Sonic Producer is a revolutionary concept from an industry-leading producer, J Lewis. This software allows for users at any skill level to create professional beats with ease.
It seems as though many people who wish to make beats online believe that they must purchase an entire audio workstation to effectively create beats. Though it is possible to create some killer beats with these expansive workstations, there are alternatives out there that will give you the same results for a fraction of the price. The reason I am reviewing Sonic Producer is simple; for those who are interested in beat making, this program has the greatest value compared to its competitors. With top notch production quality, an extremely easy to use interface, and a ridiculously low price, this is the best investment an aspiring beat producer can make.

I found a few good sites with plenty of sound effects.

Enjoy.
Image-Line has made enormous strides in the music production industry with their prized workstation, FL Studio. Formerly known as “Fruity Loops,” the beat making machine has evolved into an expansive virtual audio studio that offers producers immense flexibility and allows for innovation.
FL Studio comes bundled with everything necessary to record voice/instruments, create music from scratch, manipulate audio, and become a world famous musician (okay, well maybe not the last one). So sit back, relax, and enjoy the review.
If you fellas didn’t know already, vipzone has some nice free samples and some really cool remix contests. They just released their newest sample pack entitled “Hardcore Vocals” for download. You can get the free preview of it on the front page, or click here to download it directly.
For those of you who are interested in how to make beats online, I have reviewed two digital audio workstations that will allow you to make beats on your computer. The two that I have chosen have a commonality; they are sequencer-based programs which is essential if you want to make your own beats. The following programs I will review are in my opinion, the best programs to make beats online at their respective price levels.
This is actually my first full piece that I made with FL Studio. Personally, I think the mastering could use a lot of work. Any feedback is appreciated!

I will keep looking for more free loops and samples and update this list.
First off, I’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and much good fortune in 2009. Though it is seems somewhat designed to have the first post on the first day of the year, I can assure you, it just kind of… happened that way.
The intent of Audible Scene is to provide resources for anyone who is interested in music production. My goal is to provide reviews, tutorials, free samples/sounds, and anything else that may help in music production. The resources provided will help anyone starting from the beginner, simply looking to make beats online, to the more advanced.
To give you a little information about myself on the subject, I have had many years of classical training on the piano which spurred my interest in composition. In the past year or so I’ve have dabbled with various digital audio workstations, and have created a few pieces on FL Studio. My setup is an M-Audio Axiom 49 midi controller, an Audiophile 192 sound card, a Roland Fantom-X8 (for sampling purposes) and I am currently in the proccess of switching to a macbook pro.
Thanks for stopping by. Check out the next post for some goodies!
