    That definitely does not sound like a guitar originally. It definitely has its uses, but only a few resembled real guitar. Still a cool vst and can sound good today in many genres. Coming from a guitar player and producer, mostly hip hop.

    It sounds very "midi" to me. Could have used with some actual guitar loops that are played by a guitarist instead of midi sequences.

    • @MaximusWhyman

      It’s actually how you program it. You need to humanize the midi and it’s great.

    Cool video. I worked as a touring musician for years too and had to give it up for the same reasons as yourself (instability). Nice to know it's possible to actually make decent money from making music in your house. The only guys I know who've made it big thus far have done so as artists with millions of monthly listeners / massive records / touring schedules so yeah, I'd take your life over theirs any day !

    • @MichaelOrtega
      @MichaelOrtega 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I have never actually performed on a concert. I just performed my music on a studio or on a location and I make videos for it. Everything else deals with licensing my music so that I can make a living on it. It is possible to make a living and never actually be a “performing artist” the traditional way. can also make music for TV shows and documentaries and depending on the popularity of the music you could get a huge payout. I have little kids and I don’t want to be on tour because it brings a lot of issues for them…. So this is a good alternative so that I can still make money and never actually have to leave my house or my city if I don’t wish to. Obviously, once my kids are old enough. I’m gonna have to go out there 😅

All I have is my little Arturia Midi MkII keyboard, a dp 004 Tascam, a Lyra Mic, and a Laptop, after loosing all my stuff a while back. I hate DAWS, SO this Tascam is really a big blessing in a small package. My hunt now is for trap drum plug in to lace up my piano and Orchestra hits, then I will lay vocals and hopefully be prepared make you proud of your new student. May you sleep well wise one.🎉

    hi Will i got a question. When sending music for Sync what if I made an instrumental with other people (like collaborators)? Cause a lot of libraries request a One-Stop so i have to own the 100% of the master and the publishing, so do I have to have paid the collaborators or is possible to split the Publishing and Master with the collaborators? lmk thanks 🙏

      One shots are okay to use, such as drum samples and instrument one shots. I would avoid using phrases. Technically, you own the loops in Logic as you purchased the DAW. With FL Studio, they say that all their loops are royalty free and okay to use for commercial use, and I'm sure it should be the same in Logic

    You said we should make several versions of each track. Does that mean we should copyright each separately, or put them all together, and the copyright office will do a multi version of same song copyright, in one transaction?
