Hi! You can check where reaper find VST plugins and add folder paths to where reaper checks for VST plugins by going to the "Options" drop down menu on the top. Then in the left window with the list you will find "VST" almost at the bottom of that list. On the top it will show you the "VST plug in paths) There's a button under there to the right which says "Edit path list..." there you can add folders reaper should check for plugins. Then you have to scan for them to show up.

@@EV_Music That's amazing cheers, though I got that far after I commented. I still have no sound. It looks plug and play in the video, like you install the stuff and plug in the drumpad. I've been messing around for over an hour and can't get a single sound out of it. I'll maybe just send it back.

@@j.m5888 Two things come to mind. Nr 1: You're adding VST's to a normal track. The input for the track should be set to "Midi" You can find a setting there called "All Midi Inputs" and then choose "All Channels" for your track input. Another way to just add VST instruments is by right clicking down where your tracks are and choose "Insert virtual instrument on new track" and I believe it then should automatically set the input to "All Midi Channels" As I commented on you're other comment, it might be a setting in the plugin. You could test that by installing Spitfire Audios "LABS", that is a VST management software. Almost like "Steam" for games. But all those LABS instruments are free and of very good quality, especially for bein free. You can find out how to get startet with that here: www.spitfireaudio.com/getting-started-labs I believe that if you install those instruments in their default path, that reaper will find them. On the LABS plugin you can easily see that "Midi Ch: ..." is a setting on the top there. So by installing something like the "Soft Piano" that they have and setting the "Midi Ch:" to "Any". Then that should work.

@@EV_MusicThanks for trying to help, it's hella complicated. I right-click and add 'Insert virtual instrument on new track', like the video. With that I set Input: MIDI - MPD218 - Channel 10 / All Channels, nothing.

​@@j.m5888 I get your frustration man, I've been messing around with audio stuff for a long time. And it's such a hassle having to deal with all the programs and devices when all you want is to just make some music :/ Since you mentioned that it's a laptop though, I would guess your setup is fairly portable. So if you have a local music gear store, you might try taking it there and ask if someone there knows.

Do you have any other midi devices that work? Like a keyboard? If you have other devices making sound and not the MPD that's a little strange. It could be the plugin that you are trying to use though. I know that some plugins need to have a setting for what midi channel they are using to work. For example I use "Kontakt" which is a sort of VST instrument loader. It has a setting called something like "Midi Ch:" Where I have to change it from whatever it says to "Omni" which I believe just means "All" and then it starts to work. So it might be a setting in the plugin that you are trying to use. Hope that helps! 😁

@@EV_Music I tried to get Reaper running on Ubuntu first, but all the proprietary software forced me onto an old Windows laptop I keep for emergencies. The VU shows input from the MPD, but no sound in any configuration. I imagined the default would be what's plugged in (headphones) but nothing. In the video it's plug in, pick a channel and that's it, but I must be missing something.

Thanks man! 😊I'm sorry but I don't have any tabs. I used this as a starting point: www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/mars-red-sky-strong-reflection-tab-s436742 and then I watched live videos of Mars Red Sky playing it to figure out the stuff I thought sounded wrong and off. So you could use the same approach to figure it out 😁

@@EV_Music Thanks for your response, i try to do so but im not skilled for that 😂 i will continue ;) i'll see them on June 8 !

It can take a little while to figure out songs that way, but it's really satisfying when you do😁Enjoy the concert man! I hope I get to see them live one day as well 😊

Blizzard beast is officially my new spirit animal now 😄🤘And have a great birthday man! 🍻

Took me some time to get into black metal as well, Immortal was the first one that really clicked for me too 😁

🤘

One by One first 😁

@@EV_Music All time classic 🤘🤘

😁

Thanks again! Creaking string noise is just me being lazy and bad though 😅

🤘😄

Glad you liked it! 😁

I'm getting back into UA-cam soon, but I want to start making videos about making original music. But I have "In my kingdom cold" and "One by One" figured out so I might do those.

@@EV_Music Well you might as well just do a series on the entire Sons album! Then after that, while you're working on your DiB series (my fave), I encourage you to consider some selections from either of Demonaz's last two awesome Immortal albums. lol thanks!

Glad you liked it! And I totally agree, a lot of people say Abbath is a bad and sloppy guitar player. I disagree, being to drunk and drugged up to play live is one thing, but the dude got skills. Sons of Northern Darkness is definitely in my top 5 metal albums of all time.

Thanks! 🤘

Thanks for the comment! But I'm sorry to say that I probably wont do any more song lessons. Going to start doing content around writing original music, Old Man's Child is some good stuff though 😊

@@EV_Music I understand you.. if at some point you have time to do that guitar lesson On through the desert storm, it would be great, and good luck with your project

Thanks! 😁

Thanks for the comment! And I totally agree 😁

Thanks! 🤘

Palm muting 🙂

@@EV_Music Thanks)

Glad it helped! 😁👍

I use a Quad Cortex directly into my interface (Focusrite). The guitar is double tracked, so you are hearing two guitars playing exactly the same. One guitar coming only from the left speaker, and the other from the right. This does a lot for the sound. I also highpass the guitars with an EQ somewhere between 100-200 hertz usually, and elevate slightly somewhere between 2,5k-6k. Also worth mentioning is that a Quad Cortex is a expensive piece of gear and not needed for good tones, If I were buying something today I would be looking into the ToneX pedal.

thanks@@EV_Music

Thanks! 🤘

Thanks! 😁

I did a lesson for this song, it's in D standard. I believe it could be done in drop D. Here's the lesson video: ua-cam.com/video/Ui-C88Cx3yg/v-deo.html
