Beat Making

Its not new news to find out that more and more young people are creating and mixing music. The most common type of music made most people would think to be dub step or techno but actually the most created music is RNB and Rap.

A very cool piece of technology that anyone can try without a limit is called FL Studio.  Although on the free versions you can not save any of the tracks, all of the features are completely unlocked.  The software gives the freedom to use many different instruments. Fruity Loops is the mots common name for the software and has actually give many artists the ability to get there name out.  The software combined with youtube and youtube's advertising and money making makes it also very profitable to get lots of views on videos.

"FL Studio is one of the world's most popular and exciting music production systems. Everything you need in one package to compose, arrange, record, edit, mix and master professional quality music." - http://www.image-line.com

Although it making beats isn't you thing but you still like making the music a little more personal, Virtual DJ is another very cool program I recommend.  Ive personally used this program, and it lets you use all of the music on your computer, shortcut favor commands and remix your music or slide between sings like a real dj.  The software is fairly easy to learn, and if you even obtain a vinyl turn table you can actually hook it upto this software. Don't have money? it doesn't really matter because when you're learning you get to use the home version which gives you all the features of the real deal without paying a cent.  this program is DEFINITELY a must for anyone need starting off.
