How am I supposed to make my own tunes and beats for my own pop/rap songs?
Posted by adminSep 17
I have no clue on how to make a song, and I really wanna do that, but I hear you have to have a bunch of equipment to do beats, tunes, and other things. Are there any easy ways of making your own beats and tunes for songs that aren’t limited? Please be specific.
Thanks!

Nope, not really.
It depends on how much you want it.
Dont start off fancy, you’ll be good with a Digital Audio Workstation like Fruity Loops or Reason, and a Mic

you can use software like fruity loops, reason and ableton that don’t require other equipment. they are all really easy to use and a with quick read on the manuals you can be up and running within an hour or so. these do not require hardware as they can just use your PC’s on board sound card that will do the job fine.
the complicated bit comes in when you want to record vocals on your track. this is often where specific hardware comes in. but these days you buy usb microphones which you just plug in to your pc (or Mac) and select it in your software. (fruity loops and reason can’t record audio you would have to another software like ableton or cubase)
hope this helped

you can download the demo version of FL Studio to make beats (which is the free version) and to record songs you can use Cool Edit Pro (which is not that expensive) it’s a program that requires a mic to record songs. for a good mic i suggest you got get a studio mic, but if you don’t won’t to spend a lot of money try out a church mic first to see how it works.
p.s you can download cool edit pro for free from lime wire but that would be STEALING so I suggest you pay for it. amd for F L Studio you can upgrade to the one of the real versions which ranges from $50 to $250…or you can download it from lime wire….BUT I SUGGEST YOU PAY FOR IT….. if you wanna make honest money you should start of doing it the HONEST WAY remember GOD is watching you!!!!!!! also when you become really good at making beats you can start selling them to local rappers. and maybe you can let LiL wayne or 50 cent hear some of beats… you can get rich making beats just like timberland

macs have everything needed to make professional sounding recordings and beats. me and my friend have written and recorded over 30 songs in about 3 months, about 20 of them we made our own beats, all using garageband and text edit. one of the many reasons why macs are better than pcs.
