In this blog post for beat producers, we’ll show you what equipment<\/a> you need to get started making your own beats. Of course, there are always alternative ways that will help you get there, including software<\/a>. Ultimately, what matters is that you find a setup that works for you and suits your workflow. That’s why it’s always a good idea to try equipment for yourself if possible. In our Thomann shop in Treppendorf, we always have a great selection of gear for you to try out!<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the classic MPC is without a doubt the granddaddy of beatmaking gear, producers now have many other (and more affordable) choices. It doesn’t take much to produce your first hit. For a simple bare-bones setup, some sort of sound-generating device and headphones<\/a> are enough. You can get both for as low as 100 Euros in total. One example that comes to mind is the Teenage Engineering PO-12 Rhythm<\/a>, which now also has a big brother with sampling and sequencer, the EP-133 K.O. II<\/u><\/a> . Add a pair of Superlux HD-681<\/a> headphones and you’re ready to go. This setup can even run on batteries if you want to produce on the road.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
