Believe it or not, There are a lot of rappers who can actually sing. Case in point, Queen Latifah has a very nice voice and has put out an album with just her singing. The album goes by her birth name, Dana Owen. Below, she is singing a song she performed back in 2010. Check out the Album, Dana Owen, My favorite is number 6.

No, that's completely different. Woo, want to credit this sikk burn. It's not musicianship, it's just slapping rectangles down on a grid! Me want longer sound, me make rectangle longer. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristian Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) It's not the first "EASY" DAW to hit the market, so you can't fault the makers. eJay was a thing in the 90s. AIR ignite was pretty easy to use. Steinberg has Sequel, and they recently made it free. There's also Magix Music Maker. Roland has Zenbeats. Pretty sure there are many others... But at some point you just have to sit down and actually work on the music, it won't make itself. We have no tools, at least not yet, that can read your mind and output a song.

Reminds me of Mark Tremonti singing Frank Sinatra (he sounds amazing doing it - who would have known). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
