Yes they aren't particularly good. All the more reason for creating your own. One of the best sources of grooves IMHO is live percussion loops (toms, shakers etc). Not only do these loops have a lot more personal expression than a programmed drum loop, but it tends to be easier to figure out where the 1/16th note positions are. > i haven't a full version of the beat slicer. is it > still possible to export groove templates? if not, is > there another way to export groove templates? I have the registered version of beat slicer, so I can't say for sure. However, I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to do the procedure I outlined previously using the unregistered version. Can anyone try with the unregistered version and confirm this? Thanks. Andy
