Hello All,
I've used Cakewalk/Sonar for many years. I'm used to creating my drum
tracks manually using MIDI. Although it is a time-consuming process, I can
create good patterns and fills.
A couple of years ago I purchased DFH and now I route my MIDI drum patterns
through the DR008 to trigger the DFH samples. It sounds great, but it is
still a very time-consuming process to create convincing drum parts that go
beyond basic beats and have random fills.
Therefore, is there a product or Cakewalk feature I can use to speed-up the
process of creating drum parts. I compose in jazz/fusion/progressive-
rock/gospel/funk styles, therefore I am not looking for simple hip-hop,
techno, rap loops or basic rock beats. I need to create convincing drum
parts for the aforementioned styles, with random fills, and in different
time signatures.
Thanks!
Dave White
