I've had Reason for a year or so and done just about any tutorial I find, but I struggle with programming good techno drums. Does anyone else find this or am I on my own here? Obviously I can program basic drum patterns (I have no problem with house or break beat patterns) but by its nature there is a lot of persussion in techno and my efforts end up sounding weak or like fast house.
I've looked into shuffle, moving hits slightly, and obviously trying various levels of effects on all hits. I just cant get good tight sounding percussion especially the high hats (processing and arrangement). surely this can be done in Reason.
The kind of stuff I like is http://es-helix.com/ramgen/covertus/audio/TR012.21.rm
can any one please shed any light? Any song files or Combinator patches would be much appreciated
