RE: [xl7] Re: Emu's drum rom vs Stylus?

2003-10-01 by Jonathan El-Bizri

>>>Gotta disagree.  True that I could care less about my own songs 
sounding like a real drummer, but with some careful sequencing, it can 
definitely be done.  As long as you know how a drummer plays, it's not 
impossible to mimic this via sequencer.  Quite a few magazine articles
on 
how to do this, I believe Computer Music has some tutorials on their
site 
for just this in fact. <<<
 
The problem isn't just in the programming - it's also in the dynamics of
the tone, as well as the signal processing - the reverb, group dynamics,
and mic tone.
 
FWIW - Stylus does have individual drum hits - it's not just loops. It
also has all it's loops 'recycled' and as well as rendered out at
different speeds.
 
Personally, I found stylus OK, but it's not my favourite set of samples.
They are nice, funky, and anonymous, with lots of space, which are all
useful things, but I didn't find them as compelling as other stuff in my
collection. Also, the interface is a really poor one for dealing with
drums.
