What a 'drum program' could and should be...

I always start out a new tune with a drum loop...drums can be very inspiring to the creation process, but stringing loops together is tedious and nothing I've found so far makes it easier, so it's pretty much a long , drawn out manual process to get drums to sound natural, short of hiring a player...One area though, that I figured always could help the process, is if someone would record a kit/clips with the END result sound being EXACTLY what you would hear on a commercial recording..no need for eq, no need for compression, no need for anything, they're set. And sound precisely like you'd hear on the commercial CD recording...not only would this be a huge time saver, it would lend itself tremendously to the song creation process when the drums sound soooo good as your writing the tune. Now of course, a certain faction of semi-pro to pro users would totally scoff at this idea, they want raw sounds to tweak as they see fit, and that's fine, this idea isn't for them. But for those of us looking to get the framework of a tune done up as painlessly as possible and allow us to focus on our primary instrument, this would be a great thing I think....while I'm thinking of this, the idea of full track tunes, rather than 1 bar clips would be very cool, but have it MIDI OR audio, and have it broken into measures...so you can basically pull this fill and move it over there, etc,etc,etc. The stuff that comes with SONAR is an OK starting point, but is woefully inadequate for a full tune...what I'm thinking, would BE a full tune already, you just have the options of moving measures about as you like to fit your song ideas. And have a very large library of drum songs to work with too.

I don't know what could be much easier than Groove Clips. You can select one Groove and drag it out for the length of the song, then once you have the song figured out, go back and add some fills and breaks and voila!
