The classic newby thread
Hi Gang, this is one of those "how do I" newbie threads that just drive the experts nuts. So if you are one of those types, please be patient.
I am pretty darn new to recording of any kind, and just started with computer recording. I used Audacity for a bit, and now am very happy to be using REAPER.
I have two basic things I want to do, but having a hard time trying to get going:
1) basic drums. I tried installing grizzly with no luck. can anyone suggest a simplistic drum plug-in for me to get started? I just want to do various beats for backing tracks.
2) basic amp modelling. I want to lay down some simple guitar tracks with basic tube amp modelling. Any suggestions?
If anyone can point me to tutorials or introductions for this type of stuff, it would be greatly appreciated. I already went through the REAPER videos, they are really good.
thanks for the help.
M

Drumatic is pretty good... http://www.e-phonic.com/plugins/drumatic3.php
for amp modeling, I would suggest trying the included effect "JS: guitar/amp-model". Pop that in your guitar track, choose a model, reduce the preamp gain to -12dB or so, and try it out.. you can also try JS: guitar/distortion before the modeling, or JS: delay/delay, and so on...

The combination of Suburban Guitarist and Freeamp2 is quite a killer. But I guess you've got the guitar already.

Hey Mickey, Here's a handy, lightweight, easy to use little drum sampler, it comes with it's own samples, or you can load your own.
Scroll down to
Drum Sampler II

The afore mentioned JS guitar plugs are good. Juicyt 77 is very good, but is quite the cpu hog.
For drums, I'd probably go for a sample player, such as SFZ:

and some free drum soundfonts. They're easily found on the net. Try a web search for "free drum soundfont".
