    Drums Placement of Drum Kit parts?

    Yeah, I think that's the best place to start honestly. I'm sure there are some rules and guidelines out there.

    Economy picking

    Pretty much what Calvin said. It's a slow and painful process sometimes.

    I've had renovations going on for a week now and I haven't been able to work on anything music since. I'm losing my mind :LOL: .

    I am struggling with knowing how my song would be perceived. Can anyone offer reassurance about this song?

    Hmm, so the drums do tend to get drowned into the mix a little bit. Might want to up their level by like 1-2dB in certain places. Don't overdo it though otherwise, they'll be too overpowering. The vocals seem to either lack compression or simply need a bit more. There's a big difference between...

    Technically you can use the Kontakt Player to use various VSTs inside Reaper...but after many-a-tries, I just gave up. There's some good stuff on there too, which is sad.

    Vintage News Report on Heavy Metal - 1987

    And I somehow had both... I remember the emo phase a lot like it was yesterday, and because people only started regular access to the Internet during that time, this was somehow merged with the devil-worshiping crap. Fun times :LOL: . Though the emo kids and the devil-worshipping kids were...

    Random Jamming

    Hm, so are you having trouble figuring out what key a song is in or where to play notes on the guitar? If your issue is figuring out what key you're in, you need to understand how major and minor scales work so if given a set of notes, you'll know what key it is. There should be lessons here...

    MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY by Kanye West

    Ah Kanye...my high-school deskmate was a big fan of him back in the day. Gave me some songs of his to listen and while I am not a fan of rap in general, I kinda dig his attitude towards music...aside from his weird rants during the Grammys and his...let's say reinterpretation of Bohemian...

    Beginner What scales to play over chord progressions

    You are correct about the C major scale there. As for the 2nd part, the first thing you can do is to figure out the scale in which the chords belong. I actually created a lesson on major scales a while back, which you can check out here...

    Ghost- “Kaiserion” *NEW SONG*

    Yeah, definitely a fan here. Hunter's Moon, Call Me Little Sunshine and now this one are more than welcome. This one has some seriously good vibes. Feels like a love child of Blink-182 and Rise Against. I'm here for it.

    Beginner Scales

    There are two distinct ways I like to play scales: - using the CAGED system to figure them out (check the lessons on the CAGED system here, they're immensely good) - using the 3 notes per string way (also a very good lesson on that here) - Syn kinda plays them like this if it helps There is...

    I need to ask something about concerts in future

    I know...it's a pick and choose type of deal for me, so far working rather well.

    My strings sound like crap

    Yeah, it would seem it's something with the fretboard, as the gauge should be thick enough for lower tunings.

    My strings sound like crap

    What's your gauge? For each string.

    I need to ask something about concerts in future

    Don't worry about it :LOL: . Overhype kills all enjoyment I might have of things, so...I tend to avoid overhyped things at first.
