How I do all my recording??

>well, nungguin request yang g' kunjung dateng (emang dasar blog gw kurang laku yeee :p), juga gw lagi stuck mau ngover lagunya siapa, so I decide to share about all my recording sections and how I can do all the cover.

Kalo readers/viewers yang lagi iseng2 liat postingan gw yang dulu sama yang sekarang, disitu terlihat bedanya qualitas recording dari cover2 lagu yang gw lakukan. Yang dulu itu ya *ehemjelekehem*. Ya, dulu itu jauh sebelum gw mengenal teknik recording yang benar, jadi dulu cuman modal laptop, camera yang nempel di laptop, gitar dan perangkatnya + HP gw yang ada MP3nya. Jadi dulu itu recording gw cuman ngidupin cammera laptop, terus setel MP3 yang ada di HP, terus MP3nya gw deketin ke mic laptop dan gw maen dengan volume amp gitar yang keras dan bikin budeg tetangga.hehe, dan hasilnya juga beuuuuuuuhhhh, gw mengakui itu adalah jelek :(
(baca - recording kelas kontrakan-red).

Gw belajar otodidak pertamanya, bermodal download software yang ada gw pun mempelajarinya sendirian, udah mulai mudeng dan bisa, akhirnya gw dateng ke guru gw jaman SMA yang emang kerjaan sampingannya buka bisnis home recording. Dari beliau gw belajar banyak, makasih PAK ANIS :)

OK, langsung aja, kalo boleh bilang gw ini termasuk musisi kere dan g' nyarat abis dah buat urusan recording. Bagaimna bisa gw recording cuman bermodal gitar, effect, laptop sama SEBUAH JACK CONVERTER SEHARGA Rp.2500,-

Yah, kalo yang lainya itu recording nyarat abis, pake soundcard, pake mixer, amp juga dipake. Nah gw, laptop juga jaman baheula, modal pake laptop yang HDnya cuman 80 Gb, masih CELERON pentiumnya dan 512Mb DDR2. Dan gw juga g' punya soundcard (belom beli), juga g' punya mixer (g' kuat beli :p).

Nah, proses record gw sbb :

1. Gw pake software Cool Recor Edit, ato kalo sekarang namanya Adobe Audition buat record suara, Terus buat video gw cuman pake kamera di laptop dimana gw harus dapet pencahayaan yang tepat biar videonya g' macet2 (walopun kadang minjem camdig emak gw sih :p). Terus suara drum sendiri pake FL studio, sebenernya masih banyak software buat bikin suara drum yang lebih keren dari FL studio, tapi berhubung LAPI gw cuman kuat diisi software itu yaaaa, mau gimana lagi ??? :)

2. Gw pake gitar dan effect digital gw ZOOM GFX 707, dan amp g' gw pake buat recording.

3. Ini adalah barang kecil murah namun sangat berjasa dalam hal recording gw, yaitu jack converter besar ke kecil. Ya, harganya cuman 2500 perak dan bisa didapatkan di toko elektronik terdekat :)

4. Jangan lupa pake headphone guys :)

5. Buat editing video gw pake Ulead studio.

Then, the steps :

1. Gw buka software2 tersebut dan camera juga gw idupin,

2. konekin gitar ke effect, lalu effect langsung colok ke laptop gw dengan bantuan Jack converter murah tadi itu :)

3. Mulai deh proses recordingnya, setel secara besamaan antara software record audio sama video recordnya.

4. Setelah kelar, mulai deh editing suara biar lebih OK, terus kita gabungin hasil recording kita dengan hasil record video kita pake Ulead studio.

