Hi guys!

Need a little advice here - Im looking at some drum software, and the stuff that seems most popular is Reaper and Superior Drummer 2. I realise that SD comes with pre-made bars (phrases or grooves i think they call them?? Any difference?) Once i get these loops in to Reaper, can i tweak them note for note? Can i build my own drum tracks completely from scratch? As in a two kicks there, a snare there, drag it a long a bit, etc.?

Can i get other instruments for Reaper, such as strings, basses, synths etc.? I would like to make some backing tracks.

Also, what is the best way to get my amp connected to my sound card (an Asus Xonar D2) ? Some say the end of the effects loop to the line in on the sound card? My amp (Blackstar HT20) has an Emulated Output, which i *think* is a line out. Do i need any additional hardware between the amp and computer? A mic in front of the speaker isnt gonna work due to volume.

Any advice on this would be really helpful as iv never done this before! smile.gif

Thanks for your help, its appreciated.
