Thanks.

You are welcome.  Thanks for listening.

Joe, what an interesting recording!

You are very creative, again another new Hillbilly Joe sound. 

It would be great if you could describe a little bit how you organized this recording with all the different sounds.

Thanks for sharing, Birgit

@hillbilly_joe   It was a pleasure.

That's very cool! Groovy.

Nicely done! Cool... like a winter wind!

I think my playing ( or attempt to play ) is like the wind, always changing.

What I do or at least try to do is color my notes with what I think sounds fitting for the FX's I use. I generally stay with a slight reverb, delay, compressor and something called a filter.

I record the drums first ( real drums, but not by me. provided by riffworks, yes they cost, not much though )  Then I record the rhythm track clean and then experiment with sounds that fit my thoughts and record then. After that I put in the lead guitar with a variation of sounds also.  Since I lack in some ( many ) parts of music playing, I honestly try to color my stuff with sounds. I try not to hide my mistakes though by throwing in sounds. Its kind of really just pure playing from the heart, I think so anyway.

Hey jestme

Well, I do try to expand my musical thoughts on a higher landscape.  LOL

Thank you, Joe, for your explanations. I think talking about our recording tools is very interesting for many of our members.

On the other hand this is a way to get new information (in your case on « riffworks ») for trying out new things.

Am I right that you are working with REAPER?

Thanks Birgit

Hi Brigit

Yes, you should try Riffworks. It comes with a set of drums that are actually done by real drum players. And you can buy more drums also. Its a recording tool like Reaper actually. I sometimes export what I'm doing on Riffworks into Reaper to get another type of wave track on the one I put into Reaper. It usually ends up just being a fun project. Just like to experiment with Reaper's installed FX's.  I need to install some plugins now, not sure which ones to chose from, so many free ones these days.

A few people on here use Reaper and they know the ins and outs of it, for me, not yet.
