How can I easily make beats and record my raps on the beats?

the "easy" way is to open the loop browser, audition various drum loops by clicking on them, picking which you like and dragging them into the timeline

a slightly less easy way would be to create a software track, pick a drum instrument you like, open the musical typing window, hit record and record your rhythm

the least easy way would be to place each note (drum beat) you want into a region:

Hi Chris,

This site isn't really set up for finding musical collaborators or Russell Simmons.

you should check out other popular forums where musicians hang out, and get your music up on one of the popular music sites so people can check it out and connect.

Technically - to make beats you can slide notes or loops onto a track, chop them up, tweak them, loop them, add complementary stuff on other tracks, and all the other stuff you do to make beats. Then, create a real instrument track to rap on top of them.

Good luck!
