All Cool Blind Tech Shows

Discovering and promoting new music is something that Has become easier than ever before with SoundCloud,. In this podcast, Justin takes us through how to do just that. He proceeds to look at his music stream, shamelessly promote some of his own music, and explain what playlists and radio stations are, as well as how to use them.

In part 4 of REAPER, we record a simple multi-track music project using VST plugins, MIDI drums, guitar amp simulators and some equalizers.

Remember that in Part 3, we created our tracks and made a guitar folder to make things simpler to quickly navigate the tracks in your project. In Part 4, we proceed to record two guitar tracks as well as a bass track. After, we briefly learn about the master track and limiters.

PS: This episode is noticeably quieter than previous ones. This is because of the nature of demonstrating effects. I didn't want to degrade the properties of a limiter and other things.

Apple's shake to undo feature allows the user to shake the iOS device and then press a button if they want an action to be undone. The only problem with this however, is that this feature has a tendency to be activated by accident, causing much annoyance and frustration. As a result, Justin shows us how to turn this feature off in the settings app.

Part 3 is finally here. Alex shows some preliminary configuration options for setting up REAPER to record music on Windows. This includes per-project media folders and using the metronome. He also quickly blabs about MIDI devices.

Stay tuned for part 4 where we record an actual bit of music. PS: A vocal mixing episode is in the future, as well as basic external effect mixing and processing. All from a hard rock and metal musician prospective, of course. :)
