For $300 you could by Ableton Live. It's a GREAT program. It's also free if you know where to look on the net...

aight someone school me on the basics then. from what i kno, im thinking i need a drum machine, keyboard and some type of computer recording program. whats good when it comes to the drum machines?

$300 is kinda light to get started but if you have a computer already, all you need is a DAW, a midi controller, headphones and studio monitorsr to make beats.

Search Craigslist first to see if you can get a good deal on any of these.

This joint right now is on sale for $99.

I can shoot you whatever software for your DAW to get started.

If you dont have a computer at all, you are gonna need more scrilla to get started.

If u want software i suggest torrents.

anything software related is free.

where can i get torrents for free?

I know torrents work for some folks but I could never understand it so I would get mine from download links posted on blogs and other messageboards.

i got 300 dollars to throw down on a drum machine, keyboard or computer program, whatever i need to start makin some beats. idk if i wana go with the actual machines or just get a program. i know 300 aint much but whatever advice yall got to get me started is much appreciated.

$300 really isn't a lot at all. But if you already have a decent computer just download a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) such as FL Studio, Reason, Pro tools, etc. from a torrent. (I would recommend FL Studio since the learning curve is a lot easier than other DAW's...) Download Vuze from Vuze.com. and you can search/download torrents from there. or thepiratebay.org.

Get a cheap Midi Controller (probably something from M audio) Some Headphones and some Monitor Speakers.

lol

thats not very much money

here's a video of a really dope keyboard thats out of your price range

Would also look for some VST's to better your sound.

Try looking at Hypersonic 2 or Nexus 2.

I don't use them anymore but they're pretty good.
