Cubase sx 3

[Jay Pace]

all very true

But I still reckon its better to use a drum machine to build the groove to start with.

Then export the drums as a midi file to cubase, and muck about with it.

Looking at a blank midi map doesn't do much to inspire.

fair enough

it doesn`t really mean much to me though

set cubase to loop call up the piano roll and what your looking at is essentially the same as a drum machine anyhoo , you click on the squares to put the hits in and then hear them in the loop , same same but different .

drum machine looks prettier of course

but i write music with my ears







there really hard to click the mouse with though

All this reminds me of why I switched to Renoise.

****ing about in a horizontal sequencer to make beats is not the way to go. You can do it, of course, but doing it in a tracker is SO SO SO much faster and intuitive.

I have working on a soundtrack for a new horror film here in japan, and I needed to use Cubase to be able to work with long audio samples.

For old times sake i decided to make a simple 4/4 drum loop with a kick, a snare, two sets of hats and some incedental noises. My god. It took about a WEEK!

Great for long audio work, but a pain in the arse for beats.

I gotta say, I'm far more used to using the piano roll for making drum beats. I'm quick at it too. Its a case of what your most used to really.
