Beat Making Software

The most important thing you will need for making high quality beats is an effective piece of digital music software. There are plenty out there, some expensive and some cheaper. A lot of them have free trial evaluations, so that you can get a feel for the software before purchasing it.

Here is a list of music creation software:

Mixcraft 4
Fruity Loops
Reason 4
Cakewalk
Acid Pro
Cubase

I personally use and recommend Mixcraft 4 because it is cheap and very easy to learn/use. It has all of the necessary components for digital music and beat creation. I will be using Mixcraft on most of my tutorials here on BMS.
