There's a package named 'Sonic Producer' that will only set you back around $30. Almost all of the music programs operate by the same basics. Each program offers a little something extra, but the guts are still the same. For starting out, Sonic Producer can let you get your feet wet without draining your bank account. Then later on if you want to move up to something that can enhance your creativity then fine. But here's as good a learning place as you need. Once you get your software, you want to start with your drum groove. This is the beat you want for your music. This determines tempo. Once you lay that down, you will move on to the bass line. This is an important step in learning how to make beats. It's crucial that your bass line compliments and mixes (or harmonizes) well with your drum groove. Next you want to decide according to the style of music you want to produce, what instruments you want to add. Here's where you really turn the 'creativity badger' loose. You can add anything from guitar to tuba or violin, sitar, saxophone. You name it. This is where your personality and musical creativity comes in. Your uniqueness should shine through your music from what you add here.
