Does anyone know any good drum machines that are at afordable prices, i just need one that i can play guitar to (i'm not a drummer), i want one that will be able to play realy fast (for death metal) and one that is user friendly.
Also, is there a drum machine program i could download off kazza lite for the time being?

U can try out Leaf drums, Hammerhead Rhythm Station ( It kinda sucks though) .....the best one i think is fruity loops

I think Fruityloops is kind of gay.

Prince Charming, if you have msn, add me.

I will send you Sequbeat 7.0 + crack + a shitload of samples (toms, basses, snares, cymbals) so you can compose your own kit.

Once you get the hang of it it's dead easy to make songs. You can then play them on computer or burn them on a cd and play'em like that.

Zoom makes a good drum machine called the Mrt-3. I was going to buy one after I demoed it a while back, but then forgot about it. Now that I've been reminded I might still it get it. It sounds great and it's easy to use, plus It's about $100, which is cheap drum machines. Here's a link.

I havent got msn, but i've just downloaded it of kazza, it lookes like a great program, thanks alot

I'm gonna look at the other suggestions on musicians friend soon, thanks for the help.

1/ Download Sequbeat 7.0 (pro) from their official page (but it's "trial").

2/ search for the crack for 7.0 on kazaa or send me an e-mail it's only 16 kb.

3/ search for drumsamples on the internet (ManyTones might work, try google) and compose your own kit and off you go.

sorry i've just edited my last post, i've just got it off kazza, i'm busy playing with it now, it's way better than i expected.

can you only make the one loop though, are can you have a whole bunch (joined together) to play along with?

Hehe, glad you enjoy it.

Yeah sure you can make whole fucking songs

At the bottom, give your pattern a name and save it. It will appear in the top left column (pattern library).

If you made a couple of patterns, just use the arrows to move them to the right column (play list) and arrange them to your needs.

then select them all (tick boxes), mark the first one and push the double play button (play the goddamn song).

__________________

Will do, thanks for the info, i'm off to get the hang of it now.

Later

It won't let me save for some reason, i set the time bar and type the pattern name but the save icon still stays blank?

are you sure its the full version?

__________________

That's weird.

Even then, Guitarenvy, as far as I remember, the trail version let's you at least save patterns (maybe not the whole song in .wav), but it's got a 30day limit or something.

Which version do you have, 7.0 or 6.7?

__________________

It's version 6.7, and as far as i know it's the full version.

Tsah man.

I told you so:

I can't get any fucking sound in that program... sequbeat

Check your emails exodus

Check yours

i've got the crack, so now do i just drag it into the sequbeat installer, are do i uzip it and then drag it in, or do neither?

And by the way, it still wont let me save my loops, perhaps it's just with it being a trial version, do you think the crack will fix it?

I just read this thread...haha, and I am totally fucking lost. From what I can gather, a crack seems to be something that "cracks" a trial program to make not a trial? Soooo, I'm supposed to download the free trial, and then crack it? Is there a site that has all the cracks?
oh, and Fruity Loops is a gay program cause I can't figure it out.

__________________

Sigh.. Alright I will explain.

@PRINCE CHARMING:

Just unzip the fucking crack. Put the .exe (actual crack) into your main folder of Sequbeat. Then execute it.

After that, start Sequbeat, and when it asks a number (to register), just fill in a random one. Normally, it will never ask the question again thanks to the crack.

Let me know if it works.

@POWERSOFTERROR

Yes a crack usually removes a time/use of program limit. Try Google or Kazaa you can find a lot of cracks for software & games.

__________________

Just suggested the one i'm fine with.......but it doesn't seem so gay with all the drum samples you've got there, but i don't think everything that one cannot figure out turns out to be gayish! Anyway best of luck with the one EXOdus suggested.....well i'm gonna try it for myself...

Ok exodus,
i've unziped the file
gone into the unziped file where the crack is
taken the crack and then i drag it into the segubeat file,

which is an application file according to the properties file, and it installs the program again.

And then there's no fucking difference... any idea where i'm going wrong?

Wow dude... your computer is weird

What do you mean with "into the Sequbeat file"? You mean into the folder right?

This is copied from the additional file (in the crack zip):

.iNSTALL nOTES.
Apply patch,start program and push yes when asked for registering.
Than enter any number as key and the program will never ask this shitty question.

You see... I have no idea what went wrong...

Perhaps you should delete everything & try again?

