Breaking my head!!
Breaking my head!!
Okay I must be missing something...I've been listening to some top notch minimal tracks and I just feel lost as to how these guys pull it off. I mean there's percussion sounds flying around everywhere in perfect order all tuned perfectly, some sounds suddenly appear in reverse and somehow perfectly align with the other million sounds around them!! I feel it would take me a hundred years putting it together!! This post isn't so much about how they specifically do it, but rather what tools they might use.I know there's no magic tool, but I sure could use some advice. I know nothing about being a drummer, so i'm usually very mechanical in writing my loops. I do have Fxpansion guru with some cool swing settings, but even at that .... .Maybe i gotta start using my hands and start hitting some pads! Frustrated.

raddler, bear in mind that a lot of "minimal" aint minimal.

in my opinion the only thing that is holding you back from doing stuff like that is impatience. With the risk of sounding like a hippie, but if you have the will there is nothing stopping you. Set aside a few hours and get down to the nitty gritty and see how it goes.
