I agree, I like hard quantised rhythms for dubstep, stuff that a real drummer can't do very well (I'm a drummer) I like it sounding electronic. I think human timing is good for hip hop vibes as hardware samplers introduced this into the production. I try making stuff a bit out but it generally seems to contrived, however we all like a little garage type swing. Can't even listen to Fly lo anymore as I just see his stuff as being way over the top and annoying. Do think he is overrated.

Sounds as good as 2 slightly unmatched records to me

I just wanted to know how it's done in the OP. I want my snares to hit better.

Best advice ever! Practicing mpc style drumming has changed the way i produce and the way i perform. Its a great skill to learn.
Having your different layers of snares hit slightly off can yield surprisingly interesting results too.

Lol.
My typing is terrible. I go from this netbook to normal size keyboards to wierd split-center ergonomic deals at various times throughout the day, never adjust to any of them properly
i hope that explains why I seem less the coherent on here sometimes... Im not a TOTAL alchie.
