As far as music software, I've heard Reason was one of the best. I'm guessing a lot of producers these days start with just production software..

Also, what's PC of the Movement? lol. But that's pretty sick either was that you gonna have some tracks on his album...good luck with that.

Fruity Loops is a great place to start. Look on Limewire for the full version..it's pretty easy to find.

And once you get that, listen to your favorite artists, or your influences, and see what things you like about their beats, and try to recreate that, but using your own flavor.

I dont want it to make it sound like biting, because it's not biting, because music is just patterns. It's kind of hard to explain, but just start makin beats, your first beats don't have to sound good. Always remember that the snare is on the 2 and the 4 of the beat. haha. That's like the basic rule. Just keep on making beats thats all I can really say.

your signature "I'm out for the Dead Presidents To Represent Me" is a line from Problem Childs songs.
