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 following in the Drums group as well:
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 and loops like what I've found at http://2dcd.com.
I could spend about $400 and get the DR-770 drum machine, hook it up to a mixer and load a pattern directly onto a track or I could spend about $50 for PC Drummer which has a good sound and create a drum track, export it to a WAV file and import it into a Cool Edit Pro track. The other option that I think I have is to purchase a bunch of great sounding samples and loops like I've heard at http://www.2dcd.com and figure out how to get them into a drum pattern for creating a track.
Will Cool Edit Pro even allow creating tracks from individual samples and if so is it extremely painful? I know most folks have Cakewalk so how is it done in that program? Thanks in advance!
