Make Your Own Music! - Tutorial 1: Getting Started (Reaper + Instruments + Midi)

[TheRealMadJack]

Finally someone who has a clue on how to properly do a tutorial, starting at the first rung. Thank you!

BTW, the link to SampleTank points to reaper's site, not ikmultimedia's. ;)

[MetalRenardMusic]

@TheRealMadJack Thank you for point that out, I fixed it now!

And thanks for the kind words too!

I can't download the Kore 2 Player because "The KORE product range has been discontinued." =(

[Sixstreem]

@Sixstreem ...And i dont understand why my SampleTank browser is empty on my computer... ;/

[MetalRenardMusic]

@Sixstreem Make sure you installed the libraries in the right place.

[MetalRenardMusic]

@Sixstreem That's unusual. Are you sure? Try this link:

co () native-instruments () com/a6ofdv8h () demo

It may be an issue with registration but I think works fine even if you don't register it.

[Sixstreem]

@MetalRenardMusic Thanks for the link to Kore Player. I did install SampleTank 2.5 again, and made sure it was right destination folder and all and tried to scan the folder in Reaper many many times, but it just doesn't seem to work. Wonder what's the problem. But, i can deal without it anyways =) ...I guess. Now I'm going to try to make some music! =P

[MetalRenardMusic]

@Sixstreem Awesome! Then when you do, post it as a video link to this tutorial and I'll check it out!

I installed everythiong, but when i put instruments at 5:11 theres no plugins... i mean there are but just a few... and not the ones that ur using..

[MetalRenardMusic]

@MegaPinpon Did you do the step at 4:19 ? :)

[MegaPinpon]

@MetalRenardMusic yes i did

[MetalRenardMusic]

@MegaPinpon Which instruments aren't appearing?

[TheInconvenientPanda]

reaper FTW!!!

[Netak26]

I came here because of HERO, nice music btw, I love music so much and seeing someone who made it for hero is by far my hero ^_^

[YurttheSilentChief1]

that one guy who disliked misclicked

[MetalRenardMusic]

@YurttheSilentChief1 I sure hope so. It's the first dislike I've had on my entire channel. ^^

[SgtYayap]

Wasn't familiar with Reaper until this video. Nice tutorial!

As a Kontakt user, myself, I would like to emphasize the fact that there is the problem of editing in Kontakt Player being virtually prohibited; editing is limited to 15 minutes, and you can't load an instrument that you changed in Kontakt Player. :P

I think you did inspire me to make my own video tutorial, though! ;)

[MetalRenardMusic]

@SgtYayap Incorrect. You simply have to -Register-. Then all limitations are lifted. Thanks for the comment. :)

[SgtYayap]

@MetalRenardMusic Oh. My mistake. You're welcome! :)

[barrieobv]

I'm very intrigued now...

Looking forward to the next instalment in these tutorials.

[MrInstrumentalist]

Great tutorial man. I applaud anyone that gives their time to teach others

[MetalRenardMusic]

@MrInstrumentalist My original plans were actually to become a teacher! Now I'm a professional musician, but I still want to teach, so I really enjoy this kind of thing.

Thanks for the kind words mate, it means a lot.

[hideyahkids]

youre voice is really cool

[MetalRenardMusic]

@hideyahkids Thanks! I sing the song in the intro too...

[hideyahkids]

@MetalRenardMusic it doesnt look like you

[MetalRenardMusic]

@hideyahkids It doesn't look like me? haha what do you mean? ^^

[hideyahkids]

@MetalRenardMusic the song in the intro.....it doesnt look like your voice

[MetalRenardMusic]

@hideyahkids Haha well that's because that's my singing voice. Plus in the context of a song everything sounds different thanks to mixing and effects.
