Best Music Production Software of 2019 - Record, Mix, and Produce Music

We spent more than 30 hours testing the virtual instrument selection, editing capabilities and loop libraries in seven of the best music production programs under $200 – a price point that gives you plenty of production tools with some basic editing capabilities. We believe Logic Pro X is the best beat-making software that at this price point. It has the best virtual instruments and editing capabilities of all the programs we tested, and the loop library has a good selection of loops and samples for almost every musical genre. The one glaring problem with Logic is that it is only available on the Mac platform.

_{EDITOR’S NOTE: MAGIX has informed us that anew version, Music Maker 2019 Premium Edition, is now available and includes a professional audio engine, true multi-core support, and new loops and effects. We will post the new test results and reviews when we next test Music Production Software.}

Logic Pro X

Logic Pro X is the best audio editing and production program for less than $200. Unfortunately, you can’t use it on a Windows computer.

Cubase Elements 9.5

Cubase Elements costs less than $100 and has all the editing tools and virtual instruments you need to create complex and great-sounding arrangements for every musical genre.

FL Studio 12 Producer Edition

FL Studio Producer Edition has a great selection of virtual instruments and royalty-free loops and samples that work well for producing hip-hop tracks. The user interface is one of the most customizable we tested.

Best Overall

Logic Pro X

If you have a Mac and want to record, produce and edit audio, Logic is the best program available. It is expensive compared with some of the production programs we tested, but it has features similar to software that costs three times as much. The virtual instrument library is one of the best available and can be used for live performances as well as in the studio.

Logic’s virtual drum plug-in uses an AI algorithm to adapt a virtual drummer to the style of music you produce. It is common practice to start a song with a drumbeat, but with the Logic drummer track plug-in you can record a melody first. The virtual drummer of your choice will play along with what you’ve recorded, adapting the feel and rhythm to fit your melody. This is the best drum plug-in available, and it works well with every genre of music.
Logic’s workspace window is arranged nicely, with the transport controls at the top of the window. You can create up to 255 audio and MIDI tracks, which are more than enough to let you build an intricate arrangement and continually add new ideas to a song. The flexible mix window lets you add up to 15 insert effects and eight sends per channel.

Best Value

Cubase Elements 9.5

Cubase Elements is a powerful and affordable music production program that has an impressive list of editing tools and more than 3,500 premade loops to kick-start your project. A good selection of workspace templates helps you get ready to record and produce music quickly.

The interface has a clean layout and is easy to navigate for novice and advanced users alike. You can add content to the arrangement window by dragging and dropping loops from the large loop library, recording up to 24 external instruments simultaneously, or you can use a MIDI controller with one of the three virtual instruments. Three virtual instruments might seem limited compared with other programs we tested, but the HALion Sonic SE workstation plug-in has thousands of usable presets that sound great.
The Elements version of Cubase allows you to record up to 48 audio tracks and 64 MIDI tracks per project. Some of the programs we reviewed have unlimited inputs and outputs, but you should rarely need more than 48 audio tracks in a production session. The mixer in this software supports up to 16 insert and send effects per channel that you can use to create a textured tone and coax a customized sound from the virtual instruments.

Best for Hip-Hop

FL Studio 12 Producer Edition

FL Studio has been one of the most recognizable names in the realm of hip-hop and electronic dance music (EDM) production for almost 20 years. Its virtual instrument catalog and loop library contain all the popular sounds you need to produce professional tracks, and the Producer Edition lets you record instruments and vocals to create a finalized mix.

One advantage of purchasing FL Studio is the free lifetime updates. Most programs we reviewed require you to buy an upgrade license when a new version is released. FL Studio doesn’t charge for updates after you purchase a license, and this software has a track record, having been around for 18 years.
The workspace window in FL Studio is one of the most customizable we tested. Any of the windows in the workspace, including the mixer, step sequencer and menu bar, can be resized, detached and even hidden to help you customize your workflow and readily access the editing and production tools you use most. We tested the new user interface on a laptop screen and widescreen desktop monitor, and it fit nicely on both and saved our customized workspace in the session file. The multi-touch support and customizable workspace make this program one of the most innovative we reviewed when it comes to usability.

