Swiggles' Recording Guide: PART 5- Writing MIDI Drums and Tracking
Part 5 is probably the weirdest one of all, in that I can't name it properly. We'll begin writing MIDI Drums, something I pride myself on as being fairly good at when I'm not in a rush! I think this one actually will be most useful to more experienced music-makers that are trying to get a much more realistic and polished sound. After 13 minutes of staring at me, the tutorial goes over SO many things. Setting up Virtual Instruments, how I went about taking my ideas and putting them into the DAW, creating more MIDI routing with Kontakt, placing my solo in the song, and some shortcuts and tips. I apologize that these videos are getting longer and scary, but I promise you that if you follow these tutorials (especially you awesome Level Up Challenge entrants) you will be able to do what I do, if not better. Next week we mix our song using EQ, Compression, and other stuff.

HOUSE

House of Cards! We make the terror....
NOTE - I'll get to changing this thumbnail soon but I obviously do NOT condone anything done by he who portrayed the main character.

House of Cards is a slow, gruesome, exciting, and often scarily-realistic show! I've really enjoyed it from the start and I think fans of Breaking Bad and similar intense dramas let alone West Wing and other American Politic shows will enjoy it! For me, it's really about the intensity of the acting and plotting that makes it so awesome to me. I made this cover in about 1 day using some templates I created, and plus I wanted to dress up ;)

SUBSCRIBE TO MATT: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNqkRUftbkH35wYGX13eAuQ
Introducing Matt, a friend of mine at college whose ripping guitar skills and love of game music demanded this mashup. Combining the Link's Awakening Overworld and Metroid's Brinstar, I worked out with Matt's idea and we made a nifty rocker. Tricky to nail each detailed lead and work out the "best cover yet" mentality, I think we really pulled through. Leads and mixes went through unbelievable amount of changes, impulse responses, and I spent at least an hour purely mixing and constructing a Superior Drummer kit for this. Last of course, Matt's GoPro and our scenic library location led to what I like to consider the neatest scenery for filming a video I've gotten to yet. By the way, we'll be putting a few songs as heavy hitting and exciting as these in an EP soon. Stay tuned...
I really hope you guys enjoy this, and PLEASE let Matt know how he did on his first real cover. Subscribe too, he'll appreciate it so much. And deserves it after that solo :3

RIGHT
right-now-(van-halen)-cover-ft.
A tribute to my favorite band and guitarist, featuring two wonderful friends.
▶️ Get my Original Prog-Metal Album ▫️▫️▫️▫️ http://smarturl.it/ProjectDiscover
?Click to SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/SubscribeRoP
A few notes with this one, to start this was actually made in 2021 in my old apartment! Although I wanted to put a bit of time to tributing the legendary guitarist that got me really into playing, I had a lot of hurdles to get over with my mixing, vocals especially, and thankfully my collaborators were patient there!
After the news I definitely felt like going through the discography of my favorite band again, but I never wanted to just start putting out Van Halen covers (as you can imagine the timing isn't ideal and may come across insincere). To my surprise, friends and VGM enthusiasts PurpleSchala and IsrafelCello chatted me up about their love of the band and I'd like to think they thought up the perfect song to play together. It felt nice working through EVH's finest 90s track and being able to fully cover the song with Drums, Bass, Guitars, Vocals (Hagar's range is just too darn high, lesson learned), and the amazing duo on piano and cello joining in.
"Right Now" off the band's cleverly titled For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is a motivational anthem, a pseudo invitation to keep doing things no matter how challenging or difficult it is. It's a great allegory to online musicians including myself, who after 11 years or more, are still trying to find their footing, grab opportunities, and entertain with their own musical voice. If I can take away anything from Van Halen's work, it's to follow that and have fun with the guitar every chance I get. Thank you to my collaborators for sharing in the memories of this amazing musician and perhaps we'll play more Van Halen soon. Rest in Peace, Eddie.

BATTL

NESSHUGGAH. What if we took #earthbound soundtrack and just, made it really gratuitously heavy?
▶️ Get my Original Prog-Metal Album ▫️▫️▫️▫️ http://smarturl.it/ProjectDiscover
?Click to SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/SubscribeRoP
In between my next album (close to done tracking!) I've been itching to do more game music again and especially experiment with some intense production styles.. This started as a joke of Earthbound/Meshuggah crossing over but I honestly think this was a great way to practice writing more creative arrangements again after so long! In addition to that, I have to thank a ton of friends for feedback and helping especially with the drums my friend Evan! By crushing the cymbals down and doing some real careful EQing I was able to get a sound I liked that wasn't too grating!
Please share this one if you enjoyed it and let me know if I should do more from Earthbound, or more 8 string monster type arrangements! In the mean time, stay tuned here or on socials for an exciting N64 Cover album announcement soon! ALSO if you want to get the shirt I am wearing, my pROg Metal shirts are on sale down at THREADLESS now as I've switched vendors!

Here's my performance of Crystal Planet by Joe Satriani during the Music Quarters Spring 2012 Recital. My teacher and I share most leads, and the bass and drums are also teachers at Music Quarters. Sorry it's zoomed around me and the audio's still not too awesome. If I knew how I'd remix it so the highs aren't so buried, but I don't :(.
Guitar: ESP LTD JH-200 (Mine) and Ibanez JS1200 Lefty (Teacher)

As some of you guys saw, I streamed live work on this remake of what I consider my favorite medley I have done. Earthbound being re-released for the Virtual Console is a humongous opportunity to spread love of the Mother series and its amazing music. The problem with my last medley, is that I did not properly tend to the rhythm guitars and created a panning issue. Additionally, now there is a real bass, improved tone, and even a short added song. I hope you guys give this medley another, new chance and check out the magic of Earthbound!

This is definitely... different! I hope you all are aware by now, that I don't like sticking to formula completely.. in fact, having the chance thanks to Patreon to try new instruments is a HUGE blessing. I wanted to cover this song for years now, once I could get a Tabla and Sitar and practice, so here we are! I used a lot of inspiration from The Beatles' Revolver/Rubber Soul albums and a cool Berklee School performance of an Indian "Fusion" jam. While this isn't the most progressive arrangement I could do, I think within a week I was really happy to at least mix and jam around with this kind of instrumentation!
Thanks to everyone who tuned in on Twitch while I arranged this song and hurt myself tuning the Sitar. I plan on arranging many more songs together! Remember to always experiment, think of your own heritage and the music it brings, and hope you enjoy this very experimental tune :) I especially hope my grandma enjoys it, she also has a passion for music and liked the last one I did this style!
