hi all,
i've got some practice with synths and samplers now and the sounds and beats are ok now ... for me  . but i'm stuck with that background percussion? there are a lot of nice background percussions out there but i cannot accomplish that often nice driven rythems. so what do you use for that? lo-fi loops and play them backwards?
i tried it (manually) with snares, hats, congas ... but no satisfying result up to now 
so has anyone some tips for me? |

I try to program as many perc sounds manually as I can. Just take one shot samples and create grovey patterns with them. And I like it, it's real fun. But then if I find the result unsatisfying I take a loop (doesn't really matter is it lofi, house or d'n'b - it just has to sound right) and process it to fit the track: cut unnecessary elements, reverse, filter etc. I guess you just need more practise.

i make some breaks with lot of distortion (few quadrafuzz in serie and/or the amp plugin in c5) then export with no kick slice and edit... for breaks usually you pitch drums in the low and not in the high like in dance/trance music, i end up with dark breaks that don t eat the space for the trance hihats |

don't forget to give a bit of a shuffle or groove quantization on your programmed parts... with that you can often disregard premade loops.

why opposit?
take out both, the lows and the highs, that's what i do.
sounds in the background don't have much highend as opposite to sounds in the foreground.
