Awesome tutorial AND Music, sir! I had this epiphany a few days back - where laying drums/beat down first IS the best way to get quality songs... [for me] Or at least for it to have the energy right - to build somethin proper upon. Now - i have just to figure that part out. lol [ i got my drivers - switched from WASAPI to AISO, after recording straight mic'd guitars bass & vox for a year or so on one channel at a time, w/previous driver setting - Now i can access multiple channels and guitar in{tuner function was somethin I just had to have working}. So that parts great. But, now I have a quieter mic signal. Maybe there is a better driver than AISO4all, i hear...] It will now be the task for today to get functionally familiar with MIDI editor, regions, quantizing and all that... Using all free apps - i believe this is possible. But many-a-tutorial to go... One less - thanks to you! Thank you for helping on that way, oh kindred spirit!
Cool tune, :) I use Reaper on Linux. It's not impossible, just difficult to find the plugins to do some of the stuff you make look so easy. There are wrappers / bridges to use some of the Windows/Mac VSTs, but it's an added layer of CPU stress that is more like a band-aid than anything. I don't know how many of us use Linux for our primary OS, but now with LV2 and CLIP plugins, it seems to be easier to make decent noise than "in the olden days." I'm very intrigued by your composition technique and am going to check that out right now. All the best! Almost 1000 subs! That's awesome buddy.
Thank you for watching! Yeah almost at 1k lol We'll get there, no rush. Thank you for checking out my process. I have more videos coming based around making music with reaper, and other cool things I can find.
For some reason I find the Reaper Ui very overwhelming, is there a way to have the midi keyboard constantly in front of you. Placed centre? Rather than opening like a window every time ?
I felt like that also. I just took it one step at the time. At first all I wanted was to record guitar ideas, so I focused only on that. Then drum beats, arranging, customizing etc... You don't have to use everything reaper offers, I don't. As far as the keyboard, there's a button on the top right where you can pin it. 📌 This will keep it on top of any other window you open. You can place it wherever you like.
