Ok I'm gonna do a pro's and cons style review of this software. We'll start with the pro's.. Its really easy to pick up and you can create any kind of beat you want with it. You can use any sample you want to create a drum or instrument with. Which gives you the ability to make truelly unique sounds and beats. The standalone is really awesome to work with. And you can come up with unique beat in minutes. If you know what your doing(which doesnt take much learning) you can come up with some really awesome stuff. You can get any style beat you want out of it. Whether your looking for hip hop, rock, dubstep, or really fast heavy metal with double bass and hard hitting snares.. it is all completely 100% achievable with LR. The only limitation in that area is your imagination and your ability to create samples. Now the cons.. First off the biggest downfall of Liquid Rhythm is it is specifically designed to work with Ableton Live. So if you dont have Ableton Live the VST portion is rea...

This is an revolutionary program for anyone interested in Music creation. I don't need a drumkit or a midi keyboard to create professional sounding loops for many different genres! Once you try this approach you won't be able to do it any other way without feeling like your wasting time. Also the Dev Teams really support the product well, replies to emails arrive within a day and they've got a good set of videos for learning how to use it. Works well with whatever DAW you might be using and theres even videos on how to integrate with many of the big ones. P.S. If your finding the program is slow to start there are a number of FAQs regarding audio drivers etc. For me I had to choose wait for audio engine to start a couple of times and it worked.

The controls are very simple, all the tools are understandable even for a novice like me. Btw the random generator is simply amazing! But yea, most of beat makers are actually straightforward and beat programming has no shortage of tools. I've tested the demo for weeks before buying. I really liked how the patterns are displayed and notes can be easily edited, this is where I think LR shines. It seems they will add new features in DLC model. The complete pack can have these extras without any fees. Upgrades are the main reason which convinced me to pay a little more. The -35% for each extra (summer sales) made the bundle cost less than 50% in complete pack, leaving the full package with the best cost/benefits. Some tips for Windows users: Update Java to latest version: 'Java 7 Update 60' (for both x86 and x64 versions) and force run with admin rights: Right click -> 'Properties', at 'Compability' tab settings: 'Run this program as an administrator' "\LiquidRhythm.exe" "\plugins\com....

garbage. paid $99 for an unlicensed piece of software? fuck you steam

theres only one mabey two`` things i will say about this and it really is a good bit of software,, but every time i use it i have to change things in the settings to hear it, everytime` please fix this,,

When I first started working with music making programs creating a nice drum line was the most difficult part. Other programs offered all the capabilities, but each program was like wandering a maze at night. Even with extensive tutorials online by both the creators and the various users whom used said programs. It still took at least an hour for me to even begin to create a simple drum line, and when I had finally figured out the controls I had lost interest in the drum line I was thinking of. When I finally stumbled upon this program I couldn’t believe my eyes. I quickly installed the demo and from there on I was in love. Everything was so simple! No more maze like interfaces, no more having trouble getting the correct timing, no more problems! I still cannot believe how easy this program is to use! Sure it’s not as advance, but who cares when you can easily create a beat in as much as five minutes. As a musician with no drum capabilities, or the space to own a midi drum set if I...

I try to use this with ableton 9. as a plug in it works but not as a MAX for live feature. keeps giving error messages. Also, Norton deletes the EXE claiming it has a virus. What's going on Steam???

Easily compose/generate some rhythms, but not worth the full price (only buy when this is offered at a discount)! The tool you should get is Liquid Music as the functionality of Liquid Rhythm is too limited in my opinion.

It makes programming drums super easy. I bought all the plugins, but I find the Tumbler and the Randomizer to be the most useful. I don't think I "get" the Beatweaver yet, but it looks like it could be useful in the future. Occasionally, when I use it as a "controller" for Session Drummer 3, some drums aren't picked up, but I'm sure this is something I just haven't figured out yet. I generally use it to produce .MID files, and import those into Session Drummer 3. It's also really good for taking drum loop .mid files I've purchased and making them into a song.

[h1]Interesting little piece, but pretty oveprriced[/h1] First of, i haven't used the software for 200+ hours as Steam implies. I have the bad habit of leaving software open, and i almost never turn my PC off so, hours piled up. PRO: - Quick way to prototype/sketch a rhythm/beat - You can use your own samples - You can export to midi, and you can even drag and drop to your DAW - I would say it really would work well if you're making rap/hip-hop beats, but i can't vouch for that, it's just my impression. CON: - Very counter intuitive - Works somewhat poorly, i blame it on the fact that most (if not all) its components are made in java (if you're wondering, Java in this kind of "setting" is just as bad as it was in 2007" - I ran into many issues when i tried to use it as a VST in Ableton 11 Live, Fruity Loops, Mixcraft, Sonar, and when it finally started working i realized it's very poorly integrated, so i just used it separately. - Randomizer is quite bad and pointless. You'd imagine...
