Many people are looking into different types of beat maker software and most people think that any program is going to be expensive and difficult to use. Fortunately due to the rapid expansion of Internet technology we can dispel both of those myths.
Getting your hands on some great programs that produce high-quality beats is simple and very affordable. The best ones on the market can cost you well under $40 and they are simple enough for you to begin creating beats the day you download it.
Desktop/Interface.
Always look for a program that has a simple, easy-to-use and visually satisfying desktop or Interface. This is the place where you will do your work and most of the programs you some great graphics so that it looks like you are staring at a mixing desk, with tone controls, volume controls etc and maybe even a piano keyboard.
You should be able to sample all of the different beats, sounds and instruments and either drag and drop them onto a timeline or play them in real time and record as you do this. Imagine this like a virtual instrument interface right on your computers monitor.
Creating Your Beat.
Firstly begin by selecting one or two drum sounds that you like. Click and drag these onto your timeline. It may be a good idea to try something simple at first, like a pace or kick drum on each one and three of each bar, with a snare on beta two and four. If you add a closed higher sound on every heartbeat or quarter beat throughout each bar you will have a simple yet effective beat within a matter of minutes.
Obviously the better you get and the more creative you become will result in some great sounding beats for any type of music.
Always make sure your beat maker software comes with the option to export your finished work either onto a CD or as an MP3.
