Description : Just a very simple, currently weak-sounding acoustic track. This is the basic recording, mistakes were made, the recording quality isn't great, and I forgot to use a metronome. Would've used my electric, but I still don't have the strength to lift it (been in awful shape the past few weeks as a result of illness, better now though). Any advice is welcomed, not tried acoustic before, but might be something I attempt more in the future.

If anyone's interested, the guitar I used was a Yamaha F310 :P

Stephen my friend there is the genesis of a great track here. Sounds, to me, a bit like Bowie in the Hunky Dory era. Mate stick with this and build on it as I reckon you can use this as the template for something special. Respect to ya mate.

Hey Ste, been a while since I've seen ya. I didn't know you played guitar. I forget to use a metronome all the time, haha. Stinks because you can't go back and add a drum loop unless you get into warping the acoustic track in Ableton or playing it by hand. Not bad at all for a first try. Now you need to add some strings and try your hand at singing. Pretty soon you'll be the next James Taylor. :)

Well I hope you are feeling better, keep on rockin'!

Not been playing for a massive length of time, only really been mucking about with it since late August/early September.
As for strings, sure, but I'm gonna pass on the singing. Generally dislike my voice, can't tend to snap to notes properly and miss them by about a quarter of a semitone :P
Anyways, as for the whole illness thing, I've been walking myself to school, slowly just recovering from sitting around for pretty much three weeks. Shouldn't be too long till I'm able to pick up my electric (because I don't like to record whilst sitting :P)

Description : A bright, euphoric piano synth progression driven by a punchy kick drum. The sound design utilizes subtle modulation and saturation to give the chords a warm, festival-ready feel. Perfect for melodic or progressive house projects.

Vocals from JakeBuzzard acapella "Virus".

Rough mix and needs re-working, putting into stereo and some work done on dynamics but interested in hearing anyone's genuine thoughts. Thanks as always, Ben.
