A. The creation of music using a computer and as little skills as possible.

Technology today has been developed so that the dumbest people can create beats with no trouble. Synthesisers, drum machines, mixing boards, turntables. All of these tools which gave room for errors have been replaced by sound creators which have all the tools of yesterday created in it. If you hear a synthesised recording and compare it to a live DJ mixing beats, it is not hard to tell which is done on the computer. The computer makes beats which sound too perfect to be true. There could be the best DJ around but they cannot compete with the technology today.

It doesn't take a genius to create a few simple beats and loop them together to create a superior version then someone that does it manually. What can take you three minutes on the computer would take a DJ hours to compile. There are two sides to these creations though, it can be said that it lacks the heart and skills which have made hip-hop what is it today. Some say there is no real talent in it and that any wannabe can come up to compete. On the lighter side average Joe Blows can feel like the top of the world, as if they accomplished something great. We are not all hip-hop artists or skilled like those that are gifted but if gives those people who love hip-hop to be able to put themselves in the shoes of the greats.

Personally I am a talented individual but I can understand how People are not as gifted as I am and that's okay, cause the skills can be handed out to you through a computer program that can do all the legwork for you.

B. Steps to Creating the Perfect Beat and Recording Your Rhymes:

1. You need a drumbeat creator, What I suggest is Fruity Loops.
2. Now That Your Beats can be created next you will need an Audio Voice Recorder and the program which works best for me is Sound Forge.

These web-sites contain guides and tutorials on how to use the software which comes in handy when trouble arises. Commonly asked questions and frequent updates are all on the web-sites, it makes the whole process very user friendly. If the web-sites do not have the help you need there are email address where you can ask the experts themselves.

Warning These Programs Can Be very expensive so this hobby may not be for everyone.

Hint: Pirated Versions do exist, although I have never used illegal software. It is not recommended! Do so at your own risk.
