Making your own beats has never been easier than now. You just need to have the right beat making program to make your own beats. Most of these beat makers allow you to do it online.
This is definitely an advantage over programs that require complicated setup. And of course it's much cheaper and better than the conventional studio equipment that cost thousand of dollars to set up. Don't be surprised that the sound quality of beats made using an online beat maker is as good as those of studio equipment.
Now, the challenge here is to choose the right beat making program. There are many out there on the web but not all are equal. Some have only 8 tracks sequencer while the standard is now 16 tracks, some without import function; some have no forum support and so on. There are many criteria to look into, but we are going to look at 3 of the fundamentals.
The uniqueness of your beats is what makes it stand out from the crowd. So, the first thing that your beat making program should have is a large sound library. This allows you to have a wide variety of sounds from various music instruments to select from (drum, snare, percussion, piano etc). You can add and mix to your beats to make sick beats that will drive your friends grooving. Hence, the larger the sound library it has, the better because you will have more chances to mix and match more variety of unique beats.
Then, you have to make sure that the program is user-friendly. If it requires you to read a hundred pages manual in order to use it, then it's definitely a minus point. It's going to be a very frustrating experience as though it will take you forever to fully master the program. So, the beat maker has to be self intuitive where you can easily figure out how to use it even without reading the user manual. Nevertheless, it will be definitely a lot of help if the program comes with video instruction as we tend to learn better and faster with the visual aid.
The beat making program should also come with a complete control panel with function to add, edit, mix, setting high and low BPM, tweak the tempo of your beats, adjust frequency, etc. This way, you will have a better chance to make more unique beats. And don't forget to look at the save function of the software. Check to see what file format you can save your beats into. Some allows only specific sound file format while others may be WAV, MIDI, AIFF etc. It's important that the sound format it allows can be easily transferable like MP3. Else, you can only play the beats using back the software and no other music player.
