</div></div>Thanks,<br>
enlightening comment about confidence coming across. Some thing i'll<br>
see if i can work on for the next track. I tried recording with drums<br>
from hydrogen but then found my guitar section to be far too<br>
tight/boring ;) Any hints on keeping a good rhythm when playing with a<br>
click? Focus on dynamics more?<br>
