Hammer dulcimer

Erhu

More solo cello.

I've noticed while listening to Pandora that a LOT of music is currently being built around hip-hop drum beats. This is true of multiple genres, notably new age, but others too. I don't know how to describe it, but I've searched the drum beats in RB and haven't found more than one that has "the beat" I want to emulate.

The best way I can describe it is like an idiot:
"bup dub bup, bubba dubba dub dup"
"bup dub bup, bubba dubba dub dup"

an example would be the song ALTEN MARA by the band MYTHOS on their PURITY album

regarding the ALTEN MARA song... the drum beat I'm looking for doesn't kick in until the 0:25 marker
on this version:

Hi Pat,

The drummer in that tune is emulating my favourite drum loop, the Amen break.

There's a great 20 minute documentary about the Amen on Youtube, if you're interested: http://youtu.be/5SaFTm2bcac

Have you tried our HipHop RealDrum? It's a great version of that same rhythm (in my opinion), but our version sounds a bit more like the original Amen break than the version in the tune you linked to (especially in the "bubba dubba part").


Thanks
Kent

Hi Kent,

thanks for the link and reply. I have used the hiphop realdrum, and many of my song ideas in development are heading in that direction.

what I was originally requesting: some new RD that are variations on that beat

However, since posting I've had some luck using the drum grid in RealBand to create the beat I want. But Drum grid beats always sound a bit more techno than the laid-back feel of the Amen break.


Very interesting YouTube video, by the way. I really enjoyed it.

Pat, one way to help eliminate that techno feel is to put each drum on a separate track. Then humanize each track differently. You can also move each track a few ticks forward or backward to add a human feel to your drums.

I hope this helps.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
