Hey guys I just finished up with mixing on Panic. Would love if someone would lead an ear and give me some feedback! Thank you.

Is it me or my gear? Countless recordings and live performances have used SM57 / SM58 $100 If you can't get a respectable capture into one of those mics. It's not the mic. Headphones -- unless someone is paying you 'I can retire now' money. You probably just need some basic cans. $200 Monitors -- Don't fall for the YT vids. Learn the monitors you can afford. I have heard killer mixes that were done on 6x9 speakers a guy ripped out of a car. He was a real musician / engineer. He had passion. 'All input devices (preamps - Audio interface) are the same'. Kinda. These days the cheap stuff is so good that if you don't push it most can't tell the difference. The thing is if you want character you want to push the pre so the expensive stuff wins. BUT .. you can go clean and then distort in the box. So... is it you? or your gear? Guitar finger squeaks ... I'm sure there is a plugin for that but TomoFugitaMusic can fix that for you. You won't like the discipline and neither did John Mayer. So what is my point? The best advice I have ever gotten, and it always seems to come from many respectable professionals. Stop spending money until you have something that you know for a fact will make a difference OR you are building a collection OR money is simply not an issue in your scenario. The thing you buy, even though considered better, might make you sound worse. Why? because you put a better mic in your less than adequate room because the new guitar amp is super responsive and your technique is inadequate because -- and this could be an expensive good thing -- oh, I thought I was ok but I have work to do. The ENTIRE WORLD is awaiting your new music that is raw, real, and creates an emotional experience for them.

Is there a way to play a midi note come out of the interface though a pedal board then record it on a track?

Hey everyone, it was so fun listening to all your tracks! I thought everyone did a great job, in fact everyone got at least 1 vote for their song! Thats cool :) I think we will be doing more contests in the future in this Member Club. But in the end, here are the results (I also included the top 10 for fun). Congrats to the winner, ill reach out for your prizes!

Always interesting to see what one can do from a vocal prompt in such short space to time! This is what I managed to get done before the bell this time around.
