Ni's Battery will be much more useful since you could always buy new sample cds to run thru it.

Hi Alex, yeah, I do own Intakt and it is a good piece of software. It's very much like the rex player in Reason where the pitch and tempo are independent of each other and you can manipulate the loop at the slice (or hit) level. But honestly, once you go with RMX, you will probably never want to use another software for rhythm generation. I really can't do it justice here, but it really is an amazing piece of software. Now don't get me wrong, RMX is very expandable with sage expanders from both spectrasonics and illios - neither of these require and slicing on your part. But I just love the flexibility RMX offers me as far as importing my own sample libraries (and own customized loops) into RMX using recycle. RMX has breathed a whole new life into my sample library - with it's amazing effects section, chaos improvisation etc. For me, recycle is actually quite a simple program, but I have been using it for years and have gotten to the point where I can cut up a loop or sample set almost perfectly. It takes a little practice, but you eventually get the hang of it and once you do, you end up going through everything and cutting it up to get it into RMX!

Hey Doc, have you used NI's Inktakt?
I have read on another forum that Intakt is similar to ReCycle, maybe easier, maybe a little more feature rich.
I bought Reason almost 2 years ago and hated it so I never got into ReCycle...
Cheers!

also Alex, think of recycle more as a tool rather than an instrument. Basically you use recycle to properly "cut up" your loops to proper hit points so that they can be played back in your software of choice.

Yeah.. we also use RMX, 1000 times better than Groove agent.
Were using it on our new track which is nearly finished..The DOC has already had a preview of the track and he likes it.
After getting a slaging off from certain people we totally changed our style
COMING SOON

for the drum parts i import the samples directly into audio tracks in cubase and create my rythms, i feel i have a better control over them this way, and i gain some RAM & CPU usage

I one ore more of the following, separatrely or layered, played or programmed:
Yamaha Motif ES Rack drum kits
Roland TD6KV VDrum kit
Reason V3 + RDK
Between that lot I usuall find what I am looking for, though I keep going through phases where I lust after a machine drum.
If you have no other hardware rompler/synths at all, then I think you should have a good look at a rompler to give you access to all those stock sounds that are really useful sometimes, including loads of drum sounds usually.
Reason is very good and easy to work with, but I personally find its raw samples seem to be a bit dead and take a fair bit of tweaking a procesing to bring alive. You can of course easily include your own, so I often sample of my v-drum kit. Motif ES drums seem to have a good punch to them, so I quite like them, either single or layered with something else.
I still think that for most flavours of electronica, there is nothing better for drums than a machine drum. (Lust... )
Oh yeh - V-Synth makes for an excellent drum machine as well.
BTW - girl next door - I love that cover art - really nice

You can pick up a Novation Drumstation for very reasonable money if you can find one and that will give you EXACTLY the same sounds as a TR808 and TR909 (Have done direct comparisons and forking out for the original Roland boxes is sheer stupidity IMO)
The Drumstation will give you 8 1/4 inch jack outputs and each sound is freely assignable to each output. If only it had a step sequencer it would be one of the best drum machines out (besides Machinedrum of course, but thats at least 5 times the price)
Now, does anyone know of a hardware midi step sequencer that I could step write on to control the drumstation with?

EMU sampler here.
The EMU has multiple outs, which alows me to process each drum/loop/loop-part differently - also recording each drum element to a seperate track is a must. It also has a gain boost which is very pleasing. And the filters are fucking great!
I use recycle to chop and re-chop beats, transfering them back and forth to the sampler.
I also have a HPD15 which I use a trigger for certain beats. Although I've been thinking of selling this thing, beacause I like the feel of doing most of my drums from the keyboard, as it gives you lots of control over gating.
