Answer 1

Really, you can make a beat with just about anything that records. Just take sounds from around the house that make interesting beats and mix them on a compter using any basic audio mixing program. Listen to the song "What Up Man" by The Cool Kids. The beat was mostly made by the guys mouth and a bell. Just playing around with basic mixing programs made it into a sweet beat.

If you want to be a little more specific, then use Fruity Loops, it's pretty basic, yet has the ability to be VERY advanced. Or try Mix Man, it's an older program, but works pretty good for making some interesting beats.  

Answer 2

Fl Studio 8, go to there website, just search on google, they give a free Demo.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Turntable, sampler, drum machine.

Do work, son!

Answer 4

Fruity Loops thats a program to make beats

Answer 5

Try a program called Fruity Loops. It's a very easy to use, inexpensive program that I would highly recommend. Otherwise, Limewire has downloadable beats.

Answer 6

Here's a gift, from me to you.

Fruity Loops Studio 7

No Adware or Spyware.

And it's the full version.

Answer 7

I make rap beats! I have a synthesizer and I could make you some sweet sounds at no charge, just include my name when you sell the song ^^

Email me at [e-mail]

BTW what kind do you want?

House mix?

Standard hip-hop?

Email me what you need for your lyrics! Oh the lyrics would help if you don't have an Idea of what your looking for.

One more thing... you won't be able make music YOURSELF without...

1. Experience

2. Synthesizer

3. Drum Set

4. Recorder

5. A fortune to spend on the stuff. =D

6. Or a personal instrumentalist like me (Most of em charge)

I can make it all =D!

Another thing... FRUITY LOOPS STUDIO ISN'T FREE!

The trail is but you can't save it to put on a CD.... so it's not worth it... plus the download is bundled with ADWARE and SPYWARE (viruses >.< in other terms for inexperienced computer users)

That download link that guy gave you is from a filesharing site... for him to give you an PAID FOR program to you FOR FREE is illegal.  If you download it your breaking the law.

I'm not a P2P hater but it is illegal and I'm just warning him.

Hope That Helped!
