This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for someone running through simple construction from scratch. I learned more here in 15 minutes than in literally years of looking at lessons in Garageband and Logic. Plus, it was all done with a great sense of humour and let's face it you have to have that if you're a musician! Well done RJ, thanks and I guess I'll be seeking out more of your vids.

[@jwandhistools]

No kidding.

[@phenixreturns]

create all my backing tracks : simple method but I am a drummer +guitarist+bassist: tuto soon I play all the instruments I need = guitars and drums + more check it out and subscribe !

[@randomthoughts23]

Fucking hate Garbageband.

[@letterli]

RJ - you ARE THE MAN in teaching lessons! You should get an award for this!!! All your stuff here: That's how the real life works - TX SO MUCH!!

[@wax2thefuture647]

Yeah man! Very clear and clean instructions. I’d like to watch you make more of these types of software videos for beginners!

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

Thanks for this one. I'm trying to make backing tracks on garage band, and it's really tricky. I don't have logic or plugins but the basic things you're doing here I think I can use in GB. Thanks for another very useful and interesting vid!

[@TatouVlogs1]

Same!

[@ap7498]

Have been thinking about this for a long time....using interfaces vs trio + (etc). Thanks for the easy walkthrough!!.

[@isaacjohnson.]

Love this! Thanks RJ.

[@ArronSealmoyGuitar]

Thank you !!!! Very imformative yet SIMPLE !

[@picnicpointopenmic572]

I've been using professional backing tracks, but now I'm keen to do my own. Thanks for the lesson, really helpful.

[@jbird3602]

I saw a couple of your touring musician vlogs, because I am a KZbinr when I'm bored of my non cable TV, I thought them quite interesting, being a musician and home recording person myself I thought this video to be quite helpful and I learned a lot! thank you hopefully if I head to Nashville I can meet you

[@XLBiker13]

That was awesome. I have so little understanding of how this sort of thing is done and that made it all seem completely doable with a little patience and practice. Thanks.

[@NozmoKing]

some of the best working guitarist stuff on KZbin! Great videos.

[@RealMNeutral31]

Thank you RJ. You just gave me some other music Ideas from both this video and your how become a better musician video.

[@looney3574]

I like what did there! Very cool to watch!!

[@acommon]

I'd love to hear about how you compose your demo guitar parts. Are they improv? Half-improv? You always manage to turn such interesting phrases without getting repetitive.

[@jeffhebert9643]

Awesome as usual R.J., one of my favorite channels on KZbin . ..Keep them coming my friend .

[@scottdreher8122]

Very helpful man. Thanks

[@Eventual420]

I use the Fishman Tripleplay MIDI pickup and play Omnisphere softsynths, it doesn't write MIDI, it records the synth audio, which is aux sent to outboard effects, so Reverb most of the time, tracked simultaneously. EZD as well, but mostly done in the song creator. Sometimes cymbals, sometimes triangles get written out in MIDI. the performance editor let's you add/remove specific drums, and it will rotate through patterns if you adjust the number of hits. mixed FL Studio, all PC based, RME interfaces. Surface Pro 4 with 2 add screens. Great fun!

[@battmanvonrichtoven]

Friken sweet man. You are helping tremendously. Thank you

[@yourguitarist]

Thank you R.J. I had several "So that's how he does that!" moments watching this. I am woefully ignorant on today's plugins etc... This is a great intro to composing with today's technology. :)

[@murahachibu]

I really enjoyed your channel this year. Thanks man and I hope 2019 is a great one for you.

[@RJRonquillo]

Thanks for watching! I've got some great stuff in store for 2019, stay tuned!

[@gergemall]

Excellent as always RJ

[@jeffcomeau4680]

RJ.. thanks for listening to the requests for this. The internet is good for some things and this is worthy. (At least in my world). I see the light again.. keep em coming. Huge Fan!!!

[@jmparker56]

[@paulcarr4435]

Great video, thank you!

[@emtu23]

Thank you very very much. This will help me creating songs

[@JJ-bm2jj]

That was KOOL

[@brianpetersen3429]

Very helpful!

[@80guitarguy82]

Thank you very much. I'd like to start making my own backing tracks to jam too.

[@michaelhawkins6149]

Very cool. Thank you.

[@RickMcCargar]

That was great information, thanks for taking the time to put it together. I still work in garageband so I'll have to see if those plug-ins work there, or maybe it's time for me to grow up and start using better software? haha. Not sure it makes sense, I'm a guitar-hack...but it's fun.

[@jwandhistools]

Thanks man. As a frustrated guitar player, this really helps. EZD it is.....

