That sounds like a better approach. I was recording with a mix of headphones for guitar and laptop speakers for the drums or loop playback. The other difficulty I encountered was that I realised I have utterly no idea how to play over chords, whether it be layering notes over it or soloing or whatever.jeremyb wrote:I found for my noobness that playing over a drum beat helped a lot, trying to sync up drums to a track thats outta time was a bit pantsWhat I did on my second clip was create one of the default drum tracks in garageband and stretched it out for a minute and then play over the top trying to get something that worked in with it, worked much better for me as I don't know shit about drumming

You using the HD500? cause you can set that as your audio output and then the drum tracks will come thru your headphoneshamo wrote:That sounds like a better approach.

HA! Yep, know the feeling, this trying to make music thing gives you an appreciation of how hard it actually is, both technically and creatively!!
Cool. Am I limited by using the Lite version of EZ Drummer? Will that stop me exporting to something like Reaper? Is that even how it works?Scooter13 wrote:In my song above, I found the tempo I wanted to play at, and recorded a rough take to a click track. Then went and found a drum loop that fitted over my riff, by way of looping my riff, and trawling through ez drummer at the same time. It's partly a case of knowing the style and feel of drumming I want, and then listening to what feels right and has the right accents in the right places.
Once I find the drum loop I like, I drop it in to the track and then re-record the guitars over it. I find that while my timing with the click track is fine, it sounds more natural if I play to the drum loop. Unsure if that's because of the EZ drummer algorithms for making it sound more "natural" or what.

Oh cool. Yeah, for some reason I always forget to look for a tutorial.jeremyb wrote:In reaper from memory you just add it to the plugins if it doesn't find it automatically and then you can just add a track and drag and drop the ezdrummer loops into it, heaps of good tutorials on youtube tho'
