Pretty cool un-transposed track, Mr Outback!

Awesome tracks! Would really appreciate a tutorial on your song writing and recording process!

Hi Prakhar, thanks for the thumbs up! I'm not sure a tutorial from me would be super helpful, but I can think about something to maybe put up in the future. My process is very slow, partly because I'm busy with other things and partly because I don't want to release anything I'm not happy with. I use YT for my writing and recording practice, actually!
I never sit down with a plan to write or record. If something fun comes out of my fingers when I'm noodling, I'll open up Cubase and record a block. From there, it's a grab bag of putting in drums here and there, blocking off more guitar lines, and seeing if anything cool comes out of bass or synth. I don't play drums, but I also don't use preprogrammed grooves - everything is done manually. I see that as part of my learning process. I watch a lot of videos on Drumeo, MEINL Cymbals, etc. to get ideas for drums. For mixing/mastering/writing, I watch channels like GetGood Drums,
Joey Sturgis Tones, Waves Audio, URM Academy, and others. Many times, I don't love a song at first, but as I keep adding polish, it grows on me. I hope I get better with each track!
