Dubturbo - Why It Is The Best Hip Hop Music Production Software For Beginners

There are a few options for buying software programs that you can use to make hip hop beats and other genres. This is quite a daunting prospect for the beginner as they are overwhelmed by all of the choice. All the beginner wants to do is get a beat maker that has all of the necessary features, does not break the bank and is easy to use.

As most beat production software programs are aimed at the professional end of the scale, with a massive learning curve, the beginner beat maker programs are sometimes light on features.

This article will discuss why Dubturbo is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, audio production software for the beginner.

When choosing a piece of software for beat creation, make sure that it uses WAV files at 16 bit, 44.1 kHz at least. This means that the beats you produce are of industry standard. If you use a software that implements MP3 files, there is a marked loss in audio quality due to the MP3 algorithm compressing the audio. Dubturbo uses WAV files at the required bit depth and sample rates.

You can use LameXP or Audacity later to make MP3 files if you wish. These are both free.

Dubturbo is also more than a 1 bar looper so you will not produce music that is boring and you won't get bored making the music.

What is great about Dubturbo is that you can import your own sounds so you can produce music with your own sonic signature and therefore be individual.

The fact that Dubturbo is a studio in a box means that you do not need any more hardware as you can use the computer keyboard to input beats. You can edit, tweak, layer using the thousands of sounds, effects processing and synths that come with Dubturbo over 16 tracks. If you get stuck there are video tutorials anyway and you will be making your first beat in less than 20 minutes!

A really amazing feature is that you can sell your beats online using their sales roster. Dubturbo even help you monetize your creations. There is also a thriving community that are always there to give advice and tell you what else you need to put into your music. When you've finished creating, you can even export your beats to CD and take them anywhere.

The software works on Mac and PC, and you do not need a high spec machine. It works both from your hard drive or online. I would suggest you keep to working offline though as you know how fragile the internet is. I wouldn't want you losing your new creation due to a network crash.

At the moment Dubturbo is less than $30, and really is the best audio production software product for the beginner I've seen on the market in a while.
