Beaterator is actually coming out -- and soon

+1

I LMAO when I read that.

I agree. I grew up on Mario Paint and I turned out pretty creative myself. It's rare that gems like that ever surface on todays consoles.

If you have a bit of money to spare, I'd suggest picking up Reason 4.0.
It's hands down one of the best tools you can get your hands on to create beats or any other form of music really. Just like with FL, you probably want to get your hands on some more soundbanks or preferably your own samples.

Agreed with both of you guys.

They're both quality programs, though you'll probably approach your projects in different ways. IMO FL Studio seems much easier to get into for beginners, but the depth there is really surprising once you're willing to put in the time. With Reason, I kinda feel like you don't have to dig far to find what you're looking for but it can seem kinda overwhelming at first. I myself like to jump between the two. Lately I've been dabbling with Ableton but that's a major resource hog on my system. :(

Orion platinum is also quite good. But I have a feeling we are missing something by bringing out the names of these big computer apps. Many things, actually.

1. None of the apps mentioned here can fit on a portable device rendering all discussions about it in relation to this app a completely fucking moronic douchy move akin to idiots who troll GH news articles with "Why don't you learn a REAL guitar, fucking losers."

2. If one was actually going to PAY for the programs mentioned here, which odds are, we weren't even remotely discussing legitimate users, we're talking $100 at the cheapest, Reason, I believe, is $400. Beatarator isn't priced at that point nor are they designed to compete.


In other words, if you want a quick and portable beat generator to get something out while you're away from your studio, that's what this is for. Or as an introduction to the bigger apps. But if you're trying to say a $400 suite is going to be more versatile and in depth than a $30 PSP game, fucking duh. Seriously, die in a fire.

Yes, because laying out premade loops in an app like this and creating a fairly unique sound as you get better is SOMEHOW less deserving of that pretentious that 99% of the Fruity Loops worthless fucks doing the same thing with soundloaded banks on a bigger computer.

Remember kids, money invested is 100% the legitimizer of musical talent, so says MystileArmor. And don't let the millions upon millions of really shitty techno on the net created by a computer and a lazy jackoff dissuade this notion.

That's pretty much what I was trying to say, really..

Lol masturbating game.... that was hilarious bro.

Or the big guy in Chris Brown's prison cell had is hand in this too.....
