Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well!
I'm looking to start writing/creating some guitar or bass riffs/melodies to use with some lyrics I've written and just to get some song ideas down really. I don't own a guitar so was looking to do it through MIDI or software instruments if possible. I've had a quick play with the on-screen MIDI keyboard in Logic and the software instrument guitars I had but am a complete beginner when it comes to this sort of stuff, but I want to dive in and get involved.
I've listed some questions bellow if anyone can help with answering them.
- What do I require to get started in terms of sounds, plugins or features?
- How can I get them sounding like actual riffs rather than just individual notes on a synth or piano?
- Can I use effects pedals to change the sound?
- Am I able to download more Software instruments as I wasn't massive on the sounds I had.
Any help appreciated!
Cheers, Joe
