This is just me, 'Shad...im 18 now and FINALLY out of high school, been workin wit fruity loops for a while...its starting to frustrate me though...because all of the samples included are solid and chunky..e.x. the piano samples ...they don't really flow or create a melody thus creating extra work for I, the producer. I want to get a beat machine, but for one I don't have the ends/dough/paper/green..whatever you want to call it..and two..I would have to take the time to learn how to hook it up to my computer and learn the ropes...time which I dont have gettin settled in college (Tuskegee in Alabama, holla at me) and with an active social life...so hopefully, I'll get one someday...until then, fruity loops will have to do..
na, don't play live..I sell a couple cd's with my beats to people but thats about it..
The Neptunes are hot right now...Just Blaze is on the rise...Timbo...Trackmasters...Swizz Beats every now and then....Kanye West....nowadays I'm hearing more and more about Green Lantern..gotta show props to Rodney Jerkins A.K.A DarkChild...he's one of the best in the biz..
Fruity Loops...as mentioned before
