How to Make Crunk Southern Beats

In order to make crunk southern beats you must have the proper music creation software. When making a "dirty south" beat there are certain elements of sound that must be in a song. Bass is the number one instrument that separates a crunk southern beat from all other genres of music. While you can purchase expensive music creation software to compose southern beats, free loop based software such as EJay, Fruity Loops and Audacity allow you to arrange free sound loops to compose a song.
