How to Make Music Beats With Microsoft Windows

Not every budding musician can afford to buy time in a recording studio or purchase music beats from professional music producers. Luckily, there are several applications available for Microsoft Windows that allow you to create your own music beats. Using one of these applications, you can create drum loops using the included drum sounds or, if you wish, you can add your own sounds and use them for your beat.
