care to be a bit more specific?

GOOGLE is a good place to start, type in 'audio production tutorials' & im sure you will find lots.

Stop typing in all capital letters, and I'll give you some good tips. This will require you to disengage the Caps Lock button.

HOW DO I MAKE DOPE BEATS? MAKE IT FAST AND EASY CAUSE I DONT GOT TIME TO MESS AROUND.

come on dude, this is the most general question ive ever seen. there are like 100 topics in there, mixing, eq, compression, mastering, tracking, and who knows what else. slow down and learn your art...

filters in cool edit? i mean cool edits great, but are you using live?

AND AGAIN, QUIT SHOUTING.

PUT YOUR BEAT IN CHANNEL 1 AND YOUR VOCALS IN CHANNEL 2! CHANGE THE LEVELS SO THEY SOUND EVEN. PUT A COMPRESSOR ON THE MASTER CHANNEL. EXPORT IT TO AUDIO OR RECORD IT ON THE FLY!!!!!!

Alright sorry about the all caps. Will you please share any tips about mixingdown your vocals with your beat, It sounds good right now, I just want it to sound like it has some filters on it or something. So the track sounds like a hip hop track. Just basic mixing tips....anything

there is this magic button in the right upper corner; which provides just what you need.
you don't have to master anything, you just push it and it sounds amazing straight away.
it's this red button with the cross in it.
