One of the most helpful programs you may make use of on your computer at home to create high quality beats is referred to as Pro Tools. Pro Tools is great for mixing, editing, scoring, sequencing, and recording. There are a few different versions of Pro Tools you can use such as Pro Tools 8, which is great for any beat maker that wants to experiment with different instruments and sounds to make original sounding beats.

One of the top professional beat producing programs on hand now a days is Reason. This program is a popular choice among many musicians mainly for it's midi sequencing. This program is especially at the top of it's class when it comes to samples, because it has almost an unlimited source of them.
