I'm a music teacher, I did musical recording and mixing with 8th graders, they loved it, showed them this video and we loved your song. Keep it up dude!
No way! That is so freaking cool!
Youre awesome dude. I like the way you feel the tracks you record . Nice to see that not being forced once in a while.
That was fun to watch. I like the melody and note progression. I've used Reaper in the past on my laptop to write some songs using a Roland Duo Capture EX and everything went smoothly - using mostly free VST/instrument plugs.
Thanks Schmicker!
Thanks for showing this. I'm just learning recording with reaper, so this was great. I enjoyed the tune!
Thank you for saying!
Sounds and looks good! I've recorded songs before but a lot of tricks I did not know yet. Will surely use those next time.
Nice, thanks for the comment!
fun tune this was super cool and helpful thanks!
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
I’m incredibly impressed!! The song sounds so good! It does sound kind of like a Pink Floyd song...
Nice song liked seeing you making it
Thanks Joseph
Very cool man, thanks so much
Glad you enjoyed!
That was awesome, make another video like this please!
Thank you!
Spot on 👌
BRAVO!
thank you!
I love the look of that squier
Tks for the video. Is the ssl2 still working fine with windows?
Yes, it's still one of the better interfaces out there if you only need two inputs
Hi demonic, good you please tell me the effect on the lead guitar tone? Very nice and early floyd. Cheers
I used a very slow tremolo effect so the pitch would waver slightly, plus an amp model in the fx100
this is a great demo! I had a question about the song time - you set the daw to 150 BPM, but the song is not super fast - it almost has a half time feel?
Yeah, I mean really I could have set it to half that speed at 75 bpm which probably would have made more sense, but in the beginning I was like, oh I'll make something more upbeat, but when I went to record I wasn't feeling it that way.
@@demonicsweaters ah that makes sense - thanks!
Nice song! Thanks for sharing your recording process. I never know which instrument to record first. I would usually start with drums but you added drums last. Did you use a click track on guitar to keep time?
I always do drums last. I like to know what I'm playing to so I can really think about the drum part. I always start with a click. (I show that in the video). I usually either start with guitar or synth. I'll fully arrange the song, then add drums last.
How do you monitor your insrument AND the click or track from the DAW simultaneously?
You need an interface with direct monitoring. They usually have a knob to blend the sound of the input with the pc output
Great song you made 5/5 in that genre !!! we want more your music/i have Yamaha DTX 520k electric drums and i love them !!! :)
Thank you so much! It's actually coming on on a new album on 10/1 under my project name, Manasota. Here's the link distrokid.com/hyperfollow/manasota/as-the-sun-rises
Just found your channel great stuff a guy doing what I love myself.
Awesome, thank you!
Great vid! What other DAWs do you use?
Thank you! These days just Reaper and Ableton
I can’t seem to get my drums to trigger in reaper. Using ggd and kontakt. Works in GarageBand haha. But I can’t get any of the pads to trigger at all in reaper. Any advice?
Make your you have selected and activated your drums in Reaper’s midi settings
Great mix!! I’m impressed. Josh Homme should do vocals on this track.
Hey, nice vid. Wanted to ask how you deal with recording in time, specifically on a bass. I’ve been playing for 3 years, but had only recorded one song in a studio, the rest is all live concerts. A couple of months ago I was asked to record a bass part in a studio by my friend, but it turned out not so good. I tried recording myself yesterday, just playing major scale to a click track. Same thing. I’m always slightly off, starting either a few milliseconds earlier or later. This is honestly a downer. When I play with a metronome I can hear mistakes and try to improve. Then I play the track back and those turn out to be not so bad, but the less obvious ones just plain surprise me. Did I really pull a string right there?
Do you face some of these issues? I’m not sure if it’s common with pros or semi-pros. If yes, do you record all over, re-record parts you messed up or just drag or trim notes in Reaper? Thanks.
Well, I'm not trying to be facetious, but it just sounds like you need to practice.
@@demonicsweaters Nah, no offense. Practice is necessary all the time. I'm just wondering if others face this problem often or at all and, if they do, how they work on it. It's not like it's every bar. Just occasional mistakes here and there with few miliseconds either early or late.
@@salomoreagain, it sounds like you just need to practice. I have heard lots of people play out of time, and the solution is always practice. You're asking for my advice, I give you the answer, then you say no that's not it. haha. I'm not sure how this is even mysterious to you.
@@demonicsweaters Don’t get me wrong, I’m not dismissing your advice and appreciate it. Just wondering about other’s experience.
Absolutely amazing job this instrumental track sounds like a Jeff Buckley song love it ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Big Bro
I am a Guitarist I Mainly Produce Indie Songs
But I don't Know How to play Keyboard
I want to play Bass, Strings , and krta on Keyboard
All Indie Rock pop Songs are Mainly guitar And Drum Based
What is best Choice to go for with a Tight Budget
Mini midi or 49 keys please Suggest
you really can't go wrong with m-audio amzn.to/43evs0U
Sadly, Reaper owns Ardour or Qtractor at the moment. Complicated vst instrument routing is a chore on FOSS applications.
Totally, it's no contest.
I need to get lessons from you. Happy to pay
Cool
thanks man!
does "bounce" mean save?
Sorry for the very late response. No, bounce does not mean save. It means export. Like how to mix your project down to a stereo file.
I didnt know you played all the instruments yourself. Has some MGMT Congratulation album vibe. But probably other influences that my limited music knowledge dont let me discern.
Actually it sounds more like Siberian Breaks
nice.. i feel havona and some jaco mix..
Thanks!
i like you
Reminds me of Cloakroom. Check them out, they’re a really good stoner rock/emo band
I'll check them out! If you like this song its called As the Sun Rises by Manasota!
@@demonicsweaters I went and found it on TH-cam Music… Love it!
So glad I watched this video
Also, very inspiring!
I need to get me an electric drum kit 🙌🏻
@@TheEternalSigh Well for the final version I used acoustic drums, sounds much better ;)
@@TheEternalSigh and thank you!
Is that...A DANELECTRO NIFTY FIFTY in the background?!? -=:-O
Yep!
@@demonicsweaters Duuuuuuuuude! I have that very amp...except the "Danelectro" plaque fell off. Haha It's kinda noisey, but it was my first amp. 🤘❤️❤️❤️🤘
"not a bad guitar for 70 bucks"
Few min later
"I can't seem to play anything enjoyable on it"
Cheap guitars are cheap for a reason and are almost always not even worth the cheap price. They are just firewood disguised as a guitar!
Cup Bigger than his mouth .. Who noticed \m/ .. By the way useful video
Not sure I understand this comment, but thanks?
i know you ment 1 t.b ssd and not 1
g.b. lol
Interesting, I'll say that.
