My old band Transcenders, Trevor Evans Young- Vocals, Justin Ari- guitar, Jonathan Bynum- Bass, Matt Simpson- drums. Produced, Recorded, and Engineered by B. Keyth Brown.
We put this album out, played one show to support it, and immediately broke up. Bummer.

Kick Face nov2017 m1.mp3

This is literally the very first song I've recorded without anyone else involved. I'm doing everything on this track.
The program came with a 1/4 inch to USB cable from Target, that I got for Christmas three years ago. I finally forced myself to figure the damn thing out. 
Everything is DI. I have a set of Simmons E-drums that I tweaked the pad vol levels on the fly. The guitar is running through a Behringer Fuzz pedal that I also used to boost the gain on the vocals. Everything else is on-board effects in the program. 
It's rough, but . . .punk rock and shit.
