well atempted prog / breaks... Im think about buying some sort of drum machine maybe that whole hands on thing would help me......

Well, that depends... what are you using now?

And no wonder you're fed up, I don't think it's wise to try and compare yourself to BT, at least at this stage.

I seem to be getting better, although my percussion sounds more housey than progressive for some reason...

using a combination of tr 909 samples, the kit in my kurzweil, and various synths within logic........

Posted by Michael Russo on Apr-06-2003 15:13:

So are you using your kurzweil as your sampler, and programming your hits in the matrix editor?

Posted by fr0st on Apr-06-2003 18:31:

no im sampling the kurzweil..

Why are you sampling it if you have it. Why don't you just record the midi notes and then send them back to your kurzweil thingy and have the audio sent back into logic. You get way more control this way.

Here's my tip. Think of a song, then let your mind run free untill soon, it sounds completely different. Then jump on your computer and get those notes down.

Key to programming breaks a la BT:

Think in terms of inside and outside layers. The inside layer has all your busy jigga-jigga stuff, and the outside layer (i.e. the louder punchier one) is BOOM, KAK, - -, BOOM-KAK. The inside layer should be filtered, like only highs or only mid & a bit of highs.

Examine the original breakbeats (James Brown, etc.)

aiight!
