I really liked the sound of this one, the slow build up with the tapping was really nice. It had a really relaxing, ambient sound to it. Cool loops throughout too, I look forward to seeing more stuff from you. :thumbsup:

This is great for only using the thing since christmas.
Add some reverb next time. It sounds like it was recorded in a cardboard box.

I havent posted in at least 6 months, and I feel the urge to post and say how fucking badass this is.

EDIT: do you have a DD5 as well?

mwr - thanks for the words...when you say "it sounds like a cardboard box" are you referring to the beginning beat? or the whole track in general?

buck - thank you as well...no dd5, just a guitar and a dl4...im actually looking into pickin up a dd6, and hopefully another dl4...praying on my income tax check here..

reason I ask about the DD5 is because Howie uses one on his guitar, so when you hear 8 drum beats he's only hitting the guitar 4 times, and the other 4 beats are the DD5's echoes of his beats...didnt know if you just did all 8 yourself, or if the DL4 can do that and loop at the same time.
