Hi. Yes, once I used the track properties dialogue instead of the synth properties dialogue, I found some drum sounds that will work quite well for the time being. Sonar 8 PE really does come with a great collection of instruments I must say. Thanks, Cameron.

Hi. Have you checked out the Roland Groove synthe included with Sonar? On their own the drums fall a little flat, but withthe right compression, you can get some beef out of them.

Hi all. I have a lot of great acoustic drums including superior 2.0. What I seem to lack in my virtual instrument collection are really good punchy high quality drum sounds for electronic/trance/club/dance music. I've gone through the drum offerings in dimension pro, rapture le, etc and they all seem to lack good electronic drum sounds. Can anybody suggest anything out there? I found some freeware tr909 and tr808 emulators, but because of the GUI, I can't seem to load any presets. Maybe sound fonts with sfz would be the way to go since there is hsc support for that? Thanks, Cameron.