Best for EDM

Ableton Live 10 Intro

Ableton Live has a great selection of electronic drum and synth plugins, which are the most important instruments for EDM producers.

The user interface looks markedly different from the other programs we tested, but once you get the hang of it, the workflow becomes simple and efficient. The Intro version includes the Drum Rack plugin that helps you layer multiple samples in a 16-pad grid that looks familiar to those who use classic EDM hardware instruments.
Ableton is one of the best music production programs for producers that want to take their arrangements to the stage. Once you produce a track in the software, you can use hardware control devices to launch samples, adjust tempo and record samples from other hardware instruments. The Standard version has a more comprehensive instrument selection, but the Intro version is a low-cost option to help you learn the interface.

Best for Recording Instruments

Studio One Artist 3

Studio One Artist is available for Mac and PC and gives you the option to add an unlimited amount of audio tracks per session.

It has a good selection of effect and mixing plugins to improve the sound of your recordings and allows for an unlimited amount of effect busses. Not only do the plugins sound professional, they’re also easy to use. There presets help you understand which parameters to tweak and give you a good starting point in the mixing process.
The virtual instrument selection isn’t as good as the best production software we tested, but the instruments sound authentic and natural. Studio One Artist has all the tools to record instruments and finalize a studio-quality mix, and you can always upgrade to the Professional version once you get comfortable with the interface.

Why Trust Us

We’ve been reviewing music and audio editing software for more than 12 years. I personally own five music production programs in addition to my main editing software, Pro Tools, and use them for different applications. I tried hard to eliminate any bias before making my recommendations because I realize everyone who uses music production software has unique requirements. Instead, I focused my recommendations on highlighting the features of each product so you can decide which one is right for you.

I talked to David Evanoff, owner of David Evanoff Sound Designs, about how he uses music production software to create award-winning music for film and television. Although he has access to all the best recording hardware, real instruments and musicians, he told me he still finds value in starting a project with drum loops and software instruments. He uses virtual drums, bass and synthesizers daily to do mock-ups and get the ball rolling.

Rha’Gene Beal, who is pursuing interdisciplinary studies in music with Berklee College of Music’s online platform, told me he learned how to use the drummer track plug-in in Logic Pro X as part of the music production curriculum at that prestigious institution. He now uses the plug-in regularly to inspire compositions and play along with melodies he writes using only a MIDI keyboard and software.

If you plan to distribute the music you produce with one of these programs, consider a membership to ASCAP, BMI or both. In the age of digital publishing, it is important to have the help of large and established advocacy groups to make sure you get paid for the music you produce and publish on sites like Spotify and Apple Music.

How Much Should I Spend on Production Software?

A full-featured digital audio workstation (DAW) costs upwards of $500. We chose to focus this comparison of music production software on programs that cost less than $200 for novice sound engineers who want to produce and arrange music on a budget. The biggest differences between some of these entry-level versions and their more robust counterparts are the editing and mixing tools. The user-interfaces look the same, and all the programs we tested accept third-party plugins and virtual instruments. However, if you plan to produce, mix and master your arrangements, consider one of the more advanced versions of the software in this comparison.

How We Tested

We spent more than 30 hours testing the loop library and virtual instrument catalog while taking note of how easy each program was to install and navigate. The royalty-free-loop grade is based on two factors: the total number of loops and the quality of the sampled instruments used in the loop. A program with a huge loop library full of bad loops doesn’t help much. Similarly, if the samples sound good but lack variety, it will be hard to use them in multiple projects.

