Spiff! Is that a pic of you on soundcloud? Have you lost a bunch of weight? Not an easy thing for sure. On the songs, they sound like faithful recreations to me is that you doing all the keyboard parts? If so again congrats as keys are a difficult instrument. You have to switch everything to change keys, unlike guitar where you can just move up the neck and play the same scale. I took piano lessons when I was young and just couldn't wrap my head around it. Then I got kicked out by the guitar teacher as well and had to teach myself. Never managed to teach myself keys though.

So give us some info on your production process? Gear/software etc?

Thank you for your words Todd and yes that is a pic on me at soundcloud and yes i have lost a lot of wight theese past years.

As for the equipment i used

For keyboards i used Miroslav Philharmonic
For drums i used EZ Drummer
Bass i recorded using my Harley Benton bass guitar
Guitar i used was my Ibanez Rg
and for guitar and bass sound i used Pod farm.

I recorded all bass and guitar parts by myself, I tried to play the keyboard parts by myself but i didnt really get the result i wanted and so i decided to program them using midi. Drums were also programed using midi.

I have really no idea on how to work out a good mix so i just tried what sounded good to me and in the end i got a bit lazy and just wanted it to be finnished so i kinda rushed it a little.

But for me it was a great learning experience
