HIP HOP Songwriter/Song-Creation Software...any such animal...???

Doubtful.

But I've been wrong before.

Oh... you want it to actually write for you? That's no fun... but yeah... I'd check out Ableton anyway. You can download a free demo from their site.

Sorry, can't get my head past the conundrum of "Hip Hop" and "song creation" being in the same sentence...

@Jonbouy... Yeah, I don't think I could bring myself to put my name on something as a songwriter if I just punched in some parameters and let the computer do the work for me. Currently I'm working on my first little X1 experiment and all I've been doing is dragging loops (all content included with X1) into TV and manipulating them how I want there. It's more for getting my workflow happening and just learning what's where and how to use it as far as basic functions. I know this is how many artists write these days but to me as flesh and nail music dork it just feels like cheating. I want to construct my own beats and then put my live performances over top of that. If I could afford some V-Drums I'd probably use those instead for my percussion... but I can't so this will have to do for now.

beepster...
 
if u put half the energy used to criticize me into actually reading my post...maybe you'd be in a better position to answering the f_c_ing question.
 
never sed I wanted something to do the work for me...sed I was looking for a songwriting aide similar to band in a box.  first of all, I go into that app w/ a complete chord & lyric chart under my belt; & knowing the melody (and the arrangement I want) cold..i.e., complete tunes.  and besides, I never stated what I do to finish the process, which is to bring the midi tracks into sonar & replay most everything myself live (piano, bass, drums, guitar).  i just use this program as a songwriting aide, that's all.
 
holy crap, what critics
