Hip Hop Artists Developing Open Source Beat Making Software
First time accepted submitter caseyb89 writes "Beat making software is incredibly expensive, and the high price limits usage to those who can afford it. Two professors at UNC have a dream of allowing all artists access to beat making software, regardless of income level. They are rallying the community on a project to create open source beat making software. The two professors double as DJs and hip hop artists, and they recently spoke at Rio+Social."
Fruity Loops.
I'm not even kidding either. It started out as a toy and has evolved into a multi-featured medium-end DAW and is popular among the hip hop community. It's easier to figure out than real products like Cubase or Ableton, which helps it appeal to the hip hop crowd where the most intelligent songs sound like "I'm a big n*gg*r and I like to fuck bitches".
"Beat making software."
This just confirms my theory that "Hip Hop" is not a real form of music. No talent is required in it's creation. Soon enough I'll be able to write a script that combine sound samples and replace all human Hip Hop "artists" (depressingly enough I'll probably do this before I master playing the electric guitar).
You can add Electronica, House, Rap and Dubstep to the things that can be automated (probably will in a few years).
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
Sorry, you're sentence is not making sense. How can these two go together?
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
