ye, u can make beats wit cool edit, or any most other audio apps. But if u'r goin to get into makin u'r own beats then use fruity or reason because they offer a lot more features once u learn the basics. If you use sumthing like Cool Edit you'll find it limiting after a while and eventually switch to sumthin more powerful neways.
