"Say you want to get a more realistic sound in your percussion with your, in your songs. A, you don't have access to a drummer or even if you did you don't have the recording capability to actually make a real drum, real sounding drums. A, really quick solution to this is to go find a real drum, drum loop to put in the program. I'm going to use the A-man break again as the, as an example for this. Now if you, if you think about it and you listen to it that was actually a recorded as some point but it somehow found its way here and that, and every drum and base vinyl ever made. And a, you can find other stuff like that just Goggling around, like I have a whole section of breaks. A lot of them, a lot of them have electronic elements but most of them are, were once recorded and they're actually usable. So you can put those into your song here and then you can just use that as your, use that as the a percussion or you can actually take each individual sample and make your own beats using the, the first samples. And just get a hat and a snare and a kick and you could write your own loops or you could just use the basic loop if you feel like doing that."
