So….I am learning the ropes with all these fantastic tools here and I feel I am going to be charting more than just the one song I started with in another thread. In fact, I am currently working on many different ones. Figured I would start this thread instead of doing a separate post for each song.

My process so far has been like this….
After I feel I have a good tempo map (IMPORTANT!) I chart the drums by hand. I do it all by sound first, then if a midi does exist I use that for reference. Call me crazy but I enjoy it this part of it
Trying to do vocals by hand was tough at first, but I think I am getting the hang of it (prolly gonna suck lol). Not sure about the DRYVOX thing. My mic sounds like I’m talking through a pillow for some reason. Gonna have to find a way around this somehow.
I will do bass and guitar if a good midi falls in my lap but I am really not interested in doing those by hand. I’m all for it if someone wants to collaborate. If I have multitracks, I’ll do both guitar and bass (which is what I am doing with a few songs).
Testing process has been interesting. Tweaking the overdrive and things took some learning but I hope I have it down now. Watching others test your stuff is quite satisfying!
Cant stress enough the importance of that tempo map!
For the drums I am reducing the level of difficulty by hand, but for bass I am using CAT in Reaper.
I find that working on just one custom at a time is ok for a few days, then I seem to go batshit crazy by hearing the same song repeatedly so I have to switch it up.
I will update the thread again when I am able to report something significant.
Thanks for reading!

” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />‘Cause people have had enough of silly love songs…
I have Styx – Lights at the finalizing stage. It just needs Harmonies and Keys at this point
Excellent! Thanks for that one. Cant wait to see it! I’ll update my list.
The Korn cover is pretty good, but my friend is a purest and wants the original so I guess I’m making it.
Status update.
Cameo and 3 Dokken songs in testing phase. Also completed tempo mapping on Steely Dan – FM, working on instruments.
LOL !
