    This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for someone running through simple construction from scratch. I learned more here in 15 minutes than in literally years of looking at lessons in Garageband and Logic. Plus, it was all done with a great sense of humour and let's face it you have to have that if you're a musician! Well done RJ, thanks and I guess I'll be seeking out more of your vids.

    I use the Fishman Tripleplay MIDI pickup and play Omnisphere softsynths, it doesn't write MIDI, it records the synth audio, which is aux sent to outboard effects, so Reverb most of the time, tracked simultaneously. EZD as well, but mostly done in the song creator. Sometimes cymbals, sometimes triangles get written out in MIDI. the performance editor let's you add/remove specific drums, and it will rotate through patterns if you adjust the number of hits. mixed FL Studio, all PC based, RME interfaces. Surface Pro 4 with 2 add screens. Great fun!

    Hi great video!! Will you do a tutorial on how to creat a medley of pre-made backing tracks... let’s say you take three ready made tracks of different tempos and run one into another by adding the appropriate drum and instrument fills.. is love to see how this is done because i normally take a verse from each track and overlap it, fading one into the next for my one piece vocal gig but obviously doesn’t sound as good if I were to use the correct fills in between...

    Hey R.J, thanks for the video. I have a question for yourself or any other person. I'd like to have a jam with my brother using backing tracks. He's on the drums and I'm on the guitar. I want to have a backing track with Vocals (too hard to sing and play sometimes), a Rhythm guitar and some kind of click track for the drums / timing which is the hardest part. I did one ages ago but could never get the timing right it's seems too hard. Is a click track a snare or metronome sound, what's the best thing to use and does it have to be a lot louder than the other stuff in the mix? It'd be so awesome if I could get it right. Cheers.
