Re: drum machine vs software drums
true, i will need a sampler. but with this software i'm not limited in my choices. if i used the boss dr 880 i would be "stuck" with the default sounds. i'm sure its loaded with a lot of neato drum samples, but what made me even heavily consider the dr 880 is the ability to separate high hat, kick, snare grooves and reconstruct them into something i could use.
whatever option i choose i was never worried about sound. there is LOTS of good free and retail drum samplers (VSTs) out there. i would even consider using my own samples. ezdrummer, addictive drums, BFD, and others all sound amazing, but my weakness is groove, fills, and arrangement (what i refer to as "work flow").
this looks like a good groove enabler type of program. and for $40, cant go wrong with trying it as opposed to $500. as opposed to a "go fish" approach with 1000's of midi's, ezplayer pro looks like it can help me navigate, split, arrange and more.
