I'm very interested in learning to start making my own beats. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone that produces electronically, and have basically no idea where to start.
I've had turntables for nearly two years and play around town every now and again, but never had the oppurtunity due to time or the drive to learn how beats are made and what goes into it. I play drumnbass and breaks, but have also been into hip hop for a long time. I've come to the point where i'd like to learn how it all works and try to put out things that I have bouncing around inside my head.
For a beginner, what program(s) would you recommend I start with? Something that'll allow me to learn the ropes and get the basics down would be preferred! Any great tutorial site links would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
