Recording my own songs

[idssdi]

I wrote some songs a couplen years ago. The backing track will be a guitar pro 6 file and i will record my guitar part with the built-in mic from my macbook. Is Any body interesting in hearing them?

 

[Filip Tomiša]

Sure why not. Upload them!

 

[Richard O'connor]

Yeah upload them.

 

[idssdi]

Cool! I have to relearn some of them. Ill record them after I am finished with my exams.

 

[TheMighty Jambi]

Sweet! Looking forward to hearing them. I can never get enough music and love seeing everyone’s paying and different styles.

 

[Jake Young]

Put em up dude!!

 

[John Tierney]

How does one make their own song. I’m trying to go that route but not sure how to get it to sound unique usually I deliver it sounding similar (lyrics). Doing the music part I struggle with that a bit too. Any advice (first time trying this)

 

[Lenore M]

Yes! Interested. Put them up.

 

[Richard O'connor]

[idssdi]

[Richard O'connor]

Absolutely! I’d also recommend exporting the GP file’s individual instruments to MIDI, and using a program like EZDrummer to make the drums sound more realistic, but that involves cost and learning – but do take that as a takeaway. I did this song that way (this was a REALLY fast kamikaze thing – written on the fly while I was recording, with minimal passes – Idea to finished in less than 12 hours.

You can do a lot of really great, near-professional sounding work at home with minimal equipment investment if you take your time and learn the craft. Good luck!
