Beat maker software programs are often thought of being very expensive and very difficult to use, but in this article I will show you how you can get your hands on professional quality software for less than $30.

I will also demonstrate how easy it is to create a killer beat.

The User-board or Interface:

Most of the programs available have a very simple interface that looks like a mixing desk. The best will also include a timeline. This is where you select your beats, drums, sounds and instruments then drop them onto the timeline in the appropriate place. Some of the best programs have a small visual piano keyboard where you can add chords or melodies of different instruments, like guitars, pianos, strings and bass guitar.

Make your beat.

Now is the simple task of selecting your sound, clicking on it and dragging it to the appropriate place on the timeline. So let’s imagine you want a kick or bass drum on beat one of each bar. Firstly click on your bass drum then drag it to where a number one is marked at the start of each bar. Now simply playback the beat and you will see a cursor move along the timeline and you should hear your bass drum on beat one of each bar.

Simply repeat this process with all of your different drum sounds or instrument sounds until you have built up the exact track you want.

Bonus features.

Always look for a program that has some very cool features or bonuses. One that I particularly like is the ‘live play in’ feature. This is great if you can hear it be in your head but you aren’t sure where each sound should go. The live play in feature allows you to tap your mouse in the rhythm of your beat as if you are playing a drum live in a studio.

A lot of the great beat maker software programs that are available online will have this feature amongst many, more and they will be very, very affordable.

Many people are looking into different types of beat maker software and most people think that any program is going to be expensive and difficult to use. Fortunately due to the rapid expansion of Internet technology we can dispel both of those myths.

Getting your hands on some great programs that produce high-quality beats is simple and very affordable. The best ones on the market can cost you well under $40 and they are simple enough for you to begin creating beats the day you download it.
 
Desktop/Interface. 

Always look for a program that has a simple, easy-to-use and visually satisfying desktop or Interface. This is the place where you will do your work and most of the programs you some great graphics so that it looks like you are staring at a mixing desk, with tone controls, volume controls etc and maybe even a piano keyboard. 

You should be able to sample all of the different beats, sounds and instruments and either drag and drop them onto a timeline or play them in real time and record as you do this. Imagine this like a virtual instrument interface right on your computers monitor. 

Creating Your Beat. 

Firstly begin by selecting one or two drum sounds that you like. Click and drag these onto your timeline. It may be a good idea to try something simple at first, like a pace or kick drum on each one and three of each bar, with a snare on beta two and four. If you add a closed higher sound on every heartbeat or quarter beat throughout each bar you will have a simple yet effective beat within a matter of minutes. 

Obviously the better you get and the more creative you become will result in some great sounding beats for any type of music. 

Always make sure your beat maker software comes with the option to export your finished work either onto a CD or as an MP3.
