and no man theres no link for a trial. its called torrents!


Yeah, I guess it kinda depends on how intricate you want your drum tracks to be. I usually start off with a drum machine for the demo, but by the time I'm finished I'll have spent weeks adding little subtle things to make the drums more interesting.

Kinda like this...I start off with an LM4 Drum Machine, then add live hats, then put the hats through a processor, then just start combining loops and stuff.
When the songs finished, I've got drum rolls, live hats, live rides, drum machines and about 5 loops running at once.

By the time I'm finished there's usually about 20 tracks just for drums.
