There a lot of producers out there in the game it would be wise to pick 1 or 2 and do nothing but study their work. I use to sit down with a pen and pencil and write down the instruments I heard in songs all the time. Then I'd pay close attention to which sounds were used together. Some producers were heavy on using string and piano combinations and with perfect beat other songs of theirs. They would use Guitars and thin sounding flutes. I also pay close attention to how long their patterns would run. Most of the time the main part of the song was only 2-4 bars that ran throughout with only slight variations.

The master section is where you finalize your mix into a complete master and bounce it down to two-track stereo for user consumption. A solid beat program will include master plugins; bounce options and a way to normalize your files.

Make sure that your beat maker provides you more than one bar to create loops. The whole point of making a loop is to have several instruments playing together in a particular pattern and not just one instrument. Check that your beat maker has 16 - 32 bars.

The most important tool any beat maker can have in their arsenal is a good http://www.thebeatbros.net software. There are more than a few software out there to choose from but there are some things you should look for in order to get the best one available.

Lastly, before you start using the software you should get familiar with it's functions. You should play around with the tempo monitor, special effects, and volume controls. You don't need an expensive software to make quality beats.

I decided to go ahead and download and install DUBturbo the top beat making software online, I went through each of the free training videos that are included. I admit, without the videos DUBturbo would have been very hard to learn. They gave me step by step instructions on how to use the software. I followed along and within the first hour of using Dub Turbo I had recorded some of my music, and produced a rough draft of my first song. I was so excited at how easy the process was!

Sequencers are anything that can store a series of notes and read them back. It shows all the different parts of your song. The sequencer organizes the different components of your song your drums, bass line, and various other melodies. You must make sure your sequencer has at least 16 tracks, a sequencer that doesn't have an adequate number of tracks can really limit your song. 16 tracks should be more than enough to create a full and dynamic song.
