continuation on music production AUDACITY for the light users and basicly anyone!!

my previous blogpost did mention on what i use to do raw demo for the band arsoniste. From there, that inspires me to give a tutorial. hihihihi. 10 steps to create ur own music! :p :p

1.) u need audacity (it's less than 5mb excellent!!) to record ur track by tracks. audacity create different tracks during recording. up to i don't know but i've done more than 20 tracks mixed together and it's still okayh! plus, it's really user friendly!! can do allsorts of effects to ur sounds anytime u want. u just gotta explore it's functions.

2.) if u don't have a vdrums, fruityloops is the solution(although it still sounds digitalish~). it combines different types of drum loops base on what u like and "design it urself" patterns! den create ur own playlist. for more info on how to use this, visit utube. ;p ;p ;p

3.) u nid a palak guitar cable to palak microphone size converter thingy. can be found at electrical shop for rm2. :p the concept? line in recording. so that u don't get weird noise coming in while recording externally. xD

4.) for vocals, same concept as instruments step 3. BUT, use earphones for playback instead. THIS IS A MUST. because the mic can capture ur playback sound if it's on speaker like dohhh. hihihihi.

5.) record dem all! one by one!

6.) adjust the volumes, once done mixing it will be split into stereo sound. so u can play around on what sound keluar on ur left and right speakers. hihihihi.

7.) mix around, be creative if u wanna.

8.) the outcome?? ur own home music production! pretty light! hihi.

9.) okayh, there's no nid for step 9 and 10. hehehe...

the outcome?? check this out. (sorry me use videocam to record) my laptop is just plain dumb cannot multitask use camstudio.




practise makes perfect. 1st time doin this my sound sux, took me 8 hours to do junk! hehehe. now? i ordy know my settings so record the whole thing takes less than an hour. boooyaaaaa mintak puji.

MP3 version on how it really sounds like. the video above is just crappy external sound. hehehe

compare to the original artist.down here. sini2




saya guna computer convenient all in 1, while artist guna studio equipments thousand2 dollars. so quality-wise definitely mine 1 star artist 5 stars. hihiihi.

p/s: so that's why home demo is used for fun. xDDD

This is how we do it. ekekekkeeke

My/our version on how we create a new song

1.) Start off with me main2 guitar, test2 riff here der, and Pearl will say keep that/dont keep that. Brainstorming starts with the guitar.

2.) once done, me do pilot(test2) drumloop using fruityloops.



3.) put in the other parts guitars/bass/drums and lyrics(all of it just pilot guitar parts) lyrics normally past to pearl coz she's good in making emo lyrics. LOLLLL. lyrics and melody step is the best! so fun and funny. lolzllzlzlzlz.(oh ya before we susa2 do lyrics, we let the rest listen to the melody first. Alex will comment whether the song is lame/not. Qeeya will be the cop SIRIM, as in whether he sense any plagiarism or not. lolzlzlzlzllz

4.) d raw demo is completed by using Audacity(thanx to drummer eclipse for recommending me this very user friendly track by track music software.



5.) distribute to all the bandmates to listen and create their own drumloops, lead guitar, how the vocals can be better etc2..

6.) test2 jamming..

7.) test2 bawa pegi gig

8.) do proper demo recording in studio if we love it!!

well, that's how Arsoniste - Within The Broken Path was created. future original materials may vary. hehehhe. Alex has his materials already which i love alot! myself got another one too. I'm waiting for school holidays do all this. hehhehehe. So, that does not mean we're fading away. It's just time factor and doing things base on priority. xDDD

p/s: therefore people, to create new songs doesn't need to have all band mates to be at the same place at all time. busy2 nei also can ma. can do it in the comfort of own home. hihihi. It's easy for pearl and i because we constantly chat online almost everynite. LOLZLZLZ. Why do we create raw demo? Well, not to be released actualy, so that it's easier for the other bandmates to 'get' the song.
