I am officially five entries behind in my Holidailies updates, so it’s time for some filler.<\/p>\n
I’ve spent the last few days playing with one of my new toys, Guitar Rig 4 Pro<\/a>. The version of Cakewalk SONAR<\/a> I have includes a limited edition version of Guitar Rig 3. When I bought my new computer in August, I finally had the processing power to try it out, and I got hooked enough to want to buy the full version, which I did on \u9ed2\u3044\u91d1\u66dc\u65e5<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now I’m going back to my demos and recording guitar parts where my limited playing ability can accommodate. On Friday, I realized I could probably go back and remix an entire album I’ve already released, titled Restraint<\/a><\/em>. I already remixed two tracks from the album with Guitar Rig 3. Now I’m doing the same with the other tracks.<\/p>\n Some of them don’t have guitar parts, so I went ahead and just remixed those outright. I’ve put in some full days this weekend, nearly turning down a social engagement yesterday (which, in retrospect, I should have.)<\/p>\n So I’m going to post some of the tracks on which I’ve been working.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The track that started me down this mistaken path of remixing an entire album is “The One to Make You Whole”. It’s the opening track on Restraint<\/a><\/em>. All the guitar parts on the original are faked with Propellerhead Reason<\/a>, so it’s nice to hear the song as it was originally intended. I’ve also remixed the drum parts using another new toy, Battery 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course, I’m not a completely competent guitar player, so any parts with arpeggios are still played by Reason. I just try to make it sound as guitar-like as possible with Guitar Rig.<\/p>\n Here’s the remixed track:<\/p>\n
