OP Planobilly Veteran Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 2,533 Cow Country, Florida	This is a track for a space video I am trying to create. So far all I have is live guitar and keyboards. The end results will contain vocals. I am struggling to come up with a drum track. I have Superior Drummer and Addictive Drums plus all the stuff in BIAB. This is a short clip that can be downloaded. https://soundcloud.com/planobilly/space Any ideas for a drum track?

OP Planobilly Veteran Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 2,533 Cow Country, Florida	Thanks Dan...looking forward to what you come up with. This is in Cm at 110 BPM. So you can visualize what I have in mind for the video, the first 16 bars with the guitar hits see the spaceship in the distance, and get closer with each guitar hit. After that, there is a transition to the inside of the spaceship, and the vocal starts. The person singing is an android/humanoid who is running the ship but does not consider what he is doing as singing. He has his back to the camera much of the time. I know, send the guys with the white coats to Billy's house...lol Billy New location, new environment, new music coming soon Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo

Because I have been struggling with the percussion aspect I suspect you may be right. I also was thinking about some sound effects to emulate a spacecraft engine with the correct pulse to fit the music. I defiantly can hear sparse tympani.

It certainly gives me some ideas. I really appreciate you taking the time to deal with this. I definitely think we all should follow Dan's lead in being willing to take the time to help other people with their music. So, again thanks Dan. Billy Last edited by Planobilly; 09/14/21 01:14 AM.

OP Planobilly Veteran Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 2,533 Cow Country, Florida	The way forward... This whole project is upside down. I am writing the music for a video that has not been produced yet. In fact, I have only started to write the script and produce a storyboard. To make matters worse I have no idea what I am doing...lol This idea has been rolling around in my head for several years. I have about a zillion dollars tied up in Toontracks software and they have "orchestral drums" that have the sounds I am looking for. Another $250 dollars...Jezzes...will it never end! As all this started out as a musical idea a long time ago, I never considered the possibility of this turning into a "cinematic orchestral" production. A short look into orchestral VSTs left a lump in my throat as to the cost of such VSTs. I have been wanting to do something different for some time. This is for sure different. I am really in uncharted waters, in the deep end of the pool and over my head. It is becoming apparent I really need to score all this out. That is a scary idea! I can see already that I will need some help. That most likely will involve psychiatric help also...lol Cheers, Billy New location, new environment, new music coming soon Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo
