Originally posted by fromtherooftops I'm a guitarist, and compared to you guys, a novice at home recording. I have a handle on Sonar 3, but have never really found a good drum program with realistic drum sounds.
I've been using soundfonts and drawing the beats on the music staff. I don't really care how long it takes to do, as long as the payoff is a real drum sound. Unfortuantely, I don't have a soundfont that sounds that spectacular, really...
I'd prefer to use software over a hardware drum machine... but I'm open to anything as long as it's affordable.
any ideas?
