your drum trax?

so what do you guys who make music use for drum sounds and
all that? ive been using floops for a while and just
tweaking the hell out of the drum sounds, but thats getting
pretty limited and im running out of interesting sounds. so
any ideas as to any programs that i can use to make weird
noises for use in drum tracks? (im talking weird like
autechre/gridlock-ish)

Either. Whatever sounds the best cut up to you.

a word from mike wells from Gridlock on how to make
drums...

"running a percussion sample to a tape recorder at hot
levels, which of course results in tape saturation. You then
resample this digitally and through sequential repetitions
of pitch modification and tube saturation treatments, your
sound file will eventually start to resemble a "weeping
willow" tree. If you then take this sample and resample it
again into an odd bit-rate sampler (such as the Emax, which
is 12 bit, and natively at 28 thousand cycles), you get the
further added value of a sort of "digital grit" which is
really hard to model in a computer, and creates a really
uniquely heavy, distorted drum sample that is not brittle,
and doesn't have that wimpy "plugin" sound to it. Rather it
is rich in body, yet also warm and full. Let's say the audio
equivalent of a finely chilled Newcastle Brown Ale."

hm that info from gridlock seems very useful, of course
getting an old school tape recorder could be a problem

I take it you've tried making your own sounds for floops
using drumsynth (the standalone, not the vst...)?

Soundforge provides plenty of good ways of creating fresh
sounds etc.
