falsettobells Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 i use reaper for most of my recording stuff. I mostly do covers of muse's songs. I can play the bass parts and guitar parts but for the drum parts i need a way to make them electronically(if thats the right word). I know about addictive drums but how can i make drum beats of a song with it, i dont want to play over the original song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Make your drum beat in a MIDI sequence, then run this through addictive drums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious911 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Make your drum beat in a MIDI sequence, then run this through addictive drums Can often get a pretty accurate MIDI drum track from Guitar Pro tabs. Tweak them as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks for the reply..how do i make a midi track? Can it be done in reaper?..also i've never done this so how will i know which beat comes at which interval of time? Make a new track and insert a new midi item, then edit as you please in the piano roll. Might want to look up the documentation on it if you really don't know. You could import the original track as a refernece and go from there but you'd have to have the correct tempos. Guitar Pro is probably an easier method if you just want something that works.

falsettobells Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Is there another work around. I mean is there a way to just play the guitar parts over the original and i can lower the volume level of just the original guitar played in the song, not the other instruments? I've seen guitar covers on youtube and their guitar parts over shadow the original played parts, but when I record i can also hear the oriinal guitar sound..is there a mixing technique?

matthijs Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 You'd have to EQ the guitar frequencies out, or have a track that has been featured on guitar hero or the likes, to find the extracted audio files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falsettobells Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 I don't think there's any kind of track like that for animals..where i can eq the guitar like that...i always try to eq(increase it's volume) my guitar a little higher then whats being played in the original but it doesnt sound that natural and good.

sidious911 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Why isn't her guitar even plugged in for the first minute or so....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 There's no special mixing there. It's the studio track you just can't really hear the original guitar over her's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falsettobells Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Why isn't her guitar even plugged in for the first minute or so....? Probably just recorded before and acted out later infront of the camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
