Ahh another atmospheric piece. I think I'm beginning to understand your style.

So you're recording everything live right? (other than the dums obvs)

You should consider recording both the audio and MIDI into your DAW and then going back to fix any fudged notes.

Cool submission, looking forward to the next one.

Agree with CharlesF. It's not a massive departure from the same workflow but you gain a lot of flexibility in production. I also use that technique to 'learn' my jams for if I want to create something to perform live in a show later.

I thought this sounded very jarre-esque, perhaps a little too much. But good choice of sounds. Really like the synth guitar too.

Thanks for the responses. That was a very rough draft if I can call it that. My background is with mostly arrangers so this is a new area for me.

Hopefully it will get better as we go along.

nice job. I expected this to go into full on Skrillex mode around the 1:06 mark. Would make a nice dynamic shift. That's not to say that I don't enjoy the atmospheric "TRON" vibe that this gives me....because I do! =)
