I guess this could be a question for this forum... Do you prefer to rely on samples to make your drums and basslines, or do you sometimes use drum machines and keyboards? A marriage of the two, maybe?
Sort of like the old Marley Marl style where he would loop a break, but enhance it with an 808, kick, high hat, and/or snare from a drum machine...? Or, instead of filtering a sample to just its bassline, you might use a keyboard like the Novation Bass Station to get a deep bassline?
I know that it probably all depends on what you want you music to sound like, but sometimes I wonder...
Do you use drum machines/keyboards to "enhance" certain parts of your drums/music, and if so, what do you use? What would you suggest?
