I've been doing some recording with my Electric Violin and Guitar. If your ears start to bleed, I will take no offense.

Nick, I missed this the first time around, and only just now listened to this stuff. Overall, I do like it.

But, some constructive criticism, first, the drums are simplistic. They just sound like small loops over and over again without much variation. Also, there is a non-existent bass (as far as I can tell). Drums and bass are, in my opinion, the most important parts of music. They are the foundation, and without a good foundation, everything just sounds a little bit flatter.

But, I do like the melodies and the flow from the violin and guitar. About the only thing I could recommend in that front is to send the signals through some more filters. This may sound weird coming from someone that almost exclusively listens to synthetic music, but at times they sound too synthetic.

But, like I said, I liked it. I would think it could sound really good with some more post-production work.
