My first extensive attempt is a Terra mix that I'm still in the process of trying to get working so I can learn enough to do more songs at a higher level (and to repeat ad infinum). I'm working with Logic Pro - I have a Mac Pro, and I keep my recreational usage to another powerful desktop that I have so that the Mac Pro's power is almost exclusively for my music endeavors (as well as some work related stuff).
I haven't worked terribly hard on it so far to be honest. It's a bit disheartening to see that it takes many recordings to get somewhat into the swing of things. I'm largely criticizing myself for timing issues so far, but it seems like it takes a lot of practice & drive, so I'm going to have to man up and keep at it.
