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.
