There is no right or wrong way I guess but just wondering how the guys here who track everything themselves do it.
How often do you record a part and then later come up with an idea for another layered but it requires tweaking the original part It's very different than recording a track when it has been rehearsed for hours and tweaked by a band -------------------- My SoundCloud

My approach is usually to write everything in Guitar Pro. I have done that for years and years. Drums, vocals, guitar parts, bass, keyboard... anything your head can imagine is noted down there. Once you know the program really well, it's a very fast method of noting down songs, material, riffs, parts and everything. It does take a lot of time to become familiar with it, and I can only recommend skipping GP6 and go straight to either 5.2 or 7.5. Those two versions have the best features.
I then export the midi from Guitar Pro for those track that I will not be playing myself, and I import those in Reaper. Choose the VST instruments and record the rest of the tracks. Of course there are some more or less manual humanizing to do and stuff like that. Things may then change in the recording phase too of course. Here are examples of GP5.2, GP7.5 and an mp3 export from GP7.5. Please DO NOT open this with GP6, as it will NOT sound "right". Use regular midi for 5.2 and the inbuilt sound engine of 7.5: This post has been edited by Caelumamittendum: Dec 12 2018, 05:52 PM
