Manual input:

I am trying to replicate a drum beat, or rather one specific fill that's super simple for a song. It is literally just a sixteenth note snare fill.

I tried a roll, but obviously that's too much.

I wish there was a way to insert this fill without doing it manually. It sounds too machine gunny and I'm not so familiar with doing manual entry.

here is the song:

here are my other settings, I will also attach the song file, but I want to be able to do this myself, so I know it might take more time but instruction would be great. Also a part of the manual to look at. Manuals are good and needed, conversation helps me the most tho

Hey Jae,

Which fill are you referring to in the video?

[Jae.Thomas]

oh god I don't believe I didn't give a timestamp.

22 seconds in - the weird thing is the guy is just saying it is literally just sixteenth notes on the snare lol

Hi Jae,
Check your gmail.

[Jae.Thomas]

first off, you're a godsend. I wish I could do something in return.

hey there, I rendered out a few things:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6x4yvdtemo8z4jb/AACupKhSP1nEN5xMuA3pFmSOa?dl=0

so, I am going to try and understand what is going on here, because I really want to learn this the best I can, but seem to do it as I go.

So first off, I see that a j2d file can be a file OR a song. The way to import this is to add it to your fills folder, you can also add a new folder. No drag and drop?

Anyway, I find that fills folder to be AWESOME!

ok so next up, I loaded your fill, and here's what I see:

the first 3 hits have a "+48" thing on it, which seems to be a VERY slight delay. a 48th of a beat? and then you can alter the timing further with the MS knob.

the fourth snare hit is a single hit, delayed by 5ms

now the hit on the 3e is a "bounced" hit. Is this the kind where if you put a bunch in a row you would get a roll?

the timing is not altered, the next one (3and), also bounced, is delayed 4ms. not sure why this one is altered in some way. A feel thing?

the 3a(uh) is a double hit, and it seems to be high power and only delayed by 1ms. now, I can't really hear what this double does.

it seems when I roll over hits, it doesn't play them as double or bounce, but as the regular snare hit.

the rest of it might have different delays, etc...

so basically, am I accurate in my description here?

how do you decide what to alter? I got rid of the delay of the first 3 hits, I listened to the video and it was spot on, but imo, it doesn't sound great, so I figure instead of perfectly replicating the drummer, I'd make it "better" but what do you think?

thank you so much, I always learn a lot. Also, the songs we worked on are not in vain. More is happening and more tunes are getting done! Blade is coming up!

dude, thank you so much. I have been using jamstix forever and I keep learning more and more thanks to you and folks like you

[Azimuth]

No problem Jae. I really enjoy helping where I can.
