Members Blatti Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 I just got BETA MONKEY Drum Werks I: Drum Loops and Samples for Rock, Classic Rock, and Hard Rock. I like it. I just load the loops into Garage Band.www.betamonkeymusic.com/V1.htmlA software drum machine would be more versatile, but more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'm not looking for samples though, they just don't fit and I don't want to go through a million samples looking for a specific thing.

Members murdock Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 im using ezdrummer and garageband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mpdan Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 For simplicity, I'd seriously recommend EZ Drummer. You can get the expansion packs for all sorts of sounds and it comes with lots of midi files ready to go for your songs Something like DFH is more versatile, but it's not meant to be quick or 'EZ'. Take a listen to EZ Drummer at www.toontrack.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members picklesandmayo1 Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 My other guitarist uses GarageBand for everything, as well as drum machine tracks. He's been able to get some pretty decent tracks on the recordings he makes for us to listen to at band practice. FYI, I showed the songs to my brother, who is a drummer of about 8 years, and HE asked who was playing drums on the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nyck Posted June 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 www.hydrogen-music.org/ Sweeet thanks a lot dude. This program is pretty cool so far. Thanks for all the input guys, I'll be using this with Garageband probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members exposeenmity Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 Jesus, I just finished listening to demos and watching the video demo for ToonTrack's EZDrummer and I have to say that I'm sold on that. Once I get my laptop and audio interface, that's what I'll be going with. Edit: I just looked at the specs and all the sounds are at 16-bit/44.1kHz, me no gusta eso.

Members exposeenmity Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 Why would that be a problem? I use it. Because the setup I'm going to get I plan on recording at the maximum sampling rate 24-bit/92khz and I'm anal about get the absolute best sound quality possible. It would just bother me having the drums at a lower resolution than the rest. TBH, the demos on the site sounded a little muffled; don't know if that's the right way to explain it. Just, not as clear as I thought they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XiXora Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well GarageBand, Logic etc got drum machines built in. Or you can use plugins like EzDrummer/Drumkit from Hell: Superior (toontrack) or Battery 3 (native instruments). There are a few out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just, not as clear as I thought they should be. Depending on your DAW, you might be better off tracking at 16/44.1 to start. On certain systems you'll lose more quality dithering to 16/44.1 for CD/mp3/etc. than you will just starting off there to begin with. If it's that important, test this- it should be easy enough- and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
