Re: drum machine compression

Howdy,

 Yes, I'll start my sequence on record and play the
drums on a synth keyboard. I play what i feel or what
imight think is appropriate. After I have gone through
4 lines of music94beats x 4 measures x 4
lines=64beats,I'll stop and set the length to 64. That
gives me a verse. I might program a different 64 beat
part for the chorus. Some 32 beats for bridge
whatever. I'll go back and maybe quantize, maybe not.
I may erase one midi note(instrument through the
entire track and rerecord it so it is nonquantized. I
don't do fills on the first pass because I'm not that
good. i'll leave a hole with mabe just kick. I record
again and add the fills until satisfied(on another
track0. When all is well, I merge down to 1 track.
(Alesis mmt8).
