Any Ideas For The Best Bass And Drum Plug Ins? Options

[thegrapeguy]

Two of the sounds I have not enough of are bass and drums. I prefer natural sounding drums and drum loops like those in the Apple Loop browser. Unfortunately there is not enough to pick from. There are many techno/digital sounding drums and basses but the natural kits and loops are what I like.

As far as basses go, same thing, I like natural electric and acoustic and fretless basses. I have Jam Packs "Rhythm Section" but there simply is not enough choices of real bass and drums.

Any ideas on the best plug ins for bass and drums?

Reason has wicked (Great) sounds in Bass and Drum. Can't go wrong with Reason. However, expect to hear the sounds you use in other songs... No matter how you "Tweak", "Users Of Reason" will recognize the sounds, unless you have spent hours searching and altering sounds to convince others, you "Created" it. Often easier to just make something "Original" it will probably take less time than searching, auditioning, playing back, blah-blah. Basically. A Snare Drum, Bass Note, takes a nano second.

If one takes as much time searching for free music (i.e., Samples, Loops and Thangs, etc.) One can probably create anything that is out there. Especially when dealing with MIDI. I learned a "New" word... (I'm the last one to find out) but has anyone heard the word: MIDIOT?. I heard/saw it somewhere. It is a positive word, not a 'Put Down'. I would love to be a MIDIOT especially with the Tens Gigs of MIDI Software consuming my Hard Drive. Deaconblue... You're a MIDIOT... I learned how to use MIDI during one of your explanations in the Forum.

Reason is one of the best MIDI Programs out there... That's what I was told from the Whizz Kids at Amptown, in Hamburg, Germany. These dudes create Hit Songs demonstrating it for potential buyers.! When I heard their Drum Refills... Nasty, (Excellent). You can't go wrong with Reason...
