Make Beats Online

By Mickey Roukeayeal

Can you actually make beats online? The rumors are true. Its a fact that technology advances each 18 months. In the last year music production software has changed seriously. There are music production suites for each budget. There are expensive programs like Reasons and ProTools. There are also inexpensive programs like Sonic Producer.

With the web keyboard you can play tunes and bass lines to help get the groove that you want for your beats. The eight drum pads help you tap out the beat that you would like with more accuracy. Most standard hardware beat machines have drum pads and Sonic Producer gives you this feature as well so you can have a more natural feel when making beats.

Though Sonic Producer cost less than an expensive meal for two at a Red Lobster, it can set the foundation for a 'hungry' producer to buy all of the meals he wants for the rest of his life.

This software not only has a sequencer, but it comes programmed with an extensive database of sounds for you to choose from to make your own beats. As a producer you need industry quality sounds so that people will take you and your music serious.

The web interface for Sonic Producer also boasts a keyboard, 8 drum pads, and a 16-track volume control. The 16-track volume control is great because you can mix sounds to levels that fit your track. A good mix can change the feeling of a beat.

One of the features that Sonic Producer has that Reasons 3.0 has not got is the power to convert your finished track in to mp3 format and export it. This implies you can download it to your Ipod, burn it to a CD, or maybe upload it to your MySpace.com page or any site that accepts mp3. You may even create your beat, save them at mp3 files and upload them for sale on sites like Rocbattle.com. .
