when we record if the tempo is 85 as yours is, we double it make it 170, so the song has more *feel* and its easier to jump to, less space between click, keeps it tighter

You pretty much went over my workflow that I discovered myself after years of trial and error, acquiring various software (still looking for a killer software amp sim), and research. Don't sleep on this, kids. It may be a little heavy on the Toontrack stuff, but the basic concepts still apply. This is how you do it. I wish I had this video years ago. And the fact of the matter is, EZ Mix seems to make it, well, easy.The only thing maybe worth mentioning, to play off what you said about recording with a drum track (though might be overkill for simple demo recording), is additional instrument order. I find i tend to get the best results recording in the traditional order after you have the ideas down: Drums -> bass -> rhythm guitar -> lead guitar -> vocals. Having a solid, steady foundation seems to make it much easier for me to lock in those leads (and even rhythm guitar) with less takes and frustration.
@treyxaviermusic
@treyxaviermusic 8 жыл бұрын
Thanks man! Yeah, once you've got the ideas down, actually tracking them is another thing entirely. Although I usually go drums - rhythm guitar - bass, just because the rhythm guitar to me is the meat of the song around which everything else revolves, and I have to make the basslines work around that, and I can't personally record bass when there's only drums. But that's me.

This guy named Mike gave me some good advice back in the day. He told me that when I played my demo for people to lie and say that it was someone other than me that was singing/performing. People are more inclined to be honest when the person they are assessing is not present. You might not get an honest response if the person you played the demo for knows it's you on the recording. In attempts to be polite they might not tell you you suck, even if you do.

i didnt realize how easy it was to just copy, paste and delete your guitar sound! i am completely new to recording and was under the impression you really had to be ready for a long haul once you hit record. i have been goofing around with recording for the last few months on and off. it was very challenging at first but i have been to make a few jams out it. im using the free audacity program and connecting my guitar preamp through usb (cave man style). seeing you make all this from scratch was simply amazing! GREAT TUTORIAL

Depends what you're doing. For a demo like this, it's absolutely acceptable to record in pieces and use a lot of placeholder stuff just to get ideas down. After all the purpose is just for sharing ideas at a basic level to get feedback or to share with band members. But if you're recording something as a final product, you probably do want to actually record things at once as much as possible so it sounds like an actual performance.

These are some good ideas for making song structure. I think for the most part it can set it up to give your other musicians in the band what you may want and then use the actual musicians to execute the parts. I'm not a big fan of the sound of the vocal microphone that was used to make this, but it's a demo. Thank you for sharing. I do like the sound of your guitar for this type of music though and a nice job playing it. I'm curious to know what this would sound like if this was recorded to tape on separate tracks. I give this a thumbs up.

My producer and friends recommended that I'd leave a few mistakes on the demo to inspire the music producers of the labels and to get their attention; so I did and am almost sure that it's one of the best music demos in the world because it shows a lot of versatility artistically and I demonstrate my willingness to change and adapt to my fans and environment and to have them grow with me. My first demo was way to intimidating and did't leave much for the imagination. If I don't land a deal in the next few years I'm going to sell it to another artist as an album and just start over.

I have a basic cpu speaker set up with subwoofer. When I was using my amp I would do guitar-amp-audiobox-cpu and was using studioone. I also have ezdrummer 2.

Are you just using like a focusrite interface into pro-tools?

I know you usually usually use electric guitar but i'm really having trouble getting the acoustic guitar to fit in the mix. It sounds off no matter what I do. Could it be that I record it in my room ?

You should get the BeatBuddy pedal. Will save you a tonne of time for your demos.

As you play through both the real amp and the software , have you ever felt any kind of latency or something like that through the software???

I don't have any latency problems, but I have a fast thunderbolt interface and I have the buffer set really low.

TREY! got a question, when you added the beat the Sample name had 72BPM, does it automatically sync up to the tempo that you have set for the track in general?
@treyxaviermusic
@treyxaviermusic 8 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's just the BPM it was originally performed at. It's literally just chunks of MIDI so it syncs up.
