In this piece I'm going to let you know about some new Drum Machine Software that I have just come across which is fast becoming my fave. The smartest thing about this secret software is that you can use if from any computer in the world and be making killer beats in no time. Cool! Let's start = Don't you do not like how long it takes to form beats with Oldschool drum machine software like Reason or Pro Tools? And that is's after you spend $800 or more to get set up with those systems. The difficulty is that as a musician these programs get in the way of the recording process rather than help it... We've all the had that burst of inspiration only to be set back time and time and again by making an attempt to work out how to get your speakers chatting to the software, and importing the drum loops...it can be mind boggling. So with that said and after an exceedingly irritating session yesterday, I set out to get a better answer to this problem and I came across a program called Sonic Producer. The videos on their internet site are bit weird but I adore the idea. Basically you can log-in to their drum software and make all your beats online then download in a format that fits your project. I paid the charge and got right into the drum machine software... The members area is an excellent spot to generate ideas and the software works so well I had the my first beat worked out in around an hour. Then I was addicted and had the second one done in under 30 minutes. ( I believe that I could be turning into a geek ) What can this programme do? == The Drum Machine Software - it wouldn't be much good if the drum sounds where no good and I think these men have done quite a good job here. All the examples i have used so far for kicks, snares and cymbals have worked very well. == Guitar - The software is packed with guitar sounds also with clean, distortion and even a Wah effect kind of like Jimi Hendrix used to use. == Piano - Yes...they even have a Hammond Organ! Blokes this is not just drum machine software, it's more like a full music production lab. At the end I've made 7 tunes since I got started and most of them sound great apart from when I attempted to use too much trumpet;- ) You can actually get up and running fast because they have got a whole set of step by steps tutorial videos which explain the beat maker. These videos alone are way more than worth what you actually have to pay for the software ( I got it for $29.95 ) If your simply make beats that get onto the radio this isn't for you... ...But if you would like to make the whole process of music making much easier then look at this evil drum machine software when you have a little time.
