What Software Do You Use For Your Drum Parts? Options

[coldharbour]

I mostly use Ultrabeat and EXS24MkII - both wonderful, especially Ultrabeat.

I have a question. How are you sequencing the drums from the EXS24/EXSP24 in logic. (Im using express) I have that free NS kit 7 and i think it sounds amazing im just not sure how to use it with logic. So far i have just been using the NS samples in doogiebag to sequence and then exporting the loops, but its a bit of a hastle importing the loops into logic all the time. So i was just wondering what the best way to do the same thing was in logic.

English isn't my 1st choice so I don't know what you mean by "doogiebag", but the way to use the kit is to load it in EXS24 and then program the drumpattern in Logic's arrange, just like programming any other software instrument. You don't have to export or import anything.

Oh yeah, Ultrabeat is a monster!

dfh Superior is awsome.

If you can program well it sounds like a Real Drummer (ie. No five limbed drummers welcome) and the bounce to audio includes 'microphone spill' thus making the whole drum track as authentic as the real thing. You need at least 1Gb of RAM to have a basic kit because it (rightfully) avoids disk streaming to avoid glitches.

It is an AU/MAS plug in.

If you want to do with Ultrabeat which beams with DFH do not obtain it, but DFH either does not do the one of Ultrabeat. As it is better? it depends on which you want to do. Realism not always is equal to better sound.The best sound is something than is subject to your form to see and to understand music.DHF is a great plug in their style, and Ultrabeat also in his. They move in different scenes.

Doggiebox is an awesome Mac-only low-cost drum sample player, with a really intuitive interface, which virtually forces you to think like a human drummer (e.g. only two hands and feet!).
The sample library is fantastic and you can export audio (.aiff) or MIDI into your software sequencer, from Doggiebox.

It's a download, so just do a search for it. There's a good demo.

Like kaboomchuk, I also use the Metro drum grid to create most of my drum parts. At some point, I plan to get one of those Akai drum pad boxes, because I hate trying to tap drum parts out on a keyboard. For the sounds, I use a mix of: DR202, Proteus/2 rompler, JD800, and some stuff I sampled myself (tin cans, cookware, cukoo clocks, building materials, or anything around the house that looked like it needed hitting at the time. )
