Yep,drums,pad and bass would be more than great for decent backing.
You could add some riffing stuff latter on too.  Chord progressions... Ok,here/s major one,in Key of C C,Dm,F G,C,Em,G,G Minor one,key of Em Em,Am,G,D,Bm,C,D,Em Good thing is Help feature in Cubase. I know many try to avoid it, looks boring or som but I hope that's not the case with you. Cheers Eddie

Help is cool,Beatles tune too.
Latency is sort of delay.easy to notice when you're using VSTs or any plug-in on the channel. Let's say you put some efx like chorus on the channel made for recording. And you want to hear chorus while recording,not only after. Then you press Direct Monitoring to actually HEAR sound FROM the channel. And that's when latency comes up. If it's high,you'll have delayed sound from the channel(sound with chorus you added before). P.S.: Direct Monitoring I'm talking about is the one on the audio channel in Cubase.

+1 As Muris says it's more or less the time taken between your playing the note and hearing it.
There is always latency but if it's low enough then we don't notice it. If it gets to big then it can be problematic. Just imagine Eddie trying to play something where you hear what you play but delayed by say 1 second - it will really start to mess up your timing. Low latency is generally seen as the way to go but the lower you go the harder your pc and soundcard have to work. So there is a cut off/threshold at which the 'gain' equals the 'cost' - for me that's about 5msecs (unless I'm playing a keyboard then its about 3 minutes as I try and figure out where middle c is again  ). Some music sequencers now have a feature called delay compensation which helps with perceived latency. Cubase - which Muris mentioned and uses- is one.

You should only hear the delay when you are playing. On playback with effects in place cubase should compensate for the delay and it should be in time.

QUOTE (eddiecat @ Oct 22 2007, 02:28 AM)  Hi Andrew. Yes, I hear it only when I'm playing. Once it's recorded everything is fine. Yep,you'll hear it if Direct Monitoring is ON I'm listening to my real-time playing through monitor out on audio card, that's how I avoid all latency and stuff from Cubase.

Hi Muris!
I finally did my first recording of my improvements. It took me all day! I used the chords in E min you gave me. I hope you "like" it. I couldn't possibly do any better...  Comments are more than welcome, but please don't be too hard on me!!! Ciao, Eddie

Ohh,why should I be hard on you Eddie,this is really fine take!!
Compact phrasing without too many notes,has lots of sense imo. And now I do have a question. Which scale/scales did you use?

QUOTE (eddiecat @ Nov 2 2007, 03:25 AM) Hi Muris, I'm very happy you liked it! I used E min pentatonic, E min blues scale (I used the blue note) and E Aeolian very shortly, in the ascending part. I have a quetion for you now: let's say the chords go E min, A min, G, D. If I start my solo in E min, when the chord switches to Amin can I modulate playing let's say A min pentatonic over my Amin chord? I've tried that, and it didn't sound too bad... Cheers, Eddie Of course you can. Am pentatonic is already in Em scale,same thing with Bm/D pentatonic scale. Try that one over D chord.

QUOTE (eddiecat @ Nov 2 2007, 03:49 AM) That's because B is D's relative minor, right? That's right. And each minor scale contains 3 minor pentatonic scales. In Em those scales are E,A and B. Or G C and D if we take relative major pentatonic scales.

More than good Eddie.
For the second I forgot that this is thread about recording the backing track, which you have done very,very good. As the matter of fact,awesome first attempt.

Hi Muris. I told you i would try something in major, here it is.
As usual i used your chord progression and this time I focused on different scales. I tried to use C Ionian/Penta, F penta , Emin/G penta, and G mixolydian. I hope it's correct I hope you like this effort, and PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that I started playing 3 months ago. My speed sucks, really, but I'm trying to come up with some melodic ideas. There's so much work to do there!!! Cheers, Eddie
