That was really cool, Steve! The samples sound fantastic, and the playing is awesome! Two things that make a great combination!

I'm thinking that the ability to emulate other instruments electronically knows no bounds...

At the end of it all, the audience doesn't care how it was created, or what went into it. Only that it was well crafted, and sounds good - both of these criteria are met by you - in spades in my opinion... you more than deliver, and what's really cool is that you play "real" instruments too, so there is an authenticity there that goes way beyond just simple "drag-drop" or "copy-paste" you are playing this stuff, and that is really cool...

Any purchase that gets one making music and being creative is a wise one in my opinion. Whether it's an actual instrument, or a bit of software or even a new album that inspires, that's important. (Just my opinion)

Sometimes the things we purchase may prove to be a total dud, but the takeaway can be the experience of trying to get 'it' to jive with one's workflow. The experience can then carry over and allow us to make more informed decisions for the future. (Again just my opinion)

You are busy making really cool music, and you have found a way to make new music leveraging the skills you already have. Awesome, man! Keep it going!

Presenting "Strawberry Jam," a 5-minute condensation of "Strawberry Noodles." I cut and cut and then spliced and smoothed, and altered some BPMs, because what's the point of doing guitars in MIDI if you're not going to mess with them granularly? A tweak of the drums here and there and some NEUTRON loving in a mini-master and here it is. Hopefully no longer a "look ma, I can play guitar" song but hopefully just some rocking out with a distorted guitar and drums. From 12 minutes down to 5 and I could have done a shorter version but I just couldn't cut anymore sections.

And now on to the DRACUS!

Here is Scarbee Strawberry Jam, which I made with Scarbee Bass and Strawberry Guitar for Kontakt. Having some fun pretending to play string instruments that I can actually play, but on keyboards, which is still probably my best instrument (other than Pro Tools). Rock it out! (Rock out, with your Kontakt out!)
