Drums in Cubase??/
 

What are you guys using for drum programming in cubase. I have stylus RMX, but was more looking for sampler style drums where I can load in one shots and program away. In Logic, I used the EXS24mkII sampler, but in SX3 all I find is the shitty LM7...

Thanks

audio drum progreming techniques....
sometimes i use battery 2 and convert midi tracks back to audio of course to delete any letancy,i like it when everything is precious. :D

Usually I'll just play drums live off the keyboard recording straight into standard midi tracks in VST32, then I'll open the standard midi edit window for fine touches or unplayable sections. Once I have a working groove down, I'll record to audio (making sure kicks, highend and snares are on seperate tracks). From here I'll start the layering process.

The above statment would work for any sampler you use, but I still like outboard samplers.

do you run your sampler thru any outboard gear? distortion or compressor?

Guessing this question was for me Tommer?

Yep, but I don't use distortion that often on drums. Compression I do - wish I had some more cash for a few more actually.

Most of the time I'll use the Emu output boost to get a big sound. You can drive the Emu samplers outputs up to the point where they kind of clip (but it doesn't sound digital), then I'll over drive the desk too - doing these 2 things seems to give drums more presence and guts.
