Shake, shake and oh noes, more shake!

Musicshake is like a watered down version of Fruityloops. As watered down as you can get. It's like following Meltdown with Waterga. Strangely enough though, it's fun. However, minutes after logging in, you'd have realized Musicshake was composing, but only in the loosest of the term. Composing in that you choose from different slides of prerecorded tracks, sliding them into your little Fruityloops-esque multitrack session and switching tone variables around to achieve a tune of your liking. Though, if you'd like to achieve a specific tune, it's impossible. This is the most basic music composition tool I've ever used. And this includes the PSX's MTV Music Generator. (And no, composing with the Ocarina in OoT doesn't count.)

It's certainly not hardcore composing, and it certainly would be frowned upon among Fruityloops users (such as myself if it were several years ago), and quite possibly any type of musician in general, however, it's incredibly entertaining and simplistic; to a point where I'm enjoying it. Though I'm certainly not proud of that. 7.0
