Acid Machine Beta. Craft the perfect kick drum with a few simple tips. Untitled. Music Courses, Online Music Production Training, Music Software Lessons, Real Instruments, Recording. A guide to drum programming. In this feature we'll be looking at some tips to help you build and enhance the drum patterns you're programming for your tracks. It goes without saying that beats are at the heart of any dance music track.

In fact, the patterns you program and the sounds you use tell a listener as much about the musical style they're hearing as any other sound. In this feature we'll be looking at some tips to help you build and enhance the drum patterns you're programming for your tracks. We won't be focusing on tricks common to one genre, but will instead explore a range of things to try by building a basic pattern and slowly introducing more involved techniques. Most should prove useful, regardless of your musical preferences. Let's start with a simple pattern at 120 BPM. Basic beats: Here's an extremely basic pattern for a Battery 3 kit, featuring kick (on C1), snare (on D1) and hi-hats (on F#1).

There are simpler, more minimal interfaces, and more tangible interfaces for Ableton Live. But when it comes to all-stops-pulled, touch-everything control of the full depth of Ableton Live, it was already hard to beat TouchAble for iPad. Now, with an update, that app closes even more of the gap between what you can do on the iPad and what you can do through the standard Live UI. The standard computer model – mouse, keyboard, display – places some distance between you and a graphical user interface (even if that mouse is quite precise). The advantage of something like an iPad is, you can touch that interface directly. But, as a middle ground, TouchAble is impressive.
