In the recent years, upcoming music creators would have to had known people in the hip-hop underground, make a few mix tracks, stave off almost hundred dollars, and take a adventure to the local rap studio to want any of their hiphop beats recorded. This made for an enormous challenge for those attempting to get in with making their own rap beats, and kept a lot of newcomers from acheiving much. Even sooner than this, beginners would be forced to buy pricey desktop rap beat production programs that was near impossible to grasp and absorb. Now, there are online beat makers that make it easier than before to start making rap beats online.

What should you search for in an online hip hop track maker? The feature that separates online beat creators from their expensive friends is ease of use. Desktop rap maker software is technically difficult and has a lot of extraneous controls and features that most new producers will not use. Online hip-hop beat makers do with out this “fluff” and give you only the stuff that you will need (the best ones actually). Be on the lookout for easy exporting to the infamous mp3 format (the sound format that you use burn onto a blank CD to show your friends your tracks), a simple user interface, and a large marge preset sample collection.

The option to export files to mp3 format was of great importance to myself when I first began looking for an online hip-hop beat maker. One program that I used in the past, which I won’t name, made it so hard for me to save my beats as mp3s. See, it was seriously necessary for me to be able to do this because I created a ton of beat tapes for car rides with my beat maker friends. We would show each other our beats and give critiques. Before signing up for a hip hop beat producing website, look to make sure they have mp3 exportability. I know sites like Sonic Producer have this included.

Next, a simple UI or user interface is the key to finding the best online rap beat maker. The basic premise of switching from offline to online is totally about the producer’s experience. You should be able to produce hip hop tracks, and it shouldnt be a hard task. A few clicks, drags, and taps and you will be sure to have a sick beat laying out in front of you. If the program you are looking at does not seem easy to get started, then simply move on to the next one.

As I said, be sure to look for a nice big preset sound library. This goes hand in hand with the ease of use and the whole idea of having an online hip hop beat maker in the first place. It is much easier to make your own rap beats and instrumentals if you have a lot of scratches and loops to choose from. Previously, sites and programs would start you with nada and expect you to understand ways to synthesize beats and loops.

There is one website that worked perfectly for me is an online rap beat maker called Sonic Producer. I am sure you will find that not only is this one of the best valued websites to become a member of, it is also one of the easiest systems to start producing hip-hop beats on line in no time flat. This system gets beginners started better than any nearly any software I have used. Their customer support is superb, and their online hip-hop beat producer is even better. And yes, they have mp3 exportability. To find out more about this beat maker, check out Beat Makers Online.

If you take your time browsing online you will find lots of downloadable digital beat makers. But are they any good? What should you look for and which ones are worth pulling out your wallet for?

Many people have searched for different types beat maker’s but unfortunately many are immediately out of people’s price range. A lot of the software you find is for professionals or very committed amateurs that own some kind of studio.

There are some lower end and even free downloadable products, but many of these are certainly in the low quality bracket. The audio is not great, they can be difficult to use and often miss vital features such as editing and exporting.

Can you imagine how frustrating it is to spend hours creating a great beat, only to find there are a few mistakes that you cannot correct, nor can you actually get this beat off your computer and onto a CD or MP3?

Avoid this low end of the market like the plague.

Luckily there is a mid range downloadable products that will certainly not break the bank. You can get incredible results from some $30 programs, have all the features you need and allow you to export any track any time you like.

The quality of these mid-range programs is very, very good. In fact to compete with the audio quality of one or two of the programs you would have to look at professional software!

There is obviously a good market for downloadable digital beat makers and this is what has resulted in a few fantastic programs. Competition is stiff so the creators of such software have to produce very high quality and affordable results.

The choices on the net for hip hop beats and rap instrumentals are staggering. With so many choices, how do you wade through all the beat sites to find the right instrumentals for your album or demo? What is clear to me is that just because the first 20 shops that pop up for the search term “rap beats” are on the page, does not mean these folks are good producers or engineers, or composers for that matter.

After finding some beats, listen to the quality of the song first. Is the song structured in a way that will work for you? Do they list song tempo in case you need to chop it up in computer DAW. Next, how’s the over all production of their rap instrumentals? If it’s distorted on your computer’s speakers, even if you’re listening to the lo-fi version, the version you download is not going to be much better.

Are the hip hop beats royalty free, or are you prepared for possible legal headaches later on down the line? Royalty free hip hop beats are a great way to go, as a royalty free track won’t cost you much dough up front. These beats are also referred to as non-exclusive beats.

Exclusive beats are a great option if you have the budget, as these types of hip hop instrumentals are more expensive, but you will have a fully produced track that no one else has. The producer or beats shop, may still own the copywrite so read the fine print. Sometime all the producer or beat shop will want is credit on your album (“track produced by blah, blah, blah.com”) with you keeping all the profits of the sales of your record. Not a bad deal really. Keep in mind exclusive beats are anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.

What file format will the instrumentals be delivered on, mp3, wav? If mp3 is what you’re getting, is it a “cd quality” mp3? If you’re headed to the studio with your download, it might be better to have the file delivered as a 16 or 24bit wav. file as the sound quality can be better. If the lo-fi demo sounded good off the net, than ask the beat shop if they can send you a wav of the track the studio will more than likely prefer that. It may be a good idea to ask the studio to make a recommendation as to the file format

When starting out in the music biz, you need to be informed. I hope this info will empower you in making the right choices.

