1 posts | 1 Posted on 02/11/2004 at 18:24 I'm recording a ton of kick ass music in a small room. A live drum set is not an option. I have to hook up a drum machine to my ROland VS-1880. I'm wondering if anyone knows which drum machines SOUND the best. I know nothing is gonna sound as good a a real drum set but i'd like something that is realistic sounding. Any suggestions or tips would be apreciated. | ||

I have an mp3 I did of an old Led Zep tune Moby Dick. www.dreamersound.com/reason/examples http://www.natural-studio.co.uk/ns_kit.htm The cheesy tamborine is Reason Factory Soundbank. There were not any samples of toms played with the hands so please excuse. | ||

I am absolutly amazed at the realism and capabilities of this program and the support is second to none. while it is a fresh technology they are developing and refining it . you can check it out here http://www.rayzoon.com/ I haven't seen anything like it out there, and while I am still learning it's personality, it has served up some very tasty tracks :cool: best wishes, petra | ||

10 posts | 8 Posted on 07/26/2005 at 17:14 Acoustica's Beatcraft is a cool software drum machine that's easy to use and can load samples. I have used it with the ns_kit, Ruff & Easy Riders, and Beta Monkey samples. A nice little setup, and this coming from a drummer................:cool: It has occurred to me that there are fewer years ahead than there are behind.... | ||
