Hey everybody - I'm a long-time listener, fan, and advocate of OCR. Good to see things are spiffy as ever!
I've just started working on electronic compositions in FruityLoops, Sonar, ProTools, Audacity (Why both? Because I don't have consistent access to the ProTools machine! Boo!) and Sibelius. I'm an undergrad student musician/composer/saxophonist/arranger/technician, more accustomed to arranging for small jazz combos.
My question: how do you get into drum programming? I'm a saxophonist myself, but I can't quite fathom the inventiveness of guys like po!, Quinn Fox, Scott Peeples, Dale North, J:/Drive, and The Wingless (and countless others - I'm just rambling off folks from the top of my head). Usually, I can just dictate a feel and the drummer/percussionist works it out.
This isn't the sort of thing they teach at school, you know? Thanks for taking a moment to point me in the right direction.
