What are some of the best programs for making beats currently available? Noob friendly would be a PLUS ++ Thanks in advance!
You know I used FL Studio XXL Edition to make a lot of my songs. Here are just 2 of many. jizzledfreq by Jarrel Craig Walker on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free I also use Garage Band on my iPod touch, have an iRig Microphone and Instrument Jack to record my voice and guitar riffs. I recently purchased FL Studio Mobile for my iPod touch as well. Others will argue that these programs aren't the best out there, but you know what? They work for me and my musical needs.
If you're using a Mac then it's gotta be Logic. If not, I used to use Ableton. It's difficult to get a hang of at first but once you know your way around it, it does some pretty cool shit
If you like sampling at all, Logic Pro is hella good, the interface for sampling caters very nicely to chopping up vocals and mapping them to keys
