Man, how do so many of you guys not wanna practice all the time? I don't get it.
I totally understand not having time to practice, that's something completely different
But having the time and not taking advantage of it, as a guitar player, I just don't understand
I've got multiple days off in a row and i'm woodshedding my ass off and laying down some recording ideas, because why wouldn't I? I have some time.
In every thread like this there are multiple people doing the head hang of shame, and i just can't fathom it. You're a guitar player. Why aren't you wanting to practice? Looking forward to it?

That is awesome Dan. Thanks for posting that. Great motivation to work! I bought an interface to go along with my GPDI IR for doing this.
Questions: signal path? To me, it sounds like a micd t75?
What do you like for drums? I haven't gone too far into recording yet. I mostly use the interface to practice with guitar pro files.

Guitar sounds killer. Snare sound left a little to be desired IMO.

Thanks man! It is a T75! But an IR
It's a kemper profile of a rectifier orange channel with the wall of sound brit closed back IR with a 57, nothin special
This was just my scratch tracks, not my actual tone - that comes later
As far as drums, that's a really personal thing. Most people like GGD or something that provides "grooves" and fills and stuff so you can piecemeal a drum track together. I program everything from scratch and use samples of real drums i've recorded most of the time - if something doesn't turn out right, I run the midi through MTpowerdrummer or some program like that to try and get it to sound more natural.
Just start jamming and writing songs! The easiest way is just to pull up your DAW and drop a drum beat in there and start jamming with it, see what you can come up with. That's literally how I wrote all of this stuff - just a basic drumbeat at the right tempo and start writing riffs.
