drum pads are way better. you cant tap out fast notes (16th/32nd) using one key of a keyboard.akaie wrote: Question: Has anyone tried to use a midi keyboard to do drum programming? does it work? Is there a huge difference from using drum pads?
i think recording live is a great way to put a funky, old school feel into your tracks. sometimes i'll have a friend come over and record him live fiddleing with a sequenced monosynth while i try out differnt mutes and patterns of drums. then you can always chop it up later, add fx .etc etc.
