Hi!



My name is micheal, i'm from Holland and i'm new to this forum. I just recently started producing hard techno and i'm trying to sort a few things out. First off; when u guys program your drums/percussion do you program them on a grid and when u do, do u use the shuffle function? Or do you place all the notes/hits by hand using a very small or no grid at all?? Do you guys use reverb on drums/percussion?? How far from each other do u pan the percussion, or dont u pan them at all? Do u guys place the note between the kicks (for example: open hat) exactly between the kick, or do u shift it a bit later or earlier?

I know I should just listen to what sounds best.. but I was just curious about how you guys deal with these things..

Thanks!
