Heritage1970 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hi all! First off let me say I'm not a drum machine guy. In any way shape or form! Every recording I've ever done my entire life has been with a real drummer and I don't plan on changing that ever! That being said, I'm looking to get something to lay down a decent drum track that I can run right into my 8-track recorder and it will sound decent. I have absolutely no experience or knowledge of drum machines at all, I have heard that Beat Buddy is pretty good, and I have heard people talk about other models that actually adapt to the song that is playing to make a perfect beat. Again I know nothing about it so hoping some of you have some experience with home recording and can suggest one that's user friendly but actually does a great job too. Thanks everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Hey, For a simple but awesome sounding drum app for your phone, try LOOPZ. It was created by Paul Davids (guitar youtuber). It is not a drum machine but it is great for jamming. I run mine through my bluetooth speaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I've got an Alesis SR18. I like the drum sounds, but I never had the patience to do any programming of it. It does have some usable patterns. I used it with my Yamaha AW1600 years ago to do a version of Inner City Blues with only factory patterns. You can also feed it midi tracks from a computer and feed that to your 8 track. I've since moved to MT Power Drumkit in my DAW, although you could send the audio output from your computer to your recorder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
