Guitar Track Done!

-

 I'm excited to say that I full recorded the guitar track last night!  It's sounding good!

It is also very apparent that need to use a different compression on the guitar track when there aren't going to be any other instruments...aside from the vocal.  It is so easy to hear when it's isolated like that.  I made the adjustments and saved the settings for more songs coming in the future.

Acoustic Influences

 I wanted to make a quick playlist showcasing some of the songs that influenced my love for acoustic music by heavy rockers.

That being said, I’m going to start working on a fully acoustic alb...
