Hey there,
What do you guys use for passable drum samples? I am recording at home, making demos so I can find bandmates, but want something that sounds great, but my drum samples always sound like ass. My music is a mix between Jesus and Mary Chain, Sigur Ros, Low, Led Zeppelin and the Cure- organic drums, lots of atmosphere, some crazy loud guitars at times and a lot of electronics.... Fun stuff. Also, what do you use for strings? I have been using Fruity Loops, but that takes up too much resourceses for what I want to use it for- I'm looking for a passable sampling synth now with a smaller footprint,
Stay well!

Re: Drums samples? Strings?
Mon, October 18, 2004 - 11:51 PMHi Jason:
For strings, and maybe drums, you might consider Reason or a similar program. Basically you get a midi keyboard (small footprint there) and hook it up to your computer (if you're recording to a computer), and Reason is the synth's brains. Reason has lots of very good samples.
Personally, I prefer using drum loops and bringing them into Digital Performer. Typically said loops are real drumsets, recorded and edited into snippets such as main section, b section, fill a, fill b, etc. Well recorded and set-up drum loops can really sound like you had a drummer in the studio.

Fri, December 10, 2004 - 11:36 PMYou got something I can hear? Your influences are similar to mine, even though I've taken a different path since I've started making music.
My stuff is here: "Falik" on beatfreaks.com
