    weird part about drum loops

    So I've been goofing with the drump loops I got from Beta Monkey. They're pretty cool, but I've encountered some oddities. Comment on any of these as you like: - I sometimes get "pops" when I put two back-to-back. They're in time, but I can't make them not pop. Perhaps it's the program...

    Maiden not mastering their new album!

    Is this crazy or what! Iron Maiden is not going to be mastering their latest CD. I've never heard of such an occurance. Does this happen often with "big" releases? ------ Producer Kevin Shirley (IRON MAIDEN, DREAM THEATER) has posted the following message on his official web site: Spoke to...

    Anyone remember that Meshuggah-like band?

    Anyone know the name of that band that sounded just like Meshuggah that posted stuff here? I was trying to think of their name to check out their stuff again, but I can't recall it.

    Decent generic version of drums on demand?

    As usual, I'm being a total penny pincher, and instead of wanting to drop cash on Drums on Demand, I'm considering delving into one of the $20 CD sets of drum loops on ebay. I'm tired of programming, mouse clicking, trigger-hitting, keyboarding out drums, etc. Has anyone tried one of the...

    Drummer challenge/project

    I have perhaps a challenge for a drummer. Or at least something to keep a bored drummer busy. Most guitarists (including me) come here and look for drummers to put drum parts to their riffs. Fine and dandy, but that's a one way street. I would like to extend the "challenge" to a willing...

    need guitar sound/tone advice...metal tune

    I did this quick direct recording for a forum drummer member to put drums to, and I can't figure out if I actually like the direct recorded sound out of my old line 6 head. I don't want to go direct thinking it sounds good only to realize a few weeks down the road I should really mic a cab. It...

    recording drums (as a guitarist) sucks.

    I posted this at another site I go to, but I don't think anyone felt my pain. No matter how I do it, recording drums just sucks. I thought I'd crank out a QUICK 3-minute song yesterday, and I spent the whole day goofing with the drums. This time I used my drum module (a Yamaha TMX) and a DIY...

    DIY digital drumkit in production

    Part I. I recently decided to go with a module off Ebay and DIY triggers for drums, instead of a programmable drum machine or computer-based program. Maybe my silly escpades will help people attempting to do DIY digital drums. I know there are several websites about it, but this is even...

    Dumb question - place for cheap patch cables?

    I finally scored a drum module, and I need like 12 patch cables. I always pay out the ass at Guitar Center and Rad Shack, so where's a reasonable place to get some decent 1/4-inch audio cables? I'm not one of those types that needs Monster cables - the cheaper the better, as long as they work.

    ROG-type amp design question

    I have a crappy old stereo speaker, in a nice-looking vintage wood cabinet. I'd like to construct a little amp for it, like ROG's ruby, but I've got a concern first: I'd like the amp to be VERY low wattage, and the grittier/old radio sounding the better (lots of middle, little bass, scratchy)...

    songs done with d4 or dm5 and diy triggers?

    anyone got links to mp3s of songs done with an alesis brain and diy triggers? I guess they don't have to be DIY, but that was my plan, and I want to see how it's going to work in a song situation. if this has been asked before, just direct me to the previous thread. side note: I don't...

    Anyone dig this intro? [hiphop beat w/guitar]

    I should preface this by saying it's a very brief intro part I'm trying to explore as a whole song. I really like hammerhead beats for some reason, even though they're fake as hell. I'm just looking for a little feedback to see if you think it'll work, or does it sound like total cheese so...

    Choice b/w two low-priced keyboards

    OK, I have a gift certificate for musician's friend, so I need to get something there. I've decided on a keyboard, but there's two I can't decide between: Casio CTK-800 vs Yamaha PSR E303 I basically want a unit that could be used alone, with a ton of sounds. Drum sounds would be cool (which...

    Drum issues!!!

    I've read the threads, I've scanned ebay, froogle, musician's friend's scratch and dent department, pulled my hair out, etc., and the problem still remains: what to do about drums these days (for rock/metal music)? First I used a Lynn Drum (spelling?), then I used to use a boss dr-550, then...
