hey all, i had some trouble loading native waves onto my laptop im thinking because its a cracked copy and the new version of windows doesnt enjoy the crack so much. any idea what other dx or vst plug ins i could try? i have alot of semi ok ones with fruityloops but the native waves ones were top notch so im looking for something to replace those. maybe looking to trade...
anyone know of fun freeware shareware hacked cracked or trade-able programs out there?

everyone says things like that, for audio and graphics they say macs are better but still no one has ever given me one bit of reason why it is. it just is? not good enough of an answer for me. plus.. i can do anything i want on my computer already. im quite happy with the sounds i can make and the flexability i have (well at least i was until i lost the native waves package, but still). so if im happy with what i have then why change?

the mac menu is much moe accessable than the start button on windows. you have more control with macs, and the mac mice only have 1, big button to push, which is definately a plus.

the start up menu comment seems a bit silly... tell me what you mean by more control?

the commands. instead of doing things by moving the mouse everywhere, you can do, for example, 'command Q', and that will quit a program.
the way the mac windows are set up is also much easier than windows.

hm.. still sounds like odd things to make someone think they are sooo much better.
and the one button thing.. eh.. are two buttons that much of a hassle?

I've heard of protools, but I've never used it before...some sort of music program that uses midi...

You can customize a PC. More (cracked) programs available.
Macs aren't necessarily better. They just come with free music and video programs on them (and honestly, they look pretty shit).
IMNSHO, Macs and PCs are equal.

Protools .. if you really want to know check www.digidesign.com
In a nutshell it does what Cubase/Logic/Cakewalk etc. does. ie. Audio/Midi sequencer kaboosh. Only, Protools can come in systems of several tens of thousands of dollars (which includes mastering shit, mixers and flash equipment they use in studios n that).
Midi compared to Logic and Cubase (and I'm pretty sure the others) is very shit. Audio tho is meant to be (with a Protools system) un paralleled. .. ?
Either way .. protools Free is quite a fun program one can play around with, and its got pretty cool pitch bend and time stretch ???

i was never happy with reason. i personally thought it was highly over rated especially considering it doesnt support vst or direct x effects. but i do know some pretty good local artists who use it so apparently it is useful. but most everything is useful to some extent.

windows has keyboard short-cut commands to shut down and open programs like a mac.. you can buy a one button mouse for windows and set the mouse properties setting in control panel for a one click mouse.. you can custom the START menu pretty easy... more muzick software is supported on windows, more sound cards are supported on win... macs are not more stable from my experince.. i use them at the college comp lab and thier macs freeze and crash 20% more often than windows.. although those window boxes are using error-checking ram..
protools are for well PROfessionals.. master all the so called "weak" software then if you have the money and experince buy protools... the version of protools my friend has is a hardware/software package.. he never went into detail about the hardware part but i'm guessing its a special midi interface sound card that was made just for protools software... alot of artists use protools now, but when they were struggling and putting out thier first album/demo, i doubt they had $1,000 plus to spend on protools...

PEOPLES PEOPLES HUSH! PRO-TOOLS is the mutz nuts and if you go to the DIGI-DESIGN web-site you can download a free 8 track version!
i use the full version at college and its lovely with amazing timestretch function and fantastic control! the full version is a bit expensive, though there are about three versions of it each getting a bit cheaper but less powerfull and i even think you can get it for the pc though i prefer the good old g4!
wow how come you folks are on about pro-tools i thought this site was full of fruity loop amatures?

Dude, fruityloops is just a tool. Its the musician that makes the music.
I use over 150 different programs. Fruityloops is just one of many.
