Nice Track! I'd like to hear it better though, since camera mics suck. If you record the audio separately, then you can substitute it in the video for the mic recording without too much trouble. That makes all the difference in the world for the audio quality.

That's much better audio quality than the first attempt. It's definitely worth the trouble to record separately and splice it into the video. You get the full audio quality of the gear, eliminate all the ambient noise, retain all the stereo FX, and maintain the full dynamic range of the music. Most of the videos for the KPro don't convey the true audio quality that it produces, so your sample stands well above the crowd in that important respect. Good job!

I think you'll find that the drum patterns on the KPro have much more impact than the drum kit and drum machine that you're using. The KPro has better bass and dynamic range on the drums. That will give more punch to the rhythm element.

the drum part does come from the kpro...the beatboz just added a few sounds here and there....i find they compliment each other very well since the beatbox has like 900 sounds in it to add to the beats of the kpro...and actually, the bass output from that beatbox is well above that of the kpro...i just have it lower in the mix when i do use it.

It looked like you created the drum loop using a midi keyboard that's out of view. Something's wrong with the drum sound that you used, because it's lacking bass/sub and dynamic range. It sounds really thin on my end. The KPro patch you played on the pad sounded fine, so something is missing from the drums however they got looped.
