Does anyone know a good program for making beats like rap beats?(free)?

Acid Pro is really cool for making beats in general.  I think you can download a free trial online, but the only way you can get the whole program free is bootlegging it.

It depends on how much you want to program your own sounds verus leveraging pre-canned loops and samples culled from the songs you want to remix.\n\nI'm still a big fan of Acid --- Orignally from Sonic Foundry but now a product offered by Sony Music:\n\nhttp://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/acidfamily.asp\n\nAcid is excellent for working with loops -- it allows you to easily time-stretch loops and transpose them to work well with other loops culled from other sources.  A lot of what makes people love Garageband (Apple's entry-level music software) was first pioneered in Acid.  The main limitation of Acid is that it has limited or no support for the creation of your own original sounds and sequences -- it's more of a loop arranger.\n\nAnother outstanding application is Propellerheads Reason 3.0 (http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/) \n\nReaon gives you an entire virtual rack of synthesizers, samplers, and effects that you can intuitively connect with virtual patch cables.  Every knob is designed to be twiddled in real time and the best thing is that all these modifications can be recorded for playback or fine-tuning.\n\nFinally, a third application you might want to check out is Ableton Live (http://www.ableton.com/index.php?main=live)  Live is extremely popular among performing musicians today because it is optimized for live performance or on-the-fly creation/arranging of songs.  The application is a bit like Acid in that it is mainly intended for working with building blocks of pre-created loops (either instrument loops or sampled material) with an interface and workflow that makes it very easy to add, subtract, and tweak stuff as the rest of the song plays back.  \n\nBetween the 3 applications I'm sure you'll find something that work for you.  Best of all, you can download free trial versions of all applications to see for yourself.  Happy remixing!

For free?  Nothing that I know of.  Fruity Loops, Adobe Audition, and Cool Edit are good programs for taking samples.  But as far as separating vocal tracks from music tracks, I don't think that technology exists yet.  Acapella albums are made from the original unmixed recording tracks.  Someday a program may be developed that can differentiate between vocal and instrumental sound and separate the two, but it would probably be a bit sloppy until it's perfected.  Right now i don't think such a program exists.  But if a song has a section in the beginning or end with no vocals, you can sample and loop that.\n\nWith some tracks, it is possible to do it with the proper digital editing software ONLY if the vocals were mixed strictly in the central panning range.  Without getting technical, you cut and paste the sound data in the extreme left and extreme right channels, and paste them to a new track file without the center.  There might be some residual vocal sound or reverb, but it may be good enough for kareoke.  If you listen to some kareoke instrumentals, you can hear a faint hint of the vocal tracks... that's how it's done.
