Thanks! The drums are Logic's Brooklyn+ kit, slightly customized. I went phrase by phrase using the session drummer with very low settings to generate short, simple groves, then converted to MIDI and edited from there. I usually write MIDI against a reference audio track, but this went way faster.

Airy Picks and Mirror Objects panned left and right, then put through the Pawnshop Amp sim with the worst settings I could muster. I meant to give it warmth, but that's not what happened

Thanks! I love the *idea* of shoegaze but in practice I find myself backing off the deep (muddy?) mix it wants. Not sure where it will end up.
