Yall Look,im from the oleskool,sp-12.mpc 60,eps samplers,an my whole focus was always the beat,if your sh..t is weak its just weak,i have owned a asr-10,mpc 2000 an other gear,came into money problems an had to downsize,on my down time cats was telling me i could rock beatz on my computer..i was like whatever untill i tried it out,an pretty much it was a wrap from that point,as long as i could reproduce the same results i was down wit it,the key was a quality soundcard an some type of controller.

Flstudio is a gem if you know the fundamentals of beatmaking in the 1st place,NO!!! Belive me its not a toy by no means.its the garbage in,garbage out consept,its only as raw as what you load into it,just as with any other sampler,I just got a mpc 1000 on some street ish,an i just cant get back into it,ive fell in love with the detail i can view my samples in,an the instant editing i can accomplish with the cpu,its alot guicker..................

i still enjoy the benefits of the hands on approach an the advantages of technology,do my beats sound any better?(NOPE)did i discover a more efficent work format?(YEP) an thats what its all about,use whatever fits your work style,you might say oh!! he just saying that cause he had to sell his machines,but 4real FLstudio has help me grow as a beatsmith,an i look at it like dis, alot of your hardtimes are just blessings in disquise..holla!!
