Well, I've decided to make my debut album "Wastelander's Epoch" available to you fine folks on a 'name your price' basis. You may download and enjoy the album for free! Or if you're feeling a little generous, you may throw in a few bucks for it, which of course isn't necessary but very...

Sorry about the lack of new lessons, folks. Things have been quite busy in the Vhyle household. We're in the midst of moving; all kinds of crap from work; blah blah blah. I know I'm probably a month behind by now, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you guys! Give me another few weeks...

Hey folks, sorry it took me so long to get around to posting this lesson! Life gets in the way sometimes; you know how that goes. Here we go - drum fills! If you're stuck programming a monotonous drum beat to your guitar track (or whatever other instrument you're recording), and maybe you're...

I have a Line 6 Spider II 150w amp, and a stereo 4x12 cab. I just got this gear a few months ago, but I just recently noticed that the input jack plate on the back of the cab had a mysterious hole next to the jack, and it looked an awful lot like another jack may have been there. So today I...

Now we'll be touching up on programming interesting beats with your virtual drumkit. This lesson, I'm basically exploring the vast world of changing note duration with your beat. You'll see what I mean in a minute. Here's the beat format that I'll be using for this part of the lesson. Again...

A poster in a previous thread asked me you can create more realistic programmed drums. Ever since the release of my album, I've gotten a lot of very positive reception on how realistic the programmed drums sounded. So, here I am! I'm gonna show you many of the tips and tricks I use to create...

I'm using Drumkit From Hell in a multitrack setup in Reaper. But, I'm having difficulty trying to find out if I can disable humanizing on just one track instead of the whole kit. I want to dehumanize the kick drum, because I'm going for a more trigger-like sound, but leave the humanizing on the...

I'm wanting to create my own domain and website, to share all of my music. I've got a lot of recordings through my musical career from several bands and projects (and continue to do so), and I want to create my own site to share it all in one place. I've never bought or used my own domain...

Hey guys, I'm a big lurker but I only have a few posts (obviously). But I have a solo metal project called Algarothsyum - basically it's instrumental metal, concentrating heavily on a post-apocalyptic atmosphere. I have an almost unhealthy obsession with anything post-apocalyptic (like Fallout...

Hey everyone, thought this would be a good place to post this. Back in December, I released the first official 5-track demo of my solo death/black/atmospheric metal project, Algarothsyum. If you're into metal at all, you will enjoy this. You can download the demo (320k MP3) via Megaupload, here...

Hey all... lurker here. I don't post much but I read a good bit. Lots of very informative, intelligent people here. Ok so last night, I bought a new drum kit - Ludwig Element 6-piece, metallic gold/orange... it's a beautiful kit, and it sounds amazing. This is the first kit I've bought in 6...
