That's a great video Gab, thank you, I picked up some tips not related to the creativity workout
 I've had to scrap the idea I had in my head, I think it was a little too ambitious  I'll go back to a more basic idea  Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

I'll have to watch it again, I can't remember
 I just think it was the general way you go about your recording etc, guitar 1 & 2 was one thing, I always record one guitar track and copy it over etc, but just seeing that gave me some ideas about recording two tracks at once with different effects and panned slightly left & right. I guess I've been narrow minded in the past. There were other things, I found it great to watch a pro creating something in their DAW, just the general workflow was inspiring and educating. I'm currently trying to get a drum plugin to work but I can't find it in Reaper, I've done the same as I have with other plugins. I've never used a drum plugin before and I liked the way you checked out the grooves. I'll watch it again and get back to you but it would be great to watch you working on the next collab Saludos Gab's Army is on tour Phil This post has been edited by Phil66: Jul 2 2021, 05:29 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Nice to know this Phil. One important clarification... I'm using a Quad Cortex to record my guitar and it provides an stereo output with stereo effects and processing. That's why I record this on two channels. If you connect your guitar directly to the soundcard, you don't need to record it twice. You can set up a stereo channel and treat it as stereo.

Yeah, thanks, it did spark some ideas though  After my initial idea that I've had to stop working on as my idea was bigger than my skill I'm struggling to come up with something.

Why do you think that your idea was bigger than your skill? Maybe I can help you to adapt it to something that is familiar to you. -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Gab, Maybe "bigger than my skill" was the wrong choice of words, it was too big for my knowledge, I had a story in mind, like I had with the clown one, I needed quite a few sound samples to pull it off and finding them can be a ball ache so I've decided to do a tune for the moment in the picture and now, after looking at it for quite some time, I'm getting some happy vibes, that poor man could have been stuck on a ventilator for weeks and has just started his recovery and is taking great comfort in the fact that he is alive and interacting with another human again. I'll come up with something in the next few days, maybe when I'm on tour with Gab's Army at the weekend, some of the Welsh magic that inspired Mr Plant will hit me -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Jul 7 2021, 03:24 PM) What kind of samples? Now I'm curious... In order : A gentle cough, a sound that represents tension to represent the worrying that you may have Covid, hospital sound bytes, a sound to represent the disease and the suffering, all of this with some kind of Bm7 arpeggio or something like that, then, a transition to a happier key, a knock on the ward door with a, "hello, are you okay now", with some major key orchestral music, bird song and a Steve Vai style FTLOG crescendo to represent the relief of the patient being hugged and knowing that they're coming out of the other side alive. It was a big project to take on, bigger than the clown one with my John 5 impersonation

Wou! That's an interesting idea! I think most of those things could be easy to get. Every time I need an fx or specific sound, I use Youtube. There are many free samples there, and you can use any "youtube to wav" downloader to get the file.
If you decide to get into the project, I'm here to guide you. If you prefer to go for the other idea, it's also great! Can't wait to hear your input here. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Cael! It sounds very good! I like how you experimented with different diminished and augmented 5ths. I think that it reflects the very different vibes of this picture... melancholy, darkness, loneliness, pure love, care...
Very promising! -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (tflava @ Jul 11 2021, 07:59 AM) Thanks a lot gab. Im really happy to see and hear that the feeling i wanted to give to the tune came across as i mented. I will definitely participate with the next one if i have the time Greetz tim Yes! The interesting part here is that you first thought about a feeling, and then used the right theoretical concepts to achieve it. The main goal of this workout is to develop the spiritual side, but it's a whole new level if you can also connect it with theory. QUOTE (MisterM @ Jul 11 2021, 11:42 AM) Hi Gab Very interesting.... I'm happy to see this video I undestand the step of backing track Very cool ideas, picture & music sound great Hi MisterM! Thanks for your feedback. It's nice to know that this type of videos help. Do you have any experience recording backing tracks? -------------------- My lessons
