I've got a couple of BetaMonkey loop discs as well (for when I'm too lazy to start programming stuff out in DB right away ;) and like 'em well, though I've not done much with the individual samples up to now. Which samples/groups of samples does your dbkit use? I wonder if I've got the right BetaMonkey stuff to give it a spin, or to adapt it relatively easily ....
Carl, I just checked the betamonkeymusic.com site and he has the Alt kits for his Nov special. He ran that in Aug as well and I bought the 4 pack set. It's good stuff. I grabbed the samples he had on Disk 1 and created a drum kit. I added one or two Rock Drum Kit samples from GarageBand (small, quick snare rolls on the quarter note beat). I'm really pleased with the result. I did two covers with the kit -> Clash's London Calling and a song you probably haven't heard before. Then I took his loops and cobbled together my own version of Slade's Merry Christmas Everyone. It's got a little bit of a punk edge to it. I took the London Calling file and split out the drum parts. Then I used ProTools and imported the track, put some compression and EQ on each drum part, and recorded the bass and guitar (I have no illusions about vocal or guitar talent :) I'm an old time bass player ). The output was fairly good IMHO. If you have the Alt 1 set, let me know and I can send you the DoggieBox kit file. dave ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
