Beat/Music Producing Software

Yeah forgot to mention futureproducers. Love going there for samples and seeing how everybody else does. Soundclick is pretty cool, I use that to put all my stuff on.


I recorded using camtasia but not really liking how it came out. I have to find out how people record it nice and clean. It was real fun making this with my two other friends. One friend was on the keyboard and another using his acoustic guitar. I know some of the notes might be sloppy but its still a work in progress. The electric guitar at the end is sloppy because we used a midi guitar.

I have used Reason for several years and would agree with those who mentioned it.

The Prodigy did an entire recent album on Reason. With house music, Dave Spoon can make some crazy sounds on there...

Just to add with your buddy making Hip Hop... Here's DJ Toomp who has made beats for Kanye West, Jay Z etc.

Logic

nothing else anyone posted can compete with it, it's on another level.

Ableton is pretty nice though.
 
Logic Pro. Period. In combination with Reason and maybe MOTU Digital Performer you're a studio on one machine.
 
New version of DubTurbo was just released free to those all the people who bought the product in earlier releases. Does what I need and new sound kits are released all the time. I'm by no means a professional beat/music maker, but if it's for in an ad, website, or video you're making, I get everything I need done with it pretty easy.
 
Reaper is brilliant.

If it weren't for the fact that Pro-Tools is standard everywhere, I would use Reaper all the time.

Can't speak highly enough of it.
