Hi, Richard,

No, the Session Drummer patterns are based on excellent audio samples of
well recorded acoustic drums.  They sound great!  Note to customers in U.S.
and Canada: Dancing Dots is matching Cakewalk's current offer to discount
upgrades to current versions of SONAR by $50.  So if you've been thinking of
upgrading to SONAR 6 Producer in order to get the Session Drummer feature,
now is an excellent time to do so.  Customers from other countries should
check with their national Cakewalk distributors to see if they are having a
similar promotion.

Bill

Hi Gord

I guess the patterns in the drummer session
are based on gm midi kits?

Hello:
Well, the truth is that when you come right down to it, if you want a
really natural sounding feel, you shouldn't quantize it at all.
Unfortunately, none of us (or I should say most of us), are not going to
play a drum part tight enough especially when using a midi keyboard.  If
you have your drum parts separated, e.g. the kick on a track by itself,
you might want to try just quantizing the kick, and maybe the hi hat, then

leave the snare and toms unquantized so that you can have flams and drags
if you want.  Now, all this being said, this is where session drummer
comes in. Many of the included patterns are recorded purposely with a
loose unquantized feel to make them sound like a real drummer.

if you are using the right note resolution for quantizing and you still
don't like the result you can edit the notes in the event view. just
divide the ticks between the number of notes, if you want a 8th note
divide in 2, for sixteenth to 4 and for eight triplets by 3 and so on

Hola,

Anyone have any good tips on quantizing beats after they are programmed
using Sonar/soft synts?

I've red over the tutorial stuff on it but still can't quite get the
patterns to line up and swing quite right.  Somehow even after tweaking
the quantize peramiters, even simple little kick, snare ride combos have

been coming out robotic.  I mean I've got nothing against the robots but

when they start to take over I need to turn to someone for help. (smile)

Also, if anyone has been using the "groove quantize " feature, I'd be
curious to know how it works.

Thanks a million!
