I love the heart beat like quality to it.
I've tried so many things to achieve this with no success. Searching through samples, sampling kicks on records, layering ...

Cool! Thanks! Good place to start!

I love the organic kick drums in Sigur Ros' music.
Does anyone know where I can get samples similar to this sound???

It definitely makes the drums more realistic sounding.
Try getting a hold of the Drum Kits from Hell Sample pack. They are sampled at various velocities, and you can experiment.

Hello everybody,

I thought I'd try to start my first DIY project with an old PCR-50 keyboard. I want to change it into a foot pedal and so I'm trying to figure out what might be the best way to change the keys into pedals. Are there any sites that sell good parts for this sort of thing? Any help ...

If you just want to record one input (your GTR), try the M-Audio Jam Lab.

Basically what you need is an audio interface with a "hi-z" input. Most normal sized interfaces have this.

Here are a list of interfaces:

I have always had this issue but Live 8's GUI is worse the version 7. Whenever I open a Midi Clip or Wav clip and watch the playback, the current time bar seems to struggle and is choppy. It's especially choppy if I move my mouse around. It seems to also be worse with longer clips. Does anyone else ...
