I currently record guitars and vocals into my PC, but have to program the drums, as I don't yet have a drumkit, or the room to put it anywhere!!!
I either use fruityloops or reason to get some pop/rock drum tracks going. They sound ok, but obviously not as good as the real thing. I read this tip in sound on sound magazine about making programmed drums sound more realistic - by miking up a hi-hat and cymbals, and playing along with the programmed parts. This makes them sound less artificial, as not every hit sounds the same.
Has anyone had any experience of trying this? What results did you get? Does anyone have any songs/samples of this set-up in action?
If it's a good technique then I could buy a hi-hat first, to add a little realism to the drum tracks!
