MetalRenard's Music Tutorial Thread - Videos! - MetalRenard - 01-10-2012

[Image: Logo.png]

Hey guys! Your friendly neighbourhood fox here!
I recently started a Youtube Channel on which I've been publishing music, but tons of people have asked me for advice on
anything from how to get a good guitar tone to how to actually produce music.
In response to this demand, I've decided to do a bunch of tutorials based on questions people ask, and because
you guys are awesome, I thought I'd make a thread for you here too.




Video Tutorial 1: Getting Started!


Video Tutorial 2: EQ Basics!


Thanks for watching, and I hope the tutorials prove to be helpful for
those of you interested in composition, recording and production!

I am sure this will be handy for quite a few people =D
Thanks for taking some time for this ^^ Even tough I have none of the programms you mentioned and thus it'll probably not do me anything good I appreciate the thought. ^^

As for free screen recording software, that's a bit tricky. Hypercam2 would be a suggestion. It's easy to use, I worked with it for quite some time. Drawbacks are that the quality is not perfect and that you can't record sound. (At least you could not back when I used it.) Also, there is a watermark in the corner.
BSR Screen Recorder would be one of those programms that you have to buy but there is also a free version. I haven't used that in a while so I can't remember what the drawbacks on that were, but I think it was only the watermark. Someone correct me if this is wrong.

I will discuss programs -and- production, so even if you don't have the software you can still ask me stuff on that.
For example:
My music sounds muddy, how do I fix it?
:)

Thanks for recommending that software. I just found a good free one (records in HD too), called CamStudio.

Video Tutorial 1: Getting Started!

This tutorial is very helpful, I've downloaded the Reaper trial now :D

Your voice was nice and clear in the tutorial, but it was damn near impossible to hear any of the samples you made in the program. It will probably take a while to get used to the interface, coming from FL Studio myself, but it seems to be that both the programs can essentially do the same things, it just looks different. With that said, a starting musician would probably do well to use Reaper, its way cheaper than FL and I don't think anyone would be missing out by spending less.

Thanks Kain! And thanks for the feedback, that's very helpful. I'll make the instruments louder next time.
Personally... I -Hate- FL studio.

Oh and in the video I couldn't say it but I hinted at it (the long pause? haha) but when the trial period for Reaper is over YOU CAN STILL USE IT. It's not legal but the software still works fully non-stop.

I paid for it myself, but you do what you want.

Sweat the fox is still growing in power!

Soon someday your and my armies will collide in an epic so Huge that the jupiter will fall out of orbit.
I only hope that the Chords dont torture you to much.[My robots, they are sadistic like theyre creator marion]

I thought that was weird too why exactly does it persist?


RE: MetalRenard's Music Tutorial Thread - Videos! - MetalRenard - 02-04-2012

It doesn't stop for a simple reason - The guys who make it do NOT want to create BROKEN software. They're very clear with this. Their idea is that they prefer to trust people to pay them for their software than for people to create cracks for it anyway.

I think they're spot on. :)


RE: MetalRenard's Music Tutorial Thread - Videos! - RosyPosy - 02-04-2012

That makes sense. Most people will indeed pay for it.

Its proven science that protectiveness creates an odd need to poke at it or steal it simply cause they protect it so hard.Feel like an insult to not be trusted.


RE: MetalRenard's Music Tutorial Thread - Videos! - MetalRenard - 02-04-2012

Well Reaper is fundamentally better simply for this reason:
''32-bit floating point audio engine'' for mixcraft, whereas Reaper's engine is 64bit.

Other points that Reaper wins at:
- Reaper comes with hundreds of effects, Mixcraft only 22
- Price (Only $60 for Reaper)
- Reaper can render video

Not only that, but Reaper is often compared to supposedly "high end" DAWs and comes out on top.

That's not important though. What's important is what -you- are comfortable with. :)
