Driving home recording equipment Introduction: Part 2 Software

Welcome back! This article is for those who want to record music on a home computer to restart. This is the second part of a series of articles.

Description of the software (sequencer and VSTi's)
How it works
What are the cycles and how are they used?
VST instrument, what is it?

So his Tower of Power is ready to have a nervous system. A lotOptions exist, but first, this is where you think "How do you plan on using it should be."

Plan A. If you are looking for a musician to create notes, maybe add drums, drawing a little 'song and the ability to "want something on a professional level (demos, etc.) you will find a program like (PC), Cubase, Sonar. O (MAC) logic.

Plan B If you only want to collars or not necessarily the "Play Sound Pro". Proceed with a program like acid. This programIdeal for the organization and allows you to "paint" the measures and the bars of music. You can use the loop (available all over the world) to create some fairly sophisticated compositions. This program is ideal for writers and arrangers.

Plan C, you are slow to make some beats and grooves. Maybe you play with the face of the music DJ's. LIVE or reason are the two main programs for you.

All the programs mentioned above are known as sequencers. Everyone has a cycle, and skills aresecond step to create your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), because what we were doing, right? All of these large programs can be used in combination with others.

Computer software / hardware COMBO:

After the game board (sequencer) from above, there is the need to say something more "band" for. We see the most popular ways to download music and let your inner passion.

LOOPS: They come in all shades andDimensions. (Drums, ie, bass, guitars, birds and, of course), horns. Will work with a program such as hydrogen, Plenty of loops as. Starting from a simple drum loop can inspire a whole composition. Then add a little 'down, and take your guitar and above all, there you have it, his "mega hit".

A word of caution, the loops can be purchased online or via e-bay, you must seek the original buyer to offer "the content will be" amazed at the amount of time,Return a collection of loops, if you're not careful.

VSTi from here is a great technology (not to be confused with most VST VST speak in the third article). These software tools can be used (design) in the sequencer. With a MIDI controller or keyboard (not) before you, you can change the sound of a guitar, bass or even a trumpet. A good program to start is SampleTank. This program offers a variety of toolsand aural. (Again, I hope that these companies paid me)

Note: The knowledge of "how to play the keyboard call (or other) is not absolutely necessary. If you want to know they are one resource. If you have no idea, you can learn in terms of music as" this type of program. This helps to keep alive the passion with his new hobby.

Example: I am a drummer by nature … but I can not play the guitar and bass with my driver. Enter the correct Thing, and that before the mirror, but only the people! E? … G? … A? … I learned that this deal with learning the software because of the instruments. Now I can talk to the players of the guitar in "language", and now I can tune a guitar! My point is that never underestimate the power of software is the ultimate exercise.

DRIVER: MIDI another term techie … What does this mean? In short (and how they are used in> Recording). This is a standardization of how the hardware devices (MIDI controller) to communicate with the software (VSTi's) (more) need to start Google it. Here are some MIDI controllers, such as:

• A MIDI keyboard (most common)

· Trigger finger (if you can play the drums on the desktop, this is for you.)

· TD-20 (a bit 'more advanced and pricy)

INTERFACE: Hey! We found that in one articlealready. Cool eh? The interface is actually two main guitar audio (input / vocals) and the sound is turned off () the speakers. This is why the chapter title "The PC software / hardware combination," because now talk about how he feels our masterpiece.

SPEAKERS: OK, stop here for a moment. How to confuse us with the keyboard to a MIDI keyboard, we need a monitor to be confused with the monitors. Gang only joking, but the correct termfor (once called) is now talking monitored. Specialists in cars, TV and radio (not yet gone? Found) monitors in recording studios. They are simply better to give a "real" sound. Connect the universal right of the monitor, identified as "out".

There PAC this article, we are almost ready to make music.

So far, we are (or are willing to go to) our:

· Computer Systems

A •Interface

Our · sequencer of choice

Loops · or VSTi

· Monitor

· Flaming Passion

To talk article three more effects VST and run through some "work" with the audio recordings.

Until next time
