Last minute DAW goof using Superior Drummer and LABS.

Alternate version using LABS instruments.

Last-minute electronic doodad I threw together with three instruments from the free Tyrell N6 synth plugin. I mostly just wanted to try to maintain momentum from February's RPM Challenge and walk through the REM completion process.

When we assembled at the studio for our first REM Challenge 2023 recording session, Nick offered up a MIDI guitar piece he had been working on. Kevin, being chronically underprepared, did not have any decent sounding guitar VSTs installed on his…
