Do you have friends that make beats?

just wonderin how it is to have a friend who makes beats? learn anything from em? share samples at all? cuz i dont have any - some ppl i know love to **** with flstudio and make "club bangers" n shit all the time but i dont really **** with em like that

other than my mentor who is to old to have time for music cause ofcthe wife and kids, i'm the only one that uses a mp, have friends that use logic and pro tools but its that banger shit too. so no

my nephew gave me acid pro 3 or 4, then fl studio. that was all needed to get my hands on, i always had tons of records & tapes, Cd's. back in the day mpc's & sp1200 were to expensive to get. So i have to give credit to my nephew for the constant push to keep at it! young cat went and built him self a state of the art studio with his wife, she even sings on a lot of his stuff!! much respect!!!

Yeah, a good friend of mine does.

And he does HD music videos as well.

I have no friends that make beats. Though I do have several friends and associates who play instruments, engineer or produce in the old form I don't have any who make beats. The only people I know who make beats are those online and I don't talk to them often enough nor have I met them in person for it to count. Sometimes I wish I did have such friends but everybody I seem to find that make beats locally either seem to be mostly about entourage and posturing, make music I don't like or aren't interested in what I do like, or I only meet them in passing. You get over it though.

I know one guy who is an acquaintance who has an MPC... doesn't know how to use it and I dont think he made a beat on it yet...

dude also made a beat or two on garage band-no comment.


I make music with a friend for our two person experimental music group... but we dont make beats.

Didn't had but have now. Not many who use an mp btw. Most of them FL and Logic.
Amsterdam is a small community. A lot of time I run into other mc's beatmakers at party's and stuff like that.

Sorry no friends unfortunatly.

One of my best mates got me into making beats back in '95. I just used to sit in on sessions while he was messing around with the S950 and Atari ST. Good times...

Another one of my best mates had a 2k classic, and being able to mess around on it convinced me to buy the 2kxl.

ya my older brother got me into making beats. its funny cause before i even got into making beats i used to come through to his old studio all the time with b*tches and brews and he'd be trying to show me stuff and I just didnt really give a f*ck. now you probably couldnt get me out of there. other than that I have a few other buddies that make beats here and there

I know a lot of people 'making beats' on cracked software versions of whatever program, I dont know a single soul that is even willing to invest a little in to this thing we do so I just ignore people like that lol.

Got a couple people i know that make beats.. it fun to try and one up a track.. like one does.the melody one drops the drums then back and forth till fhe songs over.99% of the people u meet in this game will never and should never be allowed to work as hard as you. My friends are engineers.
