Do you just loop a bar. use the keyboard to do hihats, snares, and kicks on
different channels then quantize each channel they way you want??
Or do you use a totally different program. Is there a good midi drum program
out there. Something like the drumz wizard??

I use fruitloops then export it to a standard midi file.
I find it faster and easier than creating them in cakewalk.

If you use the CAL to split the drums after the fact, then it's easy because you just program all your drums to one track all at one time. As cakewalk loops just add another sound on top never stopping the record button. After you have quantized or whatever then use the CAL to split them and you have a different sound per track in about a second. It's really sweet.

i've always been wary of using the dna groove template things - they seem a bit of an unknown property. but if you reckon they're worth playing with then posting a few would be wicked. and the notesplit cal thing - does that come with cakewalk?

The DNA grooves are quite a good laugh.. You should try this..

When you have fine tuned a rythm (you know when you spend ages with the velocities and dragging notes around without the snap to grid on),

highlight your edited pattern and copy it
highlight the pattern you want to apply your groove to
goto the groove quantise window
If you click on ok straight away the groove in the clipboard will be applied to the new pattern.. Or you can type a name in and save your groove pattern for future reference.
I usually program my grooves with the hi-hats or snares then I'll apply these to the bass and other stuff to see if it works on them.
The cakewalk site has a load of other CAL routines - try the random notes and random velocity routines.

That CAL routine is either DRUMSPLIT or SPLITNOTES. Both will work. I believe SPLIT NOTES came with Cakewalk. Check it out.

So if I wanted to post some DNA grooves, how and where would I post them?
