REAPER Test
« on: May 18, 2012, 05:54:46 pm »
Unfortunately, I've had to abandon using MTV Music Generator 1 PC. Ever since I installed it on this new computer, it crashes whenever I open a project file. That said, I only used it as a drum machine, since everything else (guitars, bass, vocals, keys) I can do elsewhere.
So, I've been looking at other sequencers to take its place. One that I recall being recommended (by one of my old college tutors) was REAPER, so, after installing that (and an instrument plugin for drum kits) I'm giving it a test.

I've not given it a title, since it's just a test, but here it is:

The resulting track is only 17 seconds long (and to be honest, it doesn't sound too different from my previous outing Ceci n'est pas), and it's far from perfect, but I'm definitely working towards a sound I like.

I tried Reaper on my previous (Windows XP) computer before, but no sound would come out at all O.O. Had no issue getting sound to play in Sony ACID Pro, FL Studio (didn't make anything with it tho), Magix and M2002.

I wonder if it's Windows 7 64 bit compatible?

Anyway sounds pretty nice. If you absolutely want to use Music 2000 samples by the way, you could do what I did a few times in Magix/Sony ACID and rip some from a Playstation or something.

My computer runs Windows 7-64, so you should be able to run REAPER on your computer.
As for running Music 2000 samples in REAPER, I'm not sure; you get a lot more control with actual synthesisers, but I need a proper MIDI keyboard for that (and the keyboard I do have doesn't really have what I need for that; there are no pitch bend or modulation wheels - the pads on it are pretty good, but you have to have to have them really low-pitched for them to sound good)

Ah I see. My problem was that most VST plugins I found that were free (of viruses) lacked any decent kickdrum samples and I couldn't find any good sample for what I needed, so I just found it easier to rip some (sometimes combined) from Music 2000.

I use Independance Free for my drums. It's no Toontrack EZDrummer, but some of the sample patches on there are useable.

Can you replace them with your own? (eg Music 2000 sample rips)

Also I don't like EZDrummer. When I tried it there was no sound at all >.<

According to the website, the Free version is restricted to 25 files per patch. I use one of the default patches, though.
