5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST HIP HOP MUSIC CREATOR OUT THERE!, October 17, 2000

By 

RUSSELL (Cary, NC, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hip Hop eJay (CD-ROM)

This "Music Creation Game" is totally awesome. If you have ever wanted to scratch like a pro-dj, make phat raps, or even record your OWN raps this is the game. With over 1,000 loops, bass lines, raps, sound effects, voice recordings, your own scratches and more. There is two side screens other than the 6-line music creator that you drag&drop effects for the song the scratch and the recording studio. The scratch area is where you can scratch like a pro by draging your mouse to turn the record, drag your own sound effects into there and scratch the ... out of them. You can make a whole scratch line for your song or make a perfect scratch for your other songs. This is great if you can't afford all the expensive equiptment to scratch really! The recording studio is where you "record lyrics" or "effects" for your song. In all this is a phat 5 star game for anyone who has the talent of music creation.

1.0 out of 5 stars There are better products out there, July 4, 2000

This review is from: Hip Hop eJay (CD-ROM)

I strongly recommend you consider a different product, such as Acid Hip Hop, instead. Acid is a more flexible program, with a tempo that is adjustable during the song and with more simultaneous tracks (eJay has only 8), and it also has better samples.

I was hoping that the scratch editor would make this worth using, but it's totally broken. I was totally unable to get decent sounds out of it, and I *have* been able to get decent scratching out of other programs.

I simply cannot recommend this program to anyone.
