Thu, 24 Mar 2005 – Since cars drive by with the booming system – it wouldn’t be right for Midnight Club 3 not to feature one of the most pounding in-game soundtracks ever assembled.

Tear through Atlanta, Detroit and San Diego to the tune of 80-plus hand-picked hits spanning the finest of hip-hop, rock, and dancehall – from acts like Atlantic Records’ JOINT CHIEFS recording artists TI, Fat Joe, Trick Daddy, Twista, and Fabolous – as well as music from The Game, Baby, Queens of the Stone Age, Idlewild, and Nine Inch Nails – just to name a few. Plus the very best of techno and drum & bass from reputed labels, Underground Resistance, Submerge, and Moving Shadow. A few select songs from the in-game soundtrack are featured now in the official Flash site.

Fri, 04 Mar 2005 – Rockstar proudly presents Beaterator – a groundbreaking new Flash-based music sequencer, sampler and mixer built to work right in your browser.

Continuing in the tradition of Rockstar’s celebrations of artistic endeavor on the web, such as Upload and 2001’s Rhymerator, Beaterator gives anyone with an internet connection and Macromedia Flash the ability to craft advanced, original beats… and walk away with them as mp3s.

Beaterator gives the average Joe production abilities that previously never existed freely on the Internet. 8 tracks of sequencing, 4 tracks of original loop crafting down to the 16th note, 240 bar limit, full BPM control, ability to upload your own samples, ability to save out as an mp3, an advanced effects module, original sound bank comprised of hundreds of loops, drum kit sounds, synth and string stabs and more provided by production gurus Steinski, Matthew Dear, Juan Atkins, Avee & 3D and King Britt. This thing, for better or for worse, is going to have every knucklehead on the internet thinking they could very well be the next Derrick May or Pharrell Williams.
