Some more "Guitar Rubbish"

[robin]

Thanks Tony, Stan, Andrew, Andy and Dedman, whether I think it deserves it or not its always nice to get positive feedback.

@Andy
Basically I haven't touched the latest build for about 2 months. I guess I have been a bit apprehensive about whether it will work at all and didn't want to feel like it was a waste of time. But I am starting to get that itch again, and thinking that even if it doesn't work I have learned a lot that I can take away from this build so I figure that I will get started on it again sometime soon. The sooner it is finished the sooner I will know, and then I can start research for the next project.

@Dedman
I should hope you would set your sights higher than that mate. ;P

Cheers Guys, much appreciated.

Interesting and not unlike how I write stories, particularly the not knowing where it's going bit and the never ending edits LOL

Yeah Dedman, I guess that's why writing and music are "art" and not science. There is no right or wrong way, just the way that works for you.

that was a really interesting description of your process, thanks for the insight Rob

Thanks for the reply Robin, I have the MT drums & both drum mica packages and the PC has the grunt to handle them but I haven't worked out how to trigger them yet.

There is a scripting too for Reaper that allows you to trigger a midi from an audio file and then add one drum / cymbal at a time using a midi drum plugin, I have been playing with this and it's pretty intuitive but a long process.

The reason I am particularly interested in being able to do this is because one of our originals is in a straight 4 at 148bpm but because it has a rolling shanty feel the accents move from bar to bar so a bit like 12/8 but it's not.

As a consequence programming the midi drums beat by beat is a painful process that takes forever.

I was advised of the script in the Reaper forum where I asked " is it possible to trigger midi drums from an audio file " you will find I have a post with a similar title in the Recording In Progress sub forum where I describe how to use the script.

User name on both of these forums is suthol my usual forum name.

Loved the tone of the P90's on song 3 and also liked the traditional Tele on song 1. Top effort all 6 and easy to listen to.

@Stan,
No probs mate, hope it made sense.

@Dave,
Still has me scratching my head Dave, I will have to check out your Thread on the Reaper forums. Like most software programs, I am barely capable of scratching the surface.

@Wazza
Thanks mate.

I'll let you in on a little secret. Before I started making guitars I was a Gibson man through and through, and the one thing I knew for sure was that I would never want to build a Tele and I had never even heard of a P90. Now 3 years later, Tele's are my favourite guitar and I just fell instantly in love with P90's the first time I started playing them. Geez, I must be getting old. lol.

Gday Robin,

Wander downstairs to the Home Recording forum here for a bit more, it really is a work in progress though
