  • Hows it going folks? It's been a while since I posted any sort of tutorial based content here. I've been writing alot lately and posting little 1 minute clips of tunes, mostly on instagram, here on occasion. I get asked alot by those new to recording how I write my riffs and drums, so ive put together a wee video on the process I like to use, starting off with a sketchy playthrough to a click and on to how to build the drum track with use of my MIDI pack.
    In this tutorial im using GGD Modern and Massive as the drum sampler and my Ultimate Punk and Melodic Hardcore MIDI pack
    If you are in need of some cool MIDI - Check out my stuff here:

    Hope someone out there finds this helpful!
    Pop Punk MIDI pack dropping soon
    Cheers

    I'm so glad you did this tutorial John! For some time now, I have seen your posts on FB about the collections of Midi packs that you have available but never quite understood how to run them into a DAW. I need something like this because I don't have a band anymore and I need to start thrashing again. I switched over to analog synthesizers and have been doing retrowave for years, but at heart, I'm still a total 90's skate-thrasher who grew up on Adhesive and Strung Out and I have wicked riffs that I need to lay down over that double time "Groove 2" beat. I just recently bought a Tonex modeling pedal which I can run that into Ableton and then with your beats, I'll be going mental. So rad! Seeing PMX, Hike The Peak, and Fair Do's still making this kind of music has been very inspiring and now, seeing how your Midi packs work is very encouraging. Love all of your work!

    This is great- thanks. I’ve been starting with just a straight drum track and record my bass lines first. Then I’ll go back and adjust the drum track to fit better. After I record the guitars, I’ll go back in and tweak the drums even more by either replacing certain bars or editing them to fit perfectly.
    These get me 90% there and they work absolutely great. Thanks!

    Thanks for the insights.
    Funny, my process is quite the opposite. Usually I write some drum pattern for the style and mood I want to create and then create a riff upon that. I ussually do this riff by riff, then copy and paste everything until I have an arrangement which is okay and then I'm adding the details. And ussualy I use a programmed Bass.

    I write loud guitar stuff and your midi packs take my songs to another level, so thanks man. Is it possible to preview the drums while playing back the guitar track? Im using GGD in Studio One.
