Ha! You asked some great questions on things I should have provided! Thanks for taking the time to answer even though I didn't provide that information.

I tend to program in GM initially, because it's just easier many times. It doesn't always sound that great from a sample perspective, but I replace them anyway.

I am using the slate line of drum samples. I'm a big fan of his samples.

I am running windows.

That being said, I'm thinking what I'm looking for is a little too specific to be marketable.

After you mentioned RB having something, I did look at it, and that is getting closer. That too would be a rather intensive way of programming drums. It's very workable if you are using a repeating pattern. I get that's what most musicians think drummers do, but the greats have a lot of subtle playing going on...as an instruments does.

I wasn't sure what program you were referring to in "2-"

I did manage to find something call rhythm rascal that is getting closer too. I guess I could use that, and adjust volumes in my pg software.

I will keep looking, but appreciate any insights always.

Thank you for taking the time to answer!
