what's a good DAW for beat-making?

heard LMMS is pretty dope to make beats since t has that segmented beat system, know any others

By beat-making you specifically mean laying down drums? Propellerhead Reason perhaps? I've used Redrum before it's pretty cool (3 min video).

Sorry it's just that lots of people use "make beats" today to refer to general music production :)

frankly, the beatbox step sequencer editor in FL studio still can't be ebat for arranging samples in a quick and intuitive way for drum grooves... ti ash decent enough loop manipulation too for layering in soem live eprformance.... if you wanna really get into loop use, ableton owns thata arena but the one shot sample placement ain't as easy

reason is ecellent if you want some virtual drum amchines loaded with classic sounds already... although I thiknk you cna now make your own banks and stuff... I find reason is really limiting though. Even for just making quick drum tracks or hip hop backings, its irritating not being able to use VSTs and shit

Yeah, I mean drum beats. I can produce just fine in Garageband but I'm not liking the system of laying down drums

if you can program an 808you can program fruity loops as a beat bx.... it can be its own sampler.... it has some built in patterns and if you use the internal akai styled smapler plugin for drums it ahs LOADS of realistic patterns and a built in tama kit and I think a gretsch that's wells mpled and scaled right dwn to overhead mic samples.... its not real drums but it doesn't suck... I'm not sure if it rbeaks out to individual tracks though, it didn't the last time I sued it but that was a million verisons ago, whereas the basic sampler each one can go to its own channel with ease...

anyway, if you can't make a beat in fl you're rhythmically challenged
