HOW DO YOU GUYS GET YOURE DRUMS AND SOUNDS NICE AND TIGHT WITH PERFECT TIMING? i'M ALWAYS OFF ON MY TIMING AND THEREFORE THE BEATS FILL LIKE THERE MISSING SOMETHING. wHAT DO YOU GUYS DO/ iS THERE A SPECIAL WAY OF USING T.C. ON THE MPC? i USE IT BUT i DONT NOTICE MUCH DIFFRENCE. hOW DO YOU PRO'S SET IT UP?

 

[KurtisRich]

I change it up depending on what type of track I'm doing. I usually start off setting my T.C to 1/16 when i do my kick snares hi hats etc. But if I wanna get crazy I set it to 1/32. That's just me. I dont really stick to the same routines all the time though I change it up every now and then

Practice with a one bar loop, and follow the metronome with a tempo somewhere in the 90's. Thats good practice to help get your drums to hit on time

 

[Chrono]

When i first started I layered the drums in, so for a 2 bar loop i would hit the kick once and then again to the metronome; then the snare and then the hihat seperatly. Instead of trying to add the kick an snare at the same time

tc only works if you turn capslock off.