5. Dan.....KELARRRRRRR, upload deh ke youtube lalu posting ke blog :)

berikut foto2nya :)

Ini gw lagi edit-edit gan :)

Itu gear gw gan, amp.nya handmade loh :)

Yang ini Over All View

yang ini mah kalo lagi setres aja gan, haha

Kamar gw berantakan banget ya??ahaha

yah, biar berantakan2 gitu udah berhasil menciptakan beberapa lagu dari gw.hehe

OK, gw cuman mau share aja, semoga bermanfaat bagi yang baca :)

My Philosophy Of Playing Guitar

To The Point guys

Now, I'll write for ather side while waiting for a new request.

This write just my oppinion abut playing guitar.
First, I just wanna tell you how I can be so addicted to this instrument :)

I was dreaming to be a drummer, I loved to beat something with sticks, you know?? pillow, frying pan are the things I loved to beat with, although with very2 bad tempo.LOL

but the disaster came ( call it "LEBAY") when I faced with the real drum kits. Yeah, it was looked like a monster to me, so different with the theory, even I can do nothing :(


Since I knew that I wasn't get a talent in that thing, I thought that I have no talent in any music instrument. :(

Then, I know about guitar when I was in high school. Actually I know it since in junior high school but I'm not interest enough. High school is my 1st time I start to love this instrument. I start to play in a band with my classmate and also other friends. I feel like I have a new spirit when I play this (guitar). Then I decide to take a guitar course with my band mate. it happens in 2nd grade of high school, and I just take it for a year.

Well, enough for the story, now I'll write about my philosophy of playing guitar :

- Since I know abut guitar I really2 addicted with a speed metal, like yngwie, michael angelo and other world shreeder. Yeah, I work very hard to be like them. Ambitious, Then I realize that all skill that I've got just a "BONUS" of my work. Yeah, skill isn't everything, but how we make a creation is the real work.

- I start to love METAL when I see " S.O.A.D ", I'm so big fans of them especially with DARON MALAKIAN as a guitarist. I start to learn their song. Then I realize "hey, is DARON can play guitar???" there is no solo guitar in S.O.A.D's song. even only a simple riffs there. Yeah I know that DARON just a unique guitarist who has minim skill but with many masterpiece. FACT : HE"S BECOME 100 GUITARIST EVER WITH LOW SKILL. how surprise me!!!yeah, his masterpiece which make him famous.

- Then enjoy your music with your heart. What it means?? I've been playing guitar for almost 5 years and I've through many experiences. I play metal, pop, alternative, rock and play with some bands. but I just can get the feeling with my first band. at least I know because this is my first love of music, I play guitar very bad first, but it sounds great when we were one team. We got a feeling every single. and we were one heart. No matter what kind of music we did but it sounds great when we found our mates, just like your LOVE LIFE guys :)

- This is the last, Someone told me : "you gotta be a genius guitarist, you gotta be smart, explore your music on guitar playing, skill isn't everything, about what you've shown just now is awesome -AMET YOGA "guitarist of anna maybe"-". I'ts happen when I show him one of my guitar playing video. I play arrange MOZART's song and he said it's great. I was so happy, because I know I still amateur. So, what's the lesson we got? The Praise???NO!!!!! It means that we can't stuck with music today, but let your imagination grow. Make something new with your music, no matter it's bad or not, but at least you have your own masterpiece :)

And yeah, those are my philosophy, I don't know how about you guys. I'm sure every single have their own opinion. Just wanna share and I hope it's gonna be useful for you. Thx anyway :)

Rufio-Still guitar cover (duel concept)

Hai readers and viewers semua???emmm...aaaaahhh...errrr (entah kenapa gw selalu bingung dalam membuka sebuah percakapan atau sebagainya :p)

OK, kali ini gw menerima request dari saudara JELLY (lagi :p). Dia minta di coverin lagunya RUFIO yang judulnya STILL. Agak telat sih bikinnya soalnya gw abis kelar ujian man.hehe

