As Yuli said, this subject deserves like 5 threads :) I felt like starting one.. How do you people do rhythm programming (of course you won't tell, but a little blabla won't harm :)? Do you spend a lot of time for sample selection prior to starting a new track? Do you load all that shit (loop cuts, snares, hats, strange sounds, etc etc) into your samplers and start playing with them until you finally get a base for a new track? Or maybe you do every percussion line separately, process it and then insert as an audio track? Do you work really hard on rhythm textures and dont they get annoying? I personally think the less time you spend on making a certain pattern the more chance it gets to keep you satisfied :) ofcourse, provided that you can make a good sounding thing really fast... using all those FX tricks like delayed phasers (DP4), short-delay chorus thingy, etc etc.. blabla.. your turn :)
Peace.

I'm just playing with loops as much as possible.
When I don't find a loop I like or have a specific kind
of pattern in my head - I create it by myself. But from my experience, loops allways sound better. |

Stop using premade patters... Make your own grooves!
And this is really throwing something up on the Piano Roll.... heh ;)
I got 2 channels (that I use out of about 20) full of various drum sounds on my synth. Of course you can think up of something and then break your head trying to put it to practice, but that takes all the fun out of it. |

Hey...
I acctually find that making drum sounds (kick, snare etc) much better sounding is alot easier on the PC rather that on a synth. With progs as ReBirth you can come up with exellent drum loops or take different sounds from different mods and putting them togeather as a wav file in acid pro or qbase... |

But ReBirth is a little difficult to use. You can't see all of the drum's patterns at the same time. You have to switch your drum sound (and there are not too many) to see what is playing. Using a piano roll and a synth it is much more easier to do so. |

youre gonna slag me for this one but here goes -the easiest way for drumloop building is....... fruity loops. when I'm bored or stuck in track writing, i open it up and start making drum loop after drum loop, just off the top of my head, with no relevance to the trax i'm currently working on. i make all kind of loops - jungle, hip hop, samba etc. and when i need a percusion line for a track - i usually have one already made.

I would recomend rebirth for drumloops.. but you should download some mods because just a plain 909 & 808 sound can get quite boring...
guy: Are there only premade sounds in fruity loops or can you add your own wave samples too? |

I find this interesting. So the majority of people on this thread use sampled loops for their rhythm? But so many psy tracks have ever so slight rhythm adjustments to different bars, and quite often these are 'one-off' additions (most obvious example being some sort of twisted drum roll ending a group of 8 or 16 bars). Do you do THESE modifications in the actual sampled loops also?
Does anyone here NOT use sampled loops in their tracks, but instead trigger every single individual drum hit from the sequencer? Which method do the majority of people use?

i work on fruity loops almost exclusively, as it is more fun to build a track note-by-note. besides it is easier to EQ each separate sound, so you have total control (and responsibility) for everything that's in your track. Plus you can variate constantly your rythms or melodies, while ready-made loops are so rigid.
FL is the most intelligent and elastic prog i've ever encountered (i started making computer music some 12 years ago on a AMIGA 500 with Sonix - 4 channels :) ). |

I trigger every drum sound from my sequencer. Maybe I should post a pic of how it looks here... |
