Find the links to Power Drummer, Reaper, and my Substack below.
Description:
This is a tutorial to take you through the process of recording a clean guitar and vocal track to a Midi drum track. This allows you to play your song to a set tempo (beats per minute).
While I am using Reaper and MT Power Drumkit, this process will work, with some variation, for any full-featured DAW. Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Studio One, etc.
If you find this helpful, please subscribe, like the vidoe, and leave me a commennt.
Thanks.

Thanks. I'm going to do one on collaborating with other artists.. Google drive, etc.

in case you don't know - for item volumes > item right click>item processing>normalize items

@MatthewMoranMusic 7 месяцев назад

Thanks. For whatever reason, I tend to avoid normalizing anything... but there certainly is a benefit. I'll try that during an upcoming tracking session. It could be particularly helpful with scratch tracks.

i like it for leveling. it alters the volume, it doesn't change the dynamics. it's non destructive, so you always can go back. ofc, it's just an option nothing else.

interesting technique

@MatthewMoranMusic 8 месяцев назад

It sort of became my defacto method many years ago. I don't believe it was shown to me - it was more the fact that attempting to just record guitars I would lose my place.
