[ddots-l] Re: MakingDrumTracksInProducer8

Roger:
What kind of music are you working on?  If you are doing modern R&B and the 
like, you can get away with using loops.  If, on the other hand, you are doing 
rock, jazz, etc. there is really no substitute for laying down the drum parts 
in real time.  While some of us who have been doing this a long time like to 
lay down everything at once, you could start by laying down the kick and snare, 
then put the cymbals and hats on another track, and then some tom fills on 
another.  Start listening to stuff and tearing it apart.  Drum parts are really 
no different than any other instrument parts, you just have to learn what drum 
to hit and when to hit it.  I worked with some pretty bad drummers back in the 
day and that is where I learned that, since I had to show them even though I 
wasn't really a drummer.

  I am not that great just hammering out the drum tracks. I want to use 
something in Producer 8 and CakeTalking 8 to make professional-sounding drum 
tracks. I have a B-3 and MOTU 8 PRE. It has proved to be difficult to lget a 
live drummer to help me lay down the music. I first thought of Session Drummer. 
However, it does not have to be that way. Any suggestions and a kick start 
would be appreciated. 

  My messages were not going through, so, I unsubscribed and re-subscribed. I 
hope this one gets through. Thanks in advance for any help.