Yah, sedikit cerita tentang cover lagu ini, setelah gw dimintain buat cover lagu ini, gw mikir tema apa yang cocok ya??? terus gw liat2 koleksi video yang gw punya. Disitu gw liat lagi videonya dragonforce. DAN!!!!!!!!!!!! gw langsung dapet ide gitu aja, gw bikin aja video gw kali ini pake konsep ala DRAGONFORCE yang kalo setiap solo guitarnya selalu dibikin duel gitu, adep2an satu sama lain dan di bawahnya ada video kecil yang nampilin permainan gitar secara zoom. GOTCHAAAA...langsung deh kelar ujian gw garap aja project ini.aha

Jadi gw disini recording 2 kali. bikin gitar 1 dan 2. nah buat yang liat video gw, sbg confirmasi aja ya, bahwa pada video gw pas lagi maen gitar berdiri itu cuman lypsinc.hehe, dan video kecil yang dibawahnya itu baru real recording :)

oiya, buat yang liat kalo mau ngakak ya ngakak aja gak papa, gw kebanyakan tingkah di video ini.hehe

here this, RUFIO - STILL guitar cover by a'ank, special for Mr.JELLY :)

MOZART - Serenade No. 13 for strings in D major ("Eine kleine Nachtmusik") Re-arrange by me

UPDATED : I've got the title, helped by FEBBY TAN a.k.a VISUAL GROOVE, she helps me so much, thx FEBS :)

Hay guys, What's up nih? :P

ya, kali ini gw sepertinya lebih produktif dengan mencipta lagu dari pada nerima pesanan cover. Tapi bukan berarti gw berhenti dr ngoverin lagu pesenan. Masih tetep kok, cuman kepending dulu :p

Ok,alasan kenapa gw sekarang lebih suka bikin lagu atu meng arrange lagu karena gw baru aja mempelajari ilmu "KONTRAKAN RECORDING" inget bukan HOME RECORDING. hehe
Jadi lagi seneng2nya bikin lagu sendiri


Nah ceritanya nih ya, akhir2 ini gw seneng banget nostalgia sama CANNON ROCK arrange nya JERRY C yang beberapa tahun lalu sempet booming dan menjadi artis youtube nomer wahid.hehe

Yah, itu lagu termasuk favorite gw banget, gw rela g' makan seharian demi mempelajari lagunya master JERRY C (lebay :p)

Kemudian, gw kepikiran, kenapa gw g' mencoba mengikiti jejaknya bang master ya? meng-arrange lagu klasik. Gw pun sibuk nyari lagu2 klasik dari mozart, pachelbel, beethouven dsb. tapi memang susah buat milih lagu yang tepat, apa lagi lagunya sumpah TINGGIIIIIIIIII banget, g' nyampe ilmu gw deh :p

Terus gw bersenandung aja gitu di pikiran sambil nyanyi2 sendiri kaya orang gila, SUDDENLY : " jeng jengjeng jengjengjengjengjengjeng " ( bayangan suara intro sebuah lagu klasik)...VOILA.... GW NEMUUUUU, yah lagu itu. Tapi sayang seribu sayang gw lupa ama judulnya sama composernya siapa (ato bisa disebut g' tau).

Tapi gw berpikir, ah bikin dulu aja dah. Langsung gw buka FL studio, Cool edit dan bikin project itu. Gw bikin drummnya dulu, semaleman bikin hanya untuk durasi 2:18 menit aja T_T

DRUMM Jadi, langsung take guitar buat bikin backing tracknya. DAN JADI LAGI. wah gw malem itu lagi niat banget pokoknya.haha

Terus gw kreasi MAIN SOLO-nya, dan finalnya adalah tadi pagi. Bangun tidur gw cuci muka, setel laptop gw, idupin cammera laptop dan software recording gw. SIAP BUAT TAKE MAIN SOLO. *SAMBIL NGEPALIN TANGAN*

Well, ini dia hasilnya. Enjoy it guys



yah, sampe sekarang gw belom ngerti judulnya apaan, buat yang ngerti judulnya. plisss contact me as soon as possible. OK :)

yang mau download silahkan klil disini :)

Thx anyway
