Beat maker software and good music beats are hard to come by. When I was first starting out, I attempted to find pre-recorded, royalty-free mixes to use as background in my videos. If you're like me, you've hunted everywhere for free beats to lay behind your music tracks. What you usually get is something that never fits like you want it to and it sounds like numerous other. What I wanted was something else, something I could make original. I did not know a thing about producing tracks on my own, after all, my field is video. I tried all kinds of software and sites on the internet and found some good stuff out there, but I could never find package that did it all for me.

There are lots of sites and software out there and they all have their pros and cons. I've discovered that when hunting for any kind of software, not just for my music producer wishes it's best to make an inventory of the things I wanted it to meet. I decided the perfect beat maker software or web site had to meet the following factors :

1. Firstly, it needed to be user friendly. I had no real experience with sequencers or difficult mixers.

2. There had to be a big library of prerecorded sounds and instruments.

3. Possible combinations of sounds and timing needed to be unlimited.

4. Help texts needed to be easy to follow.

5. Output quality needed to be remarkable.

6. It needed to be in a position to output files in mp3 format.

7. If I needed help, there had to be good support.

8. It had to be INEXPENSIVE!

Your list may differ, rather, from mine, but I was trying to find the perfect package. I presumed initially that I was expecting too much, fortunately , after lots of looking, I found one to fit everything on my list.

There are many different places to look, both off and online.

1. Bricks and mortar stores, i.e. : traditional outlets like music and software stores.

2. Online stores that sell software, i.e. : Amazon, Overstock, Fry's, for example. ( do a search for music producer or beat creator software )

3. Forums are a great place to see what others are using.



4. Website-based software and groups. These are great, because they generally offer better support and have a group of members 7that may help each other.
