Newbie here, I’m not sure which section is most appropriate for this, so here I am.
I’m a solo recording artist using GarageBand on a MacBook. It’s not practical in my current living situation to have a real drum kit, so I’m looking to go digital but I’m not really sure where to start. I want the sound to be as close as possible to the real thing and need something more than just loops and automatic fills.
From what I’ve been able to research so far, it seems that a drum machine would be my best option but there seems to be a pretty wide range of choices depending on functionality.
I have guitar and bass down, I’m essentially trying to be my own drummer without having a physical drum kit. Do I go with a drum machine, and if so, what features should be my main priority? Is it relatively easy to just plug in and play/record through garage band?
Any and all advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!
