DO NOT Make Beats With MP3′s!
DO NOT Use ONE Bar Software!
YOU WON’T GET ANYWHERE WITH THAT!
YOU = Are in the look to MAKE KILLER BEATS IN RECORD TIME- but all you see is a BUNCH of landing pages and you probably have no clue which beat maker to get or the difference between them…
I certainly understand what you’re going through because I’ve just been there only 6 months ago. All I wanted was a product capable of creating beats of high quality when exported i.e. .WAV 16 bit stereo.
Oh dear god, the amount of research and money I had to put in, most of which ended up on beat producer software that was based online OR totally free to download – and they were all YACK!
So frankly, this page will hopefully save you both time and money, since its actually f****n easy once you get the basics down.
Here I have listed all important features to look for in a beat maker software.
1. You NEED a sequencer! What is it? Its your working canvas with a timeline where you would integrate all kinds of sounds like keys, drums, voices and so forth…. You lay the foundation in the main sequencer interface before entering the panels for drum editors where the actual beats are built or your keyboards where sustaining samples or triggered tones are played into…
2. The sequencer should not only be able to import your own sounds – BUT also as with any great beat maker software SHOULD come with already mastered sick beat libraries by default. At least 44.1 stereo 16 bit .wav files. Remember the beat maker should be able to export beats in the same flawless, lossless, higher quality!
3. FORGET MP3 OR ONLINE BEAT PRODUCER software! The problem with making beats online is that you work on a cloud based system – meaning you’re totally dependent on the internet connection and the server resources, the server that even you don’t have control of (wtf – I mean it’s a noble idea and dubturbo does that too but with .wav’s, not NEARLY as fast as having it installed locally).
Anyway, the online beat machines are VERY limited in all aspects, when you export your .mp3 yeah it bangs ok but nowhere close to what it should sound like. Even their libraries are usually pretty cheesy, and you can forget about importing your own sounds (who cares, again it’s MP3′s, yuk).
Nothing against mp3′s, like when you’re exporting your mastered song into a standard pcm .wav and THEN converting it down to mp3 from that master, BUT to ‘start’ your foundation of each beat with mp3′s is for kids.
No serious artist or studio will look at you, and you’ll be LUCKY if you can hawk it for $5 on the bargain basement beat sites lol… you’ve been warned, stick to broadcast quality.
So finally after contemplating giving up on anything under $200′ish, I decided to take dubturbo for a trial run.. …. The thing cost me $30 and it covers ALL of the above and more. Really nice mastered libraries, easy to use interface which kinda reminds me of a cross between logic, cubase, and an mpc for their beat machine panel.
For version 1.0 even with the few small bugs, I’m extremely impressed with their overdelivery! Importing a few kits I bought recently was a breeze and I ended up making like 4 kits my first night by beatboxing into my mic and chopping up the sounds into my own kits, then seqeuncing them… … Exporting into a .wav is also easy, and you control the volume of EACH sound, not just the whole kit (each drum kit has 10 sounds, so you can turn down the master of all 10 combined, or turn down just the snare, or turn up just the kick, etc).
What else can I say…. Here I know, I’ll ask myself a few general questions pretending I’m YOU and I don’t know this world yet:
* Best part of the ap and why you use this one instead of the others in it’s price range?
Yeah I know, the money thing is important, to me more than anyone! So seeing that it was $30 kinda threw me off, so that’s probably the best part, is that my mission (my TRUE mission, to make 16-32 bars of WICKED hooks, patterns, and beats with custom sounds and samples – WITHOUT having to get a whole home studio) is becoming a reality! It was a good realization that first time a client asked me “So where’s the .wav file I need that for the radio and tv spots too”. This is so much more than anything else in it’s price range you can’t really compare (again most are mp3 crappy online versions, or upsell driven where you need more plugins or PC parts…).
^ I was like WOW!
I’ve learned a LOT since I was in your shoes, and trust me it’s good to be in mine! I hustle beats now like a madman, and I’m saving up to get more gear too because this feed both my desire to bang music and express my creativity, and have an outlet to channel that creativity to turn it into money and feed my kids’ kids someday!
I’m not filthy rich no, but the most important part of my beat making journey is taken care of – now all I do is listen to tracks and videos on youtube from my favorite artists, and make my own remixes of their beats – SOUNDS HOT! & broadcast quality!
