Help with software
Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 7:23 pm
Hello there.
I don't really post here or, well, anywhere really but I wondered if anybody could offer me a bit of advice please.
The band I'm in is in the process of having a fairly enormous change in style (or 'direction' if you want) but I'm having a bit of trouble. The idea is that I don't play the drums any more and we construct layers of beats to play over and I just get to do the clever stuff over the top. It's supposed to sound a bit amateur-ish and in no way like Red One or whoever, we quite like the sound when we feed fairly ramshackle beats through the P.A and they all collide together.
The only thing is that I really don't know where to start in terms of what software to use. I'd quite like a free trial or something to see if I can figure out what on earth I'm doing before buying anything.
Anybody attempted anything similar or have any sort of a grip on beats programs in general?
Cheers.
