I always make my own beats but I don't know about what most people do.
in fruityloops or reason and probably many other programs you can make your own beats

Either they rip em off of a song....
Or they make their own. You have to abandon the typical musical notation for a while and thing in terms of STEPS for a while. Think of a techno song as having 16 steps
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Each 4th beat, throw in a Bass drum
B _ _ _ B _ _ _ B _ _ _ B _ _ _
Now you have the techo sound "boom .. boom... boom... boom"
Throw in an "Open high hat" noise in between the bass drums, every 4th step.
B _ H _ B _ H _ B _ H _ B _ H _
Now you've got that "mmm tsh mmm tsh mmm tsh mmm tsh" noise that pretty much defines techno. Mix that in with a little 303 action and you've got a techno track.
That's why I recommend using rebirth or a very simple drug looping software like fruity or hammerhead to get started and learn the fundamentals like this.

Yes I am a member. You might want to read more to answer you newbie questions. I would be willing to answer all your questions if you gave me some compensation, since my time is limited.
HomeRecordingBBS as far as general forums go, it's great. At least for an intermediate or expert level, many of the questions on mixing are answered by professional studio owners.

For beginners... I'd suggest blowing 100 bucks on a simple OXYGEN keyboard. It's a simple midi keyboard that has everything you need. All sorts of programmable knobs and such. In fact, I think it was designed for the sole purpose of just being a studio keyboard for use with reason or other sequencers.
When I was 18 I blew 700 bucks on a Roland XP 10. It was fun... but a year later I ended up selling it for 300 bucks.

This type of genre categorization is what leads to repetitive, tastless, unoriginal and bland music that keeps getting cranked out by anyone with two turntables or some for of a DAW.

no you cannot.
you don't have half the options in Acid that you have w/ DP's audio editing.
the quality of the plug-ins, DSP, and conversion algorithms in DP4 FAR surpasses Acid.

I am working on electronica music that isnt in 4/4 right now. I made a 3/4 but it isnt what i am going for. Right now I am trying to use the style of King Crimson to make electronica, which is playing a 5/4 melody with a 4/4 beat or vice versa, which never lets the beat come to a full rest really and always perpetuates this locomotive anxiety. im sure no one will like it, because you cant bounce up and down to it with a pacifier in your mouth.

The new synths are not all marketing. The sounds on my Triton are amazing. They are actual samples.I used to rock it old school with an ESQ-1 and a Kawaii K-1, which have their qualities, but I wouldn't trade my triton for anything.
I have little experience though in the lines of electronic music. I use a few sequencing programs, but between the trriton and my 16-track, that keeps me busy.

Yes the new synths are all marketing. You can buy sample cd's that have the same pro samples and load them into a SOFT SAMPLER.
All your trinton does is playback samples and apply effects, ADSR, etc. A software sampler does the exact same thing as a hardware synthesizer.
Seriously don't waste your money on those $2,500 synths. They drop in value to $1,000 in a year.
Like the nord lead 3 I bought used for $1,100 after a half year it came out for $2,600
And give me a break dood, almost 99% of popular music, i.e. Trip hop is not commerical and neither is jazz haha.
