RE: Need help with beats
there's no easy way to make beats - open a drum grid and just play around adding-in and taking out notes until you get a groove.
or ytou could copy beats you like - import a short 1 or 2 bar loop of a drum part from a cd you like onto an audio track after trimming the loop exactly so it loops fine
then below that track playing the loop, add a midi track and assign it to drums... then copy the audio-loop beat, listening first to the kik and copying the kik by placing kik-drums onto the drum-grid so they trigger exactly in the same place to match the loop... then work on the hats, snare/clap etc etc
it takes time to get into it but learning from others' music (copying) is a good way.