We were able to do a side-by-side test of the virtual instrument catalog in each program by recording a short melody played on three often-used instruments and a simple beat played on an electronic drum machine and acoustic drum plug-in. We found similar-sounding presets in each program; recorded a melody on an acoustic piano, Fender Rhodes and lead synth; and issued a score based on the average quality of the instruments. Our final grade is based on the average score for each instrument and drum plug-in.

Our ease-of-use score is based on how easy it was to install the software, control virtual instrument parameters, create a session and export a lossless file that was ready to send to a mastering engineer. We had no problem exporting a master-ready file using the included dynamics and equalization (EQ) plug-ins in each program, but there were significant discrepancies among them in the installation and virtual instrument control tests.

We realize there is a good amount of subjectivity involved in testing software, so we suggest determining the features that are most important to you and choosing a program that provides them. Just because a professional studio or artist you enjoy uses a particular software product doesn’t mean it has the tools you need to produce the music you want.

All the programs we tested support popular third-party plug-in formats, such as VST and AU, so you can supplement a lackluster virtual instrument selection in a program like Mixcraft Pro Studio and take advantage of its incredible editing features and effect plug-ins.

Important Features to Consider When Choosing Music Production Software

Genre-Specific Instruments
All the programs we tested provide often-used virtual instruments like piano, drums and strings. If you plan to produce a genre like EDM or hip-hop exclusively, consider a program that has a good synthesizer and electronic drum machine collection because the hardware equivalent is expensive, and you may be using several layers of each. If you write rock music, it will be important to have good acoustic drum sounds and electric bass and guitar plug-ins. Even if you plan to record real instruments, we learned that using virtual instruments to set a roadmap can save time.

Recording
Recording vocals and external instruments can be an important aspect of music production. Beat-making programs that allow you to record multiple sources simultaneously eliminate the need to rent time at an expensive studio. The total track count is important too, especially if you prefer to build an arrangement with many short samples or short recordings of real instruments.

Effect Plug-ins
If you plan to finalize a product that is worthy of posting on YouTube or Spotify, consider a program with a good selection of effects. Virtual instruments and samples usually don’t need too much manipulation, but it is important to compress and EQ the master bus in a project to make sure the song is at a proper volume and sounds good in headphones and larger speakers. Effects like reverb and delay are also important because they add texture and depth to virtual instruments

MIDI Controllers for Music Production Software

If you plan to use virtual instruments to build an original composition, a MIDI controller is an important tool to add alongside music production software. Here are a couple of our favorite MIDI keyboards that work with every software we tested. We recommend 49-key controllers because that size is a good fit for a desk, but both of our recommendations are available with various numbers of keys.

Novation Impulse 49
Novation MIDI keyboards are easy to set up with any music production software and have the best mapping software to help you fully integrate every button and knob. The Impulse series controllers have pressure-sensitive drum pads and responsive, semi-weighted keys. The Novation Impulse automatically maps the faders and knobs when you open the software, and the Automap software enables you to create custom profiles for third-party plugins. In addition to the USB port for connecting to a Mac or PC, the Impulse controllers have a traditional five-pin MIDI connection for controlling hardware synths.

M-Audio Oxygen 49 MK IV
If you're looking for a controller for less than $200, this is your best bet. The keyboard and drum pads don’t have as many levels of velocity sensitivity as the Novation Impulse, but the M-Audio Oxygen has the same number of faders and knobs. It doesn’t come with helpful mapping software, but the keys and drum pads automatically sync when a software instrument window is open. The Oxygen controllers have eight drum pads and come in 25-, 49- and 61-key configurations. This controller has a slim footprint that works perfectly on a desktop, where space is at a premium.

Related Product Reviews

If you are a musician (e.g. folk guitarist, rapper, hip-hop artist) you might have already noticed that playing to crowds in street corners or subway stations and earning pennies is only an acceptable way of life in drama flicks. In reality, it is no way for a talented musician (you) to live and get famous. If you have got real talent, you can clean up and join any of the reality TV talent competitions, or you can invest time and effort on a beat maker software, free download and start recording your original music.

