In depth
A closer look at Garage Drummer
If you enjoy playing Rock Band, Guitar Hero or similar video games and are also into mixing and creating unique SoundCloud and tracks, then there is a chance that you might fancy the idea of combining your hobbies. Garage Drummer is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to use the gamepads you commonly use for playing the drums in specialized games as a MIDI controller to manage the drums in your favorite DAW. It is important to note that the program includes two components and that you need to have them both installed on your system in order to access the app. Therefore, upon setup, the app requires you install the Virtual MIDI driver that allows you to access the MIDI inputs and the Garage Drummer VSTi that enables you to select the gamepad you want to use as a controller.
