Certainly Chrismond.

Basically there is no such thing as a wrong sound.

Even though something may sound incredibly limp or crap upon first listen, that is not the end of the story.

Pitch it up...

Pitch it down...

Make the pitch bend...

Change the envelope shape...

Reverse it...

Loop it up...

Use veloicty to vary volume, filter etc...

... and that's before you even break out the FX :)

Try loading in a load of random samples into Re:Drum in Reason - don't check what they are, just load them in - and then play with each noise using the controls until you get an "interesting" sound.

Now make a pattern.
