sup guys, i wanna be prod and makin some yeat/drake/carti beats, i found Amped Studio, it s pretty good i think, if someone can give me some advices how to makin music or tell me about this daw, i apr u so much.
 
i think that online DAWs are much more convenient than others, these types of daws only need the Internet and a laptop, specifically for me this is the main reason in choosing, because i often use a laptop outside the house
 
I did not know "online" DAW's were a thing. My daw is pretty iffy as it is a free version so there is room for improvement. Ill check out amped...

Seems a little unwieldy to me, I don't want recordings going anywhere. Than again mixpad will update automatically and than not recognize projects before the update. (infuriating!!)
 
It might be easier for starters as you don't have to download or install a thing, but... in time you will find that it doesn't fulfill your needs. Not to mention that you have to stay online all the time, and who doesn't enjoy making beats at the boondocks?

The hardest part of all of this is to develop your own workflow, and yes this is pretty much the same for almost any DAW, although every DAW has its peculiarities. Once you get used to one it might be tricky to change.

Then it is also the virtual instruments and the effects, you may be limited to the ones used on the online DAW, so you are missing a lot of freeware VSTs around, and when you may think ummm I want this precise sound, you won't be able to get it free or buy an VST for the purpose.

My advice is just try any of the free DAWs around. Reaper, LUNA, Waveform Free, Cakewalk, etc... but maybe the most suitable and easy to use for beatmaking is AKAI MPC Beats.

Finally you may use different DAWs at different stages, probably MPC Beats for beatmaking, export them as wav and then any other for recording, mixing and mastering.

I hope this helps.
 
Luna is free for windows currently its not widely used but probably probably the best for free offerings, Cakewalk is also currently free and has a long history. I use FL Studio it is paid but you can download the trial you just can't save in the trial. A lot of lite versions come in hardware.

The Akai fire is a cheap controller that comes with fire edition of fl studio it is a fun interface if you want to punch in beats.

Protools is still the top if you want to make professional music.

Other major popular Daws are like Ableton, and darkhorse is sort of Bitwig which people like sometimes.
I have versions of all these Daws.

Really basic ones are like Magix Music Maker - I have ultimate which lets you have samples for commercial use, its a cheap option that lets you use built loops and samples which a lot of people do.

The cult program that is still building its community and capabilities is Reaper but not something to start with unless you are smart.

There are many other options.

I have been using FL as my main time sink for decades now since the late 1990s so am a little biased to it.
Its fairly popular with people who make hiphop.
However your best bet is to lookup what he uses in his gear lists.

If you have a Mac based system Logic is very popular with Mac users.

All those producers are traditional producers at some point of their productions using full studios. However I am guessing they also use DAWs and don't limit themselves. A lot of major artists have their tracks produced etc.. as a team or outsourced.

From this list I would say Drake seems to be the one who is very active, but they still have producers or beatmakers etc.. it would be a lot of explaining to explain how they get to the releases.

Amped Studio is a great place to start, especially for its user-friendly interface. To make Yeat, Drake, or Carti-style beats, focus on crafting punchy 808s and tight drum patterns while using eerie, spacey synths for melodies. Play around with different VSTs and samples, and study how the pros structure their tracks. Keep experimenting and checking out tutorials—practice is key to developing your sound. Good luck with your production journey! I am a college student and sometimes I feel stuck and Before I used Academized https://academized.com/about-us for my papers, I wanted to make sure they were legit. I read through their “About Us” page, and it explained everything clearly. It made me feel more comfortable about using their writing services. If you’re curious about them, check out their “About Us” page first!
Thank you for explaining in brief.
