what kind of mic did you use on the vocals they sound great

[lucky6828]

Thank you dkrumrie123 , it is an old AKG C4000.

[PreacherofArrakeen]

Impressive. How did you do the drums? On an electric kit, hitting keys in realtime, step-write, or a combination? I am just starting to learn Logic's tricks. Light years ahead of my last sequencer, Cubasis. 5 stars. One more question: how long did it take you to put this together?

Thanks,

PoA

Thank You PreacherofArrakeen

The drums are made with stylus rmx software which i use as a plugin in logic studio.These are actualy a drum loops which you can edit just like a midi notes , cool thing.

I think it was all recorded one afternoon but I´m not sure , maybe two.

Keep on rocking

@PreacherofArrakeen you didn't understand me^^ it's the quality that comes from the equipment, so the quality is just as good as the engineer is. But the music output shows how much the musician feels his song. And for me, working with software-synths etc. is like drawing without a pencil..

Hendrix was just a guitarist and singer, not an audio-engineer!

And there must be a reason y some of the "old legends" who are still alive&making music hold distance to those modeled sounds..

[PreacherofArrakeen]

@ShSwStudios I agree with you more or less, though I think Hendrix would've made use of whatever tools were at hand at a given moment to expand his capabilities. The sequencer and soft-synths are merely tools. It requires an artist/craftsman to know what to do with the tools. As for me, Cubasis, on an old Mac, was very clumsy, with some of the basic features of a sequencer not working properly, or at all. No audio, either. Logic is a great tool, but it is only as good as the person using it.

[ShSwStudios]

@PreacherofArrakeen Do you believe, that hendrix did music without looking on a computer screen? :s

Why don't most of the musicians today accept that good music comes from the heart, not from a "better" sequencer than the last one?

[Egberdien64]

I do more on composing World Music with Apple Loops, see my channel

[brimm13]

you should totally do purple haze :P

[anselmausen]

can you tell me how to record the guitar?

[ajdicks]

could use more verb especially on the drum and vocal but nice work

[mimaxworld]

@dkrumrie123 that mic sound better than a newer akg c1000.

[nhand42]

For guitar, bass and vocals you want an Audio Interface - it converts microphone into USB (or firewire). Or just use the soundcard audio-input on your Mac.

You use MIDI for synthesizers, keyboards and electronic drumkits.

[ryanrosenq]

good remake

[hellpatrol666]

how did u get those guitar tones? amp sim? which one?

[KillaCalisVeryOwn]

Does anyone know how to fix this problem: Whenever I add a beat that I'm going to record over using Logic, it won't play it until I close Logic and then Open it up again.

It's pretty annoying. Any suggestions?

[mmmfrieduka89]

idk im new to logic and midi... i was watching my friend use logic and he was telling me that he could hook up his instruments like keyboard and guitar and record directly using a midi... so i was interested b/c i figured u could get better quality that way. and this sounds really good

[shredder27]

he recorded with midi. you can see the tracks on the screen. but if you want to use a real drumset, hook up around 8 mics to your computer, one for each component of your drumkit you want to record, be it your toms, snare, hi-hat, overheads, and record them each to a different track.

[shredder27]

why would you use a midi controller for audio tracks?

[AustinDuncanKeyboard]

did you record these drums with a real drum set? if so can you please tell me how

[mmmfrieduka89]

damn this is tight... can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive midi controller to use w/ logic 8 in order to record guitar, bass, vocals?

[Lrtapdancer]

This a Jimi Hendrix song. But it ISN'T his voice. I think it is his guitar parts, but NOT his voice.

[MikeeDustBunny]

Actually you can draw notes by hitting command while in selection tool, on the piano roll view on Garageband.

And Logic express does come with instruments and effects, what it doesn´t have, are the utilities, like Mainstage, compressor, or Sundtrack Pro.

[Cessebabe]

awesome dude

[georgemc8]

OOh yeah... Incredible what can be done in a bedroom these days. (after working out the "parts" of course)...Done are the days of thinking outside of the square with all the mic's and tape decks you can find....Givin my age away here..Anyway,great recording /keep havin fun...

[andrzejszczecina]

I like it. nice vice.

[KoRnhead12]

is this the real Jimi hendrix song? because that doesn't sound like his voice.
