Mastering Virtual Drums for the Live Beat Maker
Every music creator, regardless of his or her type or size, feels the urge to impress a screaming audience and become not only a music creator, but a creator of amazing concerts as well. A showman or show woman, if you will. But if you’re more of a beat maker than a music creator per se, chances are that you write music on software instruments like virtual drums.
The problem with writing music on virtual drums is that it doesn’t translate into live performance the same way more traditional music creators can warp their craft for such. So what is a beat maker, a different animal than a pure music creator, to do?
Become a beat maker on virtual drums that make live performance easy as possible, of course! Most virtual drum sequencers used by beat makers require the navigation of a laptop while on stage, or the mental ability to use piano keys as drum pads.
Virtual drum studios like Beat Thang (this tool does a whole lot more than just drums, but more on that later) has a user interface with pads that can be converted for any noise, and will make more visual sense to beat makers using it for virtual drums than the interfaces mentioned above.
To get a little more specific, let’s take a look at exactly the things Beat Thang allows music creators to do on stage, virtual drums or not. Aside from the familiarity of the above mentioned key pad, Beat Thang most impressively offers real-time looping with virtually no load time. This means that beat makers and other music creators can make loops on the fly during a live set.
There will be no load time delay, which is especially important if you’re looping virtual drums. As any beat maker knows, even the slightest mishap in a drum loop and the whole thing sounds off.
Beat Thang’s features were designed by professional musicians for all levels of musician, so it’s no surprise that they came up with this next feature for beat makers: the ability to design your own effects (reverb, delay, chop & screw parameters, etc.) and program them in pre-sets to use when performing live.
Any music creator or beat maker knows how great in can be to have a sound you designed in your back pocket to use when just the time is right during your set. If you tweaked every individual virtual drum kit sound, you could potentially create a set the likes of which have never been heard before,

In case u missed yesterday’s statement regarding MY DAUGHTER Madison: Let’s get things clear 4 EVERYONE. She is my daughter ! I am her FATHER ! Doesn’t matter if I am biologically her father or if I adopted her or if a father figure was absent in her life the last 9 years of it or not. What matters is from the moment I laid eyes on her I knew that WE BOTH we’re put into each other’s lives for a reason. Her birth father, whomever he is, might have been absent from her life since her birth but that’s not mine nor ur business so I’ll respect him in that aspect & simply state that a void needed to be filled in her life & after already falling in love with her for the months prior to me accepting the role of her FATHER, I had several conversations with her mother (who has a great job & works very hard for all of her children & doesn’t NEED or hasn’t asked me for a thing) we agreed that I would take the place as Madison’s FATHER for the simple fact that I was willing, capable & emotionally, physically & financially available to be there for her. I have taken the role of FATHER very seriously with my 3 already prior to adding Madison to MY FAMILY so 1 more is nothing more than an easy task & I’m just as excited to have her as she is to have me ! She is not the daughter of 1 of my friends that died as the internet suggested, nor is her mother struggling or in need of any help raising her children. The thing is, there was a beautiful little girl who was in need of a father & who more perfect than ME ? So with that being said, Madison is MY DAUGHTER & I AM HER FATHER ! NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE THAT ! I will be here for her, @littlemisscali @kingjusticetaylor & @harlemtaylor long as I breathe & MY 4 CHILDREN will never have to worry about ANYTHING !!!! & for those haters I see in my & her comments, worry bout your OWN kids ! Shit 1/2 y’all need to be worried bout trying to get ya own dead beat as baby daddy’s to step up & be 1 tenth of the father I am to my kids. One thing is fasho, your opinion is NOT going to change the fact that I will be @daddyslilworld’s FATHER FOREVER ! That’s my baby girl, get used to seeing her. Sincerely, her FATHER !
