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.

Blue Yeti v Blue Yeti Pro USB Microphone Head To Head Comparison

Blue Yeti v Blue Yeti Pro USB Microphone Head To Head Comparison Blue Yeti v Blue Yeti Pro USB Microphone Head To Head Comparison. What is the difference? Watch the video, then listen to the raw, unedited recordings and compare all the features at http://bit.ly/1QV7MC8 Follow these links to quickly find these microphones in your local Amazon site Blue Yeti Silver Edition http://geni.us/30dW Blue Yeti Pro http://geni.us/PEG So the Blue Yeti Mic and the Blue Yeti Pro both look pretty much identical. But one is twice the price of the other! Why? Well let’s start with the similarities between these two HUGELY popular USB Microphones. Both the Blue Yeti Mic and the Yeti Pro physically look the same. They are both large diaphragm condenser microphones, both with a frequency response of 20Hz – 20kHz. They both have a choice of 4 different pickup patterns: cardioid; bidirectional; omnidirectional; and stereo. This makes these microphones very versatile. You can use in a whole variety of recording situations from from solo work (in cardioid mode) to recording a conference or ensemble (in omni mode). From recording a duet or interview (in bi-directional mode) to recording a stereo signal. Both these microphones have a headphone socket with volume control, which means that as well as being fantastically versatile recording microphones, you can direct monitor and so create voiceovers etc with zero latency. Both USB mics have a physical gain control for the built in pre-amp, so you adjust the recording volume on the mic, and can adjust the settings depending on the recording situation. Finally, these distinctive looking microphones come on a solid stand, so you can vary the angle of the mic. You can also have the option of fitting them to a standard mic stand. The microphones are solid and heavy so you will need a heavy duty stand to do this. So the mics look the same and have similar features. So WHAT is the difference? Well there are two major features. The first is the recording resolution. The standard Blue Yeti records at a resolution of 16-bit 48kHz which is CD quality. However the Blue Yeti Pro can record at up to a resolution of 24-bit, 192kHz. This is a staggering difference! You can hear uncompressed recordings of both the microphones on this web page so you can compare the difference: http://bit.ly/1QV7MC8 The second key difference is the Yeti Pro can also be used as a standalone microphone, with stereo XLR output. So it is not JUST a USB microphone. This makes it hugely versatile and much less restrictive. You can connect it through a mixer and record or amplify without any need to use a computer. So these two reasons explain that with the Blue Yeti Pro you can record at a professional recording resolution and use the microphone as an analog as well as USB mic. So if you have the budget, then the Blue Yeti Pro is a great all-in-one purchase. But do make sure you compare it with all the mics I have tested, as it is the most expensive one I tried out. And if you want to know what any of these technical terms means, then do have a read of my article on microphone types and specs. http://bit.ly/21NET6g I hope you find this series of videos and my web resources help you choose USB microphone for your home recording studio.

The Rode NT-USB and the Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ are very similar in appearance, price and spec. The are both side addressed condenser USB microphones with cardioid pickup pattern. They both record at more or less the same resolution: 16-bit, 44.1 kHz though Audio-Technica can also record at 48kHz. They both have a headphone output with volume control. This feature means they are both excellent if you want to direct monitor what you are recording, with zero latency. This is essential if you want to created voiceovers or vocal tracks. Both these microphones also possess a monitor-mix fader so you can choose how much of the mic you hear, and how much of your computer signal. They both come in the box with a tripod desktop stand, and you can also attach either of them to a standard mic stand if you prefer. They even both come with a zip-up storage pouch and they are both black. So those are the similarities, what about the differences? Well the Rode NT-USB is a larger microphone, and it comes with a pop filter you can attach to the desktop stand. Then the Rode has knobs you can turn to adjust headphone volume and mix whereas the Audio-Technica microphone has dials instead. So what do they sound like?

