Making Beats in Audacity with a Label Grid and Loops

**NOTE** there's no need to turn on the snap to make the grid snap to the click like I state in this video. This snap feature is for something else. So you can leave that as is. Continue reading for description.

This is a video made by request of José on Facebook. He asked "Hey. I use audacity but I don't play drums or have anything to record drums. I wanted to record songs on audacity with midi drums but I don't know how. Can you make a video on that, please? Stay cool!" Since Audacity doesn't work with MIDI very well, I showed a work around by using a tempo track, label grid, and loops. Hopefully this will help Jose and others looking to make their own beats without drums in Audacity.
