14a – creating drum tracks – NOTE: this video was recorded BEFORE the previous video (Step 13). That’s why the initial track setup in THIS video looks a bit different (it has three guitar tracks, instead of two guitar tracks and a vocal track. That error was corrected when Step 13 was recorded).
14b – setting the metronome – NOTE: this video was recorded BEFORE Step 13. That’s why the initial track setup in THIS video looks a bit different (it has three guitar tracks, instead of two guitar tracks and a vocal track). That error was corrected when Step 13 was recorded.
15 – presence track – NOTE: this video was recorded BEFORE Step 13. That’s why the initial track setup in THIS video looks a bit different (it has three guitar tracks, instead of two guitar tracks and a vocal track). That error was corrected when Step 13 was recorded.
16 – microphone setup – start recording a song
17 – recording vocals
18 – adding more tracks
19- mixing down – I neglected to tell you how to get to the mixdown option in the video. At the top of the window where the horizontal menu is (File, Edit, Song, Track, etc) choose SONG. From the dropdown menu choose “Export Mixdown” … From there you decide WHERE to save the file and in what format. It’s pretty self-explanatory.
20 – recording an electric guitar or any other direct plugin instrument
