Hello Hive account@road2horizon thanks for your comment, and yes I did study music at the Guitar Institute of Technology from 1991-1992 when the tuition for the whole year was only $6000. A composition such as this requires about two good weeks of gradual track building usually always starting with the DR RHYTHM 770 for the basic first drum beat in order to keep the string instruments in time, then build layers starting with the guitar and finishing up last with the bass guitar. You will be surprised what you can create using an acoustic nylon string guitar, fender squire bass, and the drum machine. The recording software is protools 10 and I use an apollo twin by Universal Audio for all the plug ins and sound effects like reverb and EQ
