Produce Your Beats In Kinetic 2

[Zavon415]

where do you download it?

[606tallman]

you guys just have to mess around with the program a little, try looking at the sample songs and seeing what kind of effects they use or unique patters. it can also be helpful to look at the sample songs for references on how to create ones own songs and arrangements. just need to download your own sound samples.

[MrH2old]

wished there was a course to learn this stuf, it realy is a lot of finding out on yourself before understanding comes, the manual does not say al and the help sections do not say also how to get it .I just see what nice grooves come up and put it togheter on a boss br 600, and who wants to hear grooves like this anyway.

[cmoneygrande]

Hey you guys, all of you that say this is limited are pretty... dumb. You can add your own sounds by using the sampler and you can definately create you own patterns. By dragging the mouse in the pattern editor. They give you the option to use theirs but if youre smart you can do it without it. I have this software. I NEVER use their patterns. My music is very original and i gets mad sells. Dont knock it till you try it. Lol. shakin my damn head.

[coop34ful]

I was wondering... Can I say load a Frank Sinatra sample into K2 and loop/chop using my Axiom 25? If so,how? And please...don't chew my head off cause I'm a newbie.

[amdispersed]

those who made song with kinetic they steal only

[davdud101]

Kinda the GarageBand equivalent of Windows... Comes with a tons of prerset sounds clips.

[defenderofthebrave]

is there a piano option?

[RealRapMusic187]

Damn this software is soooo fuckin hard to use

[StrictlyBG]

thanks but im too stupid for this

i would love to have a equitment just like back in the days without the "mouse clickin" shit ..all manual and all thats good but expensive

[TheTurdBurglur]

Is there a place to download a trial version?

[PMFMusicGroup]

Long time Kinetic user..is there a Kinetic 3 in the works?

[hismastersvoice88]

[GhostCrazyLV]

[lyricalheaven]

WTF kinda "groove" is this mofo making o_O

[gknowsit]

@lyricalheaven lol.. it a tutorial. but coulda tried to make a nice loop or sumthing... lol..

[AcidAngel7]

what about vocal's? could you add vocal's to your track? it dident mention it in the tutorial..

[magictree666]

sounds very cheap

[thccrew2000]

does this works on Windows 7?

[slapopimp]

Kinetic 2 is very old and no longer supported. It's also only made for XP. Because it's old and currently on sale at Cakewalk's site for $10 (it should be free!) you may as well just purchase it because there is no demo.

Kinetic is very limited in it's capabilities so advanced users beware! Kinetic is a novelty item at best. Oh... and don't expect any support ,bugfixes, or feature request. Kinetic is baked!

[Acanthorix]

Is there any way we can get a trial or something of Kinetic 2, or any of the other Cakewalk Software?

[InsomniusPFA]

are u limited to the sounds included with the software? wuts the catch?....i mean this is jus too easy

[CakewalkSoftware]

No, you are not limited to the sounds heard here but there is a great collection of sounds included in this software. Cakewalk products support all VST and DirectX instruments.

[MuzikMichael]

You MUTHA'FUCKERS must love them beats that you say someone stole cause you got them in your ipods ,cars,in your collection everywhere.

[zolanilla]

people used to get mad at the stealing music cuz.. music its suppousted to be an art of its creator.. this world its full of people that copy and steal.. theres nothing u can do

[lavakava]

many people steal music from other artists and put caption in their home video: music created by...""

[Kirillov]

it was always like that...what is the possibility of someone copying your idea? No really, would you really think theres like only one person with imagination like yours and that person being you? Ofcourse not...even when I imagine stupid go to google..turns out to be other 5000 people thought of same thing

[KOPop2]

you cant compose music in this software!

[killerdx456]

what do u mean

[flame6753]

i know what he means. It means, that you're not really composign anything. You're just mixing various patterns together. But its is limited to what the program can do, which is very limited.

[wsiegning]

no, I have kinetic, and you can plug in a keyboard and compose your own stuff. just because he's not doing it doesn't mean the program is not capeble

[Kirillov]

no..thats so not true..maybe for a guy like you or the guy in the video....you can just use groove instruments and compose using instruments themselves...then you can play the instrument note on the another spectrum and echo and effect as such..in the end it is YOUR song..

[Kirillov]

yeah u can stupid

[JSpraya]

kinetic 2 is pretty cool , but i only use it in rewire mode , and only use 1-2 soundz from it max , per song . u can just use the instruments and play what u want , or u can just use the midi files, or both , but any instrument can go with any midi file

[NathanLee0921]

This is unoriginal. You are basically putting together a song by using other people's sounds. You did not compose anything, only copying and pasting.  WOW! That was hard and very creative...Right?

