I'm a lttle curious as to other producers general approach to programming drums. Usually, I just throw all my ideas into a 1 to 4 bar loop and keep the loop playing while I mess around 'till I am happy with the groove. I then break the drum pattern down into it's component tracks (snares, hats, kicks, ect), record them to audio and re-sequence them. I'll then procede to work on each track/sound individually. Once I am happy with a track/sound I move on to the next one. And so on.
I have been working with a couple of other producers who, I have discovered, do exactly the same thing. I was wondering if this is the usual method, or is anyone doing anything different? Any new ideas???
Regards.
Steve.
