Three Things to Evaluate Before Purchasing Musical Gear

Buying musical gear in general is overwhelming to say the least. What’s most affordable? What will last the longest? Where are the music loops best? When the piece of gear in question is music editing software or a beat machine, the guidelines below will help you decide which is right for you.

Portability

Just like the music loops they create, the modern musician travels many places before returning home again. To have a beat machine or music editing software that is stationary would be to put yourself at a severe disadvantage.

Portable beat machines and music editing software do exist now, and you should use them to create music loops when creativity strikes. For example, new mobile production studio Beat Thang is battery powered and comes with music editing software capable of recording / producing when you’re on the go.

Also, in addition to music loops from sound pack sounds, the beat machine’s music editing software can even record external sounds for samples (which you can then music loops out of)! One more advantage of this music editing software feature is that you can collaborate with other musicians wherever needed. You won’t have to worry about hauling gear across town or sending huge music loop files digitally if you own a Beat Thang.

Ease of Use

Let’s face it, if the beat machine and / or music editing software you purchase is simple to use AND just as powerful as the more complicated machinery, why not go with it instead of a more complicated beat machine?

Beat Thang’s interface has been highly touted as one of the easiest to use among all beat machines, music editing software, and music looping devices, as it puts intuition and simplicity before anything else. That said, it loses no ground with music production veterans because it features the same functionality they expect.

Power

Do you have the power? It’s always important to take into consideration your skill set when buying a music editing software or a beat machine, or even if your only intention with a device is to make a bunch of fun sounding music loops.

If you’re a beginner just looking to create basic music loops, you won’t be able to understand how to use the more complicated beat machines. And if you’re an expert, the beginner music editing software won’t be able to deliver what you need it to. Except if you’re creating with Beat Thang, that is.

I say this because not only is it powerful enough (in the literal sense) to live on a four hours lithium ion rechargeable battery, but it also comes loaded with over 3,000 sounds, and has the ability to sample, edit, mix, and master. All four phases of a recording can be completed by this one handheld object, wherever you may be in the world. Think about that!
