I mainly record folk and rock. I try to get a "live" jam feel when i record. Having really 'tight" drums makes the whole thing feel a little mechanical and weakens the illusion. One of the reasons i love jamstix is the brain improvising fills etc. but I really don't have a good sense of using the feel aspects in the groove.

I usually use Charlie.

So you got:

Pocket
Timing Vary
Power Vary
Snare Vary
Hihat Vary

Then over in the song you can vary timing and shuffle in each part or in the song as a whole. (how do timing in the brain and in the song interact?)

I know you can also do stuff with midi and audio jam but that is beyond me.

I play around with the settings but really don't know what I'm doing. I'm just randomly turning stuff.

So how do you best simulate a "loose' drummer banging away in your garage? Another way to put it is having a simulated Steve Gadd playing on my stuff sounds a little ridiculous. The guys I play with live are not any where near that level of quality and professionalism (and neither am I).

I guess I'm trying to develop your typical local mediocre drummer who is sloppy but groovy and has flashes of brillance after a few beers model. Come on, you know this guy.

Thanks
