#musicjournal #mixingjournal
So, it’s basically 1:47AM when I start recording this in which I can’t sleep and kind of bored.
Instead, I make this video showing you how my creative process starts when I want to make music, or bored, or just basically wanting to practice. I’m using logic pro x as my choice of DAW, in case if you don’t know what DAW is, it’s a Digital Audio Workstation. The easiest terms would be recording software.Â
I don’t have a midi controller or keyboard so everything I do usually just by drawing the notes. It’s a simple method and you have basic music theory in general. For start, I always have a template of creating 4 instruments/midi track, and 1 audio track for my bass. Those 4 midi tracks consists of Arturia Electric Piano VST (Virtual instruments), and the rest is for the drums.
Now, Logic have a tons amount of electric drums samples to work on but I always prefer the kit pieces where I can put one for a single track, like the kick one track, the snare drum one track, and the hi-hat. That way, I can have more control over each individual track better on the next stage rather than to have on track that is full with one drum samples (kick, snare, etc in one track).
As for the bass itself, it’s directly recorded from my interfaces. I don’t use any head amps or any kind of pedals. Straight bass directly to my interfaces and into logic.
Hopefully you can see what I do the process get’s longer, looking for ideas, looking for the notes for the chords, etc. In the end, it’ll just be a long jamming searching for that one idea that might stick as a composition.
This is just how I do it. There’s no right or wrong on this part of the process.
