You should keep working on that. :lol:

Nice! There's nothing like building your own. Considered building a "Hackintosh" at one point, but Windows works great for me so... never got around to it.

I intently and intensely work on it everyday. How has Reasons, Akai MPC Live, Roland System 8, Roland TR-8 with 7x7 Exp, Roland TB-3, Roland VT-4, and Roland MX-1 improved your composition?

Are you tracking all your gear into Reason?
What mixer are you using to sum all?
How are you syncing all of those pieces together?

They've improved them incredibly, because I enjoy the **** out of using them. They're just a blast together.
How I track depends on the mood. Sometimes I run my hardware standalone; sometimes I use Reason as the master and record everything in Reason; sometimes I run the hardware using Reason as it's own instrument and slave Reason to my Roland MX-1 on its own channel. Everything is synced via MIDI, of course (though I sometimes use Ableton Link for the MPC, since it's wireless).

But what does this have to do with you trying BeatMap to improve your mUsAk? :popcorn:

Beat Map doesn't interest me, I enjoy playing instruments. As far as the MUZAK, side of music publishing, it's doing well. I'm able to provide for my family, see them, make my own hours, stay out the rat race, live comfortable, travel, stay healthy and create music day and night.

Yeah, I’m pretty happy with my setup. Good times.

Naaah - Sweetwater FTW. Also, paid cash - which came from my TuneCore royalties from 1 single. I don’t need to support my family from that - it’s fun money.

My real job pays far more. . :lol:

$500 dollar productions contest, Mr Fun Money. Beat me and I'll pay you $500 and leave the forum. I beat you, you pay me $500 and leave the forum. But let's be real, you won't accept it. Because all you can do is post online. But to do this, you'll have to expose yourself and we know, Trolls like you don't like the sun.

So read this and go away from 2 days and pretend you didn't see it. :popcorn:

Damn Charles...
I understand he attacks your livelihood, and has some issue with you. Seems he has an issue with this forum as well, but you really think he would be a man and not only pay but honor that agreement?

Wouldn’t it be more fun to watch him try to justify himself, point and spudder at non”pc” words and concepts, and just all around show his ass on the internet.

Dudes just a troll, too stupid to see he’s a troll... not worth no time money or energy. He has similar interactions with people on other forums, so it’s not here, us or “trolls”. It’s him, his attitude and 87 IQ that cause him this stress.
