new to ableton and I've figured out how to use drum racks and last night discovered the impulse drum machine. i go to "Library"-samples-waveforms and then it has several drum .aif files that i can load onto the 8 drum machine pads. the tutorial i watched on setting up impulse and the drum machine the guy had tons and tons of drums and reccomened not using the ones that come in the ableton library unless just starting off.
my question is how can I expand the files i can load into impulse and where do you guys get them from? Do you make them from other samples? Like taking a one bar drum loop and setting the loop to just the kick then cropping and saving? is this an easy way of doing it or is there something simpler.
i wouldnt have a problem paying 20 or 30 bucks to download a decent drum sample pack but i dont know where to look, theres so many sample pack websites out there loopmasters, looperman, etc.. but i want to make sure im getting the right file and with good quality.
I also have maschine and was wondering if its possible to import my 6gb machine library into ableton to use for impulse as well as drum racks , which im sure is possible but i havent tried yet, might just stick with machine for drums since i know the workflow and its simple then import to ableton and manipulate from there. Any suggestions?
Also whats the benefit of using Impulse as opposed to a Drum rack?
