Yea Jabar does a lot more of this than I do (2Nyce does a lot too, I'm sure there are others) so reach out to them personally with questions.


A solid MIDI controller can make your life so easy (just play the beat and the program can be set up to align the MIDI info). Doing it by hand is a pain. Reason is a very very good tool (especially linked with Pro Tools!), but the biggest part of producing is actually coming up with solid work. The more expensive programs make your life easier, but they can't help you straight up create a better vision.


I would suggest messing around with FL until you feel like you need more and are ready to spend the money. I hear a lot of really shitty beats out of FL studio where people just put a bass every 4 and a kick and a snare and make some shitty 16 beat loop and think it's the shit.....get that past that phase of your producing and then spend the money once you have a clearer idea of what beats you want to produce.




Good Luck! Remember, the programs and hardwares are just tools, you are the core of the beat, doesn't matter what you use Hustle and Flow it.

How is the M audio Axiom 25?..... is it good for beginners to use?
