Hey whats up guys? Just wondering if anyone produces or records their own music. If you do, post a website with any clips or other information about what you do.

I mess around with Ableton Live when I'm not sucking at chess. Such a fun program <3

I don't, but I think many musicans do.

apparently not many who read the off-topic board on chess.com and are willing to post :P

I play guitar and sing, but rarely record.  When I do I like to use audacity or garage band.

This is the only one online.  Made it over 2 years ago and I've been playing for 3.  Wasn't the best, but it was definitely a good test of audacity's capabilities.  Has auto-wah :)

are you looking for tools? like to record with???? or just getting it out there?

I don't have any clips of my recordings to share right now but as well as grensley I also use audacity for my recordings. The good thing with that program is that it is free. I also have used cubase but it was, at the moment, a little bit too advanced for me but I think I will try it again soon.

if you're looking to switch to a more satisfying DAW like cubase, you might also want to consider Ableton Live 8, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P9VeExAjkU

There's a youtube video of what they added in this version. It's a sweet program, and great for live performances as well as composing and recording.

Ableton Live is the shit. I'm soon buying an Akai MPD24 and a MIDI keyboard to get all this dubstep nonsense out of my head and into your ears. I'm also trying to start a hip-hop project with a friend who just moved to Seattle.

You may want to try Cubase and/or Reason.

i play/write/rec, but i just do the 'art' side of it. my buddy records me using PRO TOOLS, i believe. if i can figger out how to link something here, i will.

been writing for years.

i just can't/won't stop. i don't think i could if i wanted-to.

if you ever get a chance too, try "Reason" software package.  I have Sony Acid,  Cubase, Ableton, software as well.  They are good training tools to prepare for Reason.  Unbelievable amount of interconnectivity, features, everything. bye the way, I don't work for , or have anything vested in Reason, other than time using it. Still learning diff ways to use it after 3 yrs using it.  May never be able to grasp it all.  later,   good luck       any questions, let me know, I'll try to answer them....

At some point, I will have to learn to use one of these packages.  I play piano, keys, and guitar, but basically have nothing recorded digitally.  What's sad is that I have several friends who have either graduated from Full Sail, or teach there.  I could easily hook up with them to have them show me what I need to know.

I have VCR tapes, from my older video camera, of me playing, but have yet to sit down and cross them over to digital (I know, it's not that hard to do).  My problem is that whenever I go to get started, I figure I'll just play for a few, THEN do the recording.  Then, 2-3 hours goes by, and I've got nothing accomplished for putting out there, but I sound great.  Go figure!
