You can just let your drum machine play for the required number of bars and record the audio out, onto an 'audio' track, inserting any fills etc., on the fly as it plays (assuming your drum machine has fill function). Count out all the measures and let the machine play through, or record a measure and loop within SO?Īlso, couldn't I record the guitar, on a second track, and the voice over vocals on a third track, while listening to the recorded drum machine track, eliminating the metronome altogether?Īs usual there are various ways to'swing a cat'. That would have to be easier than going through loops within Studio One? What a great idea! I never even thought of that with the drum machine. Thanks for the input, and, as I described in another post, I am very green, starting out with David's videos. Of course you will inevitably, at the end of your multi-song project, go back to re-visit the earlier tracks to apply the new knowledge/preferences you discover during the process. If I had to get off the fence, I'd say that if you're still learning the rudiments of recording your vocals and guitar and you have the time available, it may be better to record one song at a time and then learn from any mistakes you make during the recording/mixing process. Provided you get the best initial vox/guitar recording quality that you can, the embelishments and polishing can come later. Sorry I didn't address your original post earlier but the previous answers offer good, albeit alternative, advice in this respect.

If it is the latter, you can often find free midi song files on line, which although may be of poor quality, can provide a ready made backing which, in turn, can be massaged or replaced later on. You didn't mention whether your material is self penned or covers. I find that having a suitable drum track available from the start helps, not just with timing issues but can also provide inspiration at times, especially if you stumble upon midi patterns that you may not have considered. I use EZ Drummer personally, but there are other cheaper/free alternatives out there and oodles of midi drum patterns available.

You can, of course, always use the S1 built in metronome for this purpose or perhaps utilise any of the available drum generator plugins available to quickly sequence a simple midi drum track, which can then be changed/developed as and when required. Assuming that the songs are fixed tempo - often the case with drum machines. This can then be replaced at a later date without the need for any unnecessarily complicated tempo mapping etc. If you intend to add drum loops at a later date then why not use your drum machine to record a simple drum track first to play along with i.e.
