    1st off I am not a metal kind of dude but I am here to support Shootie because he offers the best Toontrack videos's! I would like to see Toontrack full time sponsor this channel period. Shawn offers focused fast and in depth info and that's what I appreciate. Creating good content is an art form and Not easy, few do it well and fewer do it high level. This channel deserves support.
    ...also when you fell off your chair I laughed so hard it made my day better.

    I addition to the Jedi Mind Trick video to make templates I often recommend this tip for Reaper users. The action we create here is global to reaper and available to every new project. I use this one probably every session to present a guitar riff to any of the EZ products to get in the ballpark quickly. The search string is:
    (This one might be members only, not sure so apologies if making the recommend this way is problematic)

    Fantastic and inspirational video, Shawn. The Highlight scale tones and snap features are really incredible. This gives me a lot to try out.
    I use a project template as my scratch pad and in addition to the track you laid out, I have 3 guitar tracks set to clean, heavy rhythm, and lead tone. Plus I have a scratch vocal and even a synth track (ya never know!). I tried to anticipate any option I might want available without configuring getting in the way of inspiration.

    Anyone else here find it easier to pick a drum beat first then write guitar riffs off of the drum beat. ?

    • @ShootieSchool
      @ShootieSchool  7 месяцев назад +1

      In my other videos I call this The Chicken or The Egg. What comes first, The Riff or The Beat? I certainly use both methods depending on the mood or inspiration.

      That's a toughie. The moment I write one or play one, I try to imagine the other straight-off. To see how it would go. Then, I ditch one, if necessary.
