I've been doing all of my recording for the past 20 years on my Roland VS-1880. While I knew my way around it, and loved the way it sounded, there were things about it that would kind of put me off from recording at times just because I didn't want to go through all of the hassles. Anyways, I bought a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 and Presonus Studio One 4 Professional about a year or so ago, and just never got it going because honestly, I was kind of scared to venture out of my comfort zone and take on learning a new way of recording. Well, that was a big mistake. I should have done this 15 years ago....lol. With all of the Black Friday sales, I upgraded to the Presonus Studio One 5 and also bought some Drum VSTs. I have officially left the world of finger tapping on my Boss-DR-770. Man, that thing sure did serve me well. Anyways, I present to you my first venture into the world of computer recording and software, and drum VSTs. I took off work this week, hence the name of the song.

Sounds good! Love the riffs. Overall, the guitar could use a bit of presence around 3k, they sound a bit like they're under a blanket now. Maybe scoop some of the mud frequencies out of there as well. Levels sound good, though!Why don't you take your little Cobra Kais and get outta here?!

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

How was the drum track created? Was it done with a keyboard and mouse, tapped in with a controller, or was it some sort of MIDI loop?

Thank you, sir. You know, I kind of thought the guitars sounded a little darker than I was going for. They actually don't sound that dark without the bass. I think the bass tone I used is sucking some of the frequencies out and making them sound darker than they really are. Thanks for the advice!!
