Brutal Tark

One of those weird ones that comes together when playing with new toys. Each layer just kind of fell into place. Most difficult part was getting Mod Wheel automation to work in Ableton Live... ಠ_ಠ

This is dope, listened on the car ride home from work, such a good track to play in the car, drums are nice and thick underpinning the smooth synth and guitar.  Did you get the automation to work?  I generally find Ableton really reliable for that.

Thanks for listening! Yeah, seems like the mod wheel thing was specific to certain VST instruments that don't publicize mod wheel as a parameter, but then respond to CC #1. I ended up having to use a Max4Live device that received the mod wheel automation then forwards it as CC #1 to the VST. Not really Ableton's fault, it was just super annoying having to get out of the flow for this limitation...
