Beat Making Software

Finding the right beat making software to start making your own beats can sometimes be confusing and you can spend a lot of money trying out all of the different beat making software programs just to find the one that will make professional rap beats and hip hop beats. Some producers spend lots of money on high end equipment to make hip hop beats and will have all types of gear in order to make their hip hop beats sound really great.

Now if you are a professional producer and are making money selling your rap beats, having the high end production equipment is a must and if you don't have a big budget to spend on hardware to make your rap beats, then the quality of your hip hop beats might suffer. I have used all types of equipment to produce hip hop beats and hip hop tracks and it used to be that if you didn't use a MPC series Drum Machine, you were in no danger of making tight hip hop beats and rap beats. However that was years ago and now with technology being what it is today, you can really make some hot hip hop beats and hot rap beats if you know where to go to find great beat making software.

Now if I were to tell you that all you need is a computer and you can make hip hop beats, that would not be right because you are going to need not only a great or fast computer but you will also need the right beat making software to make your rap beats or hip hop beats. If you are going to make professional hip hop beats, I recommend a couple of software programs and depending on your budget, you can get a really great inexpensive beat making software program for around $30 and be able to use your computer to make hip hop beats and hip hop tracks on your computer.

One of the things that you should understand before you buy a beat making software program is that your level of experience will determine how successful you are with making rap beats and making hip hop beats so if you have never made hip hop beats before or make rap beats, your learning curve might be steeper than someone who has been making rap beats for awhile. Nevertheless, you can still learn to make hip hop beats if you are willing to read the tutorials and review the videos to learn how to make your hip hop beats not only sound right but also make sure that they are hot enough for you to sell online if you are going to take making rap beats a professional career.

There are several hip hop producers who make beats with beat making software that are not only getting paid but are making a decent living producing hip hop beats and making rap beats with their computer. One of the things you must keep in mind when you are making hip hop beats with your computer is that you need to make sure that you have a good understanding of the beat making software and that it comes with easy to learn tutorials or videos so that you can be able to learn how to make beats the right way and not get discourage when you first start making your beats. I remember when I made my first beat with Fruity Loops and it sounded like crap because I didn't take the time to learn how to use the software properly.

So I proceeded to sit down and read the documentation for the the beat making program and realized that I was going about making hip hop beats the wrong way. I was taking all types of short cuts and trying to figure out on my own how to use the software and while I was making beats with the software program, I was missing out on all of the different capabilities of the software and was making basic get by beats. Once I understood the beat making software which took me about 3 days of serious studying, I was then able to create the beats the way the beat software was intended and all of the sudden my hip hop beats started sounding the way they were supposed to.

Then I started to let other people hear the beats that I made with the beat making software program and all of the sudden, people were offering money to buy the hip hop beat and wanted to use it on their project. Not wanting to tell them how I made the beat I went with the flow and sold the beats and they thought I had a big old studio that I was producing the hip hop beats with and they wanted more of them.

So that's when I realized that it doesn't matter what you use to make your beats with, it really matters how well you read the tutorials and then apply what you learn to making hip hop beats. Half the battle is what beat making software you choose to use and the other battle is sitting down and mastering the beat software so that you can get the most out of it.
