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.

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!

@@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.

I wanna share something with you people... If you wanna find backing tracks of a song for a cover but can't use the original one due to copyright, then find a piano version of it that has a midi file link. That way, you can get the backing tracks. Just load the backing tracks in a digital audio workstation and remove the right hand part of the song because they usually contains the vocal melody part and the left hand usually contains backing tracks of the song as chord progressions.

@gobrad 5 жыл бұрын

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...
