hey guys, been a minute!
i've had pt9 for about a month now...you really need to make the switch if you have 8 le. being able to mix on my laptop on campus at school with just an ilok is really indispensable. if you travel a lot, this thing will change your LIFE! hahah.
haven't made a beat in a while. haven't flipped a sample in a life time. here's a quick one i did of this one. real simple:

jehfree - digging the drums. nice swagger to it.
sol - the snare goes hard. me likey. nice and gritty...
honestly, if you just keep on making beats there's absolutely no way your own style won't develop. everyone likes their little nuances differently, and it'll come naturally if you just make beats over a long period of time
