The modern music industry has been nothing but a free for all. Any one who has a computer can now become a music super-star using digital sound production.

You may have heard of a person who goes by the name Kanye West. Now, Kanye is not the most beloved performer by everybody on the globe. But is he successful? You bet. Even Kanye was not always a rapper, he started off making rap beats. Yes, Kanye would make 5 hiphop beats every single day, no matter what obstacles he faced. And you know what? Nowadays just one of his beats can be contracted for as much as $1000 each! That’s awe inspiring when you think simple his rap beats are musically.

Chances are that if you’re reading this right now you are excited to get started making your own hip hop beats online or offline. Now, besides the will to figure out ways to make beats, all you need to begin is a computer and a hiphop beats program. I will give you a few examples of good beat making software, their pros and cons, and which ones I would recommend to you.

First, the software that I personally began creating beats with is called FL Studio. This program is an EXCELLENT program for getting started making hiphop beats, although all of the features do require a large knowledge of sound. They offer a trial version of their software on the website, but to get the full version you will need to cough up over $90. Most people when they want to get started making rap beats, don’t need gallons of super-advanced options, and don’t want to spend all of their cash.

All of this leads me to a piece of software that I would personally suggest to YOU. It’s called Sonic Producer and it’s the sickest hip-hop beat program on the internet right now. Sonic Producer comes with a 16 track sequencer, the best thing for beginners to start out with. What do you put in those 16 tracks? Don’t worry, Sonic Producer comes with a fully-loaded sound library with 1000s of preset sounds. The best thing about this beat maker is that it doesn’t take up space on your harddrive.

Think web 2.0. like Google Documents. Microsoft Word 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 fully working rap beat making program right here in your browser, with full functionality. The absolute best part is you can literally click save here in your browser and it will save your new beats to your computer as mp3s! Get started making your own beats now!
