So I finally purchased an audio interface, the Berhinger umc 202.
And I have to say that I’m very glad with the results so far, not just regarding with the interface itself but also with the laptop, which I thought wasn’t gonna be able to cope with the recording.
Anyways, yesterday I recorded this little tune which is basically the drums and chords of The Eagles’ Hotel California’s verse and I added some soloing using two different guitar setups in Cakewalk. I also used my little keyboard, which I bought when I enrolled in the Music Theory course to help me understand stuff better. I played a “spread” for each chord alongside with an arpegio (thanks Arpegiator xD).
Also, a very kind guy led me use his drums track, you can find the link to his video in the description. He provides a link to download it in an mp3 file.
I hope you like it or at least your ears don’t suffer too much!
That was fabulous, José. You did a good job on the backing and really enjoyed the solos, both the way you played and the tones. Certainly no suffering in listening to that.
Yes, super glad. I only could afford this little behringer and it’s good value for money. Just what I needed for my playing about…
Thanks for your kind words, people like you make this place as comfortable as it possibly could be
Well done, José. Congratulations on delving into recording with your new audio interface. Sounding good; I think you’re well on your way with it. Also cool that you explored a couple of different tones and are looking into the music theory behind the playing. Keep it up!
I had recorded the keyboards the previous day and then, I improvised for an hour or so and came up with an overall feel and phrasing so I could record comfortably.
