Very quick Google search leads me to figure this: currently often posted in various places (YouTube is popular) by trolls who object to Obama. It actually predates the president, appearing at least as early as mid-2006 [quotesdb.info], but Google thinks even back in 2001 [google.com].

...will it make those people who upload videos of them working on their MPCs actually talented? I think of all the beatmakers on Youtube, there are maybe a handful that are actually worth watching.
The same cannot be said, however, for guitar players; Youtube is overflowing with them.

I imagine it'll be a while before it lets you remix multiple Youtube videos into something like what Kutiman did [thru-you.com]. Nevertheless, at the very least it's a very nice tech demo.

Absolutely...I was merely using the MPC as an example because I figured people were most likely to know what I was talking about if I referred to that specific piece of hardware. I was obviously mistaken :-)
For the record, I don't care if someone uses hardware or software, if they use an MPC or a crappy, homemade $20 pad. I don't care if someone uses Reason or FL Studio, or any other comparison you can think of...so long as your tools allow you to create the music that you want, that's what matters.

No. It's called 1-Click Youtube Video Downloader. It lets me download MP4 or FLV for my computer, and 3GP files for slow connections (dialup; wireless). I love it. "NetVideoHunter" is my second-used program, for non-youtube videos like CNN or FOX News.

Ah, gotcha. The one I mentioned, DownloadHelper, works with any flash object on any web page, whether it's a movie, game, audio file, or anything else. You can download the object as an .flv, and I believe the program supports on-the-fly conversion to just about anything imaginable as well.
Give it a look [downloadhelper.net], awesome stuff.

This is simply because the guitar is a superior instrument to any sampler. If I want to hear people make beats, I'll listen to a drummer. At least then it takes some skill to keep time.

Making live beats using something like an MPC 1000 does take a ton of skill...it's just that most of the people who try to do it don't really have it -_-;;
Full Disclosure: I couldn't keep a beat if my life depended on it. That's one of the reasons why I make spacey ambient tunes...can't screw up a beat if there isn't one :-)

Why? Because any beat that contains more than four sounds simultaneously is not worthy to be called music? Because if something is too fast to be physically played it should not be allowed to exist? Because there is no artistic use [youtube.com] for being able to trigger arbitrary sounds?
And yes, I can play guitar. But 'keeping in time' is not the only important skill in music. Neither is singing perfectly in tune. And if you think they are, you'd be shocked by the number of top

But they are important skills. If you don't have them, don't cover them up. Compensate with what you're good at. e.g. Bob Dylan.
you'd be shocked by the number of top live bands that use click tracks and autotune.

Re: (Score:1)
That's fairly simple. You improvise within songs while staying in time with the click track. You have free time improvisations between the songs.
There is staying in time well enough that nobody notices, and then there is staying in time well enough that you can introduce complex keyboard and guitar sounds half-way through a song and be perfectly in time with them.

In broad theory, this is among the issues that Flash is supposed to solve, while simultaneously not making an easy avenue for the server to be DDoSed by having the video downloaded by a whole botnet simultaneously. Flash doesn't succeed nearly as well as I'd like and I'm not trying to defend its poor implementation of the idea, but "watch regardless of your browser or OS" is part of the issue that Flash (poorly) addresses.

How does it solve it for text-based browsers? It cannot in principle. What about low-profile yet very capable browsers like NetSurf or Midori? I am not against embedding video, I just want a fail-safe option, and it's not like it's a hard one to implement. DDOS issue is avoided trivially by either running a torrent (popular video) or limiting the number of connections (unpopular video).
