I want to hear a rehearsed piece that’s been mixed and mastered. I’m not sure about it right now

His entire album The Gradual Progression.

1:51 can anyone tell me what audio-interface he's using? Or what will do to record 1 sensory percussion module, an spd-sx and some accoustic drums?

[@chrislopez1391]

James Templeton aka LIMB did this over a decade ago.

[@thatsameenergy]

You mean triggers? They’ve been around and have had the ability to do this for while even before this video.

[@nico.f.]

Someone doesn't listen to jazz.

[@witness1013]
