Keep things simple at first. Do not overwhelm yourself trying to learn everything. After acquiring a considerable amount of know-how you can start creating your own music. Also don't wait for mastering everything before you start composing as this will take a lot of time. If will be fun to experiment the various features in the software and you will also discover new things.

The first step is to pick the right samples. When you are picking out the samples, be it the drums or the piano, make sure that it blends properly with the rest of the composition. You do not want to drown out one sound. For example if you pick the wrong bass drum, the base line will be drowned out. If you pick the wrong piano, it will become difficult to comprehend the vocal chords. So choosing the right samples plays an important role in creating the perfect beat.

The second step is to pick a melody using your keyboard. Make sure that you play only one octave. Then try picking out five other notes with the same octave and keep playing them repeatedly until you find something that beautifully complements your beat. Be sure to play each key in variation to get the best results.

Sonic Producer makes the beat creation process a very simple process. You can play and check the effect after adding each sample and check on how they sound together. It offers a lot of instrument categories and there are also a lot of subcategories under this major category which allows you to create the ultimate sound effect that you want. You can increase or decrease the tempo, create compression and stretch effects, plus a lot of other effects to make your music the most innovative and unique presentation.

You can also layer your beats, making your music more complex and alluring. Simple beats usually have two or three layers but you can add as many layers as you want to improve the quality and the effect of your musical composition. Just make sure that the final effect is pleasing. Don't add too many layers and make the total effect discordant.
