    • Made with BeatMaker: Amazing Hip Hop album by ST/MiC

    Thursday, 08 September 2011 09:10

    "In the Pocket" is a 15-tracks album composed using BeatMaker by talented producer Michael "St. Mic" Moxham.

    Michael tells us about the making of his album:

    I had started it the day I got BeatMaker, which was maybe a few months after its release. Honestly I bought my first ipod touch specifically for BeatMaker. I never really had a want or need for one.
    I released this album, finally, just a few months ago. 99% of it was made on BeatMaker 1, a couple synth and bass sounds from Noise.io. I recorded and mixed the vocals in pro tools, as that's what I do for work, and voila!
    I'm a seriously huge fan. I actually bought an iPad 2 so I can use BeatMaker 2! Glad I did. I'm working on a dubstep and electro house album at the moment, under a different alias.

    You can listen to the whole album on his BandCamp page, and listen to some of the songs below:
