    Getting drum tracks into multitrack recording software

    Even though this message is somewhat off topic for Cakewalk I hope you folks familiar with Cakewalk can help with the generic question of creating drum tracks from nothing but drum samples. Please help me with all the other questions as well if you can and I will get grateful. I did post the...

    Using samples or a drum machine - Advice please!

    Hello, I am looking for the right and best way to record drum tracks into Cool Edit Pro. I have been looking at either a drum machine (DR-770), a PC based drum program like "PC Drummer - <A HREF="http://www.pcdrummer.com"" TARGET=_blank>http://www.pcdrummer.com"</A> or prerecorded drum samples...

    Samples samples samples

    I've been looking around from samples as well and have found http://www.2dcd.com/ which is the home page of "two dudes" drum samples. This seems to be the truest sounding drum samples I've ever heard. -- Jared

    MIDI - What's the big deal?

    All MIDI files that I hear are these cheap sounding toy keyboards. Is that all there is to MIDI or am I missing something? Really, I've been perplexed as to what this is all about. What is the enjoyment in MIDI, is it just something to have fun with? That's cool if it's just for fun. I did...

    Several questions - Please read! :-)

    Hello all. This is a fantastic web site and I have been reading it all day and now my eyes feel like two piss holes in the snow. :-) I am a guitarist of 30 years and have musical ideas all the time that, if not recorded, are quickly forgotten. I have used a Fostex 4-track in the past but I...
