So, which computer programs are you using, chas?

On the whole, I tend to find computer programs a lot fiddlier than the arranger’s nice simple ‘4 variations and some fills’ when just jamming. I must admit, until the drums get my juices flowing, I find it hard to be soulful while I’m being distracted. I have never been at my best playing to a click.

It’s not for me a case of making it perfect in post, I’d just like that energy up front before I even start to create..! It’s a lot easier to adapt your ‘inside’ pulse to a nice groove than to adapt the loop or drum machine to match how you played in the first place. A real drummer can listen to you and ‘get it’ straight away, but the bloody machines are morons! 😂