[@yangxithang4048]

Very interesting the Logic Pro X

[@fall157]

very good man, you made me want to record some hits

[@nixonangeles]

Finally! Someone I can relate to. 00:40 I don't know much about EQ 🤣🤣 I think I'm gonna subscribe from now on 🎸🤘

[@bluzzjazz]

Thanks RJ, this software has always been a mystery to me. May put away the Tascam!

[@samyoungai]

Fast and nice groove.

[@maykbritooutros]

love it!

[@davidjohnson9993]

Loved the video. This is something I’ve wanted to delve into. What keyboard are you using to trigger drum and bass sounds?

[@paiolagt]

Thumbs Up from Brazil!!!

[@gobrad]

Hi great video!! Will you do a tutorial on how to creat a medley of pre-made backing tracks... let’s say you take three ready made tracks of different tempos and run one into another by adding the appropriate drum and instrument fills.. is love to see how this is done because i normally take a verse from each track and overlap it, fading one into the next for my one piece vocal gig but obviously doesn’t sound as good if I were to use the correct fills in between...

[@boctok55]

"ooh, I can hear the rust on that..." I died!

[@tomasengstrom6362]

I "TOTALLY" heard the rust too ;)

[@sandymarino5319]

Looks addictive, I would never go to sleep lol

[@daveowenmusic1749]

Good tutorial. Plus, we all know that we can take it further if we want to. Thanks, R.J.!

[@jabando]

Awesome!!!

[@johnlannikk2701]

Great Vid. Subbed.

[@sunilrautela1873]

Wao...i respect ur humbleness,i am not an engineer,dpend more on presets....ur cool

[@MrSeinfeldFan2]

Loved it. I want more videos like that!.. I am sick of learning my guitar and nothing else (Yes, I don't sound that good! :)... So I need the computer to help make learning more interesting.

[@henk-janwormgoor8497]

Thanks!

[@varmutantvibes5669]

Great Vid. You mentioned Meter/Strut in EZ Drummer. Probably based on Cissy Strut by The Meters (Funk). Couldn't resist a chance for some Zigaboo appreciation..

[@Fezzler61]

My entire workflow! LOL. I also use a program called Scaler to give me chord progression ideas.

[@RJRonquillo]

Nice. I just picked up a similar program called Captain Chords, but i'll check out Scaler.

[@Fezzler61]

@@RJRonquillo It was a toss up between Cap. C and Scaler. I went with Scaler because it seemed easier. Check out a free (or very cheap) program called ChordPulse. Really easy creative muse and you can output the midi and import into your DAW.

[@wajordan1]

You need to do a logic tutorial! That lesson was better than any that are out there!

[@DaveElke]

Ez keys is nice. Drop a midi fix arpeggiator and get the Rhodes moving’ Great breakdown. As a recording teacher I appreciate the clarity of your presentations. Sharing with the class!

[@jcatrillo]

Súper Thanks

[@John_Smythe-Cruickshank]

Great video man, thanks! What fx did you use for the solo sound in the end of the video?

[@sam127001]

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us ! Very interesting information!

[@IStruggleWithGuitar]

Great soulful tracks!! My current personal favorites from the Rj Ronquillo lab are, E Rockerbox Hip Groove, B Eastwood GP stoner Rock, E Rivolta Amber Steady Rock and Dm Ghost Ridge Alt Rock. Soon to be recorded. Hoping that it's okay to post and share!

[@hanomag251]

Wow super easy!!!

[@ilandiamond]

Nice!

[@blues61]

Dude, were you reading my mind while I watched your last vlog? I was wondering where you got your backing tracks from. I thought it might be some library of complete tracks. I should've known better. Thanks RJ!

[@dude7234]

Great Tutorial! One Question. How do you play all these instruments? I mean do you have something like a pad which you can use for all instruments?

[@edwardjones6109]

Thx, RJ. Super helpful video. Do you play the drum and bass sounds with a midi keyboard?

[@alsacrime4806]

PLEASE Your favorite plugins for guitar Your signal path to record guitar. Thanks!

[@misled_perceptions]

Damn you made that look easy

[@ciclosonico]

great!

[@douglasriibeiro25]

0:47 "I just move around the knobs and sliders" 😂

[@dougfa3515]

I am new here! Thanks for the welcome!

[@YanoshDanosh]

I was looking for help with the actual guitar tracks? got a video on that? mainly wanting to see if you use an eq/compressor/limiter etc. and how you set those.

[@robertclarkguitar]

I use Moxf6 I need to use daw for editing as im a sucker for sequencer lol

[@wormholestudio5304]

Great

[@guitarmanz4879]

Love the channel! Just found out about you from Robert Baker's recent video.

[@RJRonquillo]

[@PaulEFoxII]
