Thanks a lot Dom, Groove Agent is a real amazing VST drums instrument.

It would be great to have studio tour - what are all the equipment on your desk.

[piktormusic]

Great. Thanks Dom. I have always used the media browser and dragged samples in. Your way seems to be more efficient.

Cubase´s Groove Agent ist such a great tool! I use it for drum sounddesign too...

[WilliamMorrisMusic]

I really need to start using more of the built in plugins. The workflow looks great here especially if it can integrate with 3rd party samples.

[oltech]

Wow! What an eye opener. I really need to learn more about Groove Agent. Thanks Dom.

When I was just a beginner I found that “stacking” a couple different Groove Agent rhythms would get me close. I particularly like the Circus Sanity patterns as a base, because they are simple, and then add a second GA track with a different rhythm. Maybe something with mostly just percussion to fill in the blanks and accents. It’s not perfect, but it can create some amazingly satisfying, surprising patterns.

Great tips! Can you stack samples so that different velocities trigger different samples?
