Hey thanks I was a bit confused following some vids on beat grid yours answered my questions.

I've got away without doing it for years now I'm trying drum and bass on the new traktor software and alot of the tunes are really out so I've got to fix it now 👍

[thedjpodcast]

@nicolaseburgos No. You're going to want to look into a program like Ableton Live, Reason, Logic, Cakewalk Sonar, Cubase or Pro Tools.

@nicolaseburgos Honestly, it just depends on how much money you want to spend and what you want to get from the particular application. One other application I forgot to mention is FLStudio. It seems to be the go to starter application for budding producers.

@thedjpodcast Thank you. Which one do you recommend?

[nicolaseburgos]

I've always wanted to create my own beats, is that possible in the computer with traktor pro 2?

[thedjpodcast]

@tread0carefully The concept is the same, but there are some differences. We have a separate video on how to beatgrid in Traktor Pro 2.

@thedjpodcast I forgot to mention, I'm willing to spend all money I can. Which is best if you are pro?

@nicolaseburgos Ask 10 people and they'll give you 10 different answers. Just depends what you want. I'd suggest you download the trial of different ones, they them out, and decide for yourself.
