Drum machines online are, without a shadow of a doubt, making it easy
for the "average joe" producer to make industry standard beats without
having to have an industry budget.
I mean seriously, using drum machines online is almost like cheating.
You can literally make a hot beat by mistake with these things. The
quality of sounds that come with these programs allow you the ability
to almost place them anywhere on the sequencer grid and get away with
it.
My favorite benefit of using one of these programs, is how user
friendly they are. They are made specifically for the newbie producer,
so if you happen to be a little more experienced, then you should be
able to dominate these things no problem.
Drum machines online usually tend to come with really simple
sequencers, which is a crucial part of the beat making process. The
perfect sequencer should allow you the ability to take the beat in
your head and put it down qucickly and accurately, before you lose it.
If the suequencer is too complicated, it makes the whole process
frustrating, which will suck the creative inspiration right out of
you.
I was attracted to this one particular program because on the front
page of their website, there's a guy actually humming a beat the way
he has it in his head. And then he puts it down on the sequencer the
exact way he had it in mind. That really stood out to me. It just
confirmed my point about drum machines online.
