How do you program your drums?

[shonky]

you have to feel the groove with your whole being if you're mousing it out, so there is something tangible. I record myself beatboxing all the time, everwhere, and then go back in the studio and listen until I feel the grooves, then start to translate down. With preconception, working in straight audio has all the advantages of tapping down rhythm.

I suppose that if you had a portable recorder, you could beatbox into that and then either stick it in Recycle or make a groove template and extract the midi file and then just apply the correct drum sounds to fit

for making new patterns? dubstep drums? no...ok...

I create beats in a number of reaktor sequencers...bounce em in logic...and to make things interesting, i chop stuff and mangle using reaktors beat/loop choppers, glitch, & granular machines.

then i'll EQ accordingly.

sometimes i forget that this is a dubstep forum. And i don't make dubstep.

Get a drum machine. Totally different way of thinking about drums.

I use my typing keyboard as a MIDI keyboard, so usually I just whack my dick on the keys till good sound comes.

You stole the words directly out of my mouth! Nice. Z
