<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Baskerville size=2>HI ,fellow cubase-user 
here. 
Lots of good ideas already offered&nbsp; and the only thing I can add 
is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Baskerville size=2></FONT><FONT 
face=Baskerville 
size=2>about quantization. If have found that a few things 
help:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baskerville size=2>-try moving the individual hits 
separately. 
For instance , try moving the snare and kick to it`s &quot;quantized&quot; 
place 
and leave the rest as it is. It might be enough if the hi-hats(or whatever 
is 
left)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baskerville size=2>have a cool 
&quot;swing&quot;.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baskerville size=2>- check out the match quantize option 
if you 
have ,say , a swingin`&nbsp; bassline going.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Baskerville size=2>-play the different 
drumsounds 
on separate tracks. If you use kick , snare and ride try spreading them on 
three 
separate tracks(all with channel 10 if you use GM modules).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Baskerville size=2>This can help you keep 
your 
beats from getting too chaotic , and make you more aware of what`s goin 
on. The 
average drummer has only&nbsp; four limbs and can only make 4 sounds 
simultaniously. Keeping that in mind has helped me a lot. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Baskerville size=2></FONT><FONT 
face=Baskerville 
size=2>- learn to play drums , even on a basic level. This has helped me 
TREMENDOUSLY. I can`t hold a groove together for long periods of time , 
but I 
have gotten a feel for how an average</FONT><FONT face=Baskerville size=2> 
drummer&nbsp; can think and what can be done. Knowing where the arms and 
legs go 
in a groove is very helpful , even if I can`t perform it in 
real-time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baskerville size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baskerville size=2>Anyways , hope this helps.</FONT></DIV>
