I recorded a thing on the drums!! 😁 (The backing track isn't mine, full credit to Jack Curtis of https://drumdrumdrum.org; all his stuff is up on Bandcamp, highly recommended: https://drumlessbackingtracks.bandcamp.com). I screwed up slightly in a couple of places because I'm used to watching the iPad in front of me and knowing when time changes are coming from there but I kept having to look over at the computer to my left instead. I've subsequently realised that I can use the iPad as an extended monitor for the laptop and can move the track time display over to that. I also discovered the fun* of getting audio and video synced up, and how despite the fact that the iPhone says it's shooting video at 60 frames per second, it's ACTUALLY 59.94 and so by the end of the song the audio I recorded directly in Logic Pro had drifted significantly from the video. Thankfully iMovie has a "Speed Editor" where you can get it all lined back up again. But eeeee! Absolutely stoked with this!

A photo of a black metal box with four silver push switches and an LCD display in the middle. The display says "LOGIC PRO" in the middle with "Record", "Play", "Previous Scene" and "Next Scene" in the corners corresponding to each switch.

Yessss, got the Bridge4 configured to control Logic Pro now! So I can start and stop recording, play and pause the existing audio, and switch between and trigger live loops scenes all right from the pedalboard without needing to take my hands off the guitar. 😎

A screenshot of Logic Pro showing three audio tracks and two floating windows above it with all sorts of knobs and dials.

I am having ENTIRELY too much fun in Logic Pro right now. I've taken the song I recorded back in May (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/2029), recorded a bass track with my guitar amp/load box/audio interface setup, and have turned it into this electronic-sounding thing. (Once I'm happy with it, I'll upload it.) Also, man, listening to this back again I can really hear that I sucked at keeping the guitar in time with the drums. 😛

A photo of an electronic drum kit set up against a wall, with a tripod stand sitting to the left behind where the drum module is and a laptop sitting on the stand. The stand very much resembles a stand you'd put sheet music on. Immediately to the left of the drum kit and stand is a bookshelf with all sorts of non-book stuff on it, and right next to THAT is a set of luggage that'd been where I had the laptop sitting before the stand arrived.

A photo of the very complicated user interface of Logic Pro with a recording from my drums. It shows the tempo across the song, and it varies from 118bpm to just under 122bpm which isn't bad given I was aiming for 120!

I ordered a laptop stand so I could have my laptop hooked up to my drums in a more useful position, it arrived today and fits perfectly! So much better than having it dodgily perched on the luggage to the left there. 😛 I also discovered that Logic Pro has a thing where it can pick up the tempo of what you're playing and it lets you adjust it after the fact! I'm a bit shit at keeping time, but I recorded a section by trying to keep a count in my head ("ONE and TWO and THREE and FOUR and") and I actually ended up surprisingly close to 120bpm the whole time.
