need help with adding drums to my song

i wanna add drums n other instruments in my song ,wich is on jus a single guitar

i tried fruity loops studio 5 .......but i jus cant understant a single thing in it

can neone suggest me an easy to use software

or temme how to use tht FLstudio

 

hammerhead rhythm station - its supposed to be a good drum synth software. its freeware, so you can download it from www.download.com

apart from that, everyone seems to be using FL Studio.

 

if u r okay with using MIDI drumkits that sound nowhere like the real thing, try cakewalk.

 

download sum loops n drum samples over freebies

 

try out fruity loops.......well read da tutorial

 

Well I'm also using FL Studio, and it sounds like just real...

 

ya fruity loops drum simulators are just like the REAL THING!

 

ok -- IM downloading fruity loops -- just curios -- do I need to finally mix everything on audacity later? - what s/ware is most convenient 2 u when u want to mix the drum simulation?

 

Audacity might give you trouble with latency. Taht is trhe trouble with most of the open source or freeware DAWs.

 

^ hmm so that should be the case with every simulation software rite? Is anything relatively better when it comes to combining the drums/guitar and vocals?? (compared to audacity)

 

Yeah there always exist some latency in the soundcard. But somehting in the order of 5 ms is almost negligible.

But how the DAW interacts with the drivers makes all the diff.

I started using Adobe Audition.
No audible latency.

And latency is a big problem while doing multi track recording.


In Audacity I used to record the drum patch n then play rhythm over it.
While playing I used to feel that I am in sync, but when the mix came out the rhythm was slightly faster than drums.
And then I would play leads. Feel that it is in sync.

Hpowever in the final mixdown: everything used to be horribly out of sync.


NO such probs now.

 

alpha1 -- thanks a lot dude!! -- but dont think Adobe Audition wud be freeware

 

Yeah
unfortunatley it aint.

but since you are gonna get it anyway [*Peep* 2 *peep*]

search for Reason by Propellorhead(s) software.
It is the ultimate tool.

 

if u're doing a cover just get a backing track.

 

^ slash -- didnt quite get you - what do u mean by a backing track?? Forgive my ignorance plzz!!

 

well backing tracks are basically the tracks having only the drumming and the base line in them.you can add the guitar and the vocals to them.check out

^ wow this is amazing man !! -- I think this should be good enuf for my purpose of trying drums with covers! Thanks for the link -- its really got the stuff ! -besides I think I can improve upon my timings using these!
Reps 4 u!!

 

yeah u can improve a lot practicing with these. and thank you very much for the reps.

 

Acoustica Beatcraft is really good.

 

nothing can beat a BT if u wanna do covers.