[Chaos13666]

Agreed,You got my point buddy.

I hate people stealing music!!!

[Superfrilious]

thats pretty much what hiphop is all about

[DesarioMusic]

@Chaos13666 thats a good point but what about sampling? artist take the sample and chop it up and place it in pieces so it fits a groove pattern everyone does it but thats where the culture comes in people would go to record stores and look through old jazz records or other old stuff in search of something good to sample, theres a good way to soample and there is a bad way. this is video is the bad way.

[kosec1980]

Whats the beat in the back at the beginging of the vid?

[s0uthw3st19]

were can i download this programs

[NYsoul99]

go to torrentz , com .... and search whatever you want to download, you will need utorrent program ...

[dhisos]

[strawberryfields1982]

Does anyone know of any free software thats good for doing rock drums on i don't have space for a real drum kit. Any information would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

[ipodmanischen]

fruity loops has a demo you can download it's pretty sweet

[strawberryfields1982]

thank you very much!

[SkyPunch40]

is there a voice editing thing? I stink at singing...

[missnazstyle]

I bought this a while ago, it's a great program. It's a bit confusing once you start but with practice you'll get used to it :)

[mrpower328]

Can I use my own sounds?

[CakewalkSoftware]

Yes you can cut up sounds and trigger them with the DropZone sampler

[NitrogenKing]

could you use the virtual instruments you guys make for this too?

[CakewalkSoftware]

Yes it supports VST Plug-ins, so you could use other instruments with it

[someguy2k]

When was kinetic 2 released?

[CakewalkSoftware]

Last year

[Karlona3]

dude that's awesome! gotta try this program. I just have a question. Does it cost alot?

[CakewalkSoftware]

No it doesn't cost alot. You;'ll find it for $80 or less.

[Jfresh5985]

Does anybody know how or where I can patten beats and Lyrrics i have made so I can copyright my material??? Im trying to finish my 1st album and I need to do that.

[CakewalkSoftware]

You actually want to cour music and copyright your music and lyrics. Do a web search for the library of congress. You'll find what you need there.

[wacotexasboi254]

I got this on thursday (4/3/08) and im still messing around with it. But still kinda complicated! on gettin everything set up together into 1 whole song! I did however make a short song,just by listening to one of the grooves. Kinetic is great! But im im actually playin with it,now I gotta really work on it after watchin this video! - Thanks,American Musical! and CakeWalk!

[Nicetry75]

I love this program because you can use so many sweet drum sounds like amen break and it can be imported instantly to another folder.

[whitetiger2nv]

is it possible to sample? record your samples from other songs??

[CakewalkSoftware]

Kinetic does not record audio itself. If you record teh sample in another application like Pyro or Audio Creator, you can import and triggeer the sample in Kinetic

[Zethlis]

would this be good for those trying to start a rapping career?

[CakewalkSoftware]

Sure it is...you need beats to rap over, right?

[CakewalkSoftware]

Sorry I hit remove to your last question rather than Reply. Kinetic is a good tool for making beats and backing tracks but does not allow you to record audio, so you could not record your rhymes with it. Pro Suite gives you everything you need: thousands of instrument sounds, the best recording mixing and editing tools, and awesome beat making capabilities. It's like comparing a drum machine to an entire studio. Let me know if you have more questions.

[Zethlis]

alright thats all i needed to kno, im gonna be makin some money this summer and ima buy it then, or if a newer version comes out ill buy that heh sounds real solid

[moneytampa]

how do u use the drope zone and can u sample other songs

[jrharo8]

Can I put my songs from itunes on to kinetic and make my own beat to it? Or how can i do this?

[spyders2007]

Can i add m-audio keyrig 25 MIDI Controller to kinetic 2??

[CakewalkSoftware]

You sure can, they work great together

[DanielJohnsen200]

can you have this for your normal computer or must you buy a mac or an other computer from apple??

[CakewalkSoftware]

You can use this on a PC, yes your normal PC. It's a myth that you need a amac to make music. In fact in many cases PCs are better and less money.

[caseybmxer]

haha nice beat dawg

[RidesVolcom]

i just started using kinetic 2, and the sound coming out is real fuzzy... can you help me out?

[Oderus24]

Check your audio drivers, also it might be that you need a better sound card.

