Finding the right one can be a bit tricky. Think about these pointers before investing on your own virtual drum machine.

Features that are incredible What features should you look in a drum beat maker? Maybe one of the most essential features that you should consider is for the software to have its own sound editor and sequencer. This provides you the freedom to twitch certain percussion sounds in the pads. Most beat making programs have 10 pads for you to fill out for a drum loop. But just for those who like more flexibility how these sounds are actually delivered from one track to the next, it is essential for you to have direct, unlimited control of the separate percussion sounds. With its own sequencer you can be assured to create a mix that will definitely impress you from the get go.

Interface: usability right out of the box What's important about user interfaces is its usability. Ease of use lets you create immediately without wasting time learning the controls of the beat making program. Frustration is a musician's worst enemy. It stops creativity from flowing, and keeps yourself on the technical side of beat making everyday. Keep in mind that making beats, music, is both an art and a science. With a user friendly interface, your workflow is unhampered and you get to make great beats fast.

Audio quality and outstanding clarity You will find many beat making software that deliver drum loops in the MP3 format. This could be great for portability and ease of importing the beats from different music processing programs. However, if you're making beats for professionals, you have to deliver quality output all the time. 16.1 stereo WAV is the standard to aspire for. So don't settle with drum beat makers that give you any less.

Samples: quantity and quality When it comes to samples you need to both consider its quantity and quality. You should have enough so you can create more beats in various time signatures. Having more samples also gives you the ability to mix and match therefore making your final loops sound better. But as a musician you also need to make sure that the sample choices are refined to inspire you, not bore you with repetitive beats that seems to sound like the same with the other hundred in the sample list.
