Yeah, i do tweak my drum sounds on the computer but not by much. I do enjoy using my synth for wierd sounds, great fun. But techno people always say how much they do to get their samples but what do they sample and what do they do to these samples exactly? I write hard techy stuff like makaton, rumienge style of broken beats techno and i also write lots of dub and dubtechno and i like the drums etc to sound real and enjoy using reverb and delay to get the space and hypnotic effect that i like..... It makes sense to write the music first then to sample the bits you want to improve and take forward and mess with, time to expand some horizons methinks!!
