Beat Producer
Choosing your first beat software
If you’re just getting started out making beats you’ll want to choose the right software for your situation. You need to find a piece of software that meets all your needs, is easy to use and doesn’t break the bank.
As music technology has improved the market has become flooded with different types of beat software, some of them are free while some of them costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
Ultimately when making beats your aim is to be able to use a Beat Producer that gives you unique beats that you can get played in a club and start earning money from.
If you opt for a free piece of software you’re not going to get the professional level of quality you need or all the features you need to accomplish this; you don’t necessarily need a $500+ piece of software either though as there are many excellent options for under $50, the price of software is not always the best indicator of how good it is.
One of the Beat Producer I recommend for your first beat making is Dr Drum. Dr Drum is great for making your first beats within minutes of installation.
With an intuitive and easy to use interface you can drag and drop sounds and get creating without having to wade through a hefty manual or hours of tutorials.
Quite a few pieces of beat making software have easy to use interfaces, but where Dr Drum really comes into its own is in its library of sounds. Some beat making software comes with such a small library of sounds that every beat you make ends up sounding the same, not so with Dr Drum.
With a massive library you can begin making unique beats without the need to add your own samples in first. Unlike most beat making software the samples are of professional standard 44.1 WAV files rather than compressed MP3 files.
This means your beats are of the quality used by professional beat makers. Dr Drum also has a 16 track sequencer, 4 octave keyboards for synth, guitar, piano, strings and FX and a fully features members area featuring video tutorials in case you need a bit of inspiration.
All of these are features you’d expect to find in software costing $500+ but as I mentioned at the start of this article price is not always the best indicator of quality. Dr Drum is available for under $40 and requires no extra equipment or specialist knowledge so you can get started creating your professional beats right away.
Available for both PC and Mac it comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee so giving it a try is risk-free.
