Members Blakemore Effects Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 I hear good things about both of those programs. Where can you buy EZ Drummer though, and how much does it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aliensporebomb Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 I think a large pitfall of the drum sequencing software out there has been eclipsed by people making drum loops available and then you can string together loops of real drums that far exceed the rhythmic quality of a drum sequencer/sampler. I've used a ton, both hardware and sofware. If it were me, I'd go and buy a drumkit and use that because I can play real drums myself but for the convenience and cleanliness of recording I go and use various drum loops now. When I need very specific programmatic breaks and the like I can program it out on my old Roland R-5 human rhythm composer MIDI'ed to a software24-bit drum sampler or the like. Sometimes I'll layer drum tracks: a drum loop with fills played by me and flown in from another program etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeathByGuitar Posted July 7, 2009 Members Share Posted July 7, 2009 If you're on a Mac try Doggiebox. I love that program so much. It's cheap and pretty darn powerful. You only get a handful of sounds but it's not hard to find full drumset samples on the internet for free.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Will Chen Posted July 7, 2009 Members Share Posted July 7, 2009 I like the Sonic Reality's Infinite Player. Excellent sounding samples and grooves allowing you to mix programed material with naturally played loops seamlessly. Kits are sold ala carte allowing you to get only what you need rather than a large collection of kits you'll never use. You can often pick it up in a group buy from esoundz for a great deal bundled with a few libraries or additional VST effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members germanicus2112 Posted July 8, 2009 Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 EZ drummer is ridiculously easy to great and even complex drum tracks quickly done. It has a great library of midi drum patterns that you literally can drag into your sequencer software and preview against your other tracks. Its very simple to do and you can sculpt complex drum parts (or simple ones) for your music. The sounds are already processed so it requires extremely minimal effects to get a great sound.

Members Nuno1 Posted July 10, 2009 Members Share Posted July 10, 2009 I am a huge fun of battery. I am usingi for a long while. I have heard good reviews about BFD but I have never used it. Nuno1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cogdog Posted July 17, 2009 Members Share Posted July 17, 2009 i've got EZ Drummer, I bought it online via their website, I think it was around $180 USD, it's easy to use and sound pertty good. Before that I had an Alesis SR16 so I haven't really compared EZ to other drum software but I like it and it sounds good enough for me, It has a stand alone application but to my knowledge you can only play one type of drum beat at a time, so you can not string together different drum beats into one long chain, you will need some other program to create the chain like Reaper or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can then open a midi track and point its output at the EZ drummer plugin and literally drag and drop patterns onto the midi track in your song and program extremely complex parts made up of various beats. Its VERY streamlined, and the way the plugin operates, you can even preview loops in the sequencer by looping a section of your song, and then just clicking the patterns in EZ's groove selection window in realtime as the section plays back to see how different patterns fit. This is great for matching up fills to your song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doug osborne Posted July 17, 2009 Members Share Posted July 17, 2009 Drumcore. It's now a VST plugin. It has great sounding audio and MIDI loops, fills, and hits, well recorded, played by really really good drummers. You can just use the stereo loops, or use your controller (through the Drumcore standalone) to play the drumkits. In sequencing software, you can use the MIDI loops, etc., edit them, play directly into the drumkits and record as MIDI or audio, etc. submersiblemusic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend LA drums volume 2. has all the varying loops you could ever ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