[KyleBissonnette23]

Is this program better than FL Studio 7.0? I have Fl Studio and just received kinetic as a gift. I was wondering what some of the differences are and which one is easier for beginners?

[makaveli23263]

for this can i use a usb sound card or does it have to be Windows compatible soundcard* using WDM, ASIO drivers

[CakewalkSoftware]

If your USB audio interface works with Windows, it is Windows-compatible. And chances are it uses WDM or Asio drivers to communicate with Windows, even if it plugs in via USB

[Avitas3000]

I saw your comment about this program only being made for Windows 2000 and XP. I have Windows Vista, is there a programme out there that is as good as this one and can be used on Windows Vista?

[willismarvin]

I have Kinetic 2 and not 1. I noticed at Musician's Friend Kinetic 1 cost more than 2. Is 2 an upgrade? Would there be any advantages in buying 1 also? Thanks.

[CakewalkSoftware]

I'm not sure why musician's friend is selling version 1 for more money, there is no advantage to having version 1 over version 2

[xFabulousFredx]

is there any way I can record voice in Kinetic 2?

[CakewalkSoftware]

No this is a sequencing application only. You could get something like Music Creator 4 or SONAR Home Studio to record your audio. Kinetic will plug into these applications and you can use them together

[CakewalkSoftware]

Or a shorter answer: Yes

[makaveli23263]

thank you so much for your help

[willismarvin]

I've posted a video response with a song where I used Kinetic 2. I created my drum loops, guitar and vocals in Cakewalk Sonar and converted them to Acid Loops (RIFF). (I used soundfonts for drum sounds) I have over 50 acidized loops averaging from 4 measures up to 48. I only used about 16 of these loops and the arrangement in the video is one out of many possibilities. The effects in Kinetic are great!!

[maddady]

hey how can i upgrade the first kinectice 2 kinectic 2

[makaveli23263]

so I can only make 64 tracks of beats??

[CakewalkSoftware]

That's in one song file. And technically it's 64 x 16 or 1024 total tracks per song file. You can save as many song files as you like.

[makaveli23263]

ok thanks how many tracks can I record?

[CakewalkSoftware]

You can have 64 banks of 16 tracks...just to be clear though this is a sequencer for beats and tracks, not an audio recorder. If you want to record vocals I would recommend a variety of SONAR

[makaveli23263]

can this do rap too??

[CakewalkSoftware]

Sure, there's a whole section of hip hop and rap beats to get started, and alot of the sounds are perfect to make your own rap beats too

[davek89303]

wa the

[skydemon1583]

sweet program

[wysiwysell]

But I have the foundation midi files from all songs created initially elsewhere. I would like to be able to fully move everything over to the Macbook, but now I see that it may be too much trouble.  I have already ordered SHS 6 XL and will have to keep moving forward instead.

Too bad K1 or K2 has not followed suit in working with OSX, but they are still great programs.

[wysiwysell]

I did get SHS 4 XL to run again on my Macbook but for some reason, songs created and expanded with loops and samples on the PC will not play without crashing the software. I think that it is looking for files in a different folder directory and the folder system was not the same since I had CW PA9 on the PC and never on the Mac.

[wysiwysell]

SHS XL runs fine if it ever boots but K2 won't. I am using Parallels. I had to reinstall SHS 4 XL after having an OSX issue and it has not run since.

K2 will not get enough CPU resources freed to run clearly, but I have been traveling without the opportunity to fully dive into the reinstallations of everything.

Starting an installation after 10 p.m. is not a good idea regardless of which program is being installed:)

[wysiwysell]

What steps are needed to get K2 working on a 1st gen Macbook with 2 GB RAM? I already have both, but something is slowing the processor speed way down.

[CakewalkSoftware]

Kinetic is only developed for Windows 2000 & XP, that might be your problem. Are you trying to run it using Bootcamp or Parallels?

[CakewalkSoftware]

Kinetic includs lost of loops and patterns, and also provides a great interface to step enter your music, so a MIDI keyboard is not necessary to get started. But having a keyboard does add a new dimension to what you can do with Kinetic, because you can play the parts you want to record, and also use it to trigger loops and patterns.

[stillUrban]

Hi,

I was wonder, can I use my own vocals with this program as audio ?

please reply,

Thanks

[CakewalkSoftware]

Kinetic does not record audio, it's for making beats and electronic music tracks only. If you have your vocals recorded as WAV or MP3 files, you can import them and trigger them along with your arrangement in Kinetic. You could also do your vocals in Cakewalk Music Creator or SONAR, then plug Kinetic in to those apps via ReWire.
