So, I can lay down a few tracks of vocal, guitar, and even a bit of woodwind. But I need bass and drums to complete everything. As fate would have it, I don't know any bassists or drummers around here. So, do I want a groove box, a sequencer, a sampler, a drum machine or what? How do these things work and what're their differences?

Thanks!
 
Hey Jason,

ok, most decent drum machines have sequencers built in, so you can build up a rhythm piece by piece, or loop by loop.
Some even have bass sounds to use in the same way.
Most of the ones that sound decent are getting quite pricey, at least in Australian dollars!

Hey, do you own a Playstation? Music2000 is a sequencer/remixer that you can even sample your own sounds with, and use them to build up riffs & loops, note by note!
Not a bad starting point for very little money.

Hope this helps.

i would recomend either the 303 Groovebox for about $600 or the boss dr-5 mkII for about $300 both offer a wide range of sounds and built in sequincers
 
Dr. Groove

The Roland Dr. Groove drum machine is good, has a nice selection of sounds, fairly easy to program.
 
ASR X PRO

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL I'M A MUSICIAN WHO DOESN'T PLAY IT ALL, BUT WANTS IT ALL. SO I BOUGHT THE ASR AND IT HAS EVERYTHING I NEED FROM ALMOST EVERYKIND OF INSTRUMENT, SEQUENCER.SAMPLER,MIDI CONTROLER I PAID AROUND $800 IT MAY SOUND LIKE ALOT BUT YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON YOUR MUSIC:cool:
