tip010. drum solos/breaks etc etc.
i was mucking around finding ways to do
drum solos in case i ever want one in a song.
for example lets say a 30 sec solo.
unless ive missed something within the soloist i see nothing re
drum solos.
(if someone feels ive missed something , jump in,.)
so then i discovered C.d which is a biab command that will play drums on
their own. (of course one could also solo drums.)
so i started sprinkling around the chordsheet C.d
in conjunction with style/substyle changes.
i got some very interesting drum traks as a result.
lots of drum breaks etc..
which made me think i could do a lib of drum breaks at various
bpm's on my daw for various songs.
in summary i found the C.d feature very usefull.
other possibilities also open up..
for example creating in a daw the illusion of 2 drummers drumming
together via 2 drum daw drops to different traks from biab.
remember also for more craziness you can take a vanilla midi drum trak
and do things with that too. eg moving the midi data up n down
like i used to in powertraks in classics view.
then of course you could reinforce further in your daw with one shot samples.

also let me explain somethings ive done this week with biab genned
drum traks.
once dropped into the daw multitrak software..
you can move bits of the drum trak around.
for example i found in one part of a song the swishy cyms were too
dominant so i replaced with a more straight pattern from elsewhere in the drum trak.
i mean lets face it, you can gen drum traks ad infinitum till
you find something you want or combos of RD patterns to drop into the daw drum traks.

by the way a "got ya". remember when you drop the traks into your daw
(kinda obvious) some lining up might be needed of course to the bar.
(as mentioned before ensure daw bpm = biab bpm.).
it really depends how you work.

ps..remember also you can clik the soundtrak
icon, select only drums in the dialog and create drums of varying length also.

retired puter engr....powertracks on amd......NICE !
