I am trying to find a good beat making program.



I used FL for a long time, looking for something else tho.


If anyone has samples of something they have done with a certain program that would be awesome as well.



Looking to make some hip hop/ rap beats.
Pretty hard hitting on the base, simple everywhere else, but I would like to be able to run a drum pad/ midi in once I get one



Thank you for your time.

I heard Dr. Dre makes them.






































but FL studio works fine for your purposes

try hammerhead rhythm station

FL Studio and Ableton Live and very well known for making beats.

I have both of these.
well,

working on getting ableton 8 right meow ;p

Well then your set lol

Other than that I think Cubase is pretty nice for making beats easy and fast.

Yeah I am used to using FL



I will probably just snag up a nice little drumpad or something so I can Midi in and make stuff manually a lot faster.

Midi Keyboards with a pad are very useful.

I recommend M-Audio Axiom 28 or 49. How ever may keys you perfer.

reason is a really good beat making program my brother makes all his with them check out his page at he also uses pro tools some times
www.donnyknots.com or go to sound click and search for donny knots to hear some of his beats
