I am going back to basics with my rhythmical section on my track. While salivating on the DFAM, I feel I haven’t explored at all using the OT as drum machine.
Using the Digitack in the last year, the creation of a drum-kit/drum track seems more approachable and a bit more intuitive. But now I traded the DT and I’m fully committed to the OT.
While learning about synthesis, from the synthesizer cookbook, to other really interesting material, I don’t find a lot of material on creating a drum track from samples or from a drum synth. I might not be looking in the right direction. Are there book on that subject? Or should I simply go with a Learn to Drum type of literature, but then how about all the rhythmical wisdom of the rest of the world.
How are you guys approaching the rhythm section in your composition? I have a really hard time just buying a drum kit and using that. I like to create my own drum sound on my Mopho and sampling that, which is great but also have it’s limitation. I haven’t tried a drum synth at this point, although I’m sure my synth have enough sound power to make a good drum synth (Medusa, Typhon and Mopho). But creating all my sound also limits my exploration.
I understand the basic concept of Drum, Snare, Hi Hat, and some basic construction, but I’m definitely looking into expanding these concept and deeper understandings .
