Mudcat Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I've posted this on a couple of other forums and thought I would take a shot here as well. Is anybody using Drums on Demand for your recording projects? I am trying to get cranked back up doing some recording but I am loathe to start programming my drum machine again. I have the light versions of Cubase and Sonar but I have never done anything with them using recorded drum loops. I am pretty impressed by the demos on the DOD website but I am curious as to how steep the learning curve is to working with loops in constructing a drum track. My hope is that it is way less tedious than programming an SR-16. Anybody have insight on this topic? Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big.

Zuma Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I feel for you! Programming my SR-16 is like drinking hot beer for 2 days. I am actually starting to play my own drum tracks and using loop samples from mi7libraries.com, Much easier but not as easy as I want. I would love to try the new ProTools drum thingie as I use ProTools mostly. Good question. , Zuma http://zumaz.com http://myspace.com/zumazmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanD Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have found it is easier to find someone who programs... or to find a drummer. Fruity Loops is very nice and easy to learn. I jsut save the tracks as WAV. files and import them into the DAW. I have never used the program you are asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbee Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 You could try the Groove Agent plugin for Cubase, it's an absolute doddle to use. Now theres three of you in a band, youre like a proper band. Youre like the policemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy from Motown Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Programming the SR16 isn't very hard, maybe you should give it another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's not that difficult, it's just time consuming and I usually get a headache from the stress! I think I get a little to wound up about programming fills exactly the way I want them. It takes me forever. Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big.

zeronyne Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Drums on Demand, and others in that genre of software (themed loops, essentially) work well for pop, country and rock. I do not own DoD, but I have worked with it on many an occasion...very easy to use, but possibly limiting if you are a micromanager of your drum tracks (like me). Groove Agent is also quite cool. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
