What program are you using????
I use reason and I use the regroove, or I just use my drum pad to program my drums in, sometimes no amount of quantising or groove can mimic that human feel.
I hope that was helpful.
I see you a local, let's push this local hip hop....you might be hearing some of my tracks on the radio soon. I'll kepp you posted. _________________ Immortals....We'll put their name to the test!!! |

hey
What I find is it's best to set up some punch to your beat using the Redrum on Reason, solid bass drum, crisp snare and a decent hi-hat at least, maybe some other fx noises. Compression on the bass drum singularly before the mixer seems to help.
Then add break in-fills using Dr.Rex loops (there are tonnes of patches available if you want to avoid the generic Reason offerings), effecting those with a seperate chain of what ever fx you wish, to give them character (I sometimes use chorus/phlanger, phaser, compression and seperate EQ) Also rebuilding them in your own way on the sequencer track makes them individual, instead of just sending them 'to track' as they are. Simply a case of chopping and inserting where desired to get a flow then. Also, the mixing is pretty important, make sure the levels aren't too high on the in-fills, that way you'll keep the punchiness.
Kind of a simple sum-up of what I do, but
Hope this helps
:)
(if this makes sense and you want any more help with anything, prvt message and I'll see what I can do. I'm not an expert, we're all learning, but I'll help if I can) |
