats:

I don't understand why people don't make beats like this anymore. You can actually RAP/SING to shit like this, tell stories and what not. More soul.

Haha, I just made a beat called Bring Back The Funk. I'm a let you guys heard it with no tag but I'll probably take it down soon. I got some more too. They're slower ones.

Booboo, I like your basslines. I've noticed that your piano seems kinda thin though.

Sounds cool, but I think you need to lay off that BooBass. That BooBass don't sound too convincing. It just sounds waaaay too weak, there's no soul or energy in it. I think it's better for more of a sub bass, more lower octave stuff. It sounds pretty wack when you hit higher notes.

BTW, what Piano were you talking about? I didn't use piano in my last beat I posted up. It was actually a synth guitar.
