Welcome to YoBeatMaker’s Guide to Beat Making Software. In coming up with this guide, we wanted to set up a page where all the top beat making software would be listed and provide you with our trusted reviews, price comparisons and purchase information. A great deal of work has gone into setting this up, so please feel free to link to this page and spread the good word (however, please do not just copy and paste the whole article!). Also this is in no way meant to be a definitive list, but is a great starting point for any one looking to compare the top music production programs.
Best Beat Making Software
Below you’ll find the best beat making software used mainly for hip hop, electro and dance production. The following software is what most people are using to make beats, drum patterns, melodies, etc. They are all fairly easy to use as they all have a similar “step sequencer” interface which makes any of them ideal for the beginner or pro.
If you are new to beat making and want to make rap beats, we highly recommend Sonic Producer as it is easy to use and the cheapest beat making program. Check out our Sonic Producer Review for more details.

Sonic producer rocks! Thanks for the advice.
Yeah sonic producer for the win. Props bro.
fruityloops 9 is the best beat making program ever
sonic producers is good for beginners.
sonic producer is one of the best!
Reason/Record is the better program between the software listed. fruity loops has a great sequencer but terrible stock sounds. To put Sonic Producers above Reason is a joke!
Fl is the easiest, yet most technical program out there for the price. Obviously they have add-ons to up their sales, they have to make money. I highly suggest fl studio, and i would go fl9 producer edition at least.
I agree with what J Bravo said above. Also note that he is the only person who really gave reasons (no pun intended) to validate his opinion. Think about it, saying “it’s the best” and nothing more, doesn’t sound that convincing. I think because Reason is so complex/expensive that it may not be getting the credit it deserves.
My vote goes to FL Studio! I love it!
reason is the best out of all this..better sounds,better production
