    Not sure if this is the right section, but how do you make music? -What's your creative process like?Do you write the lyrics first, then record guitars? Or do you tinker around the guitars and find a good riff then build off that? Or do you have a specific emotion you want to get out in...

    Hey all... I've been working w/ PT LE 7.4 for a few months. Just audio recording and some editing/mixing. Although successful to this point, I would like to get into adding some drum loops and synth. My question is... Do you NEED to use a midi controller/keyboard to get virtual instruments...

    Do you guys who use these drum pads play the drums or do you just play crappy on the trigger and then let the sequencer fix it up? I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the easiest method to record drum tracks. Rusty Cooley used an old DR-5 on some of his earlier tracks. He programmed it then...

    So im probably getting an iMac with Leopard. Now im not a huge fan of garage band because of the minimal **** they have on it, and like how unoriginal songs can be after like a year. So I was thinking of riff works because im a total newb at recording and they seemed pretty good. I know how to...

    Great song! can I get another opinion on this...at 1:40-1:43 I can hear something really weird in the background :S it sounds like vocals but im not too sure...could it possibly be an artifact, or possibly a take they forgot to take out? If you turn it up really loud you should be able to hear...

    Anyone tried using T-racks http://www.t-racks.com/ It seems like a good program. I downloaded the demo, but it inserts a terrible noise every few seconds, so that the final product is unusable as its a demo only. Is it worth the $200 or so dollars to buy it ?? Any other possible cheaper...

    Hey guys! I've been really wanting to start recording and messing around with all of that, and I don't have the slightest idea as to how I would get started. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if I wasn't a broke 16 year old with next to no money. So, if you guys could help me create a good...

    Darin's Music Thread **UPDATED** 11/9/07 Hey ya'll! I've seen all kinds of thread titles. I'm not sure even how many Jemsiters check this wing of the forum. I think that, just like the rest of the guys, and couple gals around here, we all want to be heard when we record something...

    s it possible to get a Laptop that is aimed at musicians??? It would be really handy if my next Laptop had all the connections i need to go into a Mixer. Most Laptops only seem to have a small headphones output now which is not very handy for musicians. Just a set of din plug stereo outs would...

    My Dr-880 IMO is awesome. But can you get better drum tracks using computer software? And is it more difficult?

    Does anyone here use Toontrack's EZDrummer? I need help with an annoying problem I'm having with it. In Sonar, I create a cool drumkit and save the project; then, I open the project back up and it goes back to the default drumkit. Is there any way to save the drumkit you're using along with all...

    I've decided its time to try to take music to a different level, and start recording original stuff. I'm wanting to be able to make my own drum tracks, and record acoustic and electric guitar, synth, and vocals. I'm looking into buying a mac specifically for this application. I'm wanting this...
