Too many to list!!

Acid and Ableton are a few that come to mind right away...

But the most obvious one that you probably already have is... (drum roll please)...

Garageband!

Didn't that come with your MBP (it should have)? I'm pretty sure you can make your own loops in that (not 100% though... I have only used it a little bit).

 

[dwayneford]

yeah but i haven't been able to make my own loop wiht garage band.
would you likke to help.

Acid and Ableton?

What exactly are you trying to do?

Record a drum beat (say, like a four bar phrase) and make that into a loop? Or just get a drum loop up and running in Garageband? I need specific info....

Now that I think about it, I believe Acid only runs on windows... which could be fine for you if you don't mind using windows on your MBP (I saw in some earlier posts that you already use windows for gaming?)

ok yeah. i have to make a drum beat up for some song i am doing in a class. and i don't have a prob with that because i am a drummer. but i dont' have all the mikes i need to record it. so i was going to make it on the computher. i just wont to be able to do all the differnet parts of the drums such as hihat, snare, cymbals.... myself instead of taking the crappy ones they have in garage band.

but yes thank you for all the help

the 'crappy ones' they have in garage band? are you kidding me?

GarageBand is capable of ALOT more than you're giving it credit for. :sigh:

 

[dwayneford]

yeah that might be ture... but i still think its kinda dumb.
i don't wont to make beats for a hiphop song. i hate most hiphop.
not much talent

 

[macdude425]

You MUST be kidding. I've helped professional musicians make tracks in Garageband - pop and rock stuff. Don't call it dumb until you've fully explored it.

 

[mac_mogul]

but i still think its kinda dumb.

I think you're kind of dumb.

me + garageband + 20 minutes = this

GarageBand is ANYTHING but dumb. :sigh:

noob.

 

[dwayneford]
