Title says it all. I wanna dabble in making beats in my spare time. No intention of being a professional. Free is my favorite
Loads of free software if you use bittorrent. PirateBay, kat.ph etc
FLStudio, torrent it
Def get fruity loops! Best software out there but you have to be musically inclined haha
Ableton>*
Have fun learning how to use it though lol
