Cool  I like how the Jensen's ripped that track up!  So smooth.  The intro til the end.  its energetic.  I like the way they dropped the intro.  I need to work on some banging intros  for our track. I'm so jealous.  I suck with my intro, my intro's are way too boring haha.  And at the end it smooth dude.

I wish I can upload the track here.  I need to fiddle around with the cms settings or something.

Its gonna be so saweet once it gets released.  Imagine the possibilities,  I'm not sure how good it will work on the samples that I'll be chopping, but it will sure open up a whole new level of creativity for me :) I know a lot of sampler is looking forward to it.  Not only will it help with the creativity but it will be nice to what we all can come up with on a different horizon.  

I could also sample myself playing a couple of chords on the keyboard or better yet play some chords on my guitar and messed around with it. The ideas are endless hehe

Cool

See I dont stop learning. Sometimes I just make music, whatever it comes out I'm happy with it.  It'll end up being a jazz type of beat, a r&b, pop, and sometimes club stuff. And once in a while it'll turn into Linkin Park type of beat lol. So if foo's wanna step foo best educate themselves and get better at their  creativity. haha jp.  Much love to the people that loves making music.

I saw one a while back at a pawn shop while visiting my mom in Nebraska.  They wanted too much for it and it was missing the start up disk I believe.  Otherwise as a music junky as I am I would have cop that bad boy up :)

CRT's LOL.  I think it's about that time to upgrade :)
