subject: Want To Make Your Own Beats Online?: Let's Get Started [print this page] Today's record industry has been nothing but a clusterfuck. Almost anyone who owns a pc can now become a music super-star by means of digital effects production. You may have heard of such a man who goes by the name Kanye West. Now, Kanye is not the most beloved performer by everybody on the continent. But is he a douche? Yes he is. Even Kanye was not always a rapper, he started synthesizing beats and instrumentals. Yes, Kanye would make 5 rap beats every damn day, no matter what obstacles he faced. And guess what? Nowadays just one of Kanye West's beats can go for as much as $1000 per BEAT! That's incredible when you hear simple his hip hop tunes are in a musical sense.
Chances are if you're reading this right now you want to get started creating your very own hiphop beats. Now, besides wanting to pick up the methods to make beats, all you need to get crackin is a personal computer and a hip hop beats program. I will give you a few examples of good beat making programs, the good and not so good, and which ones I would recommend. First, the beat software that I personally started out making beats with is called FL Studio. It is a tremendous program for beginners creating hip-hop beats, although a good amount of of the options do require a enormous knowledge of sound. They offer a trial version of their software on their site, but to get the full version you will need to pay over $90. Many people when they want to get started making beats, don't need tons of intricate features, and don't want to spend all of their savings.
Well, this brings me to a beat making program that I would personally suggest to YOU. The program's titled Sonic Producer and it's the hottest online hip hop beat making program on the market right now. Sonic Producer comes loaded with a 16 track sequencer, flawless for beginners to start with. What do you put in those sixteen tracks? Not to worry, Sonic Producer comes with a fully-loaded library with 1000s of preset tunes. My favorite thing about this software is that it doesn't waste space on your hard drive. Think web 2.0. like Google Documents. Microsoft Office usually takes up a few gigabytes, but with Google's web 2.0. technology, you can have a word processor in your browser. This is the same idea. You now have a sick beats program in your browser, with full functionality. My favorite setting is that you can literally click save here in your browser and it will save your new beat to your computer as mp3s! Get started making hiphop beats now!
