Have you been searching for a beat creator that doesn't produce more haters and discouragement for you than beats? Well, you'll more than likely have to try 10 more of them before you locate one that actually will give you the beat making tools to match your determination and raw skill...Unless, of course, you know the four indicators that your beat creator ain't legitimate.
1. Your Beat is Flawed Before You Start Producing it
If your beats are produced on sand, they can not stand. What's sand? Sand is samples that are 2nd or 3rd generation mp3 files. Create a beat with these and it doesn't matter how firmly it bangs, it's going to fall flat once it bangs speakers. By the way, using wav samples and exporting to anything less than 44.1 wav is just as lost of a cause. If you beat creator software doesn't value studio quality, it's about as valuable to you as a Toys R Us purchased recording studio.
2. It's On the Loopy Side
Invaluable distinction here for anyone who wants to make banging beats, rather than a tiresome banging sound equivalent to construction work: a beat looper loops one bar, while a beat creator creates patterns of bars. If your beat creator fits into the latter category, you might as well just go and get a tape recorder and record somebody pounding nails into their fence or something - no joke. There's no point. If you're completely serious about producing decent mixes, alternatively, get a program that enables you to raise your bar count to 16 bars bare minimum.
3. You Need to Navigate Through TV Commercials to Use it
If your beat creator insists that you answer five low IQ testing questions each and every time you want to sequence a bar, causes you to stay up until the early morning while importing your sounds and saving your kits, and lags any time you try to record and play back, it's an online beat maker. If it's an online beat creator it's not a downloadable software. If it's not a desktop program, it's not real and almost unquestionably fits into the two categories of fakeness above. Any Questions?
4. It's One Screen
Admitted - a beat creator can't be expected to replace a $50,000 studio. But it should be expected to try. If your beat creator is merely a sequencer, with maybe some volume leveling (hopefully on individual tracks, but probably not) it's not fooling anyone, and hopefully not you. To mix beats with the combination punch power and memory singeing melodies you get from the best producers, you're going to require something to replace the MPC and synth (and all kinds of additional mayhem, probably worth more than your car) that they're relying upon. You're going to require, put simply, a beat creator with separate drum machine and keyboard screens, in addition to a sequencer. You should be able to toss around bars and change sounds and kits in a snap. And, if you're especially wise in your choosing, it'll let you bang out your beat on the keyboard you type English papers on (potentially saving you $1,000s on midi hardware).
