Tone Load function on BR900/600/1600 vs. 800 :)

I bought a bunch of commercial samples so I probably shouldn't share them, being sensitive about copyright (especially on this site!).

I hear you, and agree!!

It do raise some interesting issues tho. If we where to do a collab, you providing only the drums and me doing the rest, I guess that would be legal. But would you then have to do the final mix? I guess yes, tho it's quite absurd as the result would be the same as if you sendt me the ARRANGE file and the DRUMKIT file. I guess that's why we have lawyers

That would be fine. The main issue with copyright infringements as I understand it is loss of earnings. If I gave you drum samples to use which I had paid for and you had not (through .BRO files), that would mean the owner of the copyright was losing money. But if we collaborated on a track on which I was providing the drums, it wouldn't matter who did the final mix as the owner of the copyright would not be losing money, as I was using drum samples that I had paid for in the track.

That's my view anyway!

BTW, after listening to my track, I have to admit that some of the cymbal samples do sound a little bit "cut off" where I edited the long tail offthem to get them in the 13 secs limitation. It's not bad but is noticeable if you listen for it.

Cheers,

My solution to this limitation was to purchase a DR-880 Drum Machine.
No limitations, other than the end user's ability to program it. Also can do bass tracks.

Of course, the $400.00 price tag may put some folks off, but in my opinion it is worth it.

+1. The DR880 takes a good bit of time to learn but sounds great and is very flexible.
There are several ways to make up a track.
Have you tried using the USB as a MIDI to a DAW yet? I have to give that a try.
I've just been plugging it directly into the BR800 and then transferring to the DAW thru the BR Wave Converter.

I generate a drum track and record it direct into the eBand.
Then I save the WAV file out to a flash drive and transfer it to the computer for editing and synching.
Also insures I always have an unaltered backup of the track.

I installed a 16 gigabyte SD card in the eBand, so it can store about six thousand files.
When it fills up I remove it and install a new one. Good backup.

I have Midi gear but haven't used it in the recording setup yet.

There are two MAJOR limitations for me.

1. No Toneload function - you can't import your own drum kit.
2. No Pattern Play - there is no global tempo option.....

(I have a DR-880 for sale... CHEAP!....:-)

Hey Chuck
 I assume you are talking about the BR800's limits because you can do these with the DR880. (Imports SMF 1)
Which makes me wonder why you would sell it?

[Speed Demon]

I was wondering about that as well.

I get what I want from mine, and it never calls in sick.

I'm sure you will find a buyer.
