Thread is off, you do know how beat makers was creating cuts back in the days before all this hardware and software?

Some people were making beats with one of these:

Trust me nothing gets the creative juices flowing more than being underfunded and bored.

Marley Marl was in his living room cranking out classic material and had Ru$$ell $immon$, and his team of producers scrambling.

It's the workman not his tools essentially, you wanna get something done you will usually find a way to to do it, if you want it bad enough that is.

What happened to real instruments?

Do kids know what an instrument is?

who's got money for damn instruments, musicians and the room to jam... that is why labels are important for that otherwise, improvise and do it simpler with the tools you have, that is what rap is about.

Does it really take being in a studio to be a producer though?

I've been producing music on computers for almost 15 years now. I just use my laptop, Native instruments Maschine and my tascam portable digital recorder and make music wherever.


I had a big studio that's now been reduced to just those...and I can still make good music.

T/S has no idea what he is talking about. nikkas dont even use Protools to make beats. They use it to mix.


What he is talking about is fruity loops. And even still he is talking about 05 Fruity Loops. FL made a ton of upgrades, they are legit nowadays.
