Part 4! Now that you've got the equipment and song generally ready to go, we've got to get our DAW and software ready to use! Although this appears to be a "How to press button and record" guide, it is absolutely not! My Reaper Tutorial, linked below, will go over those basics. THIS guide is a more advanced approach to setting up a project for recording. I go over Routing MIDI Drum Software to mix inside Reaper, creating Buses to collectively mix tracks together, as well as some basic navigation! Unfortunately I recorded the original tutorial at a higher resolution, so you'll have to bare with me skipping a few things I'll have done for the next one. I excluded the bit on Auxilary Reverb (create a new track, add a Reverb Plugin to this track, and send select tracks to it). Next time we'll write out the song and draft it out!
