Okay, at the moment my set up for drum programming is working like this:
Crappy drum sequencer -> midi -> Sonar -> Drumagog
Out of the sequencer I get plain, precise midi files, so I'm playing around with randomizing things a bit - which I haven't done before.
So my first question is what do you randomize and how much? The quantize tool in Sonar lets you randomize the actual hits, but it doesn't seem to make any difference at one value, then putting it up a couple makes everything a complete free-Jazz mess. And hou much do you alter the velocities?
My other question is this - if I'm running Drumagog on them anyway, do I even need to randomize the midi tracks? Because obviously by it's very nature Drumagog introduces velocity and timing differences to each hit.
I'm not worried about them sounding really natural - I just don't want them to seem really programmed, if you see what I mean.
Any help is greatly appreciated!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
