I recently purchased EZD and DFH. I was told by friends that EZD and DFH are incredible programs and very user friendly. I hear the way Meshuggah, Devin Townsend and a couple of other musicians have utilized DFH and I’m impressed to say the least. I’ve been using Reason 4 as my drum machine/programmer for years now and I needed something that sounded a lot less sterile.
DFH sounds great. It’s really impressive, I just have no idea how to fully utilize it. I was under the impression you could program your own beats using only EZD and DFH. I can’t. I’ve been hearing a lot about Reaper, I just have no clue how I would be able to make my own drum beats using DFH and Reaper. All I want, is to be able to create my own drum beats and put them to my guitar tracks. How can I acheive this? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I use Reason 4 only because I can actually create my own drum beats. I’ve gotten the best sound I could possibly acheive with it. I write and record metal. The best sound I can get with Reason 4 is the most triggered, sterile and flat sound drums could possibly make. It sounds alright. I’ts “good enough”, but I’m sick of “good enough.” I want the best sound I could get. I hear DFH is the best so I purchased it. I see it’s potential, I just need some help reaching that potential.
Would Reaper be a decent program for me to use with DFH? If not, what program is, and how can I create my own drum tracks hit for hit with DFH? What program will allow me to do this? Again, any information would be incredibly appreciated. You can check out some songs I’ve finished using Reason 4 on my myspace.
