RE: Working with a style

  On the subject of bringing dead sequences to life: expierment. Drum n
bass is- was  expiermental music &  I would encourage you to SAMPLE YOUR
OWN bREAKS. Sorry but I cant express the need for individuality in this
genre enough.Try different sequencers(if possible)Use theIPS in Cubase.It
will no doubt spark some wild ideas.Ive developed a  ridiculos method of
realtime snare rolls using a midi arpeggiator> dont underestiamate what one
of these can do for your sequences.Ive recvorded patterns went back &
quantized or edited wherever needed. If drum n bass is going truly evolve
theres got to be some paradim shifts. Lose the funky drummer loop!Or Apache
etc. Sample your own drum loops from a drummer or old analog tapes you will
build a unique catalog of original sounds this way. BTW down load M or Xx
from U&I labs, Check these out . Very different sequencers.   Take care K
LAW, LOuisville.
