    Dunno if this happens to anyone else, but you ever noticed when working with MC's....

    Neither I...I dont think anybody meant loopy beats are simple though, but moreso they allow an MC to see a path for where their writing can go easier with something not as busy. - At least thats what I gathered from everyones feedback thus far. No?

    ...that they almost always seem to pick one of your "throw-away" beats when you give them the opportunity to choose for themselves? I'm always kinda surprised I guess.

    Standing up or sitting down?

    I usually stand up about 99% of the time, but only cuz thats the way my studio is set up. If I had a nice stool Id probably sit down more. I basically need to be higher up then my office chair allows so I just stand.
