Kind of like your old reaper tutorial videos. Hopefully one day you can get around to this. Awesome song by the way keep up the great work!

    @iBoss818 6 років тому +5

    Cool song! In terms of the music I'd say there's not much you could do better. But in the last 2 and half minutes you could have boosted the bass of the bass because it was recorded on a guitar and it's lacking in low end and maybe do some EQ on the guitars as well (like a hi and lo pass). But whatever, this was writing a song in an hour, not producing a song in an hour. And to that I say you did a pretty damn good job!
