Mood: Pissed Off
Listening To: Solo Drum Loop of Break Free
This time, experimenting on Reason 4's convenience in editting and randomising note velocity has taken its toll on me.
I was fooling around with the tool window where whatever you need for a song is ready-made available. So I messed around with what Reason 3 had provided earlier, but never had the chance to mess around with it.
But now, I regret to the stage that I would love to shoot myself in the skull for doing so.
I'm very particular when it comes to notes, and how they should sound. Drums, being digital or not digital, but hitting it at different pressure points result to a whole different story that can be told in an audible sense. Like, a soft hit and a hard hit.
This is rather crucial when it comes to acoustic or 'traditional' instruments such as the piano, harp or voilin. And when you're working with Reason, editting the voilin parts IS the most crucial part of every song. The emotions for real voilinists are very sensitive when they're presenting a song. A hard strike by the bow means aggression, whereas a soft soothing strike would be.. a holiday by the sea side.
Of course, with me being disabled from having a keyboard/MIDI controller makes things harder for me because I'm unable to capture the essence of the human's touch to tell my story through this song.
And .. What's so frustrating about randomising all these velocities when it's actually somewhat beneficial because you do less work if you don't have a MIDI controller?
The answer is: By highlighting EVERY SINGLE FUCKING INSTRUMENT AND RANDOMISING ALL THE GODDAMNED VELOCITIES.
In short, everything is screwed. I have to redo everything. EVERYTHING. There goes my Richard Clayderman Joins The Army part of the song. ARGH. Now the strings section of this song is swallowing the lead at some points. ARGH. I can't hear my favourite snare marching thing! It's not even a fucking sample. I just had to imagine a snare drummer's pressure points every 64th of a damned beat. What is it? WHAT ARE THE DAMNED VALUES?! 1-3-2-5-3-5-2-3-50-2-1-3-4-5-1-2-3-50????
