I have a million ideas for melody and sound design in my head to use in my tracks, but the bottomline is that it's basically useless to bother recording unless I can get a good beat making program. What is the most intuitive program you know of? How about the best overall sound quality, even if it's more complicated? Gimme a clue here. :) |

by the way, they don't necessarily have to be free software, though a demo version would be nice to try. I'm not afraid of spending a little cash here, I just want to make sure what I'm getting is what I need before I buy it. |

Beat making program? Just use a wav editor, then load the samples into a sampler. |

drumatic get version 2.2 and 3.01. they're free |

Oh I thought you meant for percussive samples...yeah, anything in that case, drumatic is pretty good. |

haha, you know I said to myself when creating this thread "if this was someone elses thread that is what I would type in it" alberto: thanks man ecnad: yeah thats a good idea too, I'm gonna try to get a decent soft-sequencer to test that out. |

I mostly use Acid to sequence drumsamples... sometimes I used Reason, but that's mostly for "alternate" drumloops.... |

ok, this will undoubtedly sound ridiculous but I don't bother much [read: at all] with vst stuff, I'm basically an all hardware man. To use those VST plugins, what kind of program do I need.. like Reason or something, right? Something the plugin can actually plug into? |

vst host like cubase |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reason doesn't support vst |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gotcha. *suddenly remembers seeing a program once called Cubase VST and everything clicks into place* |
||||||||
|

lol, shows how much I know.. I dont bother with reason either, it just seemed to be the type of program that might be able to utilize vst's. |

that's reason's biggest weakness. that, and the fact you're not able to record stuff into it. the sequencer isn't that great either. |

+ samples I have recorded/downloaded and occasionally drumatic. |

someone at xlt mentioned FLStudio as his tool for making beats. i use it too. |
||||||||

thanks for the input everybody. :) I'm currently checking out all of your suggestions. |

don't believe the hype! if you want a straight forward drumloop program that's free hit up . it comes with good samples and there are many more to d/l ... i do that, or use my hardware (monomachine or lsdj on gameboy) to get some drum loops, import to audiomulch, fuck everything up :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
thats a very cool program... The preset beats they have a pretty cool, I wish I could arrange sounds well enough to make beats like that... I have a long way to go. :/ |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
and for breaks loop editing/slicing (recycle style) get PHATMATIK PRO vst |
||||||||
|
|

|

FL4 all the way baby |
||||||||

ok after a bit of success with hammerhead, I think what I need now is a program that records everything that is playing through the speakers into wav or mp3 format. I want to capture the build-up of the drums rather than just record a finished loop. What are some progs that can do that? |
