I was still early days at the drum + machine so its got very little variation in velocity and stock + samples… but I think it adds enough color to the track. The panning + tremolo effect was added in the DAW but the rest is all recorded + from my DigiTakt (drums), Alesis Micron (pads), Behringer Model D + (bassline), and my Fender Stratocaster (guitar). When recording the + guitar I put my vocal microphone up to the strings to capture the + raw sound as well which I mixed in along side the clean guitar. It + gave it this twang that it was missing. I also used some EQs all + around in my DAW to help things sit better.</p> + </details> + </figcaption><audio controls="" + src="./audio/terraforming-spring.mp3"><a href= + "./audio/terraforming-spring.mp3">Download Track</a></audio> + </figure> + <h2>Collab Tracks</h2> + <p>I participate in a Discord group from <a href= + "https://www.patreon.com/jayhosking" + rel="external noopener noreferrer" + target="_blank">Jay Hosking's Patreon</a>. <a href= + "https://www.youtube.com/c/jayhosking" + rel="external noopener noreferrer" + target="_blank">His YouTube channel</a> is great and he makes a lot of + hardware and some in the box synth music!

Each of the tracks in this section will defer their copyright + to whatever is stated on bandcamp.
