Hello Brian:
Are you a keyboard player? You may want to take your various wav files and
create a sampled drum kit from them, using the sfz sample format. The sfz
format is a text based format, so it is ideal for a blind person with a
reasonable amount of computer savvy. You can get the free sfz player and
the docuentation for the sfz sample format from www.rgcaudio.com ONce you
have your sampled instrument together, you'll be able to play it on your
midi keyboard.

Subject: [ddots-l] creating solid loops
Hello:** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
I am currently in the process of trying to make some solid drum loops. Now I've tried to do so in sonar 2.2 using the "loop construction view" but it doesn't really seem to work. I've downloaded various snares, kicks, hihats, etc. in wav files from the internet. Basically what I want to do is make loops where each kick is on half notes, each snare on quarters, hihat on eighths, etc. I'm working on a hiphop project with friends and I'd like to be able to create my own drum loops for them. Currently, I am not able to do them so I have to depend on a friend to make them (using fruity loops). Now I've also tried fruity loops myself and it doesn't work at all with Jaws. That's why I thought I may be able to achieve what I want to in sonar, but it also does not seem to work there either. Perhaps there is an easy way to do this in sonar? If not, it would be greatly appreciated if people could recommend any other blind-friendly programs that will allow me to achieve what I'm trying to do. This is very frustrating as it is sooooo easy for sighted individuals to just throw drum loops together in fruity loops and I would really like to be able to do the same.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