A common question of many people who are just starting out in the world of music production is how to make a rap beat online. Making rap beats online can be a fun and rewarding hobby, sometimes even offering financial incentives if your skills are up to the task. I have watched many people go from no experience whatsoever to selling beats to local and national rappers for decent prices. They all started with online rap beat makers and then worked your way up.

One online rap beat maker that some people like to use is the new”game” by Timbaland and the company behind Rockstar games, called “Beaterator”. Rockstar is the company behind hit games like the GTA series. The beat maker started out as an elaborate flash game experiement on their website, but grew in popularity so fast that they are now coming out with an even better version for the PSP. The game is sort of like guitar hero for music producers, and it has some pretty nice features for a game.

Another online rap beat maker that is a favorite of many people I know in the industry, is called Sonic Producer. The reason it’s a favorite isn’t the rap beat maker itself. Don’t get me wrong, it’s top of the line… 16 tracks, adjustable panning and volumes for each, 8 dj pads, instrument support, mp3 export capability, and thousands of preset loops and beats…But the reason they love it so much is this: most desktop rap beat makers never cost too much less than $200.

Sonic Producer offers a membership to their website for $29. Twenty nine dollars. Membership includes access to the rap beat maker, which is worth twice that by itself, but membership also includes access to an enormous wealth of knowledge right at the tip of your fingers. They include at no extra cost THOUSANDS of beat making lessons on video. They give you some of the best customer service I’ve ever seen for such a website. Also, if you want to start selling your beats to artists, you have a whole community right in front of you that will point you in the right direction. Learn more about this website here.

A lot of people have been asking me what to look for in an online rap beat maker. An online rap beat maker is a beat maker program that lets you design and record rap beats using an online music synthesizer. There have been a number of these programs on the internet, and I will tell you what makes a quality digital music production experience.

First, you need to think about what kind of music you want to be making. If you want to make trance for example, you might be better off going the offline route via something like FL studio. If you want to make rap beats online, I would suggest something more along the lines of Sonic Producer. Fruity Loops has many LFOs and techno-sounding synths (only if you’re running the producer edition), whereas Sonic Producer has many more hip-hop and rap beats, loops, and samples.

Another thing to be on the lookout for is what kinds of file formats you can export your online rap beats to. For example, it is very important for me to be able to export my rap beats as mp3s because I enjoy being able to burn them onto CDs to show my friends. One program I used in the past which I won’t mention didn’t have mp3 support, and I didn’t find that out until after I had paid for a membership to the site. Needless to say, I’m not a member there anymore.

Speaking of paid memberships, that’s another thing to look for. What I’ve found is that if you have to pay a small free for membership to use rap beat making software, they usually include enough quality extras to make it worth your money. For example, if you join the Sonic Producer website, the membership is only $29 but they really make it worth your while. They give you a huge library of free beats, loops, and samples, give you instrument support, 8 dj pads etc. They also let you export to mp3, which as I said earlier is very important to me. My personal favorite part about the membership is the video tutorials. If the online rap beat maker you’re using doesn’t have free video tutorials, then you should probably reconsider where you spend your money.

Previously, up-and-coming hip hop beats producers would be required to know people in the industry, make a couple of mix tapes, save a few grand, and head off to the studio with their fingers crossed. This was an enormous obstacle for those trying to get their start making hip hop beats, and prevented many from ever making a single track. Not too long after this era, with the rise of computers,  they would be required to get painfully overpriced hip hop beat making software that was hard to understand and impossible to learn. Now, online hip hop beat makers make it easier than ever for these people to get a foot in the door.

So, what things should you look for in an online hip hop beat maker program? The ease of use of the system is what separates online beat makers from their desktop software friends. Desktop hip hop beat maker software is filled with controls and features that would never be used by beginners; the online hip hop beat makers cut out this unneeded fluff and started giving users only what they need to make sick hip hop tracks. Some common features to be on the lookout for: easily adjustable tempo, easy export to common files such as mp3, multiple tracks, and a preset instrument sound and beat library.

Being able to export to mp3 was important to me when I first started looking for an online rap beat maker. One program that I used in the past, which I won’t name, made it very hard for me to save my rap beats as mp3s. See, it was very important for me to be able to do this because I tend to burn a lot of mix tape discs for long rides with my friends who also make hip hop beats. Before signing up for a hip hop beat making site, check to make sure they have mp3 exportability. I know sites like Sonic Producer have this included.

Next, an uncluttered easy to use user interface is of utmost importance. The entire point of moving to making hip hop beats online is the ease of use of these sites. You must to be able to make beats with little effort: if you find yourself struggling you are probably using the wrong program. Don’t confuse ease of use with poor quality however, programs like Sonic Producer are top of the line but cut down on the stuff that isn’t needed.

As I said, also be sure to look for a nice big preset sound library. This goes hand in hand with the ease of use and the whole principle behind having an online rap beat maker in the first place. It is much easier to make your own hip hop beats and instrumentals if you have a lot of hits, loops, drums, and instruments to choose from. In the past, sites and programs would start you with nothing and expect beginners to know how to synthesize samples and loops.