Blue Snowball iCE v Samson Meteor USB Microphone Head To Head

Blue Snowball iCE v Samson Meteor USB Microphone Head To Head Blue Snowball iCE v Samson Meteor USB Microphone Head To Head. Which one is best? Watch the video, see and hear the differences between them, then listen to the raw, unedited recordings and compare all the features at http://bit.ly/1QV7MC8 Follow these links to quickly find these microphones in your local Amazon site Samson Meteor Mic http://geni.us/LLv Blue Snowball iCE http://geni.us/2Vb7 This is the third video in my series of head to head comparisons of the most popular USB microphones on the market. In this one I compare two of the most striking and funkiest looking contenders: The Blue Snowball iCE Microphone and the Samson Meteor Mic. These two microphones are similarly priced condenser microphones, but very different looking mics, both are unconventional in appearance. The Blue Snowball and the Samson Meteor Mic are both huge sellers, and althought they look different they have lots of similarities Both are large diaphragm condenser mics, and both have a cardioid pickup pattern. This means they are directional and record from only one side of the microphone, rejecting sound from the side and rear, making them a good choice for a home recording studio situation. They have a similar recording resolution of 16-bit 44.1kHz (the Meteor Mic can also record at 48kHz), they both have a stated frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz, and each microphone has a built in desktop stand. But what about the differences? As you watch the video you can hear the difference between the two, and I also point out the key features of each. The Samson Meteor USB Mic boasts one of the largest condenser diaphragms (25mm) of any USB microphone available for superior recording quality. It also has a headphone port which is extremely useful for direct monitoring, and will give you zero latency when you are recording voiceovers. The legs fold in to the mic to make it a very neat, self-contained, portable microphone, though you can also attach it easily to a standard microphone stand if you wish. The Blue Snowball iCE is an almost iconic design, there is no other microphone quite like it, and it is also a self-contained unit, though perhaps not quite as neat and petite as the Meteor. It does not have any headphone port, so is just a recording microphone. The question is which sounds best? In my opinion the Snowball has the better recording quality, but the Meteor is better featured with the headphone port. So which one do you prefer? Do comment below. If you want to know what any of the technical terms I have used mean, then you might want to look at this page where I have explained in detail about microphone types and specs: http://bit.ly/21NET6g I hope this video and my web resources help you to choose the ideal USB microphone for you. The Meteor or the Snowball would certainly look very handsome in any home recording studio.

Samson C01U Pro v CAD U37 v Behringer C-1U USB Microphone Head To Head

Samson C01U Pro v CAD U37 v Behringer C-1U USB Microphone Head To Head Samson C01U Pro v CAD U37 v Behringer C-1U USB Microphone Head To Head. Which is the best budget USB studio condenser microphone? Watch this video, see and hear the differences between them, then listen to the raw, unedited recordings and compare all the features at http://bit.ly/1QV7MC8 Follow these links to quickly find these microphones in your local Amazon site CAD U37 http://geni.us/1vMl Samson C01U Pro http://geni.us/1AM6 Behringer C-1U http://geni.us/3IyM Hopefully this will help if you are trying to choose between these popular budget priced USB mics and decide which one is the best. The Samson C01U Pro, the Behringer C-1U and the CAD Audio U37 are all similar looking large diaphragm USB studio condenser microphones. All three microphones are plug and play studio USB condenser microphones. They are all available at a similar price point, and all are hugely popular best selling microphones. So how do you choose which one to buy? The best way to decide is watch the video, then go and listen to the raw recordings of each mic, so you can directly compare them. I have uploaded full uncompressed recordings of each mic at http://bit.ly/1QV7MC8 To help you further, here is a rundown of each microphones key features: The Samson C01U Pro USB Microphone with Headphone Amp is the newest version of the Samson C01U which was introduced in 2005, and was world’s first USB microphone. The new improved pro version is less noisy than the original, and has a headphone port so you can now direct monitor (listen to yourself while recording without latency). The C01U Pro is a large diaphragm condenser mic with supercardioid pickup pattern which makes it ideal for a home studio as it only records sound from the front of the mic. It comes with a neat little tripod desktop stand with a swivel mount that can be connected to standard microphone stand too. It doesn’t come with any software but you can purchase for $3 noise reduction software with EQ etc via the Samson site. It has a recording resolution of 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz and a smooth, flat frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz. The C01U Pro is a plug and play microphone with a standard USB lead and is easy to set up and use straight from the box. The CAD Audio U37 USB Studio Condenser Mic is a large diaphragm condenser recording microphone with supercardioid pickup pattern so. It does not have a headphone output - you cannot direct monitor what you are recording. You have to listen to recording results on your existing computer speakers or via computer heaphone port. This might lead to some latency. It comes with a tripod desktop stand and has a recording resolution of 16 bit, 48kHz. It has a smooth extended frequency response of 20Hz - 20kHz. This microphone also has a -10dB Pad, and a roll off switch to reduce the proximity effect. It is a plug and play mic which connects directly to your computer via a mini USB lead. I found that the U37 very sensitive, it was necessary to turn the levels down so as not to get clipping, and I thought the recording quality was better with the -10dB pad switched on. Finally, the Behringer C-1U Studio Condenser Microphone is a large diaphragm condenser microphone with a standard cardioid pickup pattern. It is a recording microphone only, it has no headphone output. It does include podcasting/audio editing software in the box (Tracktion) plus there are ASIO drivers available for windows to help reduce latency when recording. This mic only comes with a swivel stand mount so you will need to purchase a stand. It has a ruler-flat frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz and according to the Behringer site it can handle extreme dynamics, all the way up to 136 dB. It is easy to connect to any computer using the standard USB lead. I found the recording quality of the Behringer mic was good, but it was very quiet and I had to really turn up the levels and get close to the mic to get anything like a decent signal. If you want to know what any of the technical terms related to microphones mean, then you might want to look at this page where I have explained in detail what about microphone spec sheets and the jargon you might find here: http://bit.ly/21NET6g I hope this video and my web resources help you to choose the ideal budget mini USB microphone for you. Post in the comments below which of the mics you like the best! From my point of view I liked the Samson C01U Pro the best but all three are very popular and well reviewed, so let me know what you think!
