Initial Dedication - NiiRU

Thanks KateTheGreat.
This is kinda the "statement of the theme" if you will, this track is far from done. I'm using the intro material in conjunction whatever other crunchy voices I add for a dubstep feel and I got some lyrics to go with it, the hook isn't quite right yet but I'll nail it down.
The answer to your first question is this. I found the drum part, set it the correct length from the beginning of the track and started recording. I put the keys down in three takes, I deleted the first two, usually you would keep them anyway to use as material in case there are errors in the best take, they usually aren't in the other ones. Thats an uberproducer trick though, and you don't it need to make good recordings imo, just perfect ones. I usually just record "live" as it were, on the spot. I don't like midi that much, it's alright i guess, i would rather listen to it than make, it's too perfect, if you know what I mean, and most of the time, unless its drums, loops tend to bore me.
I'm also a gamer. Just got StarCraft II but my computer can only chunk it out... so no online waaaaaaaaaah!
just have to play more xbox and wii until I get a better one.
Thanks again for your kind words. I look forward to more of your music as well.

yes this a bit raw, i did it one take with the drums as a loop. its just keys and the drum loops for now, but it'll get some other stuff. I'm working on lyrics for this one as well.
Here's the hook, raw as well

Ain't no joke

to those who got the cure
