Beat Making Software

So you wanna make hip hop beats like Dr. Dre? Dr. Dre is probably one of the most famous beat making icons in the past several decades and arguably the most famous. Dr. Dre has been around for awhile though and his success didn’t just happen overnight.

Making beats is a skill that is developed over time and not something to be done in just a few days. Most young beat makers in training believe that once you have the right software or audio workstation, the beats just come rolling out automatically. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Starting out as a young DJ back in the mid-1980′s he slowly worked his way up and gained popularity through his ‘Master of Mixology’ and determination of success. He would slowly come into the limelight under the World Class Wreckin Cru banner and his first major hip hop release Surgery.

From here is was a steady climb … Ruthless Records, Death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment, 2001, and now currently Detox, Dr. Dre has worked hard to make his name famous to hip hop beat making.

What contributes to his success is not his equipment, but his work ethic and determination. Any one can go and buy some fancy beat making software like Fruity Loops or Sonic Producer, but the bottom line is to make beats and get famous takes hard work.

We all know that famous quote from Edison, “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration,” well that is true in every field, and no different in the beat making and hip hop industry. So if you want to make it big, grab some software like Sonic Producer, put your head down and go to work … who knows you may just become the next Dr Dre!

There is a new software beat maker in town, and it’s name is Dub turbo. Like all beat making programs it has its strengths and weaknesses.

I first started to get into beat making over 6 months ago. You know when you get the itch to start creating you very own hip hop beats? I searched around online for weeks trying to find that perfect software beat machine. Most of the industry software out there is well into the 100′s of dollars. Not exactly in my budget especially if you are a very young producer with little to no experience.

DubTurbo gives you the ability to compete with the big boys as you can begin to create beat instrumentals in as little as 10 minutes all for less than $30. How’s that for a bargain? Go ahead and head on over to dubturbo.com to check out there sample beats and promotional videos. Pretty sick!

The software is loading with beat making features just like a digital audio workstation – from a fully functional 16 track sequencer, fluid keyboard, and drum pads to inject those nice deep kicks and bass.
This is not to mention the thousands of sounds and effects that come with the beat maker. Scratches, leads, voice overs, kits, combos, etc… if you can think up the sounds it is for sure to be in dub turbo’s beat library.

So what are you waiting for, you will be amazed at the sounds that come out after you start creating some beats …

There are lots of ways to make your own beats.  From high priced hardware and equipment to free beat making software online there are literally 100′s of options to chose from.  So what do you do?

Choosing the right beat maker software will get you started on the right foot in your beat making career in producing music.

If you are a beginner and just learning the ropes, there is no reason to go all out and spend 100′s or even thousands of dollars of equipment for your beat making. Start with something decent but entry-level. (Unless you have money to blow). There are a handful of software that work great for the aspiring music producer looking to craft some new beats on his or her computer.

Because every software is different you will probably want to look around before you commit to a specific solution. Some will be well-suited for you while others may not be for making your own beats. Take look at their demos or any videos they have to offer to see if the beat maker will be one that you can work with.

It is easy when you are new to the hip hop scene you get caught up in making rap beats and you want to go out and buy every hip hop production equipment you can. Samplers, sequencers, drum machines, instrumentals, turntables, or even synthesizers can all work in harmony for a trackmaster. However, you will save yourself a lot of headaches as well as money if you start out slow …
