Hi.

I'm very new at recording and making songs. I started recently working on music with my dad who did a little recording in the mid 80's, and we are trying to build a little home studio to dabble in.

We have a recording unit (?), a decent mic, bass and guitars. My question is about a drum machine.

We have a 1987 Korg DDD-1, and neither me or my dad can figure out how to decently program it. (Plus -- since it's so old i guess -- it sounds a *little* cheesy)

We have been using whatever someone else programmed on it long ago to use as drums for songs. This is, uh, sort of restricting, and there are only so many patterns...

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what would be a decent (and ::cough:: fairly easy to use) drum machine in the $600 area. (slightly more or any amount less)

Thanks!

Dependingon how good of quality you want, you could do a software based drum program like fruity loops....I think its $35 now and there are TONS of free samples that will work with it all over the internet.....you could compose the drum part and "play" it into your recorder....
 
Thank you!

Thanks! I am checking those out! :)

of course, the old standby is the Alesis SR-16, which has been in production now for at least 12 years, and can be had cheap on ebay or elsewhere...
