After watching Miguel Cabrera dominate major league pitching for 52 games only to be 3rd in All star voting behind Texixeira and Morneau, my new favorite is:

I plan on stuffng the ballot box every day and hope the mgocommunity feels the same way.  Maybe I'm drinking the Rod Allen "Cabby's a beast" kool-aid but with him hitting .351 with 15 bombs and 49 rbis, ranking 3rd, 3rd, and 1st respectively.....come on.  That being said, he'll be on the team regardless but it would be nice to see him start.

whole suite from same developer that allows you to make/mix some very cool beats and to open and re-mix other people's stuff. If you are not familiar with sound equipment it will take you a while to get started, but it isn't very hard to pick up once you get the hang of it.

Best way is to go into someone else's setup and see how they did it.

Pretty big library of samples and riffs to choose from.

to put your kids in front of, I hate letting my 5 year old son watch TV and I offer him this as an alternative and he LOVES it. I can actually use it as a small bribe, he likes it that much. The only downside is making sure he has plenty of time to use it as getting him off it after 10 minutes can be a bear.

As a musician, this is an awesome tool, and a great way to make music.  My suggestion would be to use more of the lower boxes to flesh out the bass side of the spectrum.

EDIT:  Try using diamond-shaped boxes if you like contrapuntal effects.
