yes have the parts ready first, then comping and maybe 4 takes as a compositional tool, then as you arrange you can use different takes in different spots :)
YES! Exactly - that is what I am talking about. Except, I tend to just keep the good parts and throw out the rest. Life is too short for alternate takes....😂
Great video! 3:26 🤣 I practice all my tracks before I record them on my Roland TD17 KVX. I only use 'single' takes without any editing - that's why I'm fine with just one camera angle. It's cool to know which different ways exist in Logic. 🤘🤘🤘
Yeah - drums would be super hard to cut in sections without making it obvious. Always great to see you on here! Look forward to collaborating as discussed in the near future!
I'm a big fan of getting the take right. It tends to sound less authentic when you edit and combine takes. I do like the track alternative for writing and trying to find the next section etc.
Yeah - I know right? I am kinda stubborn that way - I would rather play the whole song and get it right than chop it up into little pieces. It's the fun part of why I do this. That said, there are times when I just need to 'get the job done' - usually when I am doing some TV thing where is needs to be in 'yesterday' but I agree 100%. I've never really used any of the comping things, even the track alts, maybe one day... I guess I am an old dog who doesn't want new tricks.... Thanks for commenting!
I use a two track method similar to yours and pretty much for the same reasons, even though I usually don’t have a hard deadline. I find it to be a much faster way to accomplish the same thing.
Agree, agree, agree!! Yeah - sometimes they package up all this stuff to be helpful, and it just ends up wasting more time. Glad you're on the same wavelength as me on this - You get it!! Thanks for your comment!
All the way comping here. And after everything: Flatten all comps, hit 'F', delete unused files, 'Project Management/Cleanup'. Gives back a LOT of space.
You are a good steward of your sessions.... Many of us move on to the next thing - beginners especially, then they wonder why they are out of hard drive space. 😂 Yeah, it really boils down to what workflow works for you and if it is efficient, like I said in the video, if it is working for you, go for it! Thanks for commenting!
I think you play (ed) in a band. With PC you have to feel what a bass player does, what a drummer does etc. The same rec in two minutes results fake and, over all, not musical. Write music! It's the best part! Or do the BB King way: play with others who write music and improvise.
Ha! Yeah - I hear you, I have written well over 10k pieces of music, many of them have all the feel and intention and musicality you're talking about. This is a shredder piece meant to be over the top, and the illustration of playing for hours was a gaffe. If this were a blues piece or a yacht rock piece then I'd have all the feel and musicality you're talking about (although when I was in PC, there was a song 'Drums In The Night' where Dave & I traded bass and guitar, and we did a flamenco break down in the song that did shred - then I did a subsequent shred on electric to finish the song - people loved it!). Truth is, my musical roots are more 70's to hard progressive music, classical (which can definitely shred), Zappa, Queen, all sorts of heavy metal, and way out there avant garde music. The weirder and more complex it is, the more I like it. I am also a big fan of music from all over the world that can be very unique and rhythmic. So, hopefully that gives you some insight on where I am coming from! Thanks for commenting!!

You should do a follow up on that idea, it doesn't come across that way in this video

thanks for posting man!
Great to see you again! You're quite welcome!
Those tapping licks are awesome
Thanks! They are lots of fun too!

Vielen Dank👍 aus Berlin
You're welcome! I love Berlin, we need to come back there!
to use or not to use (far ma nach Toulouse) that's is the question now 🙂
It is all in your hands....Thanks for commenting!

Only way I record
Which? Cycle record or duplicate tracks??