10. LMMS

Users prefer the acronym, LMMS because the full name is quite a mouthful: Linux MultiMedia Studio. It is similar to midi devices and has the capability to usher in to existence that beat you’ve been adding layers to as your street performance evolved through the years. LMMS has very organized and labeled windows for the uninitiated. And by dragging and dropping all over the interface, you can bring the piece of your first recorded track to fruition.

9. ACID Xpress

If you haven’t heard of ACID software, you really don’t need to do any homework on it anymore. (And you probably won’t be able to afford it since it’s the commercial version). The ACID Xpress is what you need since it’s a ten-track free version especially designed for hip hop and rap. What this software does is in general, “loop-based music creation.” To simplify, this free software lets you record, edit, mix, and eventually give birth to that amazing beat that’s been pounding inside your head for a while now.

8. Muse

This has nothing to do with Muse, the band. (If you do not understand the reference, never mind because they are already making loads of money and you’re not; at least not yet.) Muse is another music making program that’s packed with a MIDI and sound sequencer. It has very basic functions, but it is free and you ought not to be too choosy.

7. Beat Making

This rather plainly labeled software (couldn’t they have thought of a more unique name?) is one of the most praised and most talked about in the market today. This software can produce the beats that you’ve worked so many years out in the street to perfect. You can always record your own sounds, but why not take advantage of modern technology and do it via click and drag? The beat making hardware of old were all way beyond reasonable budget. But this software is free, so why not give it a try?

6. SequeBeat Pro 7.0

You must have realized already that you’d need a personal computer to get your music career going beyond the block, right. We’re not endorsing one brand over another, but this software works only with Windows OS, as do most others. SequBeat Pro 7.0 is all about the low end. It is essentially a virtual drum and percussion kit complete with snare, kick, cymbal and high hat, for starters. It has an adequate library and allows importing of samples.

5. Gross Beat 1.0

Gross Beat 1.0 is one of those things in this world that will fit the popular saying, “more than meets the eye.” Actually, it’s more of a misnomer than anything because it does not deal with anything gross. In fact, it offers the finer things in life—repeat, scratching effects, stutter, rendered gating, among others. Gross Beat 1.0 is also designed to provide great effects during a live performance. You can try this one out on the street, too.

4. Beat Morpher 1.0

Beat Morpher 1.0 is another drum kit, but this one makes the user a mutant creator of sorts because it allows you to morph from one rhythm to another. This effect is essentially all that it does so rather than spoil it for you; we’d give you the chance to find out how it works. Hint: Simon Posford.

3. Wollo Beat 2.0

Is it obvious that this list is partial to drum machines? We offer no excuses and no explanations. Here is another virtual drums and percussion set (sets, actually). When we say velocity-sensitive sounds, does it ring a bell? No matter. You’ll learn all about those using Wollo Beat, famed for its wellspring of 808 drum styles.

2. Reason

We think that the reason why this product is called “Reason” is that you won’t find any reason whatsoever not to want it. Why? It is a mixer, sequencer, and synthesizer in one unit. The statistics will definitely impress you, but in a nutshell, it is a layered, sophisticated, and powerful software. It has been said more than once that if you are serious in producing your own tracks, you’d need Reason to make it big.

1. Samplisizer

En Softonic

Samplisizer is number one mainly because we like the name given to it. And since we are making this list for you, a very talented street musician who is new in the world of music making software, this is the definitive software for the new and upcoming music producer. (Yes, that’s you. Haven’t we already agreed you’d turn back from the pennies and start earning real money?) Here’s one thing about it that might keep you excited: 3, 500 samples and loops. Impressive, huh?

If you are not at all web or PC savvy, you can always start out with tutorials (you’ll find more than enough to bore you after just half an hour of searching the Internet). It makes more sense to gamble on any of the ten beat maker software free options we’ve just presented to you than continue trying your luck in the streets. Make sure to let us know if and when your debut single enters the Cloud and what software you used to launch your music career.
