|
| Well guys, I've decided to write a short
| |
| | and all new in 2.5, the mastering
|
| article on how to make music with your
| |
| | devices. I'm not going to get into this
|
| computer. When I started out, I couldn't
| |
| | too much, because there's just too much
|
| find anything to help me. I didn't know
| |
| | to tell in this article. If you're
|
| what to buy, or where to start. Hopefully
| |
| | interested in using REASON, I recommend
|
| this short article will help you in your
| |
| | that you get the tutorial CD-ROM from
|
| quest to making music a fun and
| |
| | M-AUDIO. It will give you a good idea of
|
| productive hobby or future profession.
| |
| | how to get started with REASON, and if
|
| Loops and SONY ACID Software
| |
| | you think that it will be good for you.
|
| When I first started to create music I
| |
| | Putting it all together
|
| used SONIC FOUNDRY'S ACID MUSIC 3.0. It's
| |
| | The great thing about the two pieces of
|
| a piece of software that enables you to
| |
| | software that I talked about in the
|
| create music with loops. Loops are small
| |
| | previous two paragraphs is this:
|
| pieces of music, like a drum line or
| |
| | - You can use ACID for all your loops
|
| synth line. These loops are only a few
| |
| | - You can use ACID to record vocals and
|
| seconds long, but, obviously, they loop.
| |
| | or guitars if you have the equipment
|
| This means that you can draw the loop in
| |
| | - You can use ACID to render your final
|
| for 30 seconds, 60 seconds, whatever
| |
| | recording to mp3, wav, aiff, and more
|
| length you'd like with no distortion or
| |
| | - You can use REASON to program patterns
|
| other strange noises when the loop starts
| |
| | for drums, synths, etc.
|
| over at the beginning. There are many
| |
| | (Keep in mind that these two programs can
|
| websites and companies that create loops
| |
| | do way more than what's displayed above)
|
| for production use. A lot of them are
| |
| | The coolest part of this whole thing is
|
| Royalty Free; this means that you can use
| |
| | that you can connect these two programs.
|
| them in commercial (for-profit) songs.
| |
| | Using a technology named "REWIRE",
|
| Each of the companies that create these
| |
| | created by PROPELLERHEADS you can have
|
| loops has their own license, which you'll
| |
| | both of these applications synchronized.
|
| want to read if you're going to release
| |
| | Add a loop in ACID, make a pattern in
|
| an album. The license is usually just a
| |
| | REASON, and have them play back together.
|
| set of rules or terms that say what you
| |
| | When you're done, you can render in ACID
|
| can and can't do with a loop. Most the
| |
| | to have the synchronized music as one
|
| time you can use these Royalty Free loops
| |
| | file, or track.
|
| in commercial recordings, but you can't,
| |
| | Wait! I have no sound
|
| for example, resell the loops by
| |
| | Okay, so now you have the software to
|
| themselves. You have to abide by the
| |
| | start creating some awesome music. So the
|
| license.
| |
| | thing you're missing is sound, speakers,
|
| As far as I know SONIC FOUNDRY was bought
| |
| | headphones, etc. I use an external sound
|
| out by SONY, so if you're looking for
| |
| | card by M-AUDIO, called OMISTUDIO USB.
|
| this software....
| |
| | This thing connects to my pc with the USB
|
| - Do a search for ACID PRO, or visit the
| |
| | port. It has two headphone connections
|
| link at the bottom of the article
| |
| | and two instrument/mic connections with
|
| - There are different versions of the
| |
| | preamp power. It also contains several
|
| software; one of the versions is
| |
| | speaker connections, as well as other
|
| absolutely FREE
| |
| | connections for mixers, etc.
|
| The Reason to create
| |
| | There are several different types of
|
| The piece of software I'd like to talk
| |
| | these external sound machines. Most of
|
| about in this section is PROPELLERHEADS
| |
| | them are either USB or FireWire. Most
|
| REASON. This piece of software is much
| |
| | have headphone, speaker, and mic
|
| different than ACID. REASON is focused
| |
| | connections and come with the necessary
|
| less on loops, and more on programming.
| |
| | drivers for your computer.
|
| When I say programming, I mean using
| |
| | It's all over
|
| individual sounds, for example, a kick
| |
| | I hope that this short article gave you
|
| drum, snare, or piano sound. You then use
| |
| | some ideas to start making music. I plan
|
| the awesome devices to create patterns.
| |
| | on writing more articles as time permits.

| REASON includes a powerful list of
