It will make you a better producer/artist in the long run and teach you some much need patience but if you don't have that option then go with the Fruity Loops thing...I personally like Reason though, it emulates hardware real well and you just can't beat their Scream Distortion unit.
Before you start making beats, try to understand drums and basslines and what makes them tick...even if you think you already know. You're gonna need to learn what seperates a 'great' snare sound from an 'ok' snare sound etc..
good luck!

oh yea i know what your saying ge the lil plug that fits in back of my computer that says mic ???or one of hose yes i have what u are saying bomb !! i pic in corner of a lil mic i also have a condenser that fits in back of my computer your saying plug it in like that really that will work and just use like burnign rom???or cool edit???let m ekno wif im right thanks 4 help let me know morewakeupbomb said:When I first started I used Cool Edit Pro. It's fairly simple once you get working with it. When you bought your computer it should've come with a soundcard. It's where your speaker are plugged in. There should be a 1/8 inch plug on it that either has a picture of a mic by it or something like that. You can just go from the audio out on the Triton (which is 1/4 inch probably) into that soundcard...you'll need to get a converter to turn the 1/4 inch plug into an 1/8 inch plug, and then you can just set up whatever recording software you have to take audio from that soundcard. Other then that, I guess you can go from the Triton through USB and get a MIDI sequencer and put it in that way somehow....not sure how to do that though...I don't know that much about MIDI.
but how do i get the triton beats into my compute program liek burnign rom??etcnewatbeats said:oh yea i know what your saying ge the lil plug that fits in back of my computer that says mic ???or one of hose yes i have what u are saying bomb !! i pic in corner of a lil mic i also have a condenser that fits in back of my computer your saying plug it in like that really that will work and just use like burnign rom???or cool edit???let m ekno wif im right thanks 4 help let me know more
