I find battery to be a great tool for making beats. I assume you prefer a redrum interface rather than writing beats in a midi editor? You might be happier with it if you purchased a sound library or two. Native Instruments released a great sound library "Synthetic Drums" complete with example midi files for all the kits etc. I think I paid between $50-$100 for it (wasn't too expensive but well worth it)

Originally posted by nec Hi! It seems very hard to make a good beat with battery in cubase. Is it really that good and i need to learn more or its not? I've worked in reason (there wasnt such problem to make a good one). Does many of you use battery? I've also tried cubase -> reason rewire but aint good for my cpu. Please help! Thanks a lot!

the beats made in battery are as good as samples you put in. so, first you put some good samples, and then make some beats. and yes, it is good - most probably, the best drum sampler there is. i use battery for most of my tracks, but have been switching to dr008 a bit more lately because of its synthesis capabilities.

Battery is cool.. although I wish there was easier to add FX on each channel..

I think atleast there could be the possibility to add reverb, EQing etc. inside Battery.. that would be awesome..
