I have put up a "new" video onto youtube! I say "new" because it's not really new. It's a song I recorded probably a year ago.
I didn't make any video on this, so it's just a black screen through the whole song. This because I lack the time to shoot any video footage... Sorry about that... I will make a video on it later!
It has been a crazy month for me and therefore I haven't made any entries to the blog. I decided to make a short entry now.
I will quickly go through an "instrument" I often use, rather always use, while I record and mix songs. This is the M-Audio KeyRig 49 midi keyboard/controller. When hocked up to the computer it can be used to record MIDI and program drums and virtual instruments.
I record within ProTools and in this program there are a insert called Xpand. In this insert you can chose from a number of sounds, pianos, organs, choirs, drums etc. All you need to make a song.
I have used this to record many of my songs. An example is in the bottom half of this entry.
The KeyRig 49 in its self is a 49 key USB keyboard. It includes the Key Rig software, but it can also be used with other recording software like ProTools, GarageBand, Logic, Cubase, Ableton Live etc. The keyboard has a pitch and modulation wheels, an assignable volume slider, octave +/- buttons and a sustain pedal input. The keyboard is USB-powered and works with both Windows and Mac OS.
I used only this keyboard to record the following song. Hope you enjoy it! Any question about the keyboard will be answered if you leave a comment or send me a personal message in the Contact Me page.
