You've already heard the capabilities of Beat Thang, the new music machine by Dallas Austin and Rowdy Electronics. That's because Austin produced one of Lady Gaga's songs using only this machine, which is programmed with a library of Austin's own beats.
Beat Thang has 3,000 original, sample-free sounds, hundreds of original beats, loops and 65 digital effects, including waveform editing, mixing and mastering capabilities, a 3.5 inch full color LCD screen and a four-hour rechargeable battery.
