Gday!
Been a while since i checked back in. nice new platform!
So.... i need drum loops! I am a Guitarist with some grooves + Riffs that simply need great beats to compliment. A while back, i purchased EZ drummer 2. I find it limiting in finding the sample i require, or something i can work with. The loop packages in Logic are great sounding, but restricting in associating beats. ie. verse & chorus.
I am capable of making a midi beat, however to speed production up i think i just need a good library of beats that i can also manipulate, to get the sound right
Funk, Blues, Reggae, even a bit of alt. country might be handy.
Do i:
a) Buy Superior drummer (which will exceed my capabilities/ time & depth of knowledge). which i hope has a large library of beats to cater my needs. maybe theres an alternative you can recommend.
b) Buy a toontracks Loops package or recommended alternative & use it in existing EZ drummer 2 package.
Are these my best options for a vast array of great sounding loops?
Am i wasting my time with EZ drummer 2, if it already frustrates me not being able to find a beat i can work with?
Is EZ2 just a limiting with sound options as it is finding good loops?
Any advice would be appreciatted
