Thank´s for the late night enternainment...nice playin´ man...
enjoying it as I write this...sounds very good too...
"After a most embarrassing post...." never mind that,
that´s really one of the very refreshing qualities of yours...
that you just jump in and do things.
I think that´s a very good way of learning, maybe the best.
Many of us are control-freaks to some degree, I guess, inhibited europeans...
producers..technicians..
Yea I know, I generalise in the extreme and we vary a lot, yes, ok, but anyway...
There´s some grain of truth in that, I think.

S4L, why don't you implement a simple drumloop in your recording(s)?
There are a trillion loops out there, in every style and quality, also free to dld from the web.
It'd give your life play more sense, even if only as a guide line
Blues ---> black culture
Hillary---> black voters
S4L ---> singing the blues
You look happy with the news

Great Idea.
I was struggling last week trying to do Carl Palmers Brushed Kit, and Buddy Rich's phenominal sounding Brushed / Shimmer style.
I really need to learn how to take a loop and time stretch it to accellarate, and ritard the tempo to match a solo piano performance. Since that is where the creation starts, it would be counter productive to play around the loop. Afterall, in a live venue that's what the bass and drums do during a jazz trio performance.
I love watching drummers watch the soloist, be it the bassist, guitarist, or pianist, and hear two or three notes in a slower tempo and be able to follow it.
Where would you suggest I start listening to quality drum loops? I worked w/ Dave Weckyl many years back and know he would make a couple for me, but I doubt I would get a discount.
I Appreciate Your Ideas, They Already Have My Wheels Spinnin'.
Thanks.

set Cubase's tempo to your need.
Import a drumloop.
If the loop i.e. shows 3 3/4 length of your cycle length, prepare for lengthening the drumloop.
You're on Cubase 4, isn't it.
Open the audio editor of the loop.
Create a cycle in that editor with a length of the numbers of bars of the drumloop.
(draw along the bar at the uppersite of the audio editor window.
You don't per se have to activate the cycle play symbol, but it can be handy.
Check the small 'Do' menu in the upperleft corner of the editor.
Choose 'fit audio to loop length' or something.
See what happens.
This can be usefull also:
Say you have a loop to your wish, and you wanne have Cubase exactly following it's tempo.
In the same Do menu you can chose 'fit tempo to audio.
But you can also do this by hand: scroll the tempo count of Cubase while whatching the end of the drumloop in the audio editor.
Scroll untill the graph fits exactly the bar end of the time bar.
You may have to zoom in at the end and scroll the tempo numbers behind the comma.
good luck, it easy and fast if you manage to do it once.
I don't have much loops on real kits.
Smoov Grooves by Big Fish Audio could be nice for you.
Take a start here (but there's so much around): http://www.dy-nas-d.com/samples.htm

Great Tip.
Copied it to a Word Document.
Too bad the manuals aren't as " To the point " as your decription.
Thanks.
P.S. As we were speaking someone just sent me a " Slave Device " for recording with, using Modular. It seems to have a drum kit as well.
The benefits of embarrassing myself I suppose.
Thank You ~~~~~~~~~~My Brotha'. Very Kind.

I was using a custom EP patch I made in the Lexicon PCM91.
I am happy somebody finally noticed it.
I use it lightly, but with out the reverb it would sound sterile as a VST synth.
It really isn't a true realistic reverb actually, but it's that Lexicon lushness that just sounds great on certain instruments. EP's being one of them.
I am dreaming right now of an XITE-1 w/ a Bricasti Model 7. It will be used for foley work, and post video where footsteps and the slightest spaces must be re created realistically.But for a great reverb on instruments the Pcm91 is a tough customer.
Glad You Like It. I find the Vibrato more fun than the real one as it is perfectly customised to taste, and when I play really soft dynamically, it reminds of an LFO based effect.
