After years of fiddling around with guitar stuff I'm finally going into a studio in two weeks to start work on a 5 track demo.

 

I'm currently pulling everything together very roughly using Cubase to give the engineer an idea of where I'm going. Up till now I've been using the sparse but functional drum loops that come with the Zoom G2.1u unit I've got.

 

I also have a copy of Reason (cheers again Si if you're reading this...the CD's for you and Vini are finally being sent off tomorrow, apologies for the delay, been a bit under the weather recently and haven't been able to get out of the house to send them off :( ) so I could program what I need in but it seems a bit daft when I'll be doing it properly with the studio's set-up (and with someone who actually knows what they're doing!) and since I only need a rough working version, they don't need to be spot on so the time it would take getting my head round it could be used just getting the other parts down before I go.

 

So...does anybody know of any sites that have free downloadable audio drum loops I could have a look at?

 

Cheers,

 

Leigh.

HTH

oh ffs.. you lazy bugger.... load up reason.. load up the bloody drum machine and then off you go, also if you look in the library for the sampler you will see a 5hit load of drum loops already in there and you can then edit them and export them to cubase.. or even better you can have cubase and reasona running at the same time and you can use reason as a massive plugin suite or just sync it to cubase in real time.

 

if i was closer i would pop over.. but im sure the woman would notice me missing for over 2 days

Lol! ;) Cheers Si but the trouble is the majority of the loops already in Reason are too dance/hip hop for what I need and like I say there's not much point programming in my own as the guy I'm seeing for the demo has got this (amongst other things!) http://www.toontrack.com/demos/chicken_low.mov and all the time remaining I need to concentrate on getting the guitar riffs and fills, the bass lines and my rough working plan of what synth lines I'm going for into a cohesive track on Cubase rather than as individual parts as they are at the moment (I guess it isn't the end of the world if I can't but I think it might speed things up). My little head might just explode. :D

 

Z32KING: cheers for the link but for the little I need it for it's not worth forking out the cash TBH! Thanks though :)
