That's the route I went - gaming mini-PC. Dedicated to Reaper. Very happy so far. Mine is nearly identical to this one:

And these guys:
The amp on the right is a vintage 1965 Fender Tremolux. I picked it up many years ago through a trade after doing some air conditioning work for a drummer friend. He bought it cheap from the original owner who was a steel player. According to him - it never had an electric...
Not sure if this qualifies - but I've had this DS-1 so long I can't remember when I bought it. It's been modified to curb that shrill edgy-ness that these are known for - I still use it from time to time. I gigged heavily for many years and this thing was a mainstay on my board during that...
The R8 was/is a great drum machine. 2-3 year after the R8 came out - Roland released another killer drum machine - the R70. I still have and use mine. I use mine mostly for some of the cool, unique sound effects that you can't find anywhere else. But yeah - the R70 still works perfectly even...
And getting a little nerdy.... that is the R2 version of the WA87 - as opposed to the first generation version.
She's got a cool, vibey-presence Karen Carpenter quality to her voice.
I haven't done it often - but it has happened.... where I start a song idea with a drum part, a groove. I love killer rhythm. So why not? It's unusual - but the rules are: there ain't no rules.
There's no trying to minimize the reality. It's can be - and usually is - a complete pain in the fucking ass.
I've enjoyed - and will continue to enjoy - learning Reaper. It's a fantastic piece of software. For all kinds of reasons. But dealing with plugins is a constant reminder of why I...
Just to be clear and helpful - as stated above - EZDrummer 3 has the ability/function to move single sequence hits ever so slightly to change the feel (or for whatever reason). It is literally called "nudge". I'm not looking at it right now - but as I recall - you can set the increments or size...
Yes. He and I knew each other at another forum for about 25 years. If you think some of the political sparring here has gotten a little prickly at times.... whoa nelly.... you ain't seen nothin. He and I used to get after it. We disagreed on a lot of issues - but I also knew he had a good...
Ive been using EZDrummer 2 and now 3 (since it was released) with the Tascam DP-32SD for about 10 years now. I love that work flow. It's perfect for my purposes. I'm starting to work more in Reaper - but for sketching or getting basic mixes down - this is still my go-to approach. It's quick...
