Do You Create Musical Beats?

where are the guys who use fruity loops and Reason, Put your hands up,

I use fruity loops 6, ACID Pro and Reason.
I prefer reason cos u can import midi files direct from your keyboard and do some sh^t that makes your output sound like live instrumentals. Fruity loops is kinda limited

Tried my hands on Fruityloops sometime.  Just too lazy with it.

Used to make beats back in school. In fact lots of cats had that going on at that time, and a lot of hours were spent making beats with FRUITYLOOPS(neptunes,Dr.Dre, Timbaland wannabes) and rap recordings were done in mini studios (rooms on campus), with microphones, sometimes keyboards using CAKEWALK software.

Cats had mad talents back then.

Does anyone know if the track in the Styl-plus album(Mase) was produced using fruity loops because I've been trying to mimic it and it's been tough. I did 6 other tracks on the album and I got it about 92 percent right. But Mase is giving me a tough time.

Everybody do great things in this thread. What happen is that I am base in Friuty Loops but someone told me that i should be using reason. I love Fruity Loop so much,  I fit is posible i will send you one of my Job.

I have fruityloops studio bundle7, but I must advice any aspiring musician/rap artist. For serious music you need cubase, which is the industry standard.
Fruityloops is just a sequencer, i prefer Ableton live, and if you are thinking of going through the rap route, get Ableton.

Guys, about how much will it cost if one wants to create a track to accompany an original song?

Hi guys,

I use Fruityloops, mix meister, cooledit pro, cakewalk, Sonar, Garage band etc and have been for the past six years. I have worked with lots of studios and producers like cobhams and the rest in Nigeria and a couple of others in France. I would be willing to render any assistance to anyone who is willing to learn or trade. we once floated a network called beatworks in an alliance with some other talented beatmasters, but our environment fraustrated the efforts.

I'm looking at another opportunity of educating folks now on the recent softwares that will paint the music industry red. I currently score music soundtracks for pay TV channels, websites as well as very rich upcoming artistes. I don't come cheap due to the quality of my work as well as the time spent on perfecting the work.

Hit me back and let me know you request.

hi there,
i make use of fruityloops and its da bomb, just depends on your creativity.
i also use acid pro and sound forge.
cool but still a small timer in beats

@Seun
I hope someone here can help you, mine is strictly for fun.

Hey Guys,
why don't we organise an exhibition of Beatworks? featuring various talents in the industry a least let us know each other, the pros and the upcoming. this will do us a lot of good in developing the industry. At least we can get to invite the likes of timberland and co someday to see what we have made out of their influence here in Africa.

I await your response meen, it's time we wake up.

About an exhibition, I was thinking of a TV Reality kind of thing where producers assemble and make beats - sometimes, they are given a set theme/song; some other times, they are allowed to make choice beat - freestyle.

Then in the course, they'll get to meet professionals like Cobhams, OJB, perhaps our friend here - SEGA.

I believe it will be a good xposure.

Nice beat.You tried oh

Most people here use fruity-loops, Why now?  Let everyone of you put there sample beat here and proof it.
