Please explain like I am 10 . A UK terrible guitarist with an aspiring drummer nephew aged 14. My favourite drummers are Copeland, the chap from Led Zeppelin and Mitch Mitchell. My teen nephew is doing grade 7 drums in the UK. Plays metal. Wants to be a session drummer.
He asked me (1) how to expand the sounds of his e-kit and (2) how does he record about 4 tracks: e-kit, guitar, vocal, bass.
I have Windows PCs & parts. I understand there is lots of free legitimate software for Windows, samples and to record.
I researched and I can see Superior Drummer 3, I understand EZDrummer 3 is good too. I understand that the MIDI cable from drums can plug into a PC via USB. I gather an audio-interface is used for guitar, vocal, bass.
Can anyone help recommend (1) freeware to use, e-drum kit samples with a metal slant for budget and (2) intermediate ~£200. I can research those with him.
Audacity? Reaper? Kontact?
Any pointers very welcome indeed - we are pioneers. Thanks in advance.
