My first attempt at software recording.

[karpathion]

I'm still figuring out what everything is on this software is, but I have my guitars sounding decent. It's not really the vision I have in my head, but it works.

If you hear something I'm doing wrong, please tell me. I'm learning.

This is just a test riff.

Sounds pretty damn good to me!

How'd you record it and what did you use?

Re: My first attempt at software recording.

The software is, Fl studio 10. Drums are from the software.
Guitar is my beater, it's an LTD FX-260, with a C8 bridge.
I used my Krank Rev JR pro and one of my Blackheart cabs. Mic was a Sure 57.
Bass is a Warmoth SG direct to the interface.

I created a drum sample, looped it for a while, and layed the bass line down.
Recorded 2 guitar tracks and panned them a little to each side, added a little compression, and EQ.
Not much to it really. I just had to learn the software.

I'd say you learned the software very well!

What kind of interface did you use?

Re: My first attempt at software recording.

make a send track for the drums and add lots of compression, then blend it with the dry drums. It's called parallel compression and lets you get powerful drum sounds without ruining the dynamics. Play around with the release to get it 'dialled in' with the strikes of the drums.

It's just an M-Audio Fast Track.

Thanks, I have a few new tricks to try tomorrow.

Re: My first attempt at software recording.

guitar riff and sound are off the chain!! that krank sounds awesome.

I'd say just get a midi drum program of your choice (EZD, addictive, or another toontrack product) and you're good to go! addictive's demo is easy to install and use and even to do quick clips with.

Thanks, it's getting there.

Appreciate it!

I really didn't want to tell anyone it was a Krank.

I'm working on getting these drums up to par. It takes a lot of tweaking to get some of this stuff right. I'm building a drum kit on my software right now. I've almost got everything sounding right.
