drum loops

[wintermadness]

I am a beginner at this, and I have a certain drum loop program which takes forever to get all together,but I don't know how to do it at different speeds for each part...

Anyone know a good program that is pretty easy to use?

For sequencing drums, I gotta say, nothing beats FLStudio. It can do other stuff too of course but it has the following great features;

1. VERY easy to use beat slicer that has a good detection algorithm.

2. Incredibly easier to use step sequencer for quickly making your own patterns from oneshot samples.

3. File browser docked at the left side with preview, search, and drag and drop capabilities - makes it extremely easy to audition a ton of samples and then instanteously create sampler or slicer channels for them.

4. FPC drum machine plugin, an Akai MPC emulator that is great if you want a more realistic sound as it allows for easy mapping of multiple drum sounds.

5. Good independent time/pitch stretching algorithm for importing loops of different tempos and syncing them.

6. Fairly good built in library of drum samples to get you started.

Excellent, sounds good I'll try it out.. Thanks for that
