I've been trying my hand at producing some retrowave/darkwave stuff. Currently attempting to work up the nerve to perform them in public.

Working on getting my gear right.

Just bought an Ampeg 810E and ordered a new main PCB for my SVT-7 Pro.

Then it's back to playing in my home studio by myself.

2 songs I really have hopes for
Lately I work on those constantly.
I want the guitar to be just right.
"Obsessing" is probably a huge understatement

Been experimenting a bit more with delay... this pedal in particular. It's supposed to be an approximation of an echoplex. It sounds really good to me.

Currently working on 2 EP’s for completely different bands and writing a third album as a rock opera.

Classic rock project

Pop punk/emo project

The demos for the rock opera are still rough sounding, but they’re more post-hardcore bordering on early metalcore.

I'm struggling to record a pretty progressive acoustic guitar piece I've been toying with for about a decade. My biggest struggle has been keeping time. The song has 4/4, 7/8, and 6/8 mixed through it. Once I get a rough playthrough down, I'm going to try to get a drummer friend to lay down a drum track for it, which will then make it more natural for me to lay down the real guitar track. It's just a chicken/egg conundrum for me.

I wish I was savvy enough to set up a drum track, but alas.

Pretty excited to get our newest material/current form into the studio in the coming months.

Great job.

I’m only giving some feedback because you said you’re trying your hand at it… I’d quantize the phased synth to the 1/8th note, so it lines up better. The high freq “chirp” sound is cool… but see if it sounds cool on other beats. On beat 4 may sound cool too! Just to take up some of the space and let the polysynth have some “me time” in the beginning of the bars. The bass-ish sound at 1:30 that keeps going for a while, it’s rubbing a little bit with the bass. I think you’ll like it better up the octave or maybe a less low frequency sound. The lower you get the further apart you want the notes in the chords to be.

Awesome stuff man.
