Members eagle1 Posted July 27, 2002 Members Share Posted July 27, 2002 How can I put drum sounds on existing songs? I think someone told me that there is software to do this. If there is, what is the best and the easiest of the bunch.! I have some songs that I want to put drums in them. If you like, you can hear one of them here: http://www.prtc.net/~eagle1/The Sad Song.mp3 As you can see, I'm not very good (studying full-time -- most of the time!! ) at guitar playing but whenever I have time I practice.! Now I want to add drums.! SO.... any suggestions? Ohh... if you want the lyrics: Forever in blue. Recalling the... pictures of you that live in my head. There's no reason why. I do this day by day. There must be a way, some way to erase, to ease all this pain. That I.. Keep on inflicting to myself carrying over my good shoulder. Maybe I do this out of fear, the fear of never feel or see you again. Cause you are all that I want, you're all that I see and that's what I really need. Cause you are almost a god, perfect in every way, that's how I picture you.... yes my mind is a mess... There's more to it but it's kinda hard translating it to english!! (my primary language is spanish.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eatsdrummachine Posted July 27, 2002 Members Share Posted July 27, 2002 you'll get tons of software ideas there. also, lots of links to rythm freeware. I've heard cool stuff with drums added after the fact. did you compose to a click track? if not you are in for a difficult time. drum machines and sequencing programs follow a time signature clock- if you're tracking tempo wavers (as most human time clocks do to varying degrees) it's very hard to match them and might be better to rerecord (!). good luck./johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean a metronome by any chance???Well... I didn't (dammit!!!!!!!). I know where you are getting at.! It will be almost impossible for me to arrange the drums because I don't follow a predetermined tempo or strumming pattern... right???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Electricview Posted August 6, 2002 Members Share Posted August 6, 2002 Thanks just some bad idea's, a V-amp2 and fruity loops with some free drum samples i found on the net.. I wish i had more snares tho.. i want a really HARD hitting snare sound.. the only thing you cant do with fruity loops is dynamics (hitting the drum harder or softer)..
