Stoot said "If we let people *make* music (rather than play pre-recorded music) there'd be no legal hassles."
Yes yes yes i say yes!
Stoot: is this a hint that we may have this capability in the future? There could be a Music section added to the skill tree - Glitches could elect to acquire the knowledge/instruments to create their own Music Blocks - which could work kinda like the TR skill. I for one would learn those skills for sure.
Letting people make music would be cool, but the problem here is, just look at a game like apb-reloaded which has a music editor: It is only used for plagiarism or to create annoying sounds as a form of griefing.
I think it needs to be something that everyone can do: a music program inside glitch that let people with no experience in composing music create music they like. I think it can be done, if you hide all the stuff like chords and let the user play around like in a lot of generative music toys that are available on iphone. Check synthpond for example.
