Alright, here is my entry into the #CrystalClearFretwiseContest. Sort of my first time recording straight into a DAW, so if anyone has any tips or advice I will gladly take all of the help I can get. Same goes for my playing! Thank you for watching!

  • Video Unavailable *

Darryl thanks for putting this challenge out there. I need to learn how to record direct with video. Sorry for the heavy breathing… bad allergy season.

Better late than never! Wrote this when I heard about the contest – finally got around to recording it! Except I totally forgot to change my camera settings to make is look “nicer” so that’s a bummer haha – at least you can hear the music!

Thanks for watching and best of luck all! Any tips or insight is always welcome :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve never participated in anything like this, so this is the first time I’ve shared any of my playing (other than at gigs). Any feedback and suggestions would be welcome and please excuse the vacant looks to camera :joy:

I’ve been manually importing these posts in myself since updating these forums, so just for reference - please find screenshots of the positive comments from you lovely fellas!

Announcement!

Thank you to each of you who participated, it was a real pleasure watching you play! I’ll be reaching out to each of you momentarily to distribute prizes and arrange our meetings. I hope to do this kind of thing again soon, and would love to see some new faces get involved! :smiley:

And more comments from the original system :wink:
