NEW LESSON: Software Recording and Reaper
I just posted a new recording tutorial in my lessons forum.
Computer Recording Software - Getting Started
The first part covers a very general procedure to start recording. No matter what recording software you want to use, they should all use a similar approach.
The second part demonstrates the same procedure using Reaper.
Enjoy!

Thanks for all your hard work Tekker. This I'm sure will be of great help to many members. We'll be sure to mention it in the next newsletter we send out.
Thanks again

You're welcome! Thanks for checking it out. 
Clancy, I'll try to have a couple more for your newsletter.  I have one that's almost finished on removing noise from recordings and I'm also working on a Java applet that generates random chord progressions.

Tekker!
Well done!  I haven't had a chance to study it yet, but I skimed thru it and it is very informative. You are probably going to get me to switch to Reaper yet I will really look at it tonight. Thanks for all the effort you put into it

The lessons look great Tekker! I don't know why, but Reaper has always looked scary (complicated) to me  I'm sure your lessons will change that.
Great work.

That's exactly why I made the lesson. I figured a lot of people were probably a little intimidated by how complex it looked. But really the basic aspects of getting tracks recorded very similar same no matter what program you use. It's just a matter of learning the layout of the program and once you know that then it becomes much easier. That's also why I'm going to add another one for Kristal Audio and maybe Audacity, to show how the same basic approach is applied in different programs.

I would like to get to the point of choosing a key and it gives you actual chords, but for now I'll stick with the numbers because it's simpler.  Mine also uses music theory to always create "good" sounding progressions instead of randomly putting chords from a key together. And mine also has options for extended chords (7th, 9th, sus2, sus4, and 6th). These extensions are randomly added, but the base triads the extensions are built off of are derived from theory.

Tekker,
Very nice job on all of this. Truly most helpful. Especially with the reaper recording software. Hopefully you will cover a number of things with VST usage.

Hi Eddie,
I can certainly give it a go. Are you talking aobut using VST's within Reaper or the best usage of individual VSTs?
If you were talking about using Reaper's VST's, I don't have much experience with Reaper's VST's. Reaper is not my main recording program, I use Magix Samplitude so I use a lot of Samplitude's plugins. I have 3rd party VST's that I really like and I also have several free VST's that I use on a regular basis.
I do have a tutorial that talks kind of vaguely about effects and VST usage and demonstrating some of the freebie plugins.

So let me know what you're interested in and I'll see what I can do.

Tekker,
Actually using VST plugins within reaper. All in good time I suppose.
Thanks for the link to the other. I need to take a long look at that.
But thanks for all you have done with the software info.
