Midi doesn't have to be those nasty standard Microsoft midi instruments--midi can trigger samples or just about anything, you just need the right program. If you want to know more info about that route, let me know. EDIT: The drums on 95% of my songs are basically midi-triggered, as far as the way they were entered into the program. They could just as easily have been triggered with a set of midi drum pads. I know nothing about MIDI. Can I somehow hook it up into reason and play it? (How does it record into pro tools?) Thanks.

You could hook up those drums to your computer through the midi cable you had a link to in the previous post and enter things into reason with the drum pads. Yes.

Thanks Kizzume. That helps. But I am confused with how I could get this into pro tools, since reason doesn't record anything (I don't think)......

Actually, it does record. Just as you can record regular midi keyboard inputs to make a song. That is if you want to use software drums. You could also use Renoise using vst instruments, supposedly there's a way to do it with vst instruments in Audacity as well, it can be done in Cubase, but I don't know about protools--I think there may be a way, but I've never researched it before or tried it, since I do all of that stuff with Renoise.
If you just want to record the sound of the output of the drums and mix them into the song, that can be done with any of the audio recording programs, it can even be done with Microsoft Sound Recorder--you just have to set the time to record for longer.

Ooooh. I am excited for Christmas. Just finished the last song for my "CD" today. It needs some touching up, but I am very proud of it nonetheless. I am excited to add a new dynamic to my music. (And then some time next year get a better guitar-- mine is seriously falling apart, and very hard to make sound good ;p)
