THE RANT
The other Band I'm working on has reached such frustration point that we are going to head down this route. We have had 6 Drummers who either a) Aren't Good Enough b) Say they can commit when they really can't, or, c) Just don't turn up to audition.
It's a long story, also Keyboard players are as rare as Rocking Horse Shit round here and the 2 we found let us down, fed up of all the work and being let down. Unless a Drummer and Keys player falls from the Sky into our laps we will not be wasting anymore time finding them.
THE POINT
It's a Funk/Soul/80's and 70's R&B Cover Band, we have 1 Guitarist, 1 Bassist(and Backing Vocals) and 1 Female Vocalist.
We need the Drums and Keys doing for our selected set, sooooooooo, I can record in Cubase, can do Instrument Tracks(Midi Piano Roll etc) and put in Drum Samples from Groove Agent(or manually) and mix down to MP3. I can easily transcribe the keys parts using the Guitar and then putting the notes/chords in Cubase and I have a decent selection of Keys of sounds to work with.
I kind of ok with compression and effects in Cubase too.
NAIVE QUESTION ALERT!
So, is this all there is to it to make a decent backing track?
Really appreciate help here as this is the last resort and we really want to get it going.
Thanks.
Only a Fool Would Say That.
