thanks for the +ve dudes:) im happy your likin this, ill finish it soon an post,, maybe use as demo material, wut labels tho??

the hats are clean-> they were straight out da drumstation (Hardware), thru compression, efx rack unit (zoom1204 reverb??) then recorded as audio on cubase project.

I dunno, hardware on hats seems to have a more "clear" and "airy" sound. Love the Drumstation, best thing pr a 909.. The poked efx are from gating the hats usin the HW compressor, and pitch shift on the ride insert as ya would live:)) jus chopped it to make it abruptly end as if it had been crossfaded in a mix.

reverb is always good. nothin special here, jus standard cubase reverb. I just always have quite long delays, LOADS of pre-delay timed to sync with the next 16th along in the beat, and use very sparsly, like 3% wet... it just adds ambience.
