How to make beats

How to make beats.  What would you do with the perfect beat.?  Flow on it, sell it, put in on a mix tape?  A lot you want to get started and don't know how.  I am going to give you 5 options to choose from.  You should go to each website and make your choice depending on price, equipment needed and the learning curve.  You don't want to choose something that has a steep learning curve.  Now get ready to make some choices on how to make beats.



  • DubTurbo - This baby is the best thing since sliced bread per the reviews.  You don't need any fancy equipment just install on your computer and you are ready to go.  Make beats on your computer with the best beat making software.  This program does cost but some of the free programs that are on the net are of poor quality and if you took that to a studio people would laugh at you.  The samples are 44.1khz wave files which means broadcast ready. Click Here! 
  • Magix Music Maker MX - This program comes with over 3500 samples and loops.  That is way enough to keep you busy.  Crafting beats out all day. It has a great VST support and effects.  I love the fact that it features 64 tracks for audio, video and midi.
  • Sony creative software ACID Music Studio 8.0 - Sony has done it again just plug in your mike or instrument and get ready to record.  The built in learning tutuorial on the progam is a great plus in my eyes.  This looks real easy to do
  • Sonic Pro - DubTurbo and Sonic Pro are neck and neck by this point.  They both huge sample libraries.  Comes with a 16 sequencer, piano key set and lot, lots more.
  • Fruity Loops Studio 10 - This program is a little home studio in a box.  I had made a couple of beats on fruity loops 6 back in the day.  The learning curve was pretty easy.  This does have a big price tag but I am sure it is worth it.  Your all in one beat making system.  Check it out
I hope you can make up your decision to make beats at home on your computer.  The choice that I came with was DubTurbo.   I  will post later of some beats that I can make when I purchase the software.  I love looking at the videos on YouTube.  What ever choice you make I am sure your beats will be hot.  Ohh when you do make your first beat, you can go on fiver.com and sell them.  Just an FYI.
