Reaper Tutorial: Create MIDI Drum Tracks With FREE MT Power Drum Kit VSTi

Reaper Tutorial: Create MIDI Drum Tracks With FREE MT Power Drum Kit VSTi In this step-by-step Reaper tutorial you will learn how to use the FREE MT Power Drum Kit VSTi you can download from http://bit.ly/1VpEB1q within Reaper (or any other DAW) to program your own drum tracks. You will also need to visit my web page if you want to download my drum programming cheat sheet and the drum map file I have created for the MT Power Drum Kit at http://bit.ly/19kGR46 This is a companion video to my other complete beginner’s guide to drum programming in Reaper which you can view on my web page above or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpk6LT5WTcQ The first video has a very detailed step by step guide on how to build up your own drum tracks from scratch. However it does use a drum instrument that does not ship with Reaper. In this video you can see how to install and use the MT Power Drum Kit instead. The MT Power Drum Kit enables you to quickly put together tracks with pre-programmed intros, grooves and fills, which you can then hand edit if you wish. It can also be used if you want to create your own patterns as shown in my first video. When you have grasped the basics of drum programming, I really recommend you consider purchasing the #HitIt Book on Drum Programming by Chris which is available on Amazon here http://bit.ly/1VpECT0 or you can purchase it as an eBook here http://bit.ly/1qupwi3 The book covers more detailed tutorials on programming your own drum tracks in loads of different genres, including metal, rock and pop. So once you have mastered the basics of how to use a drum plugin and hand edit in your chosen DAW (Reaper in this case) you can then move on and really up your game with the book alongside. Reaper Tutorial Details: You will learn how to create a new track with a VSTi instrument, and then how to edit the MIDI data to control the instrument. This video shows you how to program drum tracks, but you could use the same steps to control any virtual instrument in Reaper. And the same principles apply if you use any other DAW. You will also learn how to upload a text file to rename the default note names in the MIDI editing window. This is very useful – in fact it is almost essential – when you are trying to program drums in particular.

How To Record Digital Piano / Keyboard On A Budget With Sabrent USB External Stereo Sound Adapter

How To Record Digital Piano / Keyboard On A Budget With Sabrent USB External Stereo Sound Adapter Record your digital piano on a tiny budget using the Sabrent USB External Stereo Sound Adapter (available on Amazon http://geni.us/2FEG ) and Audacity (free audio editor and recorder http://bit.ly/1qV1A8m ) The easiest and cheapest way to record the sound of your digital piano or keyboard on your computer (whether you have a Windows Laptop/PC, Mac or iPad) is to connect the audio output of your digital piano keyboard to the microphone port of your computer. I have already uploaded a complete course on how to record your keyboard on your computer – and how to use it as a MIDI controller – on YouTube, and you can either view my channel or find the whole course in one place here http://bit.ly/1S9GDNr By far the best way to record the sound of your keyboard is via a professional audio interface, and if you can possibly afford it then that is my recommended route. To help you, I have written all about What Is An Audio Interface http://bit.ly/1N9J0OV and how to choose the best one for your home recording studio http://bit.ly/1Unazsj However, if you are on a super tight budget, or you are just starting and don’t want to spend any money yet, then I also showed you how to connect the audio output of your keyboard or piano to the mic port of your computer and make quite a decent recording in Audacity or Garageband – both of which are free. So this is a super cheap way of recording. The problem, though, is that many modern computers and laptops do not have a separate microphone port, so getting this method working is very fiddly and requires you to use an adapter. I have seen in the feedback and comments that many of you have struggled. So in this video you can learn step by step how to record the sound of your keyboard through a very inexpensive USB External Stereo Sound Adapter (buy on Amazon here http://geni.us/2FEG ). These little USB devices are VERY popular, VERY cheap, and work incredibly well! Check out the recording of the piano that I make in this video. Not bad quality is it? You can use this sound adapter on iPad as well as Windows PC, Laptop and Mac so it is very versatile. And it has good quality playback too. Finally if you have one of those microphone/headphone headsets with the two mini jacks then you can use this device with that headset too. Once you have watched this, do check out the rest of the series – and find out how to use your keyboard or digital piano as a MIDI controller too! All the videos are here http://bit.ly/1S9GDNr or view them as a playlist on YouTube if you prefer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeHrtSVcm0s&list=PL5P4qB37mqpDxtgPQ_jEAcDXSaIbYeijf And while you are there – make sure you subscribe! I have a lot more videos in the pipeline for people like you who are new to recording, or trying to get results on a budget.

BE DEUTSCH! [Achtung! Germans on the rise!] | NEO MAGAZIN ROYALE mit Jan Böhmermann - ZDFneo
English description below Die Welt dreht durch! Europa fühlt sich so schwach, dass es sich von 0,3% Flüchtlingen bedroht sieht, Amerika ist drauf und dran einen Mann zu wählen, bei dem niemand so genau weiß, wer unter dem Toupet die Fäden zieht und als wäre das alles noch nicht schlimm genug, muss man sich nun auch noch ausgerechnet von Deutschland darüber belehren lassen, wie man sich moralisch richtig verhält. Ausgerechnet Deutschland! Die haben noch nicht mal einen Weltkrieg gewonnen! The world is going completely nuts! Europe feels threatened by 0.3% refugees, the USA are about to elect a man, of who no one really knows who is pulling the strings under the toupee and just as if that was not bad enough, Germany of all nations has to disabuse the world of how to behave morally right. I mean GERMANY! They did not even win one single world war in history!
