Thanks,
enlightening comment about confidence coming across. Some thing i'll
see if i can work on for the next track. I tried recording with drums
from hydrogen but then found my guitar section to be far too
tight/boring ;) Any hints on keeping a good rhythm when playing with a
click? Focus on dynamics more?
