In this post I'm going to let you know about some new Drum Machine Software that I have just come across which is quickly becoming my fave.
The best thing about this secret software is that you can use if from any computer in the world and be making killer beats in virtually no time.
Cool! Let's start =
Don't you dislike how long it takes to form beats with Old Skool drum machine software like Reason or Pro Tools? And that is's after you spend $800 or more to get started with those systems.
The issue 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 trying to work out how it is possible to get your speakers speaking to the software, and importing the drum loops...it can be mind boggling.
So with that said and after a very exasperating session yesterday, I set out to find a better solution to this problem and I discovered a program called Sonic Producer.
The videos on their internet site are bit weird but I like the concept. Essentially 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 fee and got right into the drum machine software...
The members area is a great place to come up with ideas and the software works so well that I had the my first beat worked out in roughly an hour. Then I was dependent and had the second one done in under a half hour. ( I believe I might be turning into a geek )
What can this software do?
== The Drum Machine Software - it wouldn't be much good if the drum sounds where no good and I believe these men have done quite a good job here. All the samples i have used so far for kicks, snares and cymbals have worked really well.
== Guitar - The software is packed with guitar sounds too with clean, distortion and even a Wah effect sort of like Jimi Hendrix once used.
== Piano - Yes...they have a Hammond Organ!
Blokes this isn't just drum machine software, it's more of a full music production lab.
At the end I've made seven tunes since I got started and a lot of them sound good aside from when I tried to use too much trumpet;- )
You can actually get successfully running fast because they have a whole set of step by steps tutorial videos which explain the beat maker. These videos alone are more than worth what you really need 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 entire process of music making much easier then check out this cruel drum machine software when you have a little time.
I have done a much more detailed review of the software on my site which you can read here : Drum Machine Software - are you able to actually Make Beats in 4 Minutes?
If you need Drum Machine Software it is a must...