Sorry man, I can't help you from here. I hope you get it working!

__________________

segubeat doesn't exactly apear as a file, it's icon is a computer with a box on the left and a floppy disk on the right, any clues?

O my god dude... That file is a .exe right?

INSTALL IT! LOL!

First install Sequbeat. You will then have a whole folder of it (under Program files I guess). And in that folder you should put the crack and execute it.

__________________

Oh shit, i've just gone and deleted the fucking thing LoL
I'll go and download it again... one more question though, what do you mean by "execute it"?

LoL It's working!!!!!!!!!! I can save my loops now!!!
Thanks for your help man

Lol alright... (execute is doubleclick a .exe file )

Hey when you made a song (with guitars and stuff?) let me hear it

If you think the basic sounds suck or you want to expand your kit, send me an email. I will mail you some badass wave files.

__________________

It was a magical moment when it happened, it said patch had installed and then i started the program up and the save icon was blank and then went into coloure and Yeah i'll let you hear one when i make it, have you got any waves you've made that you could send me for an example of how it works?

What do you want to hear or see?

Just a sound file of one or another song I made so you can hear how great Sequbeat is?

I can't send you my patterns because you would need exactly the same drumkit as I have to play them.

__________________

it would be pretty cool to hear a wave file (a song), if you want to send me one that is, i'm not that great a guitar player myself so i wouldn't take the piss if it wasn't up to paul gilbert, eddie van halen standards LoL

Alright man... I suck at guitar as well so.

I'll place the link here... I'll keep the song online for some time.

If the bassguitar/guitar would sound really shitty, just turn your bass up (that means less deep)(on your player/speaker EQ). But the quality should be decent enough.

As you can guess, this song is entirely made with Sequbeat (the drums at least, lol).

http://users.skynet.be/fa020387/rz/...Blinde_Haat.mp3

Let me know what you think of the drumsound/drumquality/drumrhythms.
I don't want to hear about the rest.

Oh yeah I accidentally took out the song with the most boring guitarriffs but whatever.

__________________

Wow, i thought the whole song was pretty good, i think you should try sticking some pinch hormonics and a veiw licks in between the riffs though, just to make it sound more dramatic.
the vocals i liked to, but maybe it would sound better if you worked on them, make them more powerful.
And the drums were fucking class, i'll have to take you up on sending me the drum samples through Email.

thanks for the (honest) comment.

vocals & bassguitar are done by a friend. I can't sing.

Yeah in some other songs there's a little pinch harmonics and more variation.

Send me another mail (search above) I don't have yours anymore.
I'll send you the stuff spread over four mails (four zip files).

__________________

Will do, be a few moments

Did you get the email, boltblue is fucking unpredictable

Cool song!

I would have channeled the guitar left and right, but thats just me.

YOu should send me the drum beats too. I'll post them when im done playing around with em too. Let me know, and ill give you my email or whatever.

__________________

@Prince Charming: sure check your mail

@Guitarenvy

thanks man... I think I did channel guitar left & right, no? Anyway it's only one line so it doens't make much difference. In my other (better) band I put one guitar left and the other right so

Oh yeah I'll send you the drum samples too. Just mail me exodus666_be@hotmail.com and I'll get back to you.

What equipment did you use in that song by the way, and what pickups do you use?

no prob

goddamn man.. are you seriously you want to know? Don't tell me that's a good production dammit It's done by me, it's supposed to suck.

Anyway, my equipment used:

guitar: Jackson Kelly with shitty Duncan pickups (but I like them )
into
Boss GT6
into
Computer (Cool Edit Pro for recording & mixing).

Bass: unknown brand, shitty and old (wasn't me playing).
Plugged directly into computer.

vocals: Shure SM85 (or 58?). Anyway a good fucking mic, also directly into computer.

Drums: sequbeat.

If you like me to, I can post some other stuff as well (something blackmetal or so)

EDIT: the guitarsound is not as tight as I want it to be, but that's because the GT6's regular sound turns into shit when you plug it in. So you need to find something adequate and it's hard to get anything pretty good.

Also it's not very brutal on the deep/palm muted chords but that's because I play in E.

Thanks for the drums zips

I thought the pickups sounded pretty good, i've just got an emg 81/85 put in my jacksons warrior (i highly recommend them if you plan on getting new picks).

And yeah, post some more of you stuff, i look forward to hearing it

im looking for an upper end drum machine to record death metal music with. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
