Beat Maker Reviews - Which Beat Maker Makes the Most Sense For You

Beat maker reviews are pretty much all over the Web and seeing that there are an extensive amount of options for today's aspiring musician, this makes sense. However it's important to remember that not all beat makers are created equal, however most of them will have some great features that will take your music to the next level, especially if you are just starting out.
For instance, let's take a look at the grand-daddy of music beat maker, Pro Tools. This thing can pretty much do anything, from recording your own audio to adding literally thousands of plug-ins and the capability of hundreds of thousands of samples and sounds. There is pretty much nothing Pro Tools can't do for you.
But here comes the problem - who wants to spend over a thousand bucks just to get the stripped down version, set up tons of hardware, buy good monitors, all the different cords and let's not forger the learning curve which could take months or even years to figure out. The problem, is that for most people that just want to make some quick beats to layover with vocals, Pro Tools doesn't make much sense, especially if you are just starting out.
Now let's look at an alternative software beat maker - Sonic Producer. This includes 16-tracks, a virtual drum-pan, virtual piano-key set and thousands of sounds. The best part in my opinion, is that you can be up and running in minutes and making great beats in just seconds!
With Sonic Producer everything is completely online - so no expensive hardware, no plugs and cords and gizmos to worry about, and the best part is that you can easily export your songs to mp3 with the click of a mouse. The price is well under fifty bucks and this is a one-time fee that also gives you access to the forum as well as offering tons of tutorials.
Another great buy is Acoustica's BeatCraft. Also a well prices beat maker, this should get great beat maker reviews across the board. This is because it is very simple to use, and includes a full functioning virtual drum machine. With a beat maker like Pro Tools you have to get your hardware for making beats, or buy an outrageously expensive plug-in, but with Acoustica's BeatCraft all you need is a computer and a mouse and within minutes you're writing darn good beat loops that you can export to WAV or mp3.
The point I am making is that a lot of beat maker reviews are not going to tell you these little bits of information, and will simply throw out really neat features you may never use on a software beat maker you simply can't afford.
If you're just starting out and want to throw together some beats, then Sonic Producer or BeatCraft are the perfect options. Why? They're cheap and they're easy to use. There is a very short learning curve for these products and believe you me, this is not the case with Pro Tools. I know guys that have been working with Pro Tools for years and still haven't come close to mastering its full potential. This is a good thing if you have the time and money to invest in learning it, but for the rest of us, starting with a nice beat maker is really the smart way to go. In other words, it's a no-brainer.
