from the response i got on a prior post it seems alot of people around here make their own music and even the same programs as me(fruityloops and cool edit pro). out of you people, who refrains from using sampled beats? who programs their own from scratch? care to share ideas on how to go about making a good break beat?
ive got a few ideas myself that i have always put into practice.

dingle berry? are you a representative of hardware manufacturers? Why do you feel you have to spend money on hardware to "get creative"
Shit you can get creative with anything... that is the point of being creative...
I would agree that having hardware with knobs to twiddle is _very fun_ but not the source of creativety.

At the mo i've only used vst - but i will soon enough integrate some samples (sample hits NOT breaks!!) ..
there isn't really a method to the madness .. I just stuff around till it sounds ok-ish to me .. the only thing for breaks i would recommend is using quite a few drum tracks (super impose).. ?? makes it easier than trying to fit it all on one track -

hardware is fun i agree but ive found i always liked the introvertedness of software ( i have no idea what i mean by that). that and i realised the only thing i ever made that was good was all software. so i ditched a few machines and kept a few as sound modules.
my idea for fruityloops though for making good speratic beats is to make one beat on pattern one and then copy it to the next 7 or so. then go through each pattern using the shift left function for all the notes. the way to get that to work well is to make sure you dont shift any two patterns the same amount. then you line them up however you like in the playlist and you get speratic beats. fun.

aint nothing wrong with making your own beats, its better that way (if you know what your doing) but sometimes people use the wrong samples or whatever and the instrument sounds dont complement each other.

Reason and software alike is the future.
Fuck the hardware shite. The only hardware you need is a dam computer.

Reason seems to be unlimited to me.. Only thing I have to use Cool Edit for is recording vocals or other old-fashioned instruments.
Beats should be made by yourself, so you can make mistakes right? mistake - learn - evolve. right?

1:Get fruity loops 2:set the bpm to a place between 240 and 300 3: put 20-30 different noises,snares,toms,kicks in a track. 4:randomly arrange them. 5:Cut up in cooledit.
