QUOTE (Gitarrero @ Mar 4 2011, 03:11 PM)  Nice work, Dogukan! But I get the feeling there's just too much stuff in song 2, I think we can make two songs out of it. My "Maiden" riff could work as an intro, followed by my other riff, and we're halfway through with song 3  I am working on a new drum track for our first song, it is more difficult than I thought at first...do you know how it feels when you got an awesome drum pattern in your head but don't have the skills or the program to recreate it? It's driving me nuts, therefore I'm not content with my attempts so far. But you'll get the track with drums soon. Cool Then i will make another arrangement for song 2

CHRISTIAN AND DOKUGAN? (Getting up to speed on creating midi drum tracks)
What are you using for Drums Christian? Let me suggest something, try STEVE SLATE DRUMS. It's a plugin and it's killer. Here is a link with samples. http://www.stevenslatedrums.com/index.php?...r&Itemid=66 I'm also a fan of EZ DRUMMER (It comes with tons of midi drum tracks pre built) I bought a copy of this well. I know, more spending. Not easy. http://www.toontrack.com/products.asp?item=7 Also, when putting in drums, having a keyboard, or small drum pad is a real help. If you don't have midi keyboard, your gonna need one, so start looking around. I use a Maudio keystation which is a workable and cheap way to go. About 50 Euro. Any USB/Midi keyboard will do. It's so much easier than using a mouse to create drum tracks. Korg has a new small usb/midi keyboard for about 50 euro. http://www.korg.com/Product.aspx?pd=579  Or you can try the usb nano pad from Korg about 25 Euro. http://www.korg.com/product.aspx?&pd=415  All this of course means, money, money, money. I've only suggested the cheapest possible prosumer options here, part of what I hope you guys pick up as we continue is what you need in terms of hardware, software, at a minimum, to create decent sounding demos/recordings. There's no substitute for experience. I know it's tough to find money for these things. Believe me. That too, is a vital survival skill. How do I buy what I need and still eat and pay rent?

Getting Better Guitar Tones in Reaper.
Here is a demo reaper project where I used a 5 watt micro cube amp, a cheap netbook, and cheapo icicle usb audio interface with a cheap mic. I recorded on a PC netbook that is pretty underpowered. Essentially, I wanted to use about the worst gear I could put together and then use reaper to get a decent guitar gone as an example. Download the reaper file and the audio file. Open the reaper project and play. Then listen to the .wav file by itself just using windows media player or something outside of reaper just to hear the difference. I used three plugins that come with reaper to essentially replace the entire guitar tone. That's what is great about reaper. Even if the recording of your guitar isn't great, you can fake it in software. There is guitar amp emulation built in to reaper and I just ran across it. It's really quite good. I"m hoping we can use this to even out our recordings as we all use different gear. Let me know what you think Here is a preview of the unprocessed recording.

I'm trying to really push you guys toward learning and growing on this and your doing great so far Dokugan, can you post a rar with all the files for your current version of the new song? I've got the project file but not the source files. Todd |

Hey guys. It's been while since the last post. Time to start working again
I just wanted to ask you something Todd. Can you make a re-record the riffs for song 2 while we are waiting song 1 drums? I talked with Christian 2 day ago and he said that drums are almost done. So we can see the new version of song 1 anytime  Also i know that you've said to me to make drums, but since the midterms going on lately i couldn't find a proper time to do that. So for now i'm just waiting to see Christian's idea. But after friday i will be fully available Cheers, Dogukan.

Get well soon man
I will re-record the riffs of song 2 as soon as Todd sends me the tabs. And don't worry about the vocals. You or Marc can take care of it after we've done with drums Dogukan, -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPOTIFY PAGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL |
