I'm wanting to know what do I really need to create some fat beats I have no hardware except for a computer with alot of memory. What all do I need to get started and how much would it cost.

U could do it all on yer computer with the right software and a half-decent soundcard but you`d probably b better off with a sampler of some description and a mixer.....and software, of course....and a half-decent soundcard......which is when it all starts 2 get a little expensive.....

If you have no budget and no external gear, download the freeware program called Hammer from Shareware Music Machine. It's a must have toy for even us professionals.

I think you'll find it's actually called Hammerhead and
Kilo has it in his "Filez" pile somewhere on the site.
And you're absolutely right about it being an essential in the drum sequencing arsenal. For a lot of people it's THE starting point.

The computer is a good recording and editing tool but it's not really something that you can 'play'. Try getting something that you can interact with like an analog synth keyboard that can do good bass. The Virus Kb just came out and is really great for the money. Maybe think about some of the DrumKat trigger boards for playing your beats with sticks. Samplers like the Emu ESI's are very friendly and powerful. Samplers are the heart of most studios, particularly if your making dance music. And of course try to get yourself a good mixer with sweepable midrange EQ. Don't skimp and get crappy patch cables. Get the ones that are guaranteed for life like Conquest or Switchcraft. They really do sound better. As for soundcards I particularly find the Event Layla interesting although I do not own it. If I was you I wouldn't go out and spend $5000 all in one big wump. You'll maybe end up getting stuff you dislike and wish you had looked around more. Take your time and learn as you go. It's your talent and experience that will make your music sound good not necessarily the equipment. I've met people with tons of fantastic gear that really don't know what they are doing with it. And once in a while I meet folks that can make a pile of shit groove like hell. Just my opinions. Everyone will have a different approach.

WHOA WHOA WHOA
where have you folks been? Fruityloops makes all this crap look so unprofressional. i'm dissapointed that a 16 year old kid knows more about this stuff than you.
oh yeah, i was looking on another board and obviously none of them know anything about jungle either, so i dropped a groove for you
