Question by pinkpanther_363: What equipment do I need to become a music producer?
I live, eat, breathe, Hip – Hop. I would love to become a music producer, but I don’t know where to start. All I have is a casio keyboard. I need to know what equipment I need to make and record beats. I know I need a mpc, but that costs alot of money. Please help me I really want to go into the music business.

A lot of the industry has gone digital and using software programs, You May want to consider looking at programs like
“Ableton live”
“Soundforge”
They can offer you a hands on approach to learning the basics of producing you own stuff, with all sorts of preloaded samples. You can also load in existing tunes, cut them, splice them, and slap on a remix title.
The “Ableton Live” is my preferred suggestion – Great program for the beginner, all the way up to a seasoned pro.
You can download a functioning copy for free – look them up; I promise you will be impressed.
***Be sure to read the manual and follow the tutorial!!!
Good luck!
