Decent drums and beats
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 5:57 am
Hi guys,
I'm having major problems with putting down convincing beats.
I'm no drummer - more of a singer songwriter with guitar being my primary instrument.
Is there any software that can help me with this? Any really good loop type collection (ya know...verse...intro...break...chorus etc etc)
I've done the reason and loop thing and it works OK but the reality is that the little accents etc are what breath life into any music and while its natural for me to sing or play my axe in this way I just cant get my head around the drum thing.
For someone who seems to be able to produce convincing results from everyone elses music - when it comes to my own I feel as if I'm floundering.
I don't have the time to get together with a band (or maybe I should just make the time!!!)
What to do?
Oh and it needs to be DP friendly!
Thanks,
Iain
